05 | Hunter Rowland

I was just done with my classes and headed home, when my mom called.

I wasn't expecting something like that, I thought she just wants me to go to the store because she forgot something or wanted me to check on my grandma on my way home, but I was so wrong.

"Hey, mom, I'm on my way home," I said picking up the phone.

"Honey, I have to tell you something." Something was wrong, I could hear it in her voice.

"Is everything okay?" I asked turning into our street.

"Don't panic, but Hunter's mom just called me."

"Is he coming home?" I asked happily.

I haven't seen him in two weeks, I missed him so much.

Hunter and I had been dating for almost year. I met him at Playlist and we just instantly felt the chemistry.

It was hard because he travelled a lot, but luckily I was in high school and I could easily get to him when I didn't have too many classes.

"No, sweetie, Hunter had an accident."

"What?" I asked quietly and I stopped in the middle of the street not believing what I heard.

"He was coming back, he wanted to surprise you, but they crashed with another car."

"Is he okay?" I asked panicking and started to run towards our house.

"He is in the hospital, he broke his leg, and still unconscious."

"Where is he? I'm going there," I said not even caring about anything.

"I thought you would say that, so I already booked you a ticket."

I quickly packed a few things and my dad drove me to the airport.

My ticket was hella expensive but I just had to see Hunter.

By the morning I was in New York and first thing was to go to the hospital. His mom was there when I arrived.

"How is he?" I asked worrying.

"He woke up for like an hour, but he is asleep again," she said and I could tell she didn't sleep since yesterday.

"Christine, go home, I will be there, but you need to rest," I told her hugging her.

"But what if he wakes up again?"

"I'll be there. Sleep a few hours and then come back, okay?"

Finally she nodded. She must had been really tired, I wanted her to rest a bit.

"Alright, call me if something happens, I'll be back later."
She hugged me and then left. I took a deep breath before going into Hunter's room, and there he was.

He looked like he was just sleeping but then I saw his plastered leg and I wanted to cry.
I sat down next to him, putting my stuff to the ground and carefully took his left hand in my hands.

"Hunter, what did you do?" I asked sighing, and trying to fight my tears back. His hand were warm and soft, just like usual, but he had some bruises on his lower arm. "You wanted to surprise me and this happened. You should have just stayed there, I was going to see you in a week."

He was supposed to come to our place in a week and stay there for almost two weeks.

I missed him so much, and it would had been so good to see him earlier, but now he had this damn accident and I was so mad at him and mostly myself, because I whined to him almost every night about how much I missed him.

I gently caressed the back of his hands and then leaned to it kissing his knuckles. When I looked back at him, his eyes were slightly opened.

"Hey baby," he mumbled in a husky voice.

"Oh God, Hunter, you are awake!" I stood up and almost threw myself on him, but then I remembered he wasn't in a good condition, so I just hugged his neck, burying my face into his skin.

"Shh, baby, it's okay, I'm good." He hugged me tightly and I was so close to crying, but I managed to stop myself.

"I was so worried, Hunter, my mom called me that you had an accident, I came here with the first flight, this past few hours were a nightmare!"

"I'm so sorry baby, but I'm okay, I just have a broken leg. But the silver lining is we still can see each other earlier, than we planned on." His grin was everything, I was so happy to see him smile.

"This is not fucking funny, Hunter, don't say it like it's something good!" But I was laughing.

"How long are you staying?" he asked now seriously.

"I don't really know, I just rushed here because my boyfriend almost died!" I said giving him a hard look.

"Yeah, whatever. Are you staying for the weekend? You could be my nurse, taking care of me in every way," he said winking at me playfully.

He just had a fucking accident and he already was thinking about dirty stuff. Unbelievable.

"If I'm gonna be your nurse, there will be no mercy, I swear to God."

"Then be my amazing girlfriend and kiss me already," he smiled at me sweetly and pulled me to him so he could crash his lips onto mines.

"I love you, baby," he mumbled between two kisses.

"I love you too, Hunter," I said sighing. I was so happy that he was almost alright. It was scary to know he could be much worse than that. But I was grateful he was okay and we was together again.
