Can't Say Love: A Hunter Hayes Fanfic (Completed)

Chapter 51

Keira's POV

"So how does the relationship feel?" I guess Sam wasn't was close to Hunter as I thought.

"Never mind.. It doesn't matter now anyway." I threw the ball down the isle and got a perfect strike. "Can you just drive me home?"

By the time we got back to my house, Carrie was already beyond worried. By the looks of it, Hunter had already called saying I'd left without a trace. "Do you know how sick I've been? Do you know how sick Hunter's been?! He was going insane worried about you because you haden't picked up your phone in hours!"

"Can you all just calm down? I'm fine okay?!" I was sick of them treating me like I couldn't take care of myself. Hell, I'd done it most of my life, I could sure do it now. "Just move so I can go to bed." I pushed past her bitterly and started up the stairs. 

"He knew you were going to say something like that. He wanted me to tell you something else." This took me by surprise. My feet stopped moving and I stood there motionless, like a deer knowing it's about to be shot. "He wanted me to tell you that he's sorry. That he shouldn't have told her what you were going through. That he didn't have the right to." I could feel my brain turn to water, ready to pour out my eyes in the form of tears. I was so much stronger than this. My eyes shouldn't be welling up this easily. 

"Damn right he didn't." Right now, I didn't want to do anything. I didn't want to talk. I just wanted everything to go away for a little while. Sleep. I was both mentally and physically drained. That's all I really needed. But those arms wrapped around me once more wouldn't hurt. Ever since I saw Hunter in Starbucks, my life had been nothing but drama and hurt. Maybe it would've been better if I hadn't met him at all. If I woke up one day and every breath, every tear, every moment I lived through these past months were nothing short of a nightmare that I'd wake up from shaking like a puppy lost in the rain. But I guess I knew that wouldn't happen, didn't I? Because this was real life. I had actually lived this. If I hadn't lost my memory, if I was the same person as before the accident, what would I have done? I don't know. I'm not the same person I was then. You're coming back, Dipsy. Hunter's words rang through my mind like the bells in church rang through the pews. You're coming back, Dipsy. You're coming back. Coming back.
