Hunter

Waking up to the annoying buzzing sound makes me groan as a turn over to reach for the night table to switch it off. It's Christmas Eve, my favourite time of the year. I look over at my phone and see a text message from Hannah, - Pick me up at nine.- I never thought this was going to happen but I guess he was bound to happen as we didn't always have protected sex. I head to the shower and get dressed. Going downstairs at half past eight thinking that the boys are sleeping I come across with Dean sitting on the couch.

"What are you doing up?" I ask him as I turn the coffee machine on. As he drops his phone onto the couch he looks over at me with no emotion in whatsoever.

"Ashton and brad left an hour ago and I've been up since." And then that's when I know something's up with him. I head over and grab a stool as I place into in front of him and take a seat.

"Talk to me." He is my best friend and we have been through so much together that he's my brother. Boys are known not to talk about their feelings but between each other we do because that's what friends are for, so in my opinion fuck the stereotypes.

"Have you watched the news lately?" I'm confused.

"No, what's happened?" I say as nothing pops into my head.

"He is out of Jail. For fucking good behaviour." my heart suddenly stops quicker than light. Is that even possible?

"For good behaviour my ass. Don't worry he won't find us." What the fuck are we supposed to do now? I try to keep calm to show Dean that everything will be fine. But now a fucking drug cartel leader is going to be after us. I can't believe this is happening now, I knew the day would come but he got sentenced for 15 years so I hadn't thought of this happening any time soon. The thing is that when you are a leader of a drug cartel you know a lot of people and he probably knew someone really high up so he got released with the bullshit of good behaviour.

"We will continue this conversation, but right now I have to go to pick Hannah up to take her to the clinic." He nods and just stays there with fear in his eyes. I mess up his hair up as I walk out of the kitchen without having my coffee. I get into my car and begin to drive over to Hannah's house as my mind can't stop thinking about the crazy psycho being loose around the country. There aren't many cars on the road at this time letting me arrive at Han's in under ten minutes. And there she is standing on her phone as I park in the driveway. She steps into the car as I turn off the engine.

"Hi, ready to go?" I say as I stare at her, remembering the last conversation we had at Emma's birthday party. She is certain to go through with this and I have to agree with her on this because she is the one who would be carrying the child and I ain't going to force her to bring it up if she doesn't want to.

"Do you parents know?" I ask as he hasn't answered me. He shakes her head and adds,

"I told Kevin, and he offered to take me but I told him you were taking me. He isn't very happy with me but he said that it was the right and responsible choice to make."I turn on the engine and drive to the clinic as I picture her big brother hating my guts as he always has. The journey to the clinic is very quiet as she just sits and stares out of the window fidgeting with the nails. She is only seven weeks pregnant and there isn't much of a belly so I guess it was easy for her to hide it from her family.

We arrive at the car parking of the clinic, getting out of the car and walking into the clinic reminds me of when I came to the hospital to visit Hannah after the car accident. And now here I am with her for an abortion. We walk over to the desk as Hannah gives her her details when the woman behind the reception tells us the wait in the waiting room.
As we walk in there are more people waiting for there turn to see the doctor or specialist.

"You still owe me an explanation of why you broke up with me. I think I deserve it." She says looking at me straight in the eyes as I turn to look at her.

"I already told you, I just didn't feel the same way about you as the start of our relationship."

"Was it because you fell for another girl? I bet you did. Just tell me the truth, Hunter." We already had this conversation and her bringing it up once again is killing me because I think for her pain and then Emma.

"I saw you and Emma yesterday." She says looking at the floor before I can answer her. "You kissed her." She continues as her voice cracks. I quickly shallow. She wasn't meant to find out like this.

"Han, I'm so sorry! We wanted to tell you." I say as she cuts me off. "I knew you had fallen for another girl, but I didn't expect it to be with my best friend!" I am speechless. Her eyes start to fill up with tears as she sniffs to hold back from bursting. I don't know what she wants me to say until she asks,

"Just tell me you didn't cheat on me with Emma?" And at that point, my heart hits the ground. And thanks god the doctor comes in and tells us to go into the tiny white room.
