That Summer (Lucaya) ✔️

Who?

Chapter 10 (Not proof-read)

Maya's POV

"Hunter?" I asked confused. 

"It's me, babydoll."  

"Why are you here?" I questioned. 

"Well Riley told me you were in LA and I couldn't miss the opportunity to visit my favorite girl," he replied. I shot Riley a glare and she smirked in response. 

"He was in town," Riley shrugged. 

"You don't miss me, princess?" he pouted. 

"I don't miss something if I didn't want it in the first place," I stated annoyed. 

"That hurts so much," he said dramatically. He attempted to put his arm around me so I tried scooting farther. Sadly, there was a wall and I couldn't move anymore. Now I know how Lucas felt. 

"Here's your food," the waiter said putting it down. I looked up and saw his eyes staring at me. Now that I noticed it he was our age. The text and Riley with Lucas had me distracted this entire time. 

"I would like it if you stopped staring at my girl," Hunter threatened. The waiter boy's eyes widened in fear and he quickly ran away. 

"She's not your girl," Lucas said through clenched teeth. 

"Riley," Hunter tsked, "You better get your boyfriend to calm down." She smiled and hugged his arm. Annoyed I chugged my root beer. Damn what I would do to make this an actual beer.

"Well," Hunter said getting up, "I have business to take care of but I will be sure to swing by sometime tonight." He winked at me and exited the diner. Lucas turned his attention to me and he looked confused. 

"I'm going to head home," I announced getting up. 

"But you haven't eaten," Riley said sweetly. 

"I'll live," I quickly said before sprinting out the door. I was silently praying Lucas didn't follow me.

He didn't.

I walked to the beach so I could try to breathe. I took off my shoes and let the warm sand touch my feet. I headed towards the shore so I could have the cold water touch my feet. 

Why did the world have to bring him back to my life?

*Flashback*

"Hey, baby," I cooed hugging Hunter from behind who was going through his locker. 

"What's up cutie," he laughed turning around and pulling me into a kiss. 

"I was hoping you would come to the party with me," I asked with puppy dog eyes. 

"How could I say no to that face," he smiled playing with my hair. 

"You can't," I replied smiling. He kissed my cheek and left with his friends. I really liked him. We were basically the same person. 

People labeled him as the "bad boy." I believed that when I first met him, but I liked him because of the adventure he put into my life. 

We did crazy things together. He was the Joker and I was his Harley Quinn. 

"Maya," Riley called. I snapped out of my daze and turned to look at her concerned face. 

"I don't understand why you are still dating him," she stated grabbing my arm and pulling me so we could walk together. 

"You don't get to tell me who to date," I spat. 

"Don't you get it," she said stopping abruptly and made me face her, "I'm trying to protect you."

"From what," I asked coldly. 

"Him that's what."

"Why don't you like him?" I asked. 

"He's turning you into something you are not," she stated. 

"How am I different?"

"Well first you never hang out with me anymore, then you started drinking way too much, you started doing illegal stuff," she whispered screamed the last part. 

"I did all of that willingly," I countered. 

"To please him," she scoffed. 

"I'm the bad girl Riley," I said, "What do you expect?"

"You stopped paying attention to art, music, your friends, and your family."

"Goodbye Riley," I said before storming off. 

*Flashback over*

Later in our relationship, I caught him cheating on me. The sad part was that it was with more than one girl. He was the one thing that reminded me of my scary past. I did a lot of bad things when we were dating. 

When I first tried to bring up the idea of breaking up with him he threatened to hurt those I loved. That's why I pushed everyone away. The sick part was that I still loved him. 

Then he did something crazy that pushed me over to the edge. He killed someone. 

He was drunk driving which caused this to happen. 

I was in the car with him. 

I was sober so I wasn't dealing with as many penalties as him. After this incident, I broke up with him and told myself to never talk to him again. 

Now he just waltzed into my life and I'm afraid of what was going to happen

AUTHORS NOTE

Ok so short update and long awaited. 

I just wanted to go into detail about Hunter and what the text said. 

What will Hunter do now that he's found Maya?

Will Riley feel guilty about what she had caused?

Also, I apologize for taking a long break because High School is a lot more stressful then it was last year. 

AND I made the Varsity Dance Team this year rather than JV which I was on last year so that has been a lot of work. 

Bye!!
