"Here, I brought your clothes, phone, laptop and CD as you asked. Your neighbors were giving me weird looks. They might think that I'm a robber or something." Hunter walked into the house and I chuckled.

"Well, don't worry about that. Breakfast is ready." I said and Hunter placed all my stuff on the couch.

He walked over to the dining table and sat down. I gave him his pancakes and he started eating. "You're not going to school tomorrow." he said out of the blue, making my head snap to his direction.

"Why?" I asked him and he shot me his flat look once again.

"You can't go to school in that condition." he said and I sat down next to him.

"But I'm fine now." I breathed out.

Hunter stared at me. "You were stabbed, Zoe. Stabbed." he shot me a glare. "And those burns are still healing."

"But I can walk, Hunter." I said and he sighed.

"Fine. You can go, but you won't leave my side unless you have classes. Understood?" he gave me a look, telling me that I better agree.

I pursed my lips and nodded. "Okay."

"Hey!" Blaze grinned widely when she saw us.

Hunter and I grinned back as we walked over to her. She hugged us and Hunter and I sat down. Hunter was going to tell Blaze today that I moved in with him, but of course without the actual reason. I was excited to see how living with Hunter was going to be. It seemed nearly impossible for people that don't actually know him. The rumors just disgusted me. I held in a scowl when I remembered the whispers I was hearing that day. Sure, Hunter didn't give a fuck, but I couldn't stand hearing bad things about him.

I can't believe that people actually think that Hunter is using me as his 'slave' or that he's forcing and abusing me into things that are against my will. People are so stupid. They just assume things and without thinking they start rumors. Hunter is actually the one that saved my life. What the fuck are people thinking? It may not bother Hunter, but it does bother me. Hunter doesn't deserve any of this.

"Are you okay?" Blaze gave me a look and I looked at Hunter; but looked back at Blaze afterwards.

"Yeah, I'm perfectly fine." I smiled at her, hoping she'll be convinced. Luckily, she bought it.

Suddenly the door opened and the doctor walked in. He greeted us and we kindly greeted back. He walked over to Blaze and simply asked her questions about how she's feeling, if she had enough sleep and other stuff. When their conversation was over, the doctor turned around and looked at us. To be honest, the doctor did look very creepy. He had thick glasses that made his eyes seem huge, he had a lot of pimples on his face, and his serious face just made me shiver. He looked like a psychotic doctor that could cut your organs out and make you eat your own organs, but of course, he is not like that. I hope...

"You are her brother, right?" he looked at Hunter and Hunter gave him a slight nod. The doctor cleared his throat and glanced at me. He raised his eyebrow but didn't say anything and looked back at Hunter. "We have to talk." he said and walked to the door. "I'll see you in my office whenever you're free."

Hunter nodded and the doctor walked out of the room. "He creeps me out..." I said and Blaze giggled.

"I know, he creeps me out too. I have never seen him smile ever. He is worse than Hunter." she said and her brother glared at her.

"Shut up." he said and sighed. "I'll go to the doctor's office. I'll be right back." Hunter looked at us as we nodded.

He shook his head and walked out of the room. Blaze looked at me and smirked. "So, you're going to be here everyday. Aren't you?"

I grinned. "Probably." I said and she cleared her throat.

"So that means you spend the whole day with Hunter. That is very new." she grinned, making me blush.

"About that..." I breathed out and she raised a questioning eyebrow. I smiled sheepishly. "I moved in with Hunter." I said and her eyes grew wide.

"Dude! You guys are living together now?" she whisper yelled and I felt my face burn red. "I didn't know you meant that much to Hunter. No one knows where he lives. Goddamn, Hunter, you bastard. He didn't even tell me." she said and I blinked a few times. "Like, did he ask you to move in with him or something?" she asked and I felt the words get stuck in my throat.

Should I tell her? I mean, I know everything about her and I trust her and Hunter enough to let them know everything. I cleared my throat and nervously played with my fingers.

"I kind of..." I swallowed. "Got stabbed..." I said and her eyes grew even wider, if that's possible.

"What?" she breathed out. "When? How? Who the fuck stabbed you? Why?" she shot her questions at me and I did my best to calm her down. I gestured her to calm down and she eventually did.

"It was the day before yesterday. After I arrived at home, my abusive brother beat me up, asking about Hunter. I was shocked that he found out, but then again, it wasn't any new news. I was tired of everything he did to me, and I triggered him to kill me. He did make a move and he stabbed me. I was happy I was going to die, but then your words came into my head and I called Hunter. He came just in time and brought me to the hospital." I said and she calmed down a bit, sighing in relief.

"But, you're okay now, right? It's nothing serious anymore, right?" she started freaking out. 

I smiled at her and took her hand in mine. "No, Blaze. I am perfectly fine now. The wound just has to heal." I said and she breathed out in relief once again.

"Where is your brother now?" she asked and I shrugged.

