Some how Hunter convinced me to stay a few nights we've been arguing for the passed hour we got interrupted but Ellie running through the door after Hunter opened it and saw me.

"Clare!" She screams.

"Ellie!" I yell and bend down to hug her.

"Use your inside voice" Hunter scolds.

"J, don't be such a meanie" she says.

"Yeah J don't be a meanie" I copy Ellie.

"What am I going to do with you Angel" he  says to me.

"Angel?" She questions.

"Ellie I'm a fighter like your brother" I say and her face falls.

"Why I don't really like that. Hunter is a fighter but I can see the pain in his eyes after he fights and says he's okay I know he's not yesterday he fought for a long time and didn't come back till morning and I didn't go to sleep till he came home because I didn't want what happened to daddy happened to you." she says to Hunter on the verge of tears.

I hug her and Hunter comes behind me and hugs both of us he squeezes us for reassurance we pull back and he kisses Ellie's head.

"Ellie it's time for your nap" Hunter sighs.

Ellie walks up the stairs but then runs back down and hugs me.

"We will have cake after you wake up" I say and she smiles.

"Oh and Angel" Ellie calls me that earns Hunter a glare he pulls me by the shoulder and puts me in his side.

"Yes Ellie" I ask.

"Please make sure my brother is okay because I've been seeing him flinch" she says and that makes my jaw drop is that why he flinch when I was in his waist now I know where.

"Okay Ellie" I say.

Ellie says bye to us and Hunter sits down on the couch.

"Come join me" he whispers seductively.

"Oh no mister we are not playing that game right now so spill" I say with a hand on my hip.

"So I got into a fight not a fight that was at the gym but I was at a different arena and there was this dude that was talking about you and was talking smack" he says with he hands in a fist.

I suck in a breath "What are you talking about" I ask confused.

"He kept saying that you killed his best friend and I don't want to talk about anymore because you have that pained look on your face" he says rubbing his head.

Travis only had 1 best friend and his name is Ryan he went to the rival named Prior Lake High School.

"Did he have a scar on his cheek" I ask going to the kitchen.

"Yeah... how do you know him" he says getting up and follows me.

"He was my brother's best friend and my best friend too but that's not important" I say.

"Oh" he says I see the anger build up in his eyes.

"Anything else to add" I ask.

"Okay! Something in me snapped and I lunged at him" he finishes by throwing his hands up in the air.

"You can just do that Hunter" I scold bending down into the cabinets to grab a cake pan.

"I know but" he says behind me.

"But what" I ask.

"You and I both know you're glad a took a punch at him" he says putting his hands on my hips.
