Laura’s POVHe acted weird as he left, what happened to him, it was like he was in deep thought, and then he went blank. I kept on thinking about what he told me, I can choose not to believe him but there is something that is telling to me believe him, I saw the truth in his eyes, and the way Nelly behaved today made me question her truth a lot, she looked like she wanted to protect Hunter which was weird, why would you want to protect your abuser. I sat by the edge of my bed, different thoughts running through my mind, when I heard a knock on my door, I stood and opened it, it was mom.“Hey, I heard noises.” She said to me.“I was just on the phone.” I lied, and she hummed. “Good night mom,” I said. When I got home today, Mom had a friend over which I thought was weird because she never makes friends but anyways she had a friend over, but the woman she said was her friend acted strangely and very weird, she kept staring at me throughout, and when Mom asked me to join them for lunc
Laura’s POV“What the fuck, tell me I misheard this,” Layla said.“If this is true then fuck he just saved us from her,” Mia said.“Fuck.” Bella cursed which made all of us turn to look at her, she isn’t the type to curse.“Not the time guys.” She reminded us. We all hummed.“I know, I don’t know if I’m stupid to believe him,” I said to the girls.“Well, you said you sounded sincere and you also said the time you and Rick suggested taking Hunter to jail she went all monkey on you,” Vicky said. “I know, I believe Hunter, I know he is saying the truth,” I said to them.“Rick needs to know the truth, he is defending Nelly way too much,” Mia said.“I know but he won’t just listen, this morning he showed up at my house to pick me up but then he got all mad that I was with Hunter, we tried to explain but he didn’t even listen to a fucking word,” I said.“That’s going to be a problem,” Mia said.“I know, I very well know Rick, he is very stubborn and I won’t let someone like Nelly manipulat
Laura’s POV We got ten minutes before time just in case mom decides to go before time just so that we don’t miss anything, Vicky was a bit dramatic about all this, we went too far with the spy thing, she made us wear black clothes so that we would look like spies in the movies. We looked amazing.“It’s almost time,” Mia said.“I’m sleepy.” Bella yawned, God this girl feels sleepy all the time, there is a reason she is not a party person, she is always at home because she fucking loves to sleep. “Not the time Bella, you can sleep after we are done with this,” I said to her. I glanced around waiting to see any sign of Mom, I glanced at my phone it was midnight. “Do you think she will be here?.” Layla asked.“It’s just been one minute past midnight, calm the fuck down,” I said to her.“Jeez, calm with the fucking attitude Laura.” She said, which made me laugh. This was our usual thing, I remember when I first met her at the party, she thought I was rude and was all like I should c
Rick’s POV I sat on my couch, I have no idea what to do. I know Laura isn’t stupid, if she is talking to Hunter then there must be a good reason for that but I’m been so fucking stupid when I saw Hunter in her living room I wasn’t expecting it, I was very pissed off all I could think about it every fucking bad thing he as ever done to us and that made me made I didn’t even realize I hit him, and when Laura came to my house, I hurt her feelings by choosing to believe fucking Nelly over her.When Nelly came over today telling me Hunter hit her, I instantly believed, I mean why won’t I, I have seen him do it before, and I won’t be surprised if he did it again, and then Laura came over saying Hunter didn’t do any of that. He has been with her, I’m unable to comprehend what is happening, I know Laura won’t lie about something like that if Hunter was with her who hit Nelly, why did she come to me and lie? I just need time to think, after she left Nelly started convincing me about how mani
44Laura’s POV I can’t believe she is meeting up with him, what the fuck? After every fucking thing he has done to us, after leaving us stranded to feed ourselves, and now she is back with him, she is having secret meetings with me, she is giving him money.I didn’t expect to see Dad, I hoped it was an unknown man, whom I know no knowledge of but fuck it was Dad, he looked so fucking same it was like he has never changed, he looked like the way he did when he left us, I know he will tell mom he saw me at the hotel. I’m no longer hiding, I want mom to tell me what she is doing with him, why didn’t she tell me anything, the least she could do was inform me he was back, those strange people coming into the house I just hope Dad is not the reason for that, mom didn’t look like she was friends with them, was it blackmail I asked myself.“Hey, you need to calm down.” A voice said taking me out of my thoughts, I raised my eyes to be met by Mia, I have been crying since I woke up, I cried m
Hunter’s POVI was at home when I felt a sharp pain in my chest, I was feeling uneasy.“Mate,” Ryder said. Something is wrong, I feel like she is in pain. I didn’t think twice, I took out my keys and drove to her house. I didn’t bother knocking on the front door, I went ahead and climbed up to her room.She sat on the floor, her head against her knees when she heard footsteps she looked up, and her puffy eyes met mine, and she looked like she has been crying for a while.Fuck, what happened to her? “Hey. Are you alright?.” I asked, she didn’t say a word, I sat next to her and wrapped my hands around her pushing her face against my chest. “Shush, it’s fine,” I said. I rubbed her back as she sobbed on my chest, I hated seeing her like this, I hated the fact she was crying. “Who made our mate cry?.” Ryder asked.“I will find out,” I said to him. I need to focus on her, I made small circles on her back, and when I didn’t hear any more cries, I knew she was asleep, I carried her off
Laura’s POV We just got to Vicky’s house, Hunter has been nothing but helpful, it was really nice of him to be here with me, I would have been depressed throughout but he helped me through the day and I’m glad he came.“You want me to stay outside.” He asked.“Of course not, Vicky won’t mind you coming in,” I said to him.I pressed the buzzer and after a minute she opened the door, she quickly hugged me.“I was so worried about you,” I said. “I’m fine, I promise,” I said to her.I don’t think she noticed Hunter behind me, if not I know her she would fucking start giving me google eyes and start smiling like a fool. “Come in.” She said to me. I turned around and held Hunter’s hand.“Out,” Vicky commented.So fucking predictable. I shook my head and smiled. Vicky invited us in and offered us snacks, I didn’t intend on staying for a while because I still had that conversation with my parents, and I just want to do it and get it over it, I planned on asking them son questions and this
Hunter’s POVI couldn’t think of a better way to have my mate with me except for her to stay with me, I didn’t really think the conversation with her parents will end this way, I thought maybe just fucking maybe they would feel some sort of remorse and they will apologize for being shitty parents but they didn’t instead they wanted to destroy her life. Laura has a life here, she has friends, she has many people that care about her and her father wants her to throw that away so that she can move them to New Jersey, he hasn’t even been in her life for four fucking years, didn’t call her, didn’t even bother to send a fucking text just to ask her how she is doing and yet he thinks he has some sort of rights over her. I’m glad she didn’t go with me, I don’t know what I would have done if she left. I won’t even have allowed her to leave.I sent a quick text to Lucas, I don’t want them to be too surprised to see her with me and I know she won’t be comfortable staying in the house with so ma
