The Promise (Hunter Rowland fan fic)

Why? Chapter 18

Mia's POV:

When I looked up I was expecting to see Brandon standing there, but he wasn't. The only body I saw other than Hunters and my own, was Weston's probably-lifeless body on the ground next to us all bloody. I stood up and offered Hunter my hand and he took it ,he smiled, but it wasn't his regular, beautiful, smile. It was...fake. He obviously was as scared as I was about this. When Hunter was finally up, and taller then me again, I took his hand and walked out the door and down the old wooden staircase of the abandoned house. I looked at Hunter then back ahead taking one more step so now we were on the first floor. "Brandon!" I yelled hoping to see him as I brushed my light brown hair out of my face and behind my ear, with the hand that wasn't gripping Hunters tightly. "Brandoooooo!" Hunter screamed. I looked at him and started walking around some more and finally-reluctantly- let go of Hunters hand. "We should...split up." I said giving a small smile. "Yeah I'll go to the back of the house you do front?" He said looking around. "Yeah sure" I replied and started walking, only taking two steps, when I felt a soft hand grip my left arm. I looked to see Hunter. "Hey" he said. I was confused at this so I just replied with a ,"Huh?" He chuckled slightly and let go of my arm but I was still facing him waiting for an answer. " I just I lo-love you so much." He said. I had no idea what to say because I do love him I really,truly do, but I still think it's a little to early to start saying 'the L word' when we weren't even officially together. So I just half smiled,"I lo-like you allot too!" I said and walked away to the front of the house to search for Brandon and leave this conversation. I looked every where but there was no sign of Brandon. Just as I was going to the back of the house to find Hunter and tell him I couldn't find him, I saw Hunter in the room I was heading towards. "Hey.I umm...I couldn't find him." I said awkwardly from our other conversation.

Hunters POV:

I saw Mia coming over to me.
I was so confused. I just told her how I felt and she said she just likes me?
I hope she loves me back."Hey.I umm...I couldn't find him." She said in her soft voice. All I could do was stop and look into her eyes," Mia do you love me?" I asked.
"Well...I umm I-I do but I don't know if I can be in a relation ship again." She said and looked down biting her lip to keep her lip from crinkling, as it normally did when she was about to cry. I stared at her confused, looking at her beautiful outfit, and hair, and just everything really. I loved her so much what could ever keep her from having another relationship?"What do you mean what happened?" I say.
"Well you see. I've only had two boyfriends before, Weston, and this guy named Zach. But Weston abused me, and Zach....nevermind. The point is I don't know who I can trust anymore." Her words brought pain to me. Just knowing Weston hurt her, that anyone hurt her, it brings pain to me. But what did this Zach guy do? Why?