"I don't know. He fled once he stabbed me. He probably thinks that I'm dead now." I said and she blinked.

"For real?" she asked and I nodded. "That bitch." she swore and I chuckled.

Right then the door opened and Hunter walked in. Blaze and I looked at him with curious eyes. Hunter raised his hands and shoulders, giving us a skeptical look.

"What?" he asked and we giggled.

"Nothing. What did the doctor say?" I asked and he breathed out.

"Everything's fine. Don't worry." he said and we nodded.

Soon we started talking again and we didn't even realize that the time was flying by and visiting hours were over.

"Do we have any classes together today?" Hunter asked as I got off his stupid bike.

I never knew he had a bike and today he forced me to get on the bike, unless I wanted to walk to school. I had no other choice. I just gave in and hopped on the bike. It was the worst experience ever. I had a feeling that my hair was all over the place and I knew for a fact that I was right. I took off the helmet and styled my hair again. I got tired and just tied it in a messy ponytail. It's school anyways. Who cares about hair?

I thought about Hunter's question for a second. Hunter and I have three classes together in total. Physics, English, and History. Out of the three we have one today and that is History. I looked at him and grinned.

"History." I said and he breathed out in annoyance.

"Fantastic." he said sarcastically.

I chuckled and was about to walk away, but then he grabbed me by my wrist. "You're not going anywhere." he said.

"But... I was going to say hi to Alyssa." I said.

He shook his head. "You have all your classes with her. You have the time to talk to her during classes, but you're staying by my side." he said and I groaned.

"Hunter, this is school, nothing can happen to me here." I said, hoping that he would allow me to go to Alyssa.

"I don't care, Zoe. You're staying by my side and that is it. I don't trust anyone. In fact, I don't even trust Alyssa." he said and I sighed.

It was fair for him. He didn't have any reason to trust anyone. Although this is school, anything can happen. He didn't trust Alyssa, but I did. Hunter did so much for me, the least I could do was listen to him. I sighed and stopped protesting against his decision. I just went to stand next to him and just looked around.

"And, Zoe..." he called me and I looked at him.

"Yeah?"

"I'm not saying that you shouldn't listen to everything I say, but stop acting like a puppy. It's your life and you have your own decisions. I know you're used to obeying commands, since that was your life with Tony, but I am not Tony. You're seventeen, Zoe. You can make your own decisions. I may have claimed you as mine, but As long as you're comfortable with what I ask, then it's all good." he said and I stared at him.

"Hunter, you know... You're very different..." I said and he frowned.

"What do you mean?" he frowned, but his expression soon turned into a flat look again.

"What I mean, is that I never knew you like this." I said. "Yes, I can make my own decisions, but you're right on this one." I said and he shook his head.

"You really are mental." he said and I chuckled.

Suddenly this group of guys walked pass us and one of the guys gave me a teasing smirk. I frowned and what he shouted next made Hunter furious.

"How does sucking Hunter his junk feel?" he yelled and I gasped.

He did not...

Suddenly I thought about Tony and I felt tears pricking my eyes.

"You son of a bitch!" I heard Hunter yell and the next thing I know was that punches and kicks were flying all over the place.

A group of students circled around then, filming what was happening. I heard a groan in pain and I snapped out of my trance. Stop thinking about Tony, Zoe. You have a better life now. I told myself. Tony thought I was dead. I had no idea that Tony made me feel this whorish until now.

"You motherfucker." I heard Hunter yell and a few of the students gasp.

Hunter...

I ran through the students and saw the guy on the ground held by his collar by Hunter, who was punching him in his face non-stop. I gasped and ran over to Hunter, pulling him by his shoulder.

"Hunter! Please stop! For God's sake, just stop! Hunter please!" I pulled even harder. "Please... Hunter..." I breathed out as tears streamed down my face.

Goddammit! Stop crying!

Hunter looked at me and froze for a second, staring at me. "Please, Hunter... Stop..." I cried.

Hunter looked at the guy and let go of his collar, making him fall on the ground with a thud. The buzzer went off and all the students started disappearing. It surprised me how none of the teachers showed up. As soon as I thought of that, the principal arrived, looked at the two guys, and then glared at Hunter.

"In my office, now!" she said.

---

"I heard Hunter fought with a guy this morning." Alyssa said and I swallowed.

"Yeah..." I said and Alyssa gave me a look. "You're not involved in this, right?" she frowned and I chuckled sheepishly. Alyssa her eyes grew wide. "What the fuck, Zoe! I did everything I could to keep Hunter away from you and you're involved in all this?" she said and I frowned.

"What do you mean you did everything to keep me away from Hunter?" I squinted my eyes at her and she suddenly got nervous. I stared at her. "What did you do, Alyssa?"

"It doesn't matter, right?" she grew nervous. 

I glared at her. "What. Did. You. Do?"

"I kind of..." she licked her lips. "I kind of... Told your brother..." she said and I gasped.

"You what?"
