*Abby's pov*
I slowly  walk over to the casket and place the flowers down. Then I walk over to the podium and call for everyone's attention. This is the first time I get a good look at who actually came. I see my grandma's friends, doctors, her sister, and some other people that I don't recognize . I also see my mother, father, and sister in the corner. And then Jacob and Rachel in the opposite corner. All together there is about 40 people and that are watching me right now. I take a deep breath and say

"Hello everyone, thank you for coming to celebrate this lovely women's , my Grandma's, life! I grew up not getting to see her that much, but when I did I would have the most fun I ever did as a child. She is the one who taught me all I know and how to be a better person. Throughout my life not many people have been there to help and support me, my Grandma was one of  the only ones. There is one thing in particular that she was very supportive and helpful of that many of you do not know about. Around a year ago one of the most wonderful things came into my life, many of you would think it was a curse, but it was a blessing. I had gotten pregnant and had a child last year, her name is Rachel and she is the most beautiful thing i've ever seen. She is back there in the corner with her father, Jacob. My Grandmother was the one who taught me to be strong in this situation, without her I don't know if I would be able to take care of Rachel. She was the kindest, thoughtful, most genuine person I have ever met and may she rest in peace. I will always love you grandma, and thank you for everything you have done for me." The whole time I was talking I was either looking at Jacob or Rachel. I finally look up to see everyone else's faces. My family's jaws are dropped, friends of mine are looking at me like i've been hit by a car. I walk down off the podium and go stand next to Jacob. He takes my hand and squeezes it and whispers in my ear "You did great, don't worry".  The next couple people go up and talk. I look at my phone and get a text from Hunter

  "Hey abs, I am on my way to the funeral. See you soon"
"Okay, me and Jacob are in the back" I responded

Ever since my grandma died Hunter and Jacob and I havn't been fighting. I guess they knew my grandma's death would be hard on me. We have all gotten along just fine. Jacob has just been acting like a really good friend to me and has been really helpful with Rachel. Hunter and I have been acting as more than friends lately, but hasn't gone anywhere past that.

I feel someone wrap their arms around me, I turn around to see Hunter. He kisses my forehead and ask "Are you okay. How has it been?"

"I already spoke and I told everyone about Rachel and now I just feel like everyone is staring at me"

"Don't worry, no one is staring. If anyone says anything to you I will be right here."

"Thank you" I look up and give him a small peck on the cheek

The person that was talking had finished and he was the last one. The funeral was over and everyone was headed to their car to leave. I hear my name being called from behind me. Jacob told me it was my parents and sister. I told Hunter and Jacob to take Rachel in the car and I would be there soon. I turn around dreading this conversation to not even be happening right now. My father is the first one to say something.
"Abby can we just talk about this for a second"
Mom:" TALK... YOU WANT TO TALK MIKE. SHE HAD A CHILD AND WE DIDN'T EVEN TELL US"

Father: "Well obviously she must've not trusted us enough to tell us. If you weren't such a bitch to her her whole life then maybe things would've been different. Maybe she wouldn't have even had a baby"

Mom: "oh don't blame this on me now. I've raised Abby myself as a single parent. You've been I've traveling her whole life and I was the one left to take care of her"

I look over at Julia and she is on her phone texting. Wow she just found out she is an aunt and is on her phone not even gonna say a word to me.

Me: "okay guys, stop fighting. We all know you were both bad parents so stop arguing about it. I have a child to go take care of so I need to go. I will be by the house to pick up my things later today. I am moving into grandmas house. It was in her will that I get it so I will be moving in there today. And Julia I will not need a ride to school anyone"

I begin to walk away towards the car when I get a text from Julia
"Hey I am sorry. Glad to be an aunt :)"
I open it and don't respond because she can't just be nice like that after all she's done to me. I just get it out of my head and go to the car.
I sit in the passenger seat while Hunter is driving and Jacob is in the back with Rachel.

