December 4th
I woke up the next morning to my phone ringing, i checked the caller ID and it was Hunter, how did he get my number? I sat up and pressed the green button, signaling that i answered the call. But he didnt say anything.
"What do you want?" I said, wearily.
"Well good morning to you too, princess." He laughed, i was not in the mood, if you can't tell..I'm not a morning person.
"Ha, ha. Very funny. But really, what do you want?" I said, ready to go back to sleep.
"I was wondering, um, if you wanted to go to get breakfast with me?" He said shyly.
"Of course! I'm starving!" I say cheerfully.
"I'll see you at 9:30, bye sweetheart."
Then he hung up, I looked at the clock, it was 8:45. Fuck! I thought as i quickly jumped out of bed, my bare feet touching the cold floor. I ran to the bathroom to take a shower, and I stopped to look in the mirror.
"Ugh, I look disgusting, thank god there's makeup!" I said to myself, taking my clothes off and hopping into the shower.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I was currently standing in front of my closet, looking for something to wear.
"Shit....I have no clothes!" I checked the time, 9:03. I sighed and quickly decided on a black v-neck, a pair of blue skinny jeans, and my black vans. (I didn't bring a jacket because I wanted to see if he would give me his, if i got cold) Simple, I guess. I didn't want to look like I tried to hard.
I go to my bathroom and straightened my brown hair.
"Wow, I look a little better?" I say to myself, raising an eyebrow.
I checked the time again, 9:18.
I quickly put some mascara, a pinkish blush (so I don't look too dead), and chapstick.
Then I got a text from Hunter.
"im here ;)"
Shit, it's already 9:30?
I left a note for the people who lived with me, grabbed my phone, and I left.
I got to Hunter's car and he was waiting outside the car door.
"Hey, you look great." He said and hugged me, he was so tall compared to me.
"Thanks, you look good too." I gave him a small smile.
He didn't say anything and he opened the door.
"You didn't have to do that, but thank you." I said and smiled getting into the car. He got into the car and started driving.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"I'm not telling you." He smirked.
"How more cliche could this be?" I joked.
He smiled, I turned on the radio to fill the silence that was in the car.
What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction came on.
We both started singing, horribly.
"That's what makes you beautiful!" We sang in unision. We laughed, this was the most fun I've had in a while.
We got to this clearing near the woods, the woods wasn't too far from where we were living.
"We're here!" Hunter said cheerfully.
I didn't say anything, I was too busy thinking if him doing this was like a date.
"Are you okay?" He said, shutting his car off.
"Yeah? I'm fine!" I said snapping out of my thoughts.
"Okay.." He said, unconvinced.
We both got out of the car and he went to his trunk, to get things of course.
Then it hit me, "how could we possibly have breakfast in the middle of the woods?" I thought.
"Hey, um, Hunter?"
"Yeah?" He said not looking at me.
"How are we going to have breakfast out in the middle of the woods?" I asked.
It was then he pulled out two McDonalds bags.
"You've got to be kidding me?" I said jokingly.
"Nope. You don't seem to be the type of person to like fancy things." He said with a straight face. "Do you mind holding the bags? So I can get the blankets and stuff."
I took the bags and laughed.
He set up all of the stuff and we sat down, he handed me my bag.
"I didn't know what you liked so I just got you the same thing I got." He said looking down.
"Do you really think I care at this point?" I said sitting on the blanket he put down.
He didn't say anything but he sat next to me, and he was really fucking close.
My cheeks heated up and anxiety swept over me.
Calm down. I told myself.
"Are you okay?" Hunter asked, looking at me with his peircing green eyes.
"Y-yeah I'm fine. Just cold." I lied, rubbing the goosebumps on my arms. "Here." He gave me his jacket, and we started eating. I tried to thank him, but he wouldn't let me.
"So remember this", Hunter said, "this isn't a vacation, today we're doing hand-to-hand combat. I think you'll like it."
I smiled.
"Tell me about yourself, and your life. You don't seem to talk much." Hunter laughed.
I finished chewing my food and I replied, "what do you want to know?" "Just start anywhere you'd like." He said, drinking his coffee.
