Running Away & Hiding With You [37]

Amy.

Hunter and I were alone on his bus with the driver since there was another party tonight, we managed to make ourselves food and watched She's the Man since it wasnt just a boy or girl movie.

"i'm tired" i said softly

"do you wanna sleep here or in my bunk?" he asked "i can carry you if you dont wanna get up"

"...do you wanna carry me?" i asked laughing a little

"okay" he smiled and sat up and held me in his arms and picked me up

"wait... do you need to get changed?" he asked

"oh yeah" i said and yawned "i'll walk

"no, i like carrying you" he smiled and carried me to my bags and gently put me down and i picked up some stuff and went to the bathroom and came back out and he picked me up again and i laughed "its right there, i can walk Hunter!"

he put me in the bunk and climbed in and i just laughed "my bunk is more comfy"

"sorry" he said and laid his side and put his arm around me

"comfy now?" he asked and i nodded wearily

he stroked my back until i fell asleep.

-the next night.

Hunter.

 "hey Hunter, Bitch is on the phone for you" Uncle Bert said and he handed me his phone

"hello?" i said

"hey, its mom" she said and i laughed "hi mom"

"so how are things going over there? Bert been looking after you?" she asked

"yes mom" i said

"so what exactly have you been doing there?" she asked

"nothing really" i said

"hmm. theres something you're not telling me" she said

"i made some friends?" i said

"one of them being a girl named Amy?" she asked

"who told you?!" i demanded

"Bert, he is my brother after all. tell me about her!" she said happily

"i really like her..." i said going shy "she's so pretty and sweet..."

"aww, will i get to meet her when i come by tomorrow?" she asked

"what?!" i said

"im coming to check up on you" she said "and meet Amy"

"but.. no, you cant" i said

"why not." she asked

"well... i dont know. you're embarassing!" i said and she sighed "good."

"mommy please dont come and ruin my life..." i frowned and she laughed "you have alot to learn boy. i wont embarass you i just wanna see how you're doing. i did give birth to you, you know"

"i know" i said

"i'm excited now" she laughed "i get to meet your little girlfriend"

i went a little red now "bye mom" i said and hung up and walked away

the next day mom came and Bert ran away, she hugged me tight and looked at the bus being half trashed

"i dont wanna go any deeper than this end" she said and i smiled

"okay show me Amy! right now" she said happily taking me off the bus

"but what if she isnt ready? she might be asleep" i said

"she wont mind if i say hello" she said and we got on her bus and Chris smiled at me and i waved a little and saw Alice and Gerard talking and they both looked up

"hey Hunter, is this your sister?" Alice asked

"no thats my mom" i said and mom smiled "hello"

"oh... shit my bad Hunters mom" Alice said and got up and shook her hand and showed her around and i sat with Gerard

"why is she here?" Gerard whispered

"she wanted to meet Amy" i whispered back

"serious? wow... hate to be you" he said

"i know" i frowned and i heard abit of a squeal from mom

"i think she found her" Gerard said getting up

"you are so so adorable!"i heard mom say and then she came out holding Amys hand who was wearing a light pink dress and curled her hair today and she smiled at me

mom was walking to Alice and Amy managed to sneak away and i got off my seat and held her hand

"sorry, i only found out last night" i said quietly and we walked off the bus 

i wondered why Amy never made the first move with me, fair enough that she was a girl, but i felt like she wasnt feeling the same sometimes.

we went inside the arena where the band was playing tonight and i saw a blonde girl listening to her ipod that looked awfully familiar

"Macie?" i said and she looked up with her blue eyes and smiled "hey Hunter"

"what are you doing here?" i asked walking upto her

"my mom brought he down, shes doing something here... who's this?" she smiled at Amy

"that's Amy, my girlfriend" i said squeesing her hand and she smiled awkwardly

"this is Macie, she's from back home" i said smiling at her

i had a massive crush on her. but she found someone else... Randy. what kind of name is that? Dandy Randy. total loser.

Macie got a phone called and politely walked away and started talking and i couldnt stop staring at her. she was soo hot.

