Chance
I cover my face and Hunter starts laughing. I uncover my face to see Brandon looking at us. 

"Woah. Keep it pg-13 back there." He laughs. I sigh in relief. 

"We aren't that gross." I laugh climbing over the seat. 

"Mom wants to go to Dairy Queen." Brandon smiles. 

"Cool." I laugh. Hunter climbs over the seat and sits next to me. 

"Chance..." He says looking at me. 

"What?" I ask. He points and I look at his mom and Avery talking to each other. 

"Shit." I mumble which makes Brandon hit me on the head. 

"Watch your profanity." He laughs. 

"Sorry." I chuckle. My phone dings with a text. It was Hero (Hero is her internet best friend)

{Hero}: I'm flying out tomorrow!!

{Me}: NO WAYYYYY!!

{Hero}: Can't wait to see you and Hunter.

{Me}: Me neither.

{Hero}: I'll see you tomorrow!!

{Me}: So excited!!

I smile and Hunter reads over my shoulder. 

"She's flying out?" He smiles. 

"Yeah." I smile. 

"That's great." He smiles kissing my cheek. 

"Watch it you two." Ashton says opening the car door. I roll my eyes and giggle. When Christine gets in she starts talking about Avery, Malayna (Ma-lay-na) and Jasmine. 

"I met some of your friends Chance." She smiles. 

"Friends?" Hunter asks. 

"They aren't friends." I say as tears well up in my eyes. 

"Is everything okay?" She asks looking at me. 

"Yeah." I say trying to smile the tears away. 

"You sure?" "Yep."

*When they get back to Hunter's house*
Hunter and I run upstairs and shut the door. 

"You need to cry?" He asks. I shrug. 

"You want to cry?" I shrug again. 

"You're going to cry." He says pulling me into a hug. I nod. 

"I can't take it Hunter." I mumble. 

"Chance." He says stroking my hair. 

"I'm sorry." I mumble. 

"It's okay." He says looking down at me. I look up at him. 

"I love you Chance." 

"I love you too." I say standing on my toes to kiss him. The kiss gets interrupted by Christine walking in. 

"Woah. Clothes stay on you two," She laughs. 

"Eww mom that's gross." Hunter laughs throwing a pillow at her. 

"Yeah Christine." I laugh. She rolls her eyes. 

"What do you guys want from Dairy Queen?" 

"The usual." We both laugh. She rolls her eyes and walks back out. 

"TAKE BRANDON AND ASHTON WITH YOU!" Hunter yells. 

"YEAH YEAH." Christine yells back. 

"We're going to play x-box. In peace." He laughs. I smile and drag him into the gaming room. 

"Cuddle?" He asks laying on the couch. I grab two controllers and lay on him. 

"You're going to cheat." I laugh. 

"You know me so well." He laughs. I kick him in the shin. 

"Harsh." He laughs. I roll my eyes and we play for like 20 minutes. Brandon and Ashton come back with our ice cream. Brandon hands me mine. 

"Here you go." He smiles.

"Thanks Brando." I smile pulling him into a hug. 

"No problem." He laughs. 

"Are you playing COD without me?" He asks in a hurt tone. 

"No. Not at all." I say trying to hide my smile. 

"How dare you." He giggles messing with my hair. 

"Brandon!!" I squeal trying to avoid his hand. He giggles and does a front flip landing in his chair. 

"Look at you being a little gymnast." I laugh. He rolls his eyes. Hunter looks at me and winks. 

"What?" I laugh. 

"I don't know." He chuckles. I roll my eyes and lay my head on his shoulder. 

"You gonna eat that?" He laughs looking at my untouched ice cream. I shrug. 

"Eat it." He laughs. I shake my head. 

"I'll smash it in your face if you don't." He smiles. 

"Hunter don't you dare!!" I scream standing up. 

"You gonna eat it?" 

"If we take a walk after." I smile. He nods. 

"Good." I laugh and take the ice cream away from him. He ends up smashing his in my face. 

"HUNTER!" I squeal. 

"I love you." He laughs. 

"You're so annoying." I joke getting up and running into the bathroom. He follows me.

 "You love me." He laughs. 

"Maybe." I giggle taking a towel and throwing it at him. 

"You did this. You have to clean it." I smile. 

"If you make me clean it I'll just lick it off." He jokes. 

"No give me the towel." I say. He throws it at me. I clean my face. 

"Thanks Hunter." I laugh. 

"I love you." He laughs. 

"I love you too." I smile taking his hand and pulling him into the game room. I grab my ice cream and get my revenge. 

"Chance..." He groans. 

"You love me." I laugh. He walks back into the bathroom, me right behind him. 

"Wait!" I squeal stopping him from putting the towel on his face to clean it. I cup his face in my hands and kiss him. He pulls away and smiles. 

"How did I get so lucky?" He asks looking down at me. 

"What do you mean?" 

"I was lucky enough to have you." He smiles. 

"Cheesy." I joke. 

"Heyyyyy." He laughs. 

"I'm joking. I'm glad God gave me you." I smile. 

"Me too." He smiles kissing my forehead which turns into him putting some of the ice cream from his face onto mine. 

"This would be a cute instagram picture." I laugh. He pulls out his phone and takes a picture. He posts it with the caption, "Why eat ice cream when you can wear it :)" I laugh until the comments flood in. I go to check my phone but Hunter stops me. 

"No." He says looking in my eyes. I sigh and clean my face. Can't it just end? Can't they just leave me alone?
