Young and in love-H.H

Chapter 20

*MAES POV*

"You have to listen to me. please." I grab her hand.
She looks at me.
"I wanted to tell you." I sigh. "I really did."
She folds her arms across her chest.

"Why didn't you just tell me?" she asks.

"I don't want it to get around. I don't want everyone freaking out. I wanted to keep it away from the public." I say.
"Are you mad at me?" I ask.

She shakes her head.

"No." she smiled. "I'm happy for you." she hugged me. "lets go back out there." she loops her arm with mine

We walk out to the food court and the guy who had been previously staring at me looks at me and smiled.

I look over and Jen raises her eyebrows.

She grabs her phone and seconds later mine vibrates

Should we tell them?

I don't know honestly. I look at her and shrug.

I honestly don't think they have to know right now.

My phone started ringing and I look down. its hunter. I smile at Jen and I exuse myself from the table and walk quite the ways away.

"Hey." I say

"Hey pretty girl." I hear the smile in his voice.

"So Jen knows." I say

"Is she mad?" he asks.

"She was. but then I explained to her and she was fine." I say

"That's good." he clears his throat. "the guys left. so I'm waiting for you to come back."
I smile.

"I'll be back soon." I say.

"Promise?"
"I promise" I smile
"I love you." I hear the smile in his voice
"I love you too." I hang up and sit back down

We walked around the mall for a little while longer. we all looped arms.
Pretty much no one could get past us because there were so many of us and we were walking side by side.
I spent about one hundred bucks on stuff I knew I didn't need but I was in the mall. so I did anyway.
An hour later I was back home. I walk in the front door and hunter jumps from the couch and hugs me.

"Hi." I smile. he smiled back at me

"How was your day?" he asks.

"Um." I start. "well it was fun. boring. interesting." I nod. "how about yours? you guys get anything done?" I ask back.

He shrugs.

"We got a bit done."

I see a look in his eyes. a look I don't see often.
An upset, hurt, guilty look.

I ignore it.

"So." I clap my hands against my thighs.
Hunter shoves his hands in his pockets and looks down at his feet as we walk into the kitchen and sit at the table.

"So theres no tention between you and Jen?" he asks.
I press my lips together and we both fold our hands in front of us. I shake my head slightly

"No." I say "well not that she is showing." I sigh. " I mean I hope not"

I go to the fridge and grab a bottle of water.

"Is something bothering you?" I ask. He looks up at me.

"What? No. Nothing."

I furrow my eyebrows.

He is silent. He's not even looking at me.

"I love you" he looked at me.

"I know." I said. He smiled at me.

There was a knock on the front door and Hunter stood up and walked into the living room.

He opened the door. I hear a short conversation and the door closed.

I walk into the living room.

"Hunter." I say. He tried walking past me and i grab his arm.
"I'm serious Hunter." I start. "What's wrong? Why are you acting like this?" I ask. He towered over me.

He looks down

"I can't." he said. I furrow my eyebrows.

"You can't what?" I ask.

"The guys stopped over." he said "we have to leave for tour."

My heart stops.

"Oh." I say
He throws his head back. I fold my arms over My chest and cross my legs and stare down at the floor.

"Mae." Hunter says. "I'm sorry."

I shake my head and start to walk away.

"What am I suppose to do?" he shouts. He followed me to the living room.
"I don't have a choice." he says. "I have a career Mae. I have to Do this."

"Whatever Hunter." I shake my head and look out the window.

"Why are you not being supportive of me?" he is still shouting.

"Hunter lower your voice." I say gritting my teeth.

"You'reacting like I'm leaving for good. Youre being selfish."

I turn around.
"How do you want me to act?" I shout at him. "I'm sorry I love you and I want you to be here with me." I say. "I'm sorry I dont want you to leave and ignore me for seven years and then show up on my doorstep begging forgivness for breaking My heart!"

"You didnt want me to show up?" he folds his arms over his chest.

"You're being way too dramatic" I shake my head.

"Why are you avoiding my question?" he asks.

"Hunter honestly, I really couldn't have chosen how you just showed up." I say.

"Okay well sorry I wanted to be with you."

"Maybe if you didn't ignore me for seven years in the first place."

Hunter turned around and walked up the stairs.

I roll my eyes and walk out the front door.

I walk down to Hunter and i's 'secret spot'. I walk all the way down to the waterfall

I sit down on the big rock and stare at the water. My phone vibrated in my pocket.

I take it out and look at the message.

Jen: stopped by today, heard fighting. Figured it wasnt a good time

I sigh and put my phone down