"um.. im gonna go" Amy said

"what? why?" i asked

"nothing that concerns you" she smiled a little "you look like you have some catching up to do"

"no, i wanna go with you" i said

"okay" she said and we were about to walk back

"Hunter!" Macie called out and i turned around and she told me to walk over to her, so i did

"my mom wants to know if you're coming home with your mom later for dinner" she smiled

"oh... no im staying here" i said

"you're not coming back?.. ever?" she asked

"well i will, but i wanna be with Amy" i said

"what if things dont work out.. then what?" she asked

"then ill go home" i said

"then would i have a shot?" she asked

"well... i guess" i said

"okay...i'll be waiting" she nodded and smiled and gently kissed my lips but it took me a long time to notice what was going on and i stepped back "woah, why'd you do that?"

"why do you think?" she asked

"you could have just said you liked me" i said

"i always liked you... i tried to make you jealous with Randy but all you did was run off to... this" she said pointing to the open area of seats

"i'm happy now" i said

Frank.

Amy came onto the bus and i smiled "hey sweetie, Hunters mom went onto the other bus"

but all she did was walk off into her bunk. i went in and saw her crying and frowned and sat down and hugged her

"what's wrong?" i asked

"everything" she sniffed

"start from the start" i said

she explained the girl Hunter was talking to and apparently asked him out, but he said no, so that was okay. but then she explained this Macy girl from his hometown who was suddenly around and he acted like he was her slave and she also explained the way that he was looking at her, that broke her heart.

"Amy" i said and she looked at me

"is he worth all of this? all that he is doing to you?" i asked

"i dont know" she said quietly "i know he likes me, but its just when he's around other girls... i get so jealous"

"maybe he isn't ready for a relationship?" i said

she started crying again and i rubbed her back. she didn't want everything to end, and i did see how happy he made her.

Bob.

i heard yelling and decided to go check it out. Hunter was yelling with some girl

"you have GOT to be the most oblivious boy in THE entire world!" the girl yelled and he walked off

"dont you DARE walk off on me" she said chasing after him

i grabbed hold of the girl and he ran

"let go of me!" she squealed

"SHUT THE HELL UP!" i yelled and surprisingly, she did

Amy.

i took a deep breath and stood up and got off the bus and caught Hunter while he was running

"wait, wait" i said and he sighed "oh it's just you"

"i have to say something" i said

"okay" he said breathing heavily

"we're two little kids thinking that we can fall in love this easily, but we cant" i said "i dont wanna spend months crying over the most stupidest things because im so young and i just cant take it. i just wanna be a kid"

tears started falling out of my eyes as i looked at him and pulled the ring off my finger

"we can't be together."

i put it in his hand, gave him one last look and turned around and walked back onto the bus

Hunter.

i went back onto my bus wondering if that really happened. i could remember everything perfectly.

"hey chickenbutt" Bert said and i saw mom

"why the sad face?" mom asked

"leave me alone" i said in a shaky voice and went into my bunk and started crying

Jeph and Quinn opened the curtain and wanted some answers, sensatively. when i was ready, i told them everything. every word. they both frownedm and hugged me and mom came by and was told everything aswell.

"Hunter" she said putting hher hand on my shoulder "there's more girls out there... nicer girls."

i shrugged. she was perfect.

"but the real question is... do you wanna come back home?"

Amy.

three days later and i was still feeling miserable, seeing all the couples on the bus, happy. i went to my bunk and wrote into my journal.

"dear diary.

i thought i was stronger, but i guess i'm not. it's been 3 bloody days and i havent stopped crying. i havent seen him either and wonder if he's okay. this is all my fault..."

i put it away and took a deep breath and wiped my eyes and Alice came and sat beside me with a letter in her hands "it's for you"

she put it in my lap and gently tapped my back twice and got up and walked off

"dear amy. i've decided to leave with mom and head back home, since there's no use for me being here anymore. i'm sorry for whatever it was that i did, but... if we can't be together then i think i'm gonna be alone for the rest of my life. i thought about staying and trying to prove to you that i care about you, and that i knew you because obsessed with pink things eversince you saw that strawberry shortcake ad on tv and that you didnt have one favourite colour because you thought they were all beautiful in someway and that you're scared of small bugs going up your nose while you sleep. i dont know if you knew that i loved you, probably because i never actually said it outloud except to Bert when i was sleep-talking about Barney the Dinosaur. please dont ever change who you are - you're too good to lose :( - love Hunter."

the ring i gave back was on the bottom and i put it on my finger.

i couldnt live without atleast seeing him around. i needed him.

"oh my god" i said and stood up and ran off the bus

i loved him.
