Life's hard, but being with you is the easiest thing for me.

:

"You still tutor him?" He asked me, looking straight into my eyes.

............................................

"HE IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND!" I told her loudly.

............................................

"I thought there was a ghost." I told him looking down still trying to search for the possibility of a ghost.

............................................

"Noah and I never got along. He was always mean to me. Sometimes he even hit me and after he went with my dad he got worse. We both went to the same middle school and he would always bully me with his friends. They called me a faggot because I used to work in a female saloon at that time."

............................................

Hunter slowly grabbed my face with both of his hands and kissed my lips softly.

And then kissed me again, just seconds longer then before.

............................................

"How's it?"

Jake asked me looking directly at me with a genuine smile on his face. His blue eyes sparking in the sunlight.

I looked up at him from my Nutella Ice Cream cup and smiled lightly. "It's really good." I told him. I tried to give him a big smile as he looked at me with admiration, but I don't think I'll be able to muster up that much energy. The past few days have been so, toxic and tiring that I just want to do something. I don't know what.

I don't know for how long. But, I want to do something to get myself in a better mood for once. So I am giving every event that I see in front of me, a chance and hoping that atleast one of it could make me feel happy from the inside.

I have been taking care of my little brother, he is the cutest little angel. I have been studying my ass off. I went into a pet store and let like eight puppies lick me and now I agreed to go with Jake for ice cream. Basically I have been doing anything to keep my mind off Hunter.

Or the kiss. Or the fact that he left without saying anything and it's been almost two weeks since we spoke or be in the same room as eachother.

But no matter what I do, he is not getting out of my mind and neither is that kiss. I am always on the verge of tears. It's like one nudge and I will cry my eyes out. I feel like I am going through a breakup. And I never had a serious boyfriend.

Hunter is the closest male friend I have. Or had? I don't know. What I do know is....

1. My stupid ass kissed him, ON THE LIPS.

2. His stupid ass kissed me back, ON THE LIPS.

3. He vanished just after he kissed me, ON THE LIPS, and since then, he is ignoring me.

I see him in school, I see him when I get back from school but we don't talk. I didn't even try. I have some self respect left sadly.

Yeah, after I kissed him knowing he made out with Jasmine -orange-legs- Sandals, in front of me, just a day later, I told him, that *sign*

That how much I love that stupid sexy yet adorable creature.

...................................................

"Thanks for that." I told jake as we were walking towards my house. My voice is deap and raspy. I barely said anything for days that I heard my own voice after two days. It was really weird listening to my cracked inputs.

"My pleasure, it felt like you are going through some hard time? If anything's wrong you can tell me." He asked me looking concern and I think he tried to touch my arm because when I looked at him he was in a really weird posture as he was just starting at his arm hanging in mid air.

One mind was telling me to blabber everything that happened with me but another mind was asking me, WHERE THE HELL IS CHELSA?

"It's fine, I was just sick. But I am getting better."

I decided to go with the latter. We were almost at the front of our house. And by now I got really anxious as to why he is being so nice to me. Chelsa would have fried if she knew, me and Jake went for ice cream.

"Is Chelsa fine with- You know me and you-"

"We broke up." I blinked. And blinked. And blinked some more.

"She was really mean to my mother and my little sister, She thought they were trying to manipulate me against her. It got real nasty Danny. I don't know, how can she even think that my eight year old sister was trying to manipulate me against her?" He signed and looked at me. I was still speechless. If it was the old Danny, I would be dancing around, throwing flower petals at him. But right now I am like 'Okay'

"Okay." I told him and put my hand on the back of his shoulder, trying to show my emotions, because at this time I don't know what I am feeling. I didn't know we were at the front of my house by now and before I could realise what was happening-

"DANNY." A very loud voice made both me and Jake turn towards it, which was coming from Hunter's house. Kyle and Hunter were standing outside the house and now both of them were looking at me. I looked at them, Kyle had a big smile on his face while Hunter looked emotionless. His eyes were fixed somewhere. It took me a moment to realize as to where he was looking at.

And finally it hit me, he was looking at me, he was looking at my hand,

He was looking at me and Jake holding hands.

Why are we holding hands?

