I keep at it, not letting myself stop, not giving up. I keep going, my legs pounding as my feet hit the ground.

"Just keep going." I tell myself,

Trying to push away my thoughts, push away the sound of his voice, the feeling of his hands on my hips, the way his green eyes analyzed me.

I hated it, the fact that he could affect me that way, the way he could still make me feel like I used to. The way he could make me want him, make me crave him.

"You'll always be more then a bet."

I hated him, he walked around and tried to rule my life as if I was his, but I wasn't. Yet he got jealous. I saw the fury in his eyes as he accused me of sleeping with Chase.

He was jealous, Hunter was jealous and I knew it. I saw it in his eyes, the jealousy, the anger, the pain. It pissed me off to see him care because he shouldn't.

Suddenly the machine stops, I gasp as the treadmill stops moving and almost trip before a pair of hands steady me. I turn to face Ben who looked worried.

"Shit Lil, you can hurt yourself like that." Ben says as I take deep breaths and glace at the machine.

My eyes move towards the timer.

I had been here for almost two hours, running from my own freaking thoughts. I take deep breaths and look up at Ben.

"What's wrong Lily?" He asks as I sigh.

"I'm just... confused." I state honestly as he smiles sadly.

"Well killing yourself isn't going to help." He says as I grab the water bottle from the cup holder. I take a few drinks before sighing.

"It helps me Ben." I mutter as he nods.

"I know Lily, but you can seriously hurt yourself by pushing that hard." Ben lectures as I roll my eyes.

"Yes sir." I muse as he shakes his head and sighs.

"How about we go to that party tonight? Free booze is always helpful." Ben says as I sigh.

"That does sound pretty nice." I mutter as he smiles.

"Alright, I'll pick you up at 8." He says as I nod before we head back to the dorms.

It had been a week since Hunter had shown up and confronted me about me sleeping with someone. A week since he suddenly made me feel things I didn't want to feel. A week since Hunter Graham fucked things up again.

I didn't understand why he couldn't just ignore me, why he couldn't just pretend like I didn't exist. Why couldn't he do what I had been doing theses last few weeks? Why not just avoid me?

I take a shower, letting the warm water relax my muscles and ease the tension. I also desperately needed to get rid of the stench of sweat that lingered on my body.

I dry myself off after making sure to scrub my body with the dove body wash Alexis had bought and making sure to wash my hair thoroughly.

I had gone through the pain of laser hair removal to make sure no hair grew out of my legs or armpits anymore.
