It had been a month since I had gotten out of the hospital. Hunter hasn't really left my side either and it was starting to irritate me. He would drive me home everyday and come and pick me up everyday for school and work. I was thankful for weekends because Hunter usually left me alone. But this Saturday my silence was broken when someone knocked on my front door. I opened it to see Tristan leaning against the door frame. "Well hi Caroline." He said an evil grin coming across his face. I swollowed hard and tried to close the door. He stuck his foot in the door. He pushed the door open and I fell on the floor. I quickly got up and grabbed my phone and ran to the bathroom, locking the door. "Baby why are you hiding from me?" I unlocked my phone and texted Hunter. 'help Tristan is in my apartment!'
Tristan banged on the door again. "Let me in or I will break down this door."
'are you ok? did he touch you?'
'I'm in the bathroom. no.'
'I'm on my way' It took almost 10 minutes for Hunter to arrive.
"Baby please open the door, I'm not going to hurt you." Tristan said. After he said that, I heard my front door burst open.
"Who the hell are you?" Tristan asked. "Why are you in my girlfriend's apartment?"
I didn't hear Hunter answer, all I heard was a fist connect with flesh. There was a loud crack and then another and another, and then a very loud thud. It sounded like something hard hit the floor.
"Caroline? Open the door please?" Hunter asked.
I slowly opened the door just enough to see Tristan on the floor. I opened the door all the way, stepped out of the bathroom and hugged Hunter. "Hey Caroline it's ok I'm here. I've got you. We should probably call the police now." He said pushing me away. I shook my head not wanting him to let go of me. "Alright I won't let go." He pulled out his phone and called the police. He told them the location, what had happened, and what Tristan had done to me a month ago. The police showed up and arrested Tristan.
Hunter stayed by my side all night. I pretended to be asleep so Hunter would fall asleep, I actually didn't sleep at all that night. In the morning I was awake before Hunter, so I made some breakfast. Hunter opened his eyes when I put the bacon in the microwave. He rubbed his eyes in the most adorable way, "morning." He said with a smile. I grabbed my notebook and wrote, 'I made breakfast :)' really big.
"I can smell it, well mostly the bacon." He laughed.
I finished plating the food and brought it to Hunter and sat down next to him. We ate in silence then Hunter, obviously, broke it. "When am I going to hear you talk?" I looked for my notebook. Hunter somehow knew what I was doing and said, "I think you left it in the kitchen." I groaned and stood up, walking to the kitchen. I came back and sat down. 'probably never. I don't think I know how to speak anymore...'
"ok well do you think you could sing?" I looked at him confused. He pulled out his phone and turned on some music. He started singing. "I'm gonna pick up the pieces and build a lego house. if things go wrong we can knock it down." He smiled at me but all I could do was stare at him, he sounded just like Ed Sheeran. He kept singing along and it was beautiful. It was coming close to the end of the song and I really wanted to sing, so I did. "I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind I'll do it all for you in time And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now I'm out of touch, I'm out of love I'll pick you up when you're getting down And out of all these things I've done I will love you better now." The song ended and Hunter was staring at me, with his mouth open.
