{Hunter's POV}
I sounded guilty because me and Loren. Well, Loren likes me. She told me. I was so sad over the tour stop because I didn't  know if Ryley was going to be okay and Loren made it ten times worse.
What happened was, me and Loren were in a room and I guess we fell asleep in the same bed. I woke up and check my phone because it was going crazy. Loren posted a photo of me sleeping next to her and she captioned it; 
"My baby boy❤️"
All of the comments on my page were people telling me to kill myself and sticking up for Ryley saying that she deserved better and that I'm an F-boy.
It hurt.
I shook Loren awake.
"I can't believe you. Lose my number, don't ever talk to me again"
"Wait, Hunter, I'm sorry I was just trying to break you guys up okay. I love you"
She leaned in and I pulled away.
"You heard what I said" And I stormed out of the room.
I'll tell Ryley after, well, I was about to tell her until Brandon came in all frantic and told us that Jenna was here.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN" I gasped.
Ryley smiled at me.
"Hunter, she can't be that ba-" As soon as Jenna walked into the room Ryley started to breathe really heavily and wouldn't speak.

{Ryley's POV}
Memories.
Her being my old friend.
Her back stabbing me.
Her shooting me.

Everything.
I started to panic and it felt like I couldn't breath.

It felt like I was in a dark room all alone with no one there except for me and Jenna.
I think I'm having a panic attack.

{Hunter's POV}
"Get out" I ran over to Jenna and pushed her out of the room and re-locked the door.
Then I ran back over to Ryley.
"Okay Cupcake, breath. In 1..2..3..4 Out 1..2..3..4"
After repeating that several times she calmed herself down and slowed her breathing.
"Thank you Hunter. You just saved me" She was still breathing heavily but it definitely sounded like she was more comforted and safe now.
We all sat down and ate, just talking about life.
Eventually it was time for Ryley to go in for her tests so while she was gone in the room I laid down and had a quick nap on her bed.
When I woke up, Ryley was sitting up besides me running her fingers through my hair.
Which might I add, is my weakness.
I opened my eyes and was immediately greeted by Ryley's cute laugh.
"Morning sleepy head"
"Morning Gorgeous" I laughed intertwining our fingers.
I looked around the room.
Nobody.
"Where is everybody?"
"They are all gone home silly. It's 12" She laughed holding her stomach.
"Oh, well then" I laughed and hugged her.
I thought it was a quick nap. Maybe not 😂
"So, do you want to pull a texting lyrics prank on Emily" Ryley smirked.
Wow, that was random.
"Um, sure. What song and what's the plan" I chuckled.
She's a very forward girl.
"Okay so, I already texted Hailey the plan and told her I remember her. So what's going to happen is me, you, Hailey and Emily are all going to be in a group chat. I'm just going to be there and you're going to type the lyrics to the song XO by the Eden Project. Hailey's going to act like we were never a good couple and yeah. We will see how Emily reacts." I nodded.
"Okay"
So we made the chat and then it began.....

(Authors Note: Tbh, I have school tomorrow and I'm too lazy to type everything in rn so I'm going to leave it at a cliffhanger. Sorry😂😂😆)
