Not From Around Here- A Hunter Hayes fanfic

Chapter 7- "Little Crush"

***Hi guys! Here is chapter 7, hope you like it! :)***

Melody's POV- 4 days later

      It's been four days, and Sam hasn't texted or called me yet. I guess I should've seen it coming, he just wanted my number to say he had it. Not that I'm upset or anything, this has happened before. I meet a guy, give them my number, and they never call. I've figured out a little theory for that. If they don't contact me within a week, I delete their number. Most of the numbers I receive end up getting deleted, anyway.

     Sitting on my couch, I turn on my TV. "Cooking, drama, vampire, Hunter Hayes, dance, wait- Hunter?" I say to myself, flipping through the channels. I hesitate to flip back to that channel. "Nope. Not gonna do it." I tell myself, going to another channel. Curiosity was tempting me, and my luck, it got the best of me. "I'm gonna regret this." I say, going back to Hunter's channel. He pops up onto my screen, singing on a stage somewhere. Girls were in the first few rows of seats, screaming and crying for him. I roll my eyes. "How could someone cry over a person they don't know? Stupid teenagers." I say to myself, watching him.

        I'm not going to lie, he is pretty good live. But I told myself no contact with him while I'm in Nashville. Besides, he doesn't even have my number, so even if he wanted to talk to me, he couldn't. Switching the TV off, I walk into my room and pick up one of my new books that I got when I met Sam. Opening it, I flop down on my bed and start reading it.

Sam's POV

      I sit on the couch on the tour bus, my phone beside me. Hunter, the band, and I are currently on tour for the 'We're Not Invisible' tour, and we won't have a break for another three weeks. When I met Melody a few days ago, it was the last day of our break. After she left, I mentally kicked myself for saying that I wanted to meet with her again, because I forgot that if I did meet her again, I would have to wait three weeks, and she probably thinks I stood her up because I haven't called her since that day in the book store.

      I anxiously tap my foot, debating whether or not to call her. Just then, Matt walked in, stopping in front of me. "Got ants in your pants, Sammy?" he asks, smirking. "No." I reply, certain that I sounded more confident saying that in my head. "Uh huh. Sure. Who is she?" he asked, sitting next to me. See, unfortunately, I'm practically an open book, meaning that the other guys can tell when I've got a girl on my mind. As much as I try to deny it, we all know that I'm not telling the truth.

     "No one." I answer, not wanting to have this conversation. "Aw, come on, man! Who's the girl?" he begs again, right as Hunter walked in. "Who's girl?" he asked, sitting across from Matt and I. "Sam here has a little crush, I think." he said, playfully shoving my shoulder. "Sam has a crush? Matt, he's growing up so fast!" he joked, chuckling. I rolled my eyes. "Hunter, I'm older than you." I say, shifting in my seat.

       "I know, I'm just messin' with ya. Seriously though, who's your little lady?" he asked, leaning forward in his seat. "Look, she's no one, okay? Just let me do this on my own!" I exclaim, getting up. I walk over to my bunk, but Hunter stopped me. "Hey, we're sorry, Sam. We were just playing with you, we never meant to make you mad." he said, his tone serious. One thing about Hunter, is that he knows when to joke and when to be serious. I shrug him away from me, climbing into my bunk. "It's fine."

     I have no idea what to do about Melody, because the more I think of her, the more I find myself falling for her. She clearly needed some work on her attitude, no doubt about that, but if you look past that, she's not so bad. I just wish we didn't have three more weeks before our next break, because I have a feeling she won't be very accepting of wanting to see her after three weeks of not hearing from me. Oh, who am I kidding! She probably doesn't even remember me! But even then, I still can't stop thinking about her. If she would just change her attitude, maybe then we could really be something, but I think we all know that's not happening any time soon.
