Where it all Started (Complete)

Chapter 32

{Ryley's POV}
Okay so turns out, I didn't wake up at all. Oops. And when I did wake up Hunter had like 4 pics of me on his Snapchat😂

By the time I woke up it was time to get off of the plane so I got my luggage and exited the plane, totally forgetting about Hunter😂😂
I went into the lobby and sat down for a min when I saw an angry Hunter running out of the plane.
"Oh my god Babe what's wrong?"
"Brandon just slapped mom. He just disrespected the only parent we have ever had. He just slapped the only person that was ever there for me"
I stood there quietly for a second until I finally found what was appropriate for me to say.
"Hunter come here" I pulled Hunter into a hug.
"R-Ryley, he just slapped the one person that has always been there for us. The tour might get canceled"
"Baby, everything is going to be okay. Just breath for a second and tell me what happened"
Hunter sighed.
"Brandon was talking about getting an iPhone 7 and mom said no. Mom grabbed his wrist and he slapped her across the face and I looked around and couldn't see you. I really needed you, and I still do"

I hugged him tighter.
"I'll always be here. Always." I kissed his cheek and then Hunter kissed my forehead.
We stood there for a little while just hugging when everyone came off of the plane. Christine had a huge handprint on her face. I went over to Hunter and whispered to him,
"I'm going to go clean mom up, you watch and take care of the boys"
He nodded and then I took Christine to the girls washroom.

When we got inside I sat her up on the sink counter and got a wet cloth with cool water on it and laid it on her cheek.
"Is it bad" Christine closed her eyes.
"Not bad enough that I can't fix" I smiled.
I got the concealer out of her purse and applied it after I was done with the cold cloth.
"And...... Done" I smiled stepping back and starting to clean up.
"Wow. Where did you learn to do that"
"Well uh, my dad used to abuse me and my mom a lot. He still dose but it's not a big deal I guess. He's drunk when it happens" I shrugged.
"Oh my gosh Ryley. Hunter has never said anything"
I glanced up at her.
"Awe Ryley, you didn't tell him?"
"Nobody knows. Please don't tell Hunter Christine, I wouldn't be able to deal with him yet."
Christine looked at me ashamed.
"Ryley, I'm sorry but I can't promise you that. If it slips out..."
"I just need you to keep it for a little bit because tomorrow mom is going to get an ultrasound and to see if everything is okay with the baby. After the results come back. I'll tell him okay?"
She smiled.
"Okay. Now we should get back and then we can go back out in-"
Christine was interrupted by Hunter storming through the door of the girls bathroom.
"Mom. You're all cleaned up"
"Yeah, Ryley cleaned me up"
I smiled.
"Thank you. Ryley saves the day again"
"You're very welcome. It was my pleasure" 
Hunter walked over to his mom and helped her down.
"I'm going to kill him I swear" Hunter sighed to me as we were walking out.
"Listen Hunter, I have to-"
I tried to tell him then and there. I tried to be honest okay. But I got all held up and nervous. I just couldn't AND Hunter didn't hear me anyways.
I hate keeping stuff from him. I just want to spill my heart out to him but he'll obviously be mad. I mean, this has been happening my whole life and I haven't even said a word to him about it.

We just continued on out to the uber who was already there. Ashton and Brandon already in the car. Brandon and Ashton were in the back back, me and Hunter were in the middle row and Christine and the uber driver were in the front. On the way to the hotel I wouldn't look up. Hunter held my hand and lifted my chin up. I put my head back down but kept our hands together.

{Hunter's POV}
I know something's up, I can tell. She's being so closed off. She's going to have to tell me at one point but I'm not going to force her. I'll ask her about it later on tonight because we are in Boston for today, tomorrow and the next day so I'd like to be on good terms with her. I hate her being upset or mad, especially at me.
