Daisy's POVAs I walk away from Hunter, I place my hand over my chest to try and make my heart stop beating faster. I liked being in Hunter's arms, I liked him comforting me, a little too much for my liking. Back there, he made me really believe that everything would be okay even though I know that nothing will ever be able to fill the absence my mother left when she died.My mother was the sweetest and kindest woman that ever existed. She lit up the room with her smile and draws everyone in with her kindness. My father was so in love with my mother that when she died, I don't think he ever fully recovered; though he doesn't show it. He always tries to stay strong for me and he never even glanced at any other female with interest.If only I had listened............If only I had been faster.......If only I had been quicker.......... None of this would have happened. I run my hand through my hair to clear my head. It's no use having regrets now.My mind involuntarily goes back to when
Hunter's POV"Hello Hunter" The Eve chick says smiling coyly and taking her time to shake my hands. I'm not stupid; I know when a chick is blatantly flirting with me and I normally would flirt back but I can't help but notice everything that was too little and too much about her. Like how her hair is too long, not the perfect length like Daisy's, how she's not as tall as Daisy, How her hair is not blonde like Daisy, How she doesn't smell of citrus like Daisy, In conclusion, she just isn't Daisy.She turns to Daisy with a barely noticeable smirk on her face."Hi Daisy, It's a pleasure to see you again" She says extending her hands for a shake.Huh? What does she mean by again?Do they know each other?I glance at Daisy to see her face in shock like she has just seen a ghost. She quickly recovers and tries to smile but fails and then take Eve's hand shake offer."I'm confused. What do you mean by again? Have you guys met before?" Kyle (who I hate) asks as confused as everyone.Eve lets
Hunter's POVI freeze in my steps as the words Taylor just said kept ringing in my head.I love you.I've always did.I turn to face her and I see all my friends and Daisy's friends staring at Taylor in shock. I move my gaze to Taylor's face and for once since we've started high school, I see a hint of the old Taylor peeking through. That still does not assuage the shock her words have coursed through me though.She loves me? Taylor loves me?Why would she love me? I've never done anything to encourage her to love me. In fact, I've never done anything to encourage anyone to have feelings for me. As much as I sleep around, I can't hurt a girl like that. All the girls I sleep with know the deal.And what does she mean by she always has?"Taylor I don't......." I start to say but she cuts me off."Hunter, please listen to me, I've always loved you since we were small but then......." She pauses to sniff."But then, we got to the age where you started to notice girls and I thought that m
Daisy's POVHunter sighs tiredly and runs his hand over his face. He thenstarts to follow Tiffany but then turns back as if he forgot something only todrag me after him by my arm. Our friends follow automatically exchanging knowing looks.What have they all been up to?My eyes widen when we get to the scene and I find myself questioning Taylor's mental health."It's over!!! I don't have anything to live for anymore. He doesn't want me and it's all because of that slut. What has he asked for that I didn't give to hi...........don't you dare come near me!" Taylor pauses her sob story to warn off people that were trying to approach her and collect the knife that she was currently holding to her throat.Her eyes find Hunter who looked equal parts scared for her and also annoyed as hell. Slowly, her gaze moves down and narrows on where Hunter was still holding me by my wrist and I immediately make a move to snatch my hand away from Hunter's. I don't want to be responsible for a person's h
Daisy's POVWhy does that sound so bad?I continue packing and a few minutes later, I hear the footstep of someone entering the tent. I turn to see that that person was Hunter. I examine his neat clothes and appearance; he didn't look like someone who spent the night with a woman.King jumps up from my bed and runs towards Hunter with his tail wagging happily. He lets out tiny barks and he tries to jump as high as he can to get Hunter's attention.Hunter bends down beside him and scratches King's belly before he moves his eyes to me making our gazes meet. I break the stare and continue packing while mumbling an awkward 'good morning' to him with a stray tear falling from my right eye but I hastily wipe it away.I just can't get the image of him kissing Taylor out of my head.He greets me back and goes to the side of his tent packing his own bag. Silence reigns for an hour before he grunts in what seems to be frustration and comes to the side of my bed pulling me up by my waist."You k
Daisy's POV"What! NO! I don't want to get married to someone I don't know! And that too, at age 18!!!" I screech shooting up from my seat."You won't get married now, you're too young. But you're going to be engaged till you both graduate college. Daisy, please don't question me on this one." He says tiredly and I notice the big bags under his eyes since the first time that I've entered the study making me feel like the worst daughter in the world. That still doesn't make me relent though."I'm not selling the rest of my life away just so you can make profits" I say walking out of the study and slamming the door before walking angrily to my room.I furiously throw all my pillows at the door and glare at nothing imagining it was the stupid idiot I was supposed to marry. Unwillingly,my mind goes to Hunter. Maybe I was secretly hoping that the kiss might have been a start of...........No, no, no Daisy don't go there. That would be a perfect recipe for disaster and heartbreak.Now inste
Daisy's POVOf all the people in the world, it just had to be him.Why am I surprised? I've always known fate had a personal vendetta against me. She's always been content to ruin my life just for her own amusement.I pick up my fork and turn my head to the approaching figure to see whether I had imagined him or if I needed glasses. Unfortunately, the figure didn't disappear or change, he kept approaching not looking up from his phone.I don't think he has noticed me yet.There he stood in all his glory, Hunter Stone.I haven't met anyone with as much rotten luck as mine. I had planned to avoid him for the few remaining months that remained for us in High school. Even though I doubt that would be possible with the growing friendship between his friends and my friends.He looked up from his phone and froze in his steps for a few seconds; myriads of emotions passing through his face in the blink of an eye: shock, surprise, a little softness and then anger.Why would he be angry? Does i
Daisy's POV"I'm waiting" she snarls.Is this the same sister Hunter was talking about as if she was an angel? Well, he did mention that she sometimes act like an overbearing mother."Uhmm, yes I am" I answer her question.She scans me from head to toe and then starts to fire me with questions."Do you like kids? What about animals? Who is your favorite Disney princess? Who would you choose between Edward and Jacob? And finally, do you love my brother?" She exhales after she finishes making me start to wonder what the point of this questioning is."Yeah, I do like kids and animals. My favourite disney princess is Tiana from the frog prince. Definitely Jacob and to answer your last question, I..........." I trail off unsure of how to answer.For God's sake Daisy, you just have to say yes or no.I surely don't love Hunter. I don't even like him. Okay the last part was a lie, I think it's time I accept the fact that I have a tiny crush on Hunter."Tiana! Oh, I love The frog prince too! I
