Hunter

I look over at Sydney who was asleep on Brandon's shoulder.

 "Sid." I laugh shaking her. She doesn't move. 

"Sid." I say again. 

"SYDNEY!" Ashton yells. Her eyes pop open. 

"What the hell." She asks yawning. 

"We're here." I laugh. 

"LANGUAGE!" Ashton says slapping her in the face lightly. 

"Sorry." She giggles climbing out of the car. 

"Get your butt out of my face." Brandon complains. 

"Shut up." She says rolling her eyes and getting out of the car. I climb out after her, Brandon following. We walk to the beach and she set up a towel and takes off her clothes revealing her beautiful bathing suit. She lays down on her back and starts tanning. 

"Lame!" I laugh. She rolls her eyes and continues to tan as Brandon, Ashton and I go straight to the water. 

"Why is your girlfriend so lame?" Brandon asks. 

"Sid's not my girlfriend and if she wants to tan she can tan. You know until she falls asleep so I can carry her to the water." I wink. 

"She'll be asleep in like 20 minutes." Ashton laughs. I nod and we swim around for 20 minutes. When the time passes we walk quietly towards Sydney. She was sleeping like we expected. I pick her up and she stirs a little bit. I tip toe back to the water. When I get into the water her eyes pop open. 

"Hunter Bryce Rowland." She says. 

"Sorry Sid." I laugh walking deeper into the water. 

"Hunter don't!" She says. I laugh and drop her in. 

"I can't swim!!" She squeals. I freak out and pick her up out of the water. She stands up. 

"Just kidding." She laughs pushing me into the water. 

"I hate you!" I laugh, 

"Really?" She asks putting her arms around my neck. I look into her eyes. 

"No. I love you." I say not thinking. She looks at me weird. 

"Sorry. I wasn't thinking." I say looking down in shame.

 "Hunter. It's ok." She says trying to cheer me up. She kisses my cheek.

 "I love you too." She laughs. I smile. 

"Hunter stop flirting." Brandon laughs.

 "Shut up." Sydney laughs before jumping on me and wrapping her legs around my torso. 

"I'm tired." She complains. 

"You're always tired." I laugh. "True." She laughs. Ashton swims over to us. 

"Can you play with me Sydney. Please!!" Ashton whines. 

"Yeah sure." She laughs. So she runs around with Ashton for a while before my mom calls us in. 

"We're going to stop back at our house to change and then we are going to the movies." My mom says. 

"What are we going to see?" Sid asks.

 "I don't know. We might all break up. I'm taking Ashton to see Boss Baby." She says.

 "I want to see The Space Between Us." Sydney smiles.

 "I'll go with you." I smile. 

"Funny kids movie or romantic movie?" Brandon says trying to decide. 

"I'm hanging with mom." Brandon laughs winking at me and Sydney. I roll my eyes and re pack up and get in the car. Sid's phone starts ringing.

 "Aubrey?" She asks answering it. 

"Omg?!?!?! Really?.... He didn't...... OMG!! Congrats Aubrey!.... Ok. Yeah totally. Go hang out with him. Bye best friend" She says while talking on the phone. 

"What was that?" I ask. 

"Aubrey's crush asked her out." Sid smiles. 

"Cool." I laugh. 

"If only that would happen to me. Wink Wink." She laughs. 

"Soon." I laugh. She smiles.

 "I was joking. But I'm ok with soon." She smiles laying her head on my shoulder. I kiss the top of her head and she closes her eyes. 

"Don't fall asleep." I laugh tickling her. 

"Stoppp." She giggles. 

"You going to go to sleep?" I ask. 

"No." She sighs starting to pout. 

"Poor baby." I laugh. 

"I'm going live!" Brandon exclaims. 

"ok. Just don't get me in it. I look too weird." Sid says. 

"Sydney stop." I laugh. She rolls her eyes and says hi to Brandon's broadcast. Brandon broadcasts until we get home. 

"Here Sydney broadcast while I change." He laughs. 

"Ok." She smiles. I walk into my room and change I come out to see Sydney crying starring at the broadcast. 

"Sid?" I ask sitting next to her and pulling her into a hug. 

"What's wrong?" I ask taking the phone from her. 

"Hate." She say crying into my chest. I read some of the problems.

Brandonscuddles: Look she's crying. She's so pathetic

Brandonsbooty: Aww. Hunter had to save her. Their relationship makes me want to throw up. 

Brandosbaes: Y'all suck. Sydney's cool. You don't know her so stfu assholes.

"Who's Brandosbaes?" I ask her. 

"That's Aubrey and her sister." She says. 

"Y'all are pathetic. Sydney doesn't deserve hate. She's amazing." I say looking at the broadcast. Brandon walks out and immediately sits next to Sydney. 

"What happened?" He asks pulling her into a hug. 

"Your fans happened." I say handing him the phone. He reads the comments. 

"Bro that's not cool." Brandon says. 

"I'm leaving. I don't understand how you could hate on her." He says ending the broadcast.

 "I'm so sorry." Brandon says pulling her into a hug. 

"It's fine." She says wiping her tears.

 "No it's not. That was totally uncool and you don't deserve that." He says helping her stand up. She weakly smiles. Her phone blows up. I look at her confused. She looks at it and starts crying again. I take her phone from her and turn it off. 

"Hunter." She says trying to stop crying.

 "It's ok." I say pulling her into a tight hug and stroking her hair. 

"It's not though." She cries. 

"I'll be right back. I'm going to tell my mom that me and you aren't going to the movies." I tell her. 

"No. We're going." She says wiping her tears. 

"Are you sure?" I ask. She nods and we go downstairs. We pile in the car and Sydney just lays her head on my shoulder. 

"Am I always going to get hate?" She asks. I hesitate when trying to come up with an answer.
