the sound of my dreadful alarm awoke me at promptly five in the morning. i groaned at the unholy beeps and rings as i turned onto my side, reaching my tired arm out and turning off the alarm.

the sunrise outside peeked through my curtains and right onto the tips of my eyelashes, giving the room an orange glow.

my eyes blinked profusely at the sudden light change and i yawned, screwing my fists into my eyes.

and in that not-so-precious moment, i remembered, today was the day i picked up my best friend, hunter rowland, from the airport.

i smiled widely and the abrupt happiness gave me enough energy to finally hop out of my comfy bed.

my bare feet met the cold wood floors, taking continuous steps to the bathroom.

once i was inside, i did my usual morning business before washing my hands and face.

afterwards, i grabbed my toothbrush and vigorously brushed at my teeth.

smiling in the mirror, i slid out of the bathroom and back into my room, grabbing the outfit i picked the night prior.

i exchanged my pajamas with my distressed, high wasted shorts and my light grey muscle tee/crop top. finishing, i went back into the bathroom, throwing my wavy blonde hair in a messy bun and swiping on a few coats of mascara.

"done." i smiled, approving my casual appearance in my full body mirror.

my mind raced with excited thoughts as i jumped around thinking about seeing hunter again.

i hadn't seen my best friend for three months, and i had craved his presence like a morning person craves their coffee.

i sighed at the thoughts, walking back into my room for what seemed like the millionth time that morning, grabbing my phone and opening up snapchat.

"good morning my beautiful supporters!" i started a snapchat video, waving at the camera. "i just wanted to say have a really good day and i love you and... IM SEEING HUNTER TODAY!"

i couldn't help but burst out in excitement. i chuckled silently to myself for being so childish before i posted the snap on my story.

"cashlynn alexis dallas!" i heard my brother, cameron call out for me.

i exited my room with my phone, walking down the flight of stairs and meeting cameron at the bottom.

"what?" i groaned, looking at him in annoyance. i still had no idea why so many girls loved him. he was the epitome of annoying and gross.

"are you ready to go? and stop judging me. i'm fabulous!" he snapped his fingers jokingly.

i couldn't help but laugh as i grabbed my white high top converse and slipped them on.

"shut up, lets go." i retorted, stepping out of the house and into cameron's black range rover.

he chuckled as he followed along and crawled into the drivers seat, starting the car and pulling out of the driveway.

i took this drive as an opportunity to stalk hunter's social media. i know i sounded like a creep but i missed him beyond the definition of missing someone.

i went onto snapchat for the second time this morning, smiling inwardly as i saw hunter's name in my recently uploaded section.

"hey gorgeous! i just wanted to say good morning and if you feel like ending it, please just remember that i love you and you can get through this. i know you are strong enough." hunter blew an imaginary kiss to the camera and something inside me fluttered.

i furrowed my eyebrows at the action but i shook my head, ignoring the butterflies dancing in my stomach.

"he's so sweet to his fans." i commented to nobody in particular.

"of course he is. he's hunter. one of the most softies i know." cameron laughed and i shrugged, agreeing to his statement.

"OMG WE'RE HERE!!!" i suddenly screamed, seeing the airport come into view.

cameron gave me a weird look before chuckling and shaking his head.

"what? i'm excited." i scoffed, getting a twitter notification.

i looked down at the notification to see it was from hunter.

@HunterRowland: waiting for @CashlynnDallas and @camerondallas to pick me up from the airport💖😁😄

attached to the tweet was a selfie of him and brandon, both using the dog filter from snapchat. i smirked, deciding to tweet back.

@CashlynnDallas: @HunterRowland we're here bestie!!!😘😘💖

i tweeted the tweet and immediately started jumping in my seat.

"i'm finally going to see him! i'm finally going to see hunter!" i screamed as cameron parked into an empty parking space.

once he shut off the car, i bolted outside and ran over to cameron, tugging on his wrist.

"lets go!" i demanded impatiently, causing cameron to laugh hysterically.

he finally gave in, both of us walking inside the airport.

even though cameron didn't say it, i knew he was just as impatient and excited as i was. overall, hunter was like a little brother to him.

"where could he be?" i questioned aloud, not really expecting an answer.

we turned around a corner and looked down the long stretch of carpet.

my eyes scanned everyone's faces until a finally saw the one i had been waiting to see for so long. hunter.

"HUNTER!" i screamed out and his head turned, his eyes widening and his lips curving into a huge smile.

i ran from my spot, sprinting towards my best friend. right when i reached him, i jumped into a hug, encasing my arms around his shoulders and wrapping my legs around his waist.

he held onto me just as tight as i held onto him, and something i thought would never happen occurred.

my stomach burst into butterflies as he hugged me back and i couldn't help but blush.

i finally let go of him and he reached his hand up, tucking a strand of my blonde hair away from my face.

"cash." he breathed out, a smiled still plastered onto his face.

"hunt." i laughed, and he blushed, something i thought i would never be the cause of.

i pretended not to see it as i hugged brandon next.

"hey brando." i chuckled, messing up his straight and shaggy hair.

"sup cash dawg." he joked, and i shook my head playfully at him.

"you guys ready to go?!" hunter screamed and i turned around, joining his side as we started the journey back to the car.

"i missed you so much cash." hunter smiled, wrapping his arm around my waist. it was something he did often, but something inside me felt more than i ever did before when his hand came in contact with my skin.

"you have no idea how much i missed you too." i replied, standing on my tiptoes and giving him a kiss on the cheek.

hunter blushed for the second time and i couldn't help but melt.

was i starting to fall for my best friend?