"Do you not wanna drive your car?" I ask Hunter.
"It's okay. I'll come back and get it later. I figured us four can go do something fun to get out mind off things" says Hunter
Jacob chimes in "its okay. You to go. I'll go drive home with Rachel and watch her the rest of the day."
"Are you sure Jacob. We can all go" I say
"Abby seriously, you two need some time alone. You guys haven't been alone in forever. Go have fun" Jacobs replies
"Thanks man. Let's go Abby" Hunter says

Hunter and I get out of the car and into his. Once the doors are shut Hunter grabs my face and we start making out right away. It last about 10 seconds before I pull out and say "no time to waste their boy"
"I just missed you so much"
"We have been with each other for the past 3 week"
"Yeah but not alone" he says and gives me that smirk that I remember from the first day I met him
"okay. So where are we going "
"It's a surprise. Just relax "

*Hunter's pov*
Abby and I haven't been alone since we had that fight. Ever since then things haven't been fine, but we've been acting like friends and I just think today I wanna tell her how I really feel about her. I am gonna take her to the beach today so we can just relax and talk. Before I arrived at the funeral I grabbed out bathing suits at her house because I have had this planned.
The whole car ride we are listening to the radio. Her favorite song "Sunday Candy" by chance, the rapper comes on. She gives me and glance and sings it like she's pouring her heart out. When the chorus comes on we sing it together. I run my hand through her hair. She is so beautiful. I just sit there and smile at her, Watching her sing. She looks at me and says
"Why are you staring at me"
"No reason" I smirk. I can tell she loves it when I smirk.
After about 25 min we get to the beach. I see her face light up when she sees where we are.
"Oh my god Hunter I haven't been to the beach in so long. Eeeschhhhhhhh I am so exciteddddd, but I don't have a suit "
"Don't worry. I got one of yours before I left."
We get out of the car and go to the bathroom to get changed. When Abby comes out I just freeze. Dammnnnnn she's hot..... Holy. My god. 

"Hunter stop staring or I'm gonna take it off" Abby says and giggles
"Sorry babe but damn you look hot."
"Now there's the Hunter I remember"
I take her hand and walk down to the sand and spread out our blanket and we both lay down.
"Thanks for bringing me here Hunter. With all the stress of my grandma, my family, Rachel, and Jacob. It's just nice to have to say just to relax. Especially with you" Abby says
"Well I'm glad I could help. I just wanted us to have a day to ourselves."
We lay down and say lays her head on top of my chest and my hand is going through her hair. I could just lay here for hours with her like this. Abby means so much to me. The first day I saw her in class I never would've thought I would be where I am. I really have feelings for this girl. Probably one of the first girls I've really ever cared about. She's a special one. I never wanna loose her.
*Abby's pov*
After about 20 minutes, Hunter falls asleep . I slowly get up off of him and  go grab a bucket and fill it with water from the ocean. I run back and splash the whole bucket on top of him. He jumps up "ABBY!!! I'm gonna get you for this" he comes running after me. I run so far until I he catches up. He wraps his arms around my waist and spins me around. We stop and look into each others eyes. He leans in and we kiss. I've never felt like this before. Butterflies are going everywhere in my stomach. I can't even think straight.
We stop kissing and he says " Look who likes me now. I knew you would."
"Oh don't get full of yourself."
"Come on Abby I know you do. Just admit it"
"Okay fine. I guess your not as bad as everyone says"
"Oh people say I'm bad"
"Well you are Hunter Rowland. Mr. Popular. Mr. I can get anyone I want guy"
"Oh that is not true."
"Yes it is Hunter
"Then why can't I get you"
Abby stops and looks into my eyes. We just stand there staring at each other for a little bit
"Abby listen. I never, ever have liked someone like I like you before. You make my head spin when I see you. You are always on my mind. I just wanted to say this before you ran off on me or something. Because Abby... I like you. It really like you. And I want things between us to work out. So Abby will you be my girlfriend?"
"Hunter. Oh my gosh. Really. Are you serious?"
"Well yeah. Please don't leave me hanging"
"Yes Hunter, yes!! I would love to be your girlfriend!
