It was October, windy and cold. I was on my phone waiting for my best friend, Hunter, to text me back. We've been talking for about two years even though we have never met. He always watches my broadcasts on YouNow and I watch all of his. I was supposed to go on tour to meet him but my manager messed up and I wasn't able to go.

 I was listening to music and dancing like an idiot in front of the open window in my bedroom when my phone starts buzzing. It was Hunter.

{Kenz}: Hey Hunter

{Hunter}: Hey Cutie

{Kenz}:When is tour over?

{Hunter}: Friday. 

{Kenz}: Oh okay. My manager promised me she is flying me out to meet next time she gets a chance

{Hunter}: Okay can't wait.  I really want to meet you, Cutie.. It's all I think about

{Kenz}: Lol same

{Hunter}: Okay well I got to go. Sorry I will text you later. I promise.

Hunter and I are close. In two days he would be going back to Arizona and I would be in stupid California.  It isn't far; but my parents are never around and I can't drive yet and I can't walk there. 

Around 5 o'clock he texts me again. 

____________

{Hunter}: Mackenzie!!

{Kenz}: What is it, Hunter?

{Hunter}: My manager said that I can skip an event and fly out to Cali and come get you and take you on tour with me 

{Kenz}: OMG!!

{Hunter}: I am going to fly out tonight so I will be there around 3 in the morning. 

{Kenz}: Okay I will be up. When are you leaving?

{Hunter}: around 12 am. 

{Kenz}: Okay do you need my address or do I have to go to the airport?

{Hunter}: I have your address from the last time we planned to meet up so I'll pick you up. I am going to let you pack. 

{Kenz}:   Okay. Can't wait!

________________

I run upstairs and start packing. I grab about four crop tops, shorts, and some shoes. I also pack my makeup bag even though I don't wear makeup. I keep some important things in there and who knows, maybe I will put makeup on. I grab my bathing suit and then bring everything downstairs. While I am  laying down I remember the stuff I had set aside for when we met. I've been waiting to give it to him. 

It was a paper that had Hunter on it in big letters that I made when I first started watching him. There was also a letter I wrote last year and then the little gift I got him this year. I put it in my bag and set it by the door. I text Hunter when I am done and ask him how long I was staying. 

____________

{Hunter}: Today and leaving next week. 

{Kenz}: Doesn't the tour end the day I get there?

{Hunter}: My manager rented me a house by the lake for us.

{Kenz}: I can't believe it!

{Kenz}: I'm going to watch TV. Text me when you're at the airport. xoxo
