Younow soulmates || Hunter Rowland

Tonight we were all going out for Cameron's birthday meal, it wasn't his actual birthday today but we wouldn't see him tomorrow because he's spending it with family.

It was a pretty fancy meal so I decided to wear this dress:

With this makeup look:

I went to the room where all the boys were and knocked on the door. Blake answered and when he saw me his jaw dropped "you look beautiful Emma" he said and couldn't stop staring.

Hunter was giving Blake an evil look as if to say 'stay away from my girl'.

"Thank you Blake" I said awkwardly and sat next to Hunter.

"You do look stunning, I have to agree with that" Hunter whispered to me making me blush. Blake just rolled his eyes and went on his phone.

After about 30 minutes waiting for everyone to get ready, we got taxis to the restaurant.

I sat next to Hunter and he was holding my hand tightly as if to prove to Blake that I belonged to him, did Hunter know that Blake liked me in that way?

When we got to the restaurant I was sat next to Blake and Brandon, Hunter went and sat next to Jacob across the table I guess he didn't want to sit with me.

"Is Hunter mad at me?" I asked Brandon.

"I don't think so, what makes you say that?" he asked back.

"I dunno, he just didn't want to sit with me and I got the hint he was mad that's all"

"Well then he's an idiot" Blake chimed in.

"Blake... don't" I tried to stop him.

"No, Emma. I'm sorry that Hunter can't see how stupid he's being to diss you like this" he was shouting now, everyone in the restaurant heard that.

"What did you just say?" Hunter got up from his chair and walked over to Blake.

"Guys stop!" It was making me upset seeing them fight like this, they were best friends earlier.

"Blake I know you're crushing on Emma! Just back off!" Hunter was now really getting on Blake's nerves.

Before I knew it Blake punched Hunter in the jaw. Everyone jumped out of their seats immediately and pushed Blake out of the way.

"Hunter!!! Are you okay??" I screamed.

"I'm fine, I can take a weak punch from a nobody" he replied giving Blake the evil eyes.

"Hunter don't test me" Blake said while shaking out of everyone's grip and walking out of the restaurant.

I really did like the fact that Blake stuck up for me because Hunter was ignoring me but he did take it too far. He was a nice guy, but so was Hunter.

"Hey Hunter lets go back to the hotel, I'll get you cleaned up" I took his hand and we walked out, I said to Cameron that I was sorry we ruined his birthday meal but he was just told me it wasn't my fault.

We got to the hotel room and I led Hunter to the bathroom and he sat on the counter. I wiped the blood off of his jaw and cleaned up while a tear came out of the corner of my eye.

"Emma, what's wrong?" he looked genuinely concerned.

"Don't worry." I said bluntly and walked over to my bed, sat down and went on my phone.

"Is this about Blake? You like him don't you? Why don't you just go to his room Emma?"

"I don't like him like that Hunter! If you weren't so dumb then you would realise that I like you. I love you. But I will go to Blake's because he actually appreciates me" I grabbed my bag and put my shoes on.

"Go on then, I won't stop you" he shook his head at me and went into the bathroom.

What a jerk.

I went to Blake's room and knocked on the door.

"Boy, you're the last person I was expecting to see right now" he said as he opened the door.

"Blake, can I come in?"

"sure" he gestured me in and closed the door behind me.

"Are you mad at me?" he asked after a moment of uncomfortable silence.

"no, why would I be?" I questioned.

"I punched Hunter" he said in an obvious tone.

"I couldn't care less about Hunter right now, he's being horrible to me" a tear escaped my eye once again because I'm just thinking about Hunter. I really did love him.

"He's an idiot, you don't deserve this" he wiped my tears.

"Thank you"

"Come on, you look tired. You should get some sleep" he pointed to the bed.

"Yeah okay" I went to the bathroom so I could change into my pyjamas.

When I walked out of the bathroom I crawled into bed and stuffed my face into the pillow.

"Aw, those pyjamas are so cute!" Blake laughed.

"Thanks but I didn't think I'd be getting company so they're not the best"

"Nah, you look beautiful" he replied whilst turning off the light.

"Thanks for letting me stay here Blake, it was really nice of you" I cried into my pillow.

"Anything for you princess"
