Looking Back Again

Ch.1// Recalling the Memories

"That was delicious!" Brandon complemented Hunter. "I've never thought you would be able to cook better than me, usually I beat you at everything!" He chuckled.
Hunter laughed and looked at Brandon. He stopped for a moment. His face turned pale. Brandon waved his hands in front of Hunters face. It seemed to be that he had blacked out for a moment.
"Oh yeah sorry..."
"What was that all about?" Brandon laughed.
"What was what about.."
"You didn't say anything for like 2 minutes. Are you stupid." Brandon teased.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Moving on.." Hunter rushed.

Hunter stood up and pushed in his chair. He went in his room.
-Closes door-
He texts his girlfriend, Hannah. "Hey beautiful, things are getting rough in his house, I can't wait to be with you."
She replies instantly "im so sorry to hear that. hope to see you soon."
Through his vent, Hunter could hear Brandon talking about him to their mother, Christine.
"But mom something has to be wrong with him."
"Oh stop it, it's probably something with his girlfriend again."
"He better keep his little one in a safe place...." Brandon mumbles.
"Brandon what on earth are you talking about.." Christine asks curiously.
Brandon giggles and looks at the floor.
Christine slaps his shoulder playfully and says "Nice one kiddo."
-
Hunter gets out of his room, takes his phone, charger, and jacket, closing his room door behind.
"Have you planned something. Where are you going.." Christine asks. "Mother, I'm going to see-" Brandon cuts him off. "Mom it's obvious he's going to see his smooching buddy again! What's new."
Hunter rolls his eyes and continues. "Hannah. I'm going to see Hannah."
"Aw tell that little love bug I said hello. Welcome her over anytime. Why doesn't she come here for once?" Christine asks.
"Uhhh I don't think she would want to be bothered with... them." He says as he points to Brandon and Ashton.
"Alright, we'll have fun. Don't get into trouble."
"Love you mom."
"Love you hun."

He locks the house door and starts his car.
"I'm coming now princess." He texts Hannah.
"Can't wait to see you love!" She replies.
He makes it to her house and knocks on the doorbell.
She opens the door. The first thing he notices is her beautiful face. They hug eachother for a good two minutes.
"I missed you this whole time!" she says.
"Me too, so happy to be with you right now."
They make their way to her room.
"So why did you want to come over? Was it rough at the house? Spill the info. You can tell me anything." She asks.
"I wouldn't want to bring the negativity to you but Brandon was talking to me, and I don't know maybe- maybe a.." He stutters. "Well maybe I had a memory or something that I remembered. I just blanked out real quick. I don't even know what happened."
"Babe, that's not bad! I do that all the time! You will be alright." She comforts him.

"That's not what it is though. I've got emotional for some reason. I just don't have the words to explain it."
"Well babe please tell me." She insists as she puts her hand on his knee.
"Well..."
She gives him hand motions to continue.
"Brandon was saying how he could beat me at everything. I thought it was a good idea to cook for my family tonight, which I did but ever since we were little, Brandon was so competitive at something. Tonight, he thought he could cook better than me." He explains.
"I don't really know what to say to this. I mean Brandon is so nice. Why did this hit you so hard?" She asks.
"Because... When it took me back to when we were little."
"Well what happened when you were little?"
"You know. We all have our childhoods and mine went real fast it seems like. He was the best brother I could ever ask for, and now i feel like we went from laughing at each others jokes to who could find the hottest girlfriend..."
Hannah chuckles.
"Well we know who won that!" Hannah says playfully to cheer Hunter up.
He smiles and looks at the ground.
"Thanks love."
Hannah's phone rings. She puts her pointer  finger over her mouth, in an action showing silence and closes her door softly.
As Hannah is on the phone, Hunter is left on her room alone. He decides to go on her laptop really quick before she gets back in. Hunter didn't want to let out what he was thinking yet and tell her. He opened her laptop and typed in the Google search bar: www.YouNow.com .
He gasped. "It's changed..."
He heard footsteps so he quickly exited out the site he was on. Then they cleared and she still hasn't come in. He went on again, this time he typed in www.YouNow.com/HunterRowland22 .
His jaw dropped.
Hannah came into the room. He navigated towards the "X" and exited out of YouNow.
"Sorry, it was my friend." She apologized.
"Don't worry love, it's fine."
"Well now that you're here, what do you want to do?"
"Well I mean, could we go on your computer real quick?" He asked like he hadn't went on before.
"Uh, yeah sure." She said. "Just open it up, the password is Dreamer11." Hannah explained as she was doing her nails.
He opens Google again. www.YouNow.com. He checks out the new page. "What's that about?" Hannah asks.
"Want to know what I'm upset about?" He asks as he points to the screen. She continues to look at him.
"THIS. This has been my whole childhood. I've been upset because I feel like people have forgotten who I was, and it was just a 'phase' as they all say." He admits
"That's what you've been upset about?" She giggles.
"It's not a giggle moment. I mean I guess it a little funny but really I've been doing this for a while and now.... People don't even know who I am." He tells her.
Hannah stands up, blows on her nails and moves closer to Hunter. She hugs him.
"I love you, okay? Sometimes you just need a hug to calm you down. Maybe you're just having a bad day babe."
Hunter smiles.
"I love you more... my princess."
"Oh and trust me you will never be forgotten."
Hunter gets a call from his Christine.
"Hold on let me get this."
"Yes mom?" He answers.
"Hey uh Hunter when are you coming home?"
"I'll be there in 5."
"Okay see you soon little one."
He walks back in Hannah's room.
"I've gotta leave in 5 babe." He says with a sad facial expression.
"Awh, okay. We can text later on. What do you want to do in the remaining time?" Hannah asks.
"Not sure. Maybe I should tell you..."
"Tell me what?" She asked. Hunter seemed unsure of something.
"I've been far, really far, really really far. I'm not sure if you've known but I've been on tours, everything. All because of.... YouNow." He explained while having an instant flashback.
Hannah also had a flashback. She thought to herself that maybe that's why Hunter seemed so familiar, and how she already knew the names of Brandon, Ashton and Christine before. And maybe that's why she has always pictured herself next to him. Moments were tossed around in her head....
