Safe With You

39. It's Over.

"Aly?" Rebekah asks as she opens her front door. "I thought Hunter left next week!"

Just the sound of his name makes me want cry. "He doesn't." I say flatly, not making eye contact with her. She moves out of the way so I can come in. I do as she gestures and I sit on the love seat. Rebekah sits down beside me and rubs my back as I bend over and whale into my hands. "What have I done?" I cry. "I just gave up on the only thing I had left."

"No you didn't, stay here for a while and when the tour ends you guys can work things out." She says intending to comfort me, only making it worse.

"You don't understand, its 95 dates, 7 months." She looks down at the floor, unsure of what to say.

"Oh." She mumbles. I scoff and wipe my face off trying to calm down so I don't pass out. "Well what am I supposed to say Aly?!" She asks in an annoyed voice.

"I don't know! I just need to stay here until he leaves."

"Where are you going to go after he leaves?"

I run my hands through my hair. "Back to our-" I pause and close my eyes "his place."

"What? Why?"

I don't want to hurt her feelings, so I lie. "All of my stuff is there, I'm going to get a job and when I have enough money to move out, I'm leaving. I'll be out before he gets back." She looks at me with confusion. "He wouldn't let me leave till I agreed." She nods understandingly as I stand up and grab my phone, calling Sam. Rebekah doesn't even question me and walks out of the room.

Wow, thanks for the support.

"Hello? Aly?" I hear on the other line.

"Hey, yeah its Aly." My voice is shakier than I want it to be.

"What's wrong? Wait hold on someone is at my door."

I know who it is because he always go to Sam. "Oh, never mind. I have to go."

"No, don't hang up." He says, still oblivious to what was going on. I hear his door open. "Hunter?"

"Goodbye Sam." I say ready to hang up.

"No, wait! What's going on?" He asks to the both of us.

"Aly!?" I hear Hunter shout.

"Nothing. Sam, I'm hanging up."

"Aly? Aly are you there?" Hunter asks. "Aly I know you're there please talk to me."

"Will someone please tell me whats going on?!" Sam asks again, he must've put it on speaker. I just stand there in silence.

"Aly, please," He whimpers. "you've been gone for a total of 20 minutes and I'm already losing my mind."

I shake my head as my lip quivers and gets tight. "I'm sorry. I have to go." I squeak.

"Aly wait! I-" I hang up and throw my phone on table and lay down on the couch, sobbing into the pillow.

Hunter's POV

Before I can say anything else, she hangs up. I slam his phone on the counter, and thank God it has a case on it because Sam treats that thing like its his child. "Hunter, what the hell is going on?!" I put my face in my hands with my elbows on the counter.

"I messed up man." I sob. "This tour is too much for the both of us and she finally walked." He rests his hand on my back. "It's not fair. The label-"

"The label is retarded. I can get them to change their minds, we can-"

"I've tried! They said she would be a huge distraction to me and they aren't paying for anything because this isn't 'vacation' time. I mean I get my work done at home and its not problem! Why is it different on the road?!"
