- aubree's point of view -

The grocery store trip went by in a flash, I never really payed attention to what they were buying, my mind was else where.

Now, we are back at hunter's place, watching the movie. Honestly, I'm not in the mood to do so anymore.

My mind keeps wandering to Sean, and those stupid comments. I know it shouldn't get to me but the words keep reading over and over again in my head.

'that thing'

I'm a thing? I thought I was a human. Not an object.

"Bree?" Hunter's breath whispers against my ear, causing goosebumps to send throughout my body.

"Yeah?" I question, not taking my eyes off of the movie that I'm not paying attention to.

"Are you okay?" He asks. Does he know about these comments? What does he mean? Do my facial expressions give off to much?

"Oh um yeah, I'm fine" I lie. It kills me to lie to him, but he wouldn't understand.

Or maybe he would....

No. Leave it alone aubree.

"Aubree" His voice goes soft as he speaks. He must know I'm lying. My wall is vulnerable, I can tell.

Sean broke that wall.

I sigh with no response. Hunter slithers his arm around my shoulder. I don't stop him.

He pulls me closer to him and I rest my head into the crook of his neck as the movie continues.

I smile slightly. I'm not going to let Sean ruin my life, nor those haters.

They don't deserve my attention. For now, I want to focus on my friends I have now.

Okay, okay, more or less just hunter.

I feel something between us, something I can't explain. Every time I look at him I feel like he can see right through me, there's some type of connection between us.

Now weather or not it means something, I'm not sure.

A/N: short chapter I know. I wasn't intending on writing so little but I feel like I owe it to you guys to at least post a bit. I don't know anymore, I haven't felt motivated to write the past few weeks.... I just have no time. Trying to keep my grades in school up and trying to write a book is difficult to do all at once. Not gonna lie, I miss writing; a lot. And I assure you that I will start writing more. Thanks for all of your support and understanding, ily 💗

p.s : happy valentine's day 🥀