I got so startled when Kyle shouted my name, that I just slid my hand down to Jake's palm and I don't know how and when, I got a hold of his hand.

Why are you so jumpy?

I quickly removed my hand from Jake's and stood there looking at my palms as Jake rubbed the back of his head. Suddenly both Kyle and Hunter were in front of us, and I am being lifted from the ground as Kyle hugged the life out of me.

"Hey, it feels like I never see you anymore." Kyle said as he puts me down on the ground. "I was just, Sick." "What happened." "The flu?"

Kyle lifted his eyebrows like he was confused as of why am I asking him what happened to me.

Hunter was awfully quite the whole time and now even looking at him makes me want to hide out in my room and cry. It was getting really hard standing there and talking to them while Hunter looked at me with a pained expression.

"We went for some ice cream." Huh?

"What?" I asked confused as I wasn't paying much attention.

"He was telling us you went on an ice cream date with him." The first time Hunter said something while looking at me with straight eyes.

"That was not a date." I said fast.

"Two people, alone, eating ice cream, holding hands. Seems like a date to me Daniella." He said while he tilted his head to side like he was challenging me for drop the mic.

"That was- wait, Daniella?" I furrowed my eyebrows hard at this.

"Isn't that your name?" I slid my neck back slightly and widened my eyes. Oh hell no.

The guts this guy has. I am going to rip him apart. I took a deep breath.

I looked up at him, more like glare.

"Yes, that was a date. Do you have a problem? Hunter Donnavan." I said to him as I gripped onto Jake's upper arm. Kyle and Jake were both looking at us back and forth.

Now lines of anger were visible on Hunter's forehead. If you look closely you can actually see the steam coming out of his ears.

Satisfied are we?

He looked at my hand grabbing onto Jake's arm. Surprisingly Jake hasn't tried to remove my hand from his arm either.

As Hunter was about to say something, I cut him off and asked Jake to come inside. Now in reality, I was not going to ask him that, but now Hunter has totally bugged me off. And it will be weird if we just shook hands and say goodbye after a *cough* date.

For my surprise, Jake said he would love to and we went inside my house while I gave a last glance back.

Kyle's jaw was on the ground and Hunter was red like a jalapeño

we went inside the house and closed the door. I was ready to apologize to Jake, but he cut me off before I could say anything. "I understand Danny. No need to sweat it." He is literally the sweetest guy I know, well Ethan too and Brody and Kyle too, Hunter was really sweet too.

I need help.

.....................................................................

We were outside my house as I was saying bye to Jake as he started looking nervous for some reason. "Danny, I wanted to ask you something." "Yeah, sure."

"Would you like to, you know?" I looked at him with confusion.

He rubbed the back of his neck again. "Would you like to go on a date with me?"

If you told me few months back that my ultimate crush, Jake Anderson, is going to ask me out, I would have named all my savings to you, that I have under my bed, in a very *secure* jar. I would have named our first born child on you. I would have made a nutella sanwich with my own hand and give it to you. May be a bit too much.

And now when he is standing in front me, asking me out, I don't have anything to say to him.

"I- HONKKKKKKKKKKKKK

WHY DOES EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE CUTS ME OFF?

I can not believe my eyes. Hunter in his stupid truck is right in front of us. He is looking even more mad than before. What the hell is his problem now? First he kisses me and vanishes without saying anything to me, without giving any explanation about anything. And now he is all over the place.

I just can't catch a break.

I turned over at Jake who was looking at Hunter with an angry look now.

"Jake, will it be alright if I text you? like at night?" I asked him. He diverted his attention to me. His face looked a little sad but he soon smiled at me and told me 'sure' before going to his car, he kissed me on my cheek. It was a really gentle and sweet kiss. Just as Jake leaned back I looked over at Hunter, but a real loud voice of engine and a wave of wind followed by it, told me that he already sped off to somewhere.

Something inside me rattled. I am scared of how fast he drove away. I thought about calling Hunter and give him some kind of explanation but soon the thought of What explanation should I give, arises inside of me. What am I supposed to say to him? But everything was blurred out by 'I just want him to be safe.'

Should I call him?

I shouldn't.

But he always comes for me, whenever I need him.

But he left, without saying anything.

