*dedicated to the love of my life .. I'm here for you , babe ;)*

"Will," Hannah called after she saw someone in the crowd. She motioned to him with her arms and he soon strolled toward her..us.

"Oh my God, you changed way too much," she squealed and I turned to look at other people in the party. "Look at you, dude."

"Who's that?" I heard him say before I turned to face Hannah first. My eyes snapped to his when I recognized him as the guy who was with Pearl in a fucking restaurant at my bloody birthday.

"He's the most caring person on Earth," Hannah introduced me with a wide grin. "Also called Hunter."

"William," he extended his hand to shake mine and I rolled my eyes, ignoring him.

"How do you know him?" I asked her.

"He's my friend," she smiled. "Since as long as I remember."

"You don't want to shake hands?" he asked me, arching his brow with a smug expression on his face. "You know...since our last meeting wasn't...appropriate?"

"You met him?" Hannah gasped.

"No," I answered. "Let's go."

"Wait," she pulled me by my wrist. "You two know each other?"

"No."

"Yes," he said at the same time.

Her beautiful face shifted between us before it settled on me, Thank God.

"What's happening here?"

"Is he your boyfriend?" he asked her and I rubbed my face with my palms roughly.

"Yes, is there a problem with that?"

"No, I only got the ultimate honor to meet his fucking wif--"

My fist connected with his nose before I heard it snap. Blood covered his face seconds later when I randomly punched him over and over.

No man brings up my Pearl disrespectfully.

Not when I'm still alive.
