Chapter Twenty Four ~ Hell Follows

My words choked up at the sight of him and now I was gasping for air because he was standing directly in front of me. I took a deep breath and sucked the tears back into my eyes.

"Hey, Hunter." I said.

"I didn't know you were here! I was not expecting this at all." He said in a sarcastic tone.

"Hello, Mr. Carter" He waved to my dad.

My dad just waved back, pushing the anger away.

"So, what are you doing here?" I questioned.

"Oh, I moved here." He said, glaring me down.

My heart dropped at his words. Realising this being was close to where I'm now living, makes me want to jump off this pier. I moved here in hoping to get away from him but, hell always follows. Right as my life was getting so much better.

"I got transferred here for baseball and my family didn't want me in New York anymore. I'm going to Los Angeles High School now." He said

I wanted to actually jump off of this pier when he said the school name. We go to the same fucking school. Are you kidding me!? Why this!? Why now!? Why me!? I just wanted to cry. I'm going to try my best to avoid him at all costs. There is no way in hell he's gonna come back into my life. Fuck that.

"Oh cool, we go to the same school." I tried to play it off like I wasn't bothered.

"Shoots! I'll see you tomorrow than, love." He trailed 'love' just to upset me.

I pulled my dad as we waved bye to Hunter. I was basically bolting to the car at this point just to get out of here. I found my dads Jeep and hopped in the driver's seat. My dad got in the passenger's seat and looked concerned. I was about to have a panic attack and he knows it.

"I think I should drive, sweetheart." He concerned said.

"No, I'll just drive." My voice shook.

He got out, running to my side of the car and gave me that parent look of 'move before I move you.' I scooted over to the passengers side and sat down. The second we got out of that parking lot, I broke down. I just started crying as to the fact that, the person that ruined my life, followed me all the way across the country and now goes to the same school I do. It's almost like god is doing this to me on purpose. He has a plan for me and it's to absolutely fucking hate life. Just as life was becoming great and lightening up, satan himself has to come back into my life and crush every bit of happiness I have.

Luckily, I had brought my airpods with me so my dad allowed me to put them in for the car ride. I opened up my Soundcloud and put my Lil Peep playlist on almost full blast. I got to 'Star Shopping' and had a couple tears fall from my eyes. That song makes me so emotional and now that I've been broken again, I didn't care if I cried at this point. I just let it out whenever I felt a shake coming in my throat.

My dad had stopped by a convenient store to grab some things and let me stay in the car. He came back with a huge paper brown bag. He handed it to me and got in the car. He told me I could open it so I did just that. Fuck, my dad is the best. I smiled at the sight that was planted in the bag. When I'm sad, I always crave kimchi ramen noodles and Arizona iced tea and that's exactly what he got me. He also got the honey Aloe water I love and a couple of Twix bars. He got some things for himself too but it was in another bag he had set in the back seat; I was guessing. I looked at him and smiled. He knew me all to well and I loved that so much.

We got home and I instantly popped that ramen bowl in the microwave. I sat on the counter with a couple of tears welding up but I sucked them back in and hopped off the counter. I unpacked everything my dad bought me, into the fridge. At last, my ramen was done, which make me smile a little. I grabbed it and went up to my room, shutting the door behind me. I started eating then heard some shuffling down stairs. I heard talking but didn't think much of it until a light knock was placed a couple of times on my door. The person opened it and I put my ramen down on my nightstand. He came over and hugged me, making me feel safe. I cried onto his shoulder for a while and he just sat there, comforting me in my ugliest state.

"You'll be okay. If he causes problems, he's going back to hell." He growled at the thought of Hunter.
