bestfriends? || hunter rowland ♡

part eight : the kiss

Hunter and I went back to normal quickly, and I'm so glad we stuck to being bestfriends. After everything that happened with Mackenzie, we're obviously not friends anymore. She blamed everything on Hunter, but oh well. Some other people didn't want to me friends after that, too, but its fine by me.  Hunter, Zach, Ryan, Sophia, Julianna and I all stayed close and I'm happier than ever.

Tonight was the first day of Christmas break, and we were all sleeping over Zach's house.

I changed into the outfit *in media* and walked down to Hunter's house to hang out a bit before.

When I walked in, I heard a guitar being played and a familiar voice singing. It was Hunter. Wow, all these years I never knew he could sing.

He was singing Memories by Shawn Mendes, my favorite song. *also in media listen to it* I sat down on his bed, without him realizing, and recorded for Snapchat.

Let's write our story
And let's sing a song
Let's hang our pictures on the wall
All these precious moments
That we carved in stone
Are only memories after all

I made the caption, "who knew this cutie could sing😉❤️" and then he realized I was sitting there.

"Val! How long have you been here?!" He asked, surprised. "Long enough to know you have a great voice, and to record some snapchats." I smiled, and next thing I knew Hunter scooped me up, trying to get my phone.

I refused to delete the videos, but the way he tried to grab my phone was hilarious to both of us.

"ohh, honey, you'll regret this. i dont wanna see your booty complaining when i wont delete ...something." he smirked at me. I was ready, and had enough blackmail for payback. Trust me, a lot.

After Hunter finally put me down, we went to hang out and broadcast with Brandon for a while. 30 minutes into it, we realized we were late to Zachs. So, we went over to Zach's for the party.

We went back to my house, and Nick drove us to the other side of town. When we walked in, everyone was playing spin the bottle truth or dare, this should be interesting.

Once we sat down with the group, Julianna spun the bottle, it landed on Hunter, and he chose truth, wow.
"Tell everyone your thoughts about the most beautiful person here," she said, and Hunter quickly glanced at me.

"She's the most beautiful girl I've laid eyes on. Her eyes that dazzle in the light, her adorable little smile, and the way she always blushes around me, is all adorable. She brings out the best in me, and I really think I love her. After all these years, memories, fights, I'm just lucky I have her as a best friend. I don't know what I'd do without you, bab-val.."

Hunter was blushing like crazy, so was I, and the whole group stared at us.

Did I think being friends was a good idea? Yes. But did I fall for him harder every day? Also yes. Was I in love with Hunter Bryce Rowland? I think so.

Everyone did some stupid dares, they were actually funny, but not anything insane. Zach spun and it landed on me, so I chose dare. He dared me to kiss Ryan, and Hunter's face completely changed. He was angry, definitely.

The kiss would mean nothing to me, and probably not to Ryan either, so we went for it. Hunter was mad, extremely mad. He walked right out, so I broke the kiss and ran after him.

He sat down in the livingroom, with his head in his hands. "Hey, talk to me about this.." I said, laying a hand on his shoulder. He looked up at me, with hurt eyes and said,

"Listen, you know I'm madly in love with you. I didn't think I could be so in love so young, but I am, I know it. You're everything I've ever wanted, and knowing I cant have you..it kills me. Seeing you and Ryan, I just can't see you with him. I just need to go home, ill talk to you tomorrow."

And with that he walked out. I get it, we love eachother, but I can't do this right now. I need to prepare myself for this again. If this dare hurt him so much, did he think of how I felt when I saw him with Mackenzie?! I don't know, but I think it was a worse situation.

I went back up, and just explained Hunter didn't feel good. The whole night, I just thought about him, I wanted him, but I was still upset. I couldn't take all the tension happening after we were together. Did we need a break from eachother? I had no clue what to do.

I tried to enjoy the night, but I couldn't. As soon as Nick picked me up in the morning, I went over to the Rowland's hoping to talk to Hunter. Brandon said he refused to talk to anyone, and wouldn't let me in either. What the heck?
