***Lacey's P.O.V***

We had to walk through the crowd of screaming girls (and some boys) to get inside the building. Girls were grabbing at my shirt and pulling me every which way to take pictures.
At one moment, I was stuck in a circle full of girls and had phones and flashes in my face. I guess you can say I almost had a panic attack. Hunter grabbed my waist and pulled me In front of him so that no one could pull me back again.
Once we got inside, sighs of relief came from everyone.

"See, even the girls are trying to get at you because you look so beautiful today!" Hunter said.
We all laughed. I laughed a little and I shook my head. We had about 15 minutes before we had to go on stage.
We sat backstage where the couches and chairs were. Hunter sat next to me and grabbed my hand. It gave me butterflies and I was blushing. 
Even though we were sitting in a room full of people,that weren't talking. Holding hands wasn't awkward.  Hunter glanced at my bare arms, then at my wrists and then at me. He looked me straight in the eyes, I swear he could see right through me.

"Why?" he asked softly.

"They're from a while a go." Lies. He knew that too.

"I don't do it anymore." He knew I was lying about that too.

My most recent cut was from 2 weeks ago. I could feel my eyes filling up with tears, I refused a single drop to fall out. He pulled me close and I started to cry.
I'm someone that hides their emotions. I'm not depressed 24/7. I just don't like to show my emotions that often. I was also good at hiding them because no one could tell whether I was lying about being happy. However, Hunter was different. He knew what I was feeling. Hunter started wiping my tears away. He took a piece of my hair and put it behind my ear.

"You shouldn't be wearing makeup in the first place.  Baby, your beautiful with or without makeup." He smiled.

That cheered me up. I smiled back. I held his hand for a minute. We didn't say anything. Just silence. All we did was exchange smiles and looks.

"Promise me one thing." He said

"Okay."I replied

"Don't don't do it any more"

"Promise" I say while holding his pinky with mine.

It was time to go on stage. I was happy. I was where I belonged...
