Coffee & Country (Hunter Hayes Fanfic)

15- Cheating Love

*Hunter's POV*

The weather in sunny South Carolina was amazing. We all were outside behind the theatre throwing around a frisbee before sound check. Then I'd head to CHE and then show time!

I tossed the frisbee down to Matt, who jumped up and caught it. I clapped my hands. "Nice catch!"

He bowed and chucked it towards Devo, who threw to Steve.

The bus door popped open. "Hey, Hunter, it's Ally." Ainsley said.

I ran over and grabbed the phone from her hand. "Thanks!" I said as I brought it up to my ear. "Whaddup?"

"Hey, that's my line!" Her laughed filled my ears.

"And I just stole it from you. What's up?" I leant against the bus, watching the guys shoot the frisbee at each other.

"Well, I'm walking to the store to pick up a few things and I wanted someone to talk to. You aren't busy, are you?" Ally asked.

"No, I'm not busy."

"Ok, good. That would have been really embarrassing." In my head, I could picture her cheeks flushing with color even without doing anything embarrassing. "Anyways, here's a generic question, how's the weather?"

I let out a little laugh. "Very generic, and it's gorgeous out! And you're walking outside, which means its gorgeous there."

"Very pretty today! My parents are definitely outside today. I don't want it to get cold though." She pouted.

"Neither do I, I want summer back." I added.

"Exactly!"

A sound came from the phone, sounding as though someone had bumped the speaker on her phone, which was followed by a small grunt.

"I am so sor- oh my god." Ally gasped.

"Ally? Hey, what happened?" I said urgently.

"I-I-I'll call you back."

The line went down.

*Ally's POV*

In the midst of talking to Hunter, I didn't pay attention to my surroundings and bumped smack into someone while they were standing outside a small Italian restaurant.

I looked up towards the man, automatically beginning my apology. "I am so sor- oh my god." I took a step back from the man in front of me.

"Ally? Hey, what happened?" Hunter said into my ear.

I quickly told him I'd call him back, and before he could protest, I hung up and put the phone in my pocket.

The man approached me slowly. "Hey Ally, how's it going?"

"Brady..." I crossed my arms. "It's going good. How are you?" I said coldly.

"I'm doing good. You look great."

I stared motionlessly at the man that I used to know so well. He seemed relatively unchanged since I had last seen him all those months ago. This was so awkward, considering our last time together was spent with him snogging some other girl and then slapping me to the ground. I didn't want to ever see him again, I don't want to see him now, but I gotta stand my ground.

"Oh, Ally!" I looked back to him. He had his head turned towards the restaurant as a girl came out. "I want you to meet my fiancée," he outstretched his hand to the girl who took it and faced me with a smile.

I felt like someone had just punched me in the gut. The girl was Heather... HEATHER.

"Heather, baby, this is my old friend, Ally. Ally, this is Heather, we've been dating for about nine months, and we just got engaged today."
