~Crying to sleep has been my tradition since I got here, and today is no exception.Hunter has made me cry, laugh, happy and every type of emotion that I've never felt before.I groan as I hear someone knocking on my door. Only if I hadn't lock the door cos I feel so lazy to stand. Finally getting myself off the bed, I staggered there and open the door to see my mom. I sigh and let her in before closing it back."You look terrible " my mom say as she scan my face raising my chin with her finger.I turn my face away making her hand drop. I walk to my bed and sit down. "You don't expect me to look okay mom, after all this " I say dramatically. "And why do I think you are overreacting, when I told you about your dad and sister, you were sad but you didn't even freak out the way you did when I mentioned Hunter " she says. "I'm not overreacting mom, I only think I deserve an explanation from Hunter. He ought to tell me about this before now ""Hunter doesn't owe you any explanation or

I scoffed"So how am I involved in her problems, why is she taking it out on me ""She was dissapointed that her father is a mob and you also. Her father isn't alive for her to get angry and scold him, but you are. So she took her anger on you "Ryan tried to explain."Really? Is her mother dead too? All this things doesn't make sense, she's just.. She's crazy"And she drives me crazy.Ryan sighed and remained silent while I just continued smoking and drinking. I glanced at Ryan to see him looking at me, he shook his head when our eyes meet. I ignored him and pour my self alcohol. I don't get easily drunk or else I drink m

It's a week and I felt really happy. I was back to my normal life with the same people that I've been with before. And also Hanna, she is a very nice woman, I wish she can just be my aunt. But.. I thought about him (Hunter )every day in as much as I don't want to, but I found myself smiling at our memories. And Matt, seeing him now makes me guilty for leaving him that day. Even though we have not been able to talk or spend time due to his work, I know he's going to ask. Someone knock on my door and I stood up to open the door. "Matt " I called "You are not going to work ?""No, I rest during weekend " he said and I nod "come in " I said opening the door for him. "No, come with me. I want to show you around.

After wearing my clothes, I decided to pull of the window cotton as it was a little dark.I sighed and was about to go back to bed, I had no intention of going outside today. My eyes caught something and I went back to see very well. Well I thought I saw Hunter's car outside the house. But I wasn't mistaken as I saw the man that I couldn't stop thinking of all night talking to my Mom outside. What was he doing here? I put on my flip flops and ran out of my room. I saw Hanna and Matt in the leaving room. We all exchanged greetings. "Who is he? Your mom and him seems to be arguing about something and I heard them mention your name "Matt asked"Excuse me " I said to him and walk out to where they are.

I don't want to get late to school again today.I rush to my locker and take out notes for the first period which is literature before going to my class.I sat down on my seat. My eyes met with Matt's.
