hunter's pov

I walk back down the stairs, admiring the beautiful cabin. "grayson this place is so beautiful!" maggie says as she walks over to matt and he grabs he waist, pulling her onto his lap.

"and the view is amazing, this is something I wish I could wake up to everyday." devyn says, standing at the window, admiring the beautiful scenery.

"enough admiring this place, what are the sleeping arrangements for the weekend? and if I have to share a bed with someone I'm leaving." jaydon says. "there's enough rooms for everyone, they are all different sizes though." grayson says. they all look at each other before getting up and running upstairs to pick a room.

I turn around to look at grayson. "don't worry, come on." he says, smirking as he puts his hand out for me to take it. I take his hand and he leads me down the hallway which I thought just took us to the backyard but we turn a corner and grayson opens a door, walking inside with me behind him. I look around the room, my jaw dropping at how huge this room is and well designed it is.

"oh my god." I say, walking over to the window, opening the curtains. "holy shit." I say, admiring the view. "you like it?" grayson asks. I turn around to face him. "I love it." I say, walking over to him and wrapping my arms around his torso, his arms wrapping around my neck, holding me against his chest.

"where'd you even find this place?" I ask him, my voice muffled due to my face being smooshed again this chest. "a friend told me about it, she showed me some pictures so I thought I'd rent it for all of us. and plus after all the drama with kaylee I thought we'd take a little break and come and enjoy the nature." grayson tells me.

"well thank you for bringing us here." I say, looking up at him with a smile on my face. he smiles, hugging me tighter. I dig my face into his chest again, wanting to stay in his arms forever. "you're welcome, love." he says, placing a soft kiss on the top of my head. I smile, he's so precious.

later that day.

I dry dry my hair with the white fluffy towel as I walk out of the bathroom connected to grayson and I's room. I walk over to where we left our suitcases, opening mine and digging through it for my clothes.

I grab a simple sweater I stole from graysons closet before we left and a pair of black leggings, throwing those on after drying off my body. I hear a large exhale of breath cone from behind me, I turn around to see that grayson is up now. he looks over at me, the biggest smile forming on his lips.

"what a great way to wake up, seeing my beautiful girlfriend wearing one of my sweaters." grayson says, putting his hand behind his head. I smile as I start unpacking my things and putting them in the dresser. "you have a good nap?" I ask. "yes, this bed is so comfy." he says.

after I finish unpacking my stuff I turn around and walk over to the bed, lifting the covers and getting under them. grayson immediately pulls me into his arms, rolling onto his back with me on top of him now.

I smile, looking back and forth between both his eyes, admiring them as the sun shining from the window hits them perfectly. the green color in his eyes showing more than usual.

"you're so gorgeous, I can't believe it." grayson tells me, smiling as he scans my entire face. his hands run up my thighs, going up to my waist but back down to my mid thigh, leaving them there.

I look back to his eyes as he's about to speak again but he's cut off by my phone ringing. it's a specific ringtone I set for my brother, so immediately I get off grayson, getting off the bed and rush over to where I set my phone.

before answering it I rush out to the balcony, closing the doors so grayson can't hear me. I bring the phone up to my ear, "hello? noah?" I say, feeling anxious now. there's a silence before I hear a breath followed by a short laugh, "it's so good to hear your voice h." noah says, his voice low.

"where are you?" I ask, walking over to the railing of the balcony, holding onto it. "I don't even know, some gas bar out of town?" noah says followed by a grunt. "why?!" I question.

noah sighs, "remember that money I kept aside for jessie and I's wedding?" he asks. that's the first time I heard him say her name since she passed. "yeah. we agreed to not touch that money." I say, worrying a little. "well there was about 10k in there so I took 6 out and paid dustin." he says.

"he got out?!" I question, feeling my heart drop. "yeah, about a 2 weeks ago. we agreed that if I give him the money plus another thousand extra I'd leave town and he'd leave you alone." noah says.

"noah nothing is ever just over with guys like him, what if he finds out where I'm staying? you know what he's capable of. and where the fuck do you plan on going?" when I finish there's a silence before I hear the door behind me open.

"hey is everything okay?" graysons voice makes me turn around. "yeah, I'll be right in." I tell him with a forced smile. he nods, closing the door and walking away from the windows.

"so?" I question noah. "I was thinking of going home..." he tells me. "what? and put our parents and sister in danger?" I ask. "dustin knows nothing about them and I'm not going to be staying with them." he tells me.

I sigh, "well how are you getting there?" I ask. "well I've been walking-" he starts but I don't let him finish. "send me your location, I'll come get you."
