View MoreElise Hunter cleared his voice and caught everyone’s attention. When I turned around I smiled, “Good morning, sleepyhead, we’re making breakfast if you want some.” He blinked for a few moments and then joined the girls at the counter. They began conversing with him, asking him questions about the marks on my body that they were already asking Deacon. At this point in time, the marks were starting to subside and looked more like giant freckles. I turned back around and went back to cooking with Deacon; we were making waffles, eggs and bacon for everyone. We had originally planned to take breakfast to Hunter to wake him up, but since he came down we thought it would be nice to eat with everyone together. Cooking only took about thirty minutes to make sure everyone had enough for seconds, so after everyone grabbed a plate, Deacon, Hunter and I grabbed our own plates of food and followed the girls to the living room. The girls had brought their comfy chairs down from their rooms and sa
Hunter ‘What did we do to her last night’ was all I could think when I walked through Elise’s bedroom door. Bruises and scratches adorned her entire body from what I could see underneath what little clothes she had on. Deacon was sitting at the edge of her bed while she was laying blankets out on the floor, completely unphased by the state of her. Even moreso, he was laughing with her while she laid everything out. “Elise, what did we do to you last night? I know there was a lot of scratching and biting but I didn’t think we would leave this many marks on you. Are you okay,” I asked. I bent down to her level and began helping her make a makeshift bed on the floor and await her answer. Deacon let out a thunderous laugh that knocked me off my feet. When I looked over at Elise, even she was giggling. “Oh, Hunter, you’re late to the party. I am perfectly okay, and honestly better than perfectly okay. Why do you think I invited you over after Deacon showed up?” she asked. “I didn’t kno
Deacon I knocked on the door of Elise’s house and waited. I had been worried about Elise. She wasn’t answering any of my calls and I had seen that she looked at my texts, but she hadn’t answered any of them. Hunter said she hadn’t answered him either. Elise said she would meet up with us at some point today, but she hadn’t even replied to any of my messages after I called her. I waited for a beat, what if she wasn’t at home, what if she was in danger, or what if last night was too much and she’s in the hospital. The door swung open and I was face to face with Claire. She was very surprised to see me, then her face showed something else that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. She moved out of the doorway and waved me in. Everyone was in the kitchen at the counter eating spaghetti and garlic bread. Clearly, everything was fine, by the look of the scene I entered myself into; the girls were all looking at me as though I had walked into the house with a gun. Elise had the biggest astoni
I came down the stairs and the girls were impressed that I was able to cover everything. We all gathered in the kitchen while I made lunch for everyone and continued gossiping about things that had happened since we got here. It felt like forever since I had actually gotten to hang out with my girls, so I appreciated the time with them more than I usually would. The laughing, the noise, and the gossip made me feel right at home. Claire was unusually quiet for some reason, so while I let the food cook a little bit longer I walked over to her corner of the island counter and got real close. “Claire, you’re not really joining in on the festivities… Is everything okay,” I asked quietly, so as not to draw attention to us. “David broke up with me this morning after we went and got you, and I don’t really know how to feel right now,” she said softly. Now was the time to get everyone’s attention. “Girls, we have a situation. David’s murder,” I blurted out. It went quiet and everyone turned
