Chapter 25 - Life Stories

This cool cover was made for me by Voldemort321! As always if you want to make me anything PM me. :)

Before starting, he gets up and walks towards his fridge, looking into it. When he turns back to me, he has a satisfied smile on his face.

"I have beer, would you like one?" He asks.

"Sure." I reply. He walks back to the couch and sits down next to me, passing one of the now open, cold beers to me. I thank him. A trickle of condensation runs down the neck of the bottle, so I wipe it away with my finger, looking over at Hunter.

"Well, I'll start simple. My full name is Hunter Link Slade, and I am 22 years old, my birthday is the 4th of August. I'm 6'2". I have a younger half sister and brother, who are twins, and I love them both. My mother died when I was 8. My dad was the one to push me towards being a cop, but I chose it in the end so I could feel like I was protecting Jaxon and Emily, my brother and sister. I don't have a favorite color. The things I love in life are pizza, laughing 'til your sides hurt, and you." I am just taking a sip of the beer when he says the last thing. I cough into the bottle, my eyes watering as the beer goes down the wrong way. However, I don't comment on it, waiting to see if he says anything. He does.

"Everything I said just then was true, and everything I say after this to you, will be true also. The photo was taken a couple of days ago, when we had a date." I pull the bottle away from my lips, and put it down on the table. I lean my elbow on the back of the couch and rest my head on my hand, staring at him.

"My full name is Scarlett Olivia Hades. I am 18 years old, and my birthday is on the 23rd of April. I'm 5'7". I have no siblings, but I used to class Adrian and Kyle as them. I don't know where my mom is, all I know is that she was once a human and her name is Candice. I don't know if she is still 'alive' or if she's dead. I guess you could say my Dad pushed me towards my job, but it's my birthright. My favorite color is blood red. The things that I love in life are blood, my dog Tybalt, and..." I trail off not knowing how to finish the sentence. What do I say? I don't want to lead him on.

"It's OK; you don't have to say it back. I understand. You still have feelings for Reid."

"It's not that I don't want to say it." I let him know, taking my head of my hand. He gives me a sympathetic smile.

"I know." He assures me.

I pick the bottle back up and take another sip.

"How did your mom die?" I ask. He clears his throat, as he scratches his head.

"Um, she was hit by a drunk driver."

"I'm sorry." I say taking his hand between mine.

"It's OK, it happened a long time ago." He responds looking away. I quickly think of a topic change.

"How old are your brother and sister?"

"9." He replies with a slight smile. I smile along with him, when I see how much he cares about his siblings. Hunter looks down to his hand which is still in both of mine.

"Sorry." I tell him, pulling my hands back. He reaches for my hand, and begins to trace a shape on the back of it. I focus on his movements, and realise he is drawing hearts.

"Don't apologise." He commands, changing his pattern.

*^*^*

After about an hour, I know pretty much everything about Hunter. He's just finishing a story about Leo and Jake at the police academy.

"...After they stopped struggling, the drill sergeant of course had to stop the exercise, so that Leo and Jake could go to the doctor's office whom were now stuck together, and not looking like they would be able to be separated." I let out another loud laugh, leaning on Hunter, who is looking at me with a smile. I wipe the tears away from under my eyes, still laughing slightly.

I hear footsteps coming down the corridor before stopping outside Hunter's door. A key goes into the lock before the door is opened. I stop my laughter abruptly.

"Hunter? Babe, you home?" A woman, with black, curly hair says as she walks into the apartment. She freezes when she sees me and Hunter sitting on the couch. Her blue eyes move from me to Hunter.

"Who the fucking hell are you?!" She exclaims angrily. I move back from Hunter who leaps up.

"Michaela..." He trails off. She shakes her head, before turning on her heel and leaving the apartment. Hunter looks from me to the open door. He groans and runs after his fiancée. I move backwards on the couch. I pause however, when I start to hear shouting. I grin. I never pass up on listening to other people's conversations; I even sometimes give my own opinions, sometimes out loud. I unfurl my legs from under myself and sneak towards the door.

Here you go my little devils!

Hope you liked it!

I don't know if any of you will be interested, but you can find me on Spotify (cc_thewriter), you can now hear what I listen to while I write, if you want. Eventually, I may put together a playlist for each story.

The next part will be going up on Radish tonight! Chapter 26 is now free, and Chapter 27 will become free in 5 hours.

Also my new book is now up on Radish, and the first part will be up on here on Wednesday, if you're interested. :)
