Alrighty, lemme just preface this chapter by saying thank you guys for being so patient with this chapter. I've been getting into the school routine again and ugh, I'll never get used to it.

Anyways, enjoy this chapter, I know that last one didn't end very happily but hopefully this will make up for it ;)

+Hunter's POV+

What a fucking night.

I walked down the streets of downtown Alberta.

Other people walked past me, a few recognizing me as the CEO of Blackthorne Enterprises and tried to stop me but I continued walking.

The more people I saw around having fun and laughing, the more frustrated I became. There were couples littering the streets, celebrating the New Year and here I was, walking without any purpose like an idiot.

I stuffed my hands into my pockets and continued walking. As I reached a light and stopped, I hear loud laughs and people talking then music. I looked over across the street and saw a bar that looked slightly less full.

I definitely needed a drink.

*****

I downed another shot of vodka. I felt the liquid slide down my throat as I looked around the bar. People were dancing and the music was loud enough to vibrate the glasses on the counter.

I would have already found some girl to dance with and maybe even take back to some hotel room, but something held me back; Payton.

She was the first ever girl I've told "I love you" to and she rejected me. She couldn't even look at me in the eye.

Was I really that hideous?

I couldn't believe that I was actually pinning over a girl.

Payton.

Jamila

Payton.

Cucumber.

Jamila.

Payton.

Cucumber.

Payton.

I was going insane.

I was going crazy over some girl. Someone who just tumbled into my life and sent my whole world crashing down. What the hell was happening to me?

This wasn't like me. This wasn't like me at all.

It was different... But it felt right.

It felt right to have those feeling for her and only her. It felt right to be with her. It felt right to say those three words to her. I meant it. I meant everything I told her. I hoped she knew that.

I knew that she knew that.

She was scared, I understood that.

She needed time, I gave her that.

She needed someone to trust, I tried to be that person to her.

She needed time to be ready, I thought she was ready; she wasn't.
