*HUNTERS POV*

"Hunter! Hunter!"

I groan and roll over and look at Steve who is hovered over me yelling my name in my face.
Rubbing my eyes, I look around and I am laying on the couch in the bus.

"Yeah?"

"Wake up."

"I'm up."
I say tiredly. I look at the time, 12:15. Decent time to wake up.

The rest of the band walks in and sit down. Matt had an evil smirk plastered on his face. I roll my eyes.

"Yeah I know. You seen everything."

"What??" Matt questions.

They all raise their eyebrows and look at me in confusion.

"Oh....never mind...." I say.

"Hunter what are you talking about?"

"Nothing....it was just a dream." I say.

"What about?"

"None of your business. That's what."

"Well...someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed."

I laugh and get up to get coffee.

"Hey don't forget our show tonight."

"Steve. Come on, when have I ever forgotten a show?"

"Well...."

"Don't answer that."

I sit back down and think.

*SEPTEMBER 17 2007*

*Maes p.o.v*

"Hunter. Come on let's just go."

I grab hunters hand and try to drag him away from the problem.

I pull him away and stop walking.

"Mae, do you want to live the rest of your life letting people push you around?"

I fold my arms over my chest, hunter looks back at the group of girls looking over at me snickering. The 'popular' crowd. Everything's always so nice between me and them.
I look down and shuffle my feet across the ground.

"Because whether you do or not, I won't let It happen."

"Hunter stop. Your way to over protective." He grabbed my hand.
"Nothing they say or do can hurt me."

The last bell rang for school and hunter held my hand and led me out the wide double doors.

I get in the passenger side of hunters car and he drove off.

"So what's the plans now?"

"It's a surprise."
Hunter said with a little smirk and giggle. I roll my eyes and run my go fees through my hair.

"Oh my god your going to kill me with your surprises."

He laughed.

"I'm totally kidding. Nothing totally exciting."
He said. I reached over and punched him in the arm.
"Ow!"

"Your a jerk hunter." He laughed and pulled into his driveway.
"Let's just chill at my house if that's alright with you." He smiled.

"Of course it is."

He drove to my house.

"Your parents gone?"

"Yeah probably."

They are never home. I practically raise myself.

We got out of hunters car and we went inside and upstairs to my room.

"So where'd your parents go?"

I shrug.

"I don't know. Probably to a bar or club or something." I scoff. Hunter frowned.

"I'm sorry." He said. I shook my head

"Don't worry about it. I'd rather that, than having my dad be here and yell at me."

Hunter sat down next to me on the window bed.

*HUNTERS POV*

I felt bad. I honestly did. No one should have to live like that. I put my hand on her knee and she leaned her head into my chest.

"Your my family though. So it's all good." She said playing with her hair. It was quiet for a minute.
"But I guess sometimes you just get what you get. It's not like we can control it"

I sigh.

She stood up and took my hand, and she walked outside of her house.

She sat down on the porch and I did to.

Her dads rusted old truck pulled up in front of her house. She stood up.

Her dad got out of the car and slammed it shut, and stomped around the side.

She looked at me and I stood up with her as he walked towards the house.

He opened the front door, looked at me and walked in the house.

"Get in the house, Mae."
He muffles behind the cigarette in his mouth.

"Hold on." She said.

"I said now, you best listen to me." She looked down.

"I'll call you later." She said. I grabbed her and took her in my arms and hugged her.

"Mae! Get in the house!" He said sounding a little mad.

"I'm comin!" She yelled back. She kissed me and walked in the house.

I heard her dad scream at her all the way out here. I shook my head, sighed and got in my car and drove off.
