i shivered and looked back over at my mother and mattia. i gripped onto his arm tighter. his hand had not moved.
"mattia, something's wrong." i whispered.
hunter was glaring at me, he looked like he wasn't really here. there wasn't anything behind his eyes, no emotions.
mattia smiled at my mother, then sighed. he got up from the table, nodding at alvaro.
"me and hunter are going home. it was nice seeing you. baby, i'll probably come and pick you up tomorrow." he smiled.
fake.
"i-i thought you were gonna help me set my bed up." he sighed and ruffled my hair.
"tomorrow afternoon."
i nodded and silently pleaded that he wouldn't kill hunter.
alvaro rushed over to me as they walked out. "don't you dare drink from that cup it's drugged."
he pointed to mattia's cup, which was almost full. my eyes shot over to my boyfriend, who was halfway out of the door with a tight grip on the back of hunter's shirt.
what?
i looked back at alvaro. "wh-what's- what?" i looked back at the closed door.
"then-then we have to tell matt! what about-" alvaro slapped his hand over my mouth. "he's the one that told me!"
he paused our conversation to look at my mother, who was cleaning up.
"it's sucks that maimai wasn't here. she would've liked mattia." my mother pouted as she put dishes away.
i nodded, "didn't she go to her friends?" my mother nodded. "taylor's house."
she moved to the kitchen and we walked to the living room.
"tell me what's happening!" alvaro huffed.
"sometimes you're so fucking blind kai, hunter, likes you in this weird twisted way. he wanted to drug you to do god knows what. now mattia's taken off with him."
i looked around the room. i felt panicky. "stop that. look at me."
i took a shaky breath in.
"he's gonna be okay. we are safe."
i nodded, closing my eyes and taking a deep breath in.
"cake!" my mother screamed from the kitchen.
i smiled sadly. i'll bring mattia some tomorrow. if he's alive. what if i have to go to his funeral. could i even mention we were together? his family would be there. what if i lose him tonight. i hate hunter. how could he do this?