"I'm not gonna bore you with details about how good my life was..at first. My parents were married for 13 years, then they fought over everything. Like, if I could hang out with my friends, if I should date, if I could play more sports and other stuff. All the did was fight about me. So i couldn't help but feel like I caused the fighting. I started getting depressed, unable to get out of bed on some days. My parents noticed, they tried to put get me to talk to a therapist but I couldn't, if I tried I would break down. My parents divorced and that's when my life got worse. I started to drink and I smoked weed all the time. I hung out with the wrong people just to stop thinking about my life. My parents found out and they we're so fucking pissed. I ran away and went to my friend's house, I would go to school sleepover just like how I would at my house. My parents never even tried to look for me, never called, never texted, or did anything to try to contact me...or anyone who knew me." I stopped, and I took a deep breath, thinking if I should continue. He nodded, seemingly reading my mind.
"It got so bad to the point where I would cut myself and I even attempted suicide. I don't know why I did, but when you're in that state of mind, anything seems right. I wish I could reverse time so I would never do it." Tears threaten to spill.
"Well, guess what?" Hunter says.
"What?"
"I went through the same thing...minus the family situation," He says showing me his wrist. "You're not alone Finn, just remember that."
He looked into my eyes, fuck his eyes burned into my soul, God, why do you do this to me? He slowly leaned in, and I followed, not realizing what I was doing. Then we kissed. You know how in the movies the always say they feel fireworks? Well, thats exactly what happened to me. My stomach felt like it was gonna explode and my heart was beating so fast, but before i knew it, he broke away, he looked down.
"Finn, can I tell you something?"
"Yeah, of course."
"I think you're an awesome person, and I know that we're gonna make it through this horrible time, together." He squeezed my hand, and I did the same.

It was now 5:27pm. I had to leave our "dorm" at 5:40. I quickly put on a black v-neck, black leggings, and some random black and white Nike's I found. I pulled my hair into a ponytail and I put on a thick, white headband. I looked into my mirror, trying to see if I had some boobs or something! But of course, I'm super flat-chested and my butt could use a lot more squats. Maybe, I should do the 30-day squat challenge? I thought to myself. I sang along to the music that was playing.
Can you save, can you save my, can you save my heavydirtysoul?
A deep voice interrupted my music.
"I didn't know you liked this band? A man I've never seen before said.
"Holy fuck! You scared me!" I said, gasping for air that seemed to escape my lungs.
He laughed. He looked so cute, he was wearing a tight-fitted dark gray shirt, dark gray sweatpants, and Nike's.
"Like what you see?" He asked.
I blushed, looking down.
"No need to get nervous, it's not like I'm gonna do anything to you." He said, getting closer.
He towered over me, and he looked 10 times stronger than me too.
"How did you get in here?" I asked, fear overwhemling me.
"I have the keys, babe." He dangled the key in my face, I tried to reach but he only raised his hand higher. I huffed.
"What do you want?" I said, backing up, while he still pushed forward.
"I want you...isn't that obvious?" He pinned me to the wall.
"Please get off of me, I have to go.." I checked the time..5:40.
"I'm not done with you yet." He winked and left my room.
I left my room as well, and I'm not telling Hunter about this.
I got into the main lobby where everyone was at. That same guy who tried to do something to me was talking to us.
"Attention, everyone. As many of you know, my name is Blake, and I am the director of this facility." Really? God, has horrible plans for me.
"Today we will start combat, advanced fighters will move up, and people who aren't very good at fighting back," he looked directly at me, "will need some assistance from the advanced fighters." He continued, "Don't worry, you guys will catch on fast. Anyways, I need all advanced fighters, the people with green bracelets on, go into the other room." More then half of the people left.
"Now, I have you guys. The ones with the pink bracelets." Oh! That's why we have these things! I thought.
"I need you guys to partner up." Blake made his move, "I'll be your partner."
I sighed, this was gonna suck.
We worked on punching, kicking, dodging and other things.
"Wow, you're a natural!" He said.
"Thanks, I didn't think I would be good." I replied, drinking my Gatorade.
He laughed, "I knew you would catch on easily." We looked at the others who weren't very good.
"You still need to work on force but other than that, you're good to go!" Blake said. He seemed so nice. That all went away though.
"Come to my room after this."
He dismissed everyone.
I didn't go, I was scared. So I went back to my room and took a shower. After that, I layed on my bed and started watching Pewdiepie's videos, I drifted off into sleep, listening to the videos and ignoring my problems.
