Ariana's P.O.V:

  "Hey Hunter, please call me back as soon as you get this." Hayden and Holly sat down facing me, "So?" Hayden asks, "He's not picking up, knowing him he's either sleeping or studying."

  I watch as Holly fidgets nervously with her fingers and speaks in a low tone, "Ari I don't want to disturb him, it's okay this can wait." I know she's worried about distracting him or bothering him, but "Holls we both know that Hunter was gonna need to tell me anyway, and this is the time in which I need him to be most honest with me."

  "You're right I'm sorry for burdening you guys." I walk over and sit next to Holly giving her a friendly hug and take a worried glance at Hayden who's lost in thoughts.

What happened? Let's rewind an hour back.

  "Holly, calm down and breathe, take your time no one's rushing you but no matter what it is just know that we're here for you." I tell Holly who was staring blankly and playing with the zipper on her jacket.

"This is nothing easy to talk about.. and I don't know where to start.." She let's out a heavy sigh and furrows her eyebrows face down, with a few strands of hair falling out her messy bun.

"Well.. start from the beginning, no matter what it is Holly, your brother and I, we won't go anywhere we're here for you." She raises her head to face me and gives her best to smile.

"Okay this is how it all started.." She implies.

Holly's P.O.V.:

A year and a couple months ago..

I was recently dumped by Shane, a guy I dated for a little over a year maybe, a month before my Sweet Sixteen. It hurt. A lot. Especially considering the fact that Shane was my first boyfriend, my first kiss and my first- well yeah, I had lost my virginity to him... He was incredibly sweet and caring and not once had I thought it would get to the day where he'd get bored of me..

I had no idea why I had done it, but I had drank a few shots of vodka at this hotel party I desperately went to using my fake ID and that was when I started getting tipsy. Sasha, the only person I knew around here, went to have a talk with the Dj and left me there, standing alone in a party full of drunk teenagers and bodies tangled in with each other.

The air was getting too thick for me to handle, heavy parties were not my scenery. I gulped down another shot before walking towards the door.

That's when I saw Hunter, sitting on a bench outside, drunk mess and alone, just like me. I take a seat next to him not really sure why, if I remember correctly he was just a couple months over seventeen.

  "Hey Hunter." It takes him a while to acknowledge my presence, but when he does he looks at me with the same lonely and broken look I gave him as soon as his eyes met mine. That's when I knew he needed me here with him.

  "Hey Holly.. Rough night?" I sigh and hit him with a 'Mhmm' and a slight nod of the head. "You're drunk, why? The Holly I know would never get wasted." He speaks holding my gaze a little too long.