But he is my friend

I took out my phone and dialled his number with shaky fingers. Do I even know what I am going to say?

I waited long before he picked up my phone almost on very the last ring. "What?" He said really annoyed. I knew I shouldn't have call him. He is annoyed by me and I just keep going back to him.

"I-I-" "What Danny?" He asked in a firm voice like he is pressing his lips and teeth really hard while saying so. "Drivesafe." I said fast. Without any pause. I don't even know if he understood what I said. There was a long hard pause on the other side. "I am coming back."

........................................................

So, I am looking at my screen for like five minutes now, no typing, no reading. I am just looking at the single text message I received from Jake. It feels like that I forgot how to communicate with people.

I actually never knew how to, in the first place though.

But at least I tried to reply, but now I am just not able to type anything with my fingers.

Jake😍

Hey :)

Basically because I know he will ask about the date again. And I don't know what to tell him. I know I will never go anywhere as close as a date with Hunter. Still I don't know if I am ready or not. So I did the obvious thing.

I called Des to ask her, what should I do.

She didn't pick up. What do I do now? After a long thinking minute and practically making up the entire conversation in my mind, I typed back

Hi :)

Real nice Danny. Like real smooth.

He replied within seconds.

Jake😍

Are you free tomorrow? Like wanna go somewhere?

I guess I should change those heart eyes. Like I really don't feel that whenever I look at him now. But when I look at Hunter. I feel like my insides will come out. Wonder what emoji should I put next to Hunter's name?

"No, she is not free."

I dropped my phone.

"What the--umm ummmm" I feel strong pair of hands on my lips, stopping me from screaming and getting the entire neighborhood up from their sleep, thinking a maniac is trying to murder some bunnies.

I felt the hot palm on my lips, the scent instantly told me who it was and I calmed my self down.

Hunter's grabbing my waist so I don't fall down but in reality my knees are going weaker by the second and his grasp on the other hand onto my waist is getting stronger. My back is pressed up against his hard chest that I can feel now going in and out as he breathes. Both of my hands are now positioned just above his and I tried to remove them because if I not, I might pee.

He removed his palm from my mouth and slid it down to my neck. All the way feeling my jawline.

He brought his lips close to my ears, just enough for me to feel that they are about to touch me.

"I told you, I am coming back sweetheart." He whispered slowly in my ear. My heart is beating like drums and he knows that. He knows what effect he has on me.

And if all this is a joke, it's a really really mean joke. I tightly grabbed his hand on my waist and tried to remove it, but it just made his grip tighter.

My bladder is going to burst.

"Why are you so cute?" He said as he again whispered in my ear. Okay faint. His whisper is so sexy and he smells so fresh.

I have goosebumps all over my back.

My cheeks are burning and I have no bladder control whatsoever.

Life's tough sometimes, I tell you.

What is happening? Why the hell is he doing this? Is he bipolar. Is he dying? Like what is his deal?

Suddenly I am flipped back and now I am touching a really hard wall like chest and the soft hot breath that I once was feeling at the back of my neck, was now on my lips.

Both of Hunter's hands were on my back, gripping tightly, like I was going to run away or something. Which frankly I could.

His green eyes were looking into mine. His pupil were the size of the moon and his lips are looking incredibly soft.

A sudden urge to kiss him again, ignited inside of me but it soon left, as images of last time surfaced though my brain. With those images came the wave of anger about how he left and then ignored me like a piece of shit for weeks. I started pushing away from him with my hands pressed against his chest, but we all know it was of no use at all.

The more I pushed, the more he pushed and me being tiny and him being the hulk, he pushed harder and the sentence is getting weirder.

I ended up closer to him than I was before.

"What do you want?" Now I was angry. I just wanted to do something bad to him, like stealing his socks so his shoe's soles come out. But soon I felt like millions of butterflies just laid their eggs inside my stomach.

"You."

He said.

He closed his eyes and as if asking for permission to kiss me, he brought his face closer to mine and tilted his neck while I was stunned as a stone and watched carefully his every move.

Tears started to build up in my eyes as I started getting angrier by the second.

And then I sobbed.

Poor Danny :(

Don't worry new chapter is coming in few days :)
