A/N: Listen to Say Goodbye from Skillet and Adore you from Miley Cyrus in this chapter. :))

Hunters POV

I don't believe jack what Andrea just mentioned to us. True, she could've fooled me with how good of a liar she is but here's the thing. I know Sofia more than anything and if there was an emergency I'd be the first one she'd tell. So something's up and I'm about to figure it out.

It's no freagging coincidence that Sophie ran out on me after my confession and now she had a supposed emergency. I mean, it was stupid of course to do and say all I said, and it was all true. Maybe if it wasn't me I would've been worried that I'd lose her. But this is Hunter Pleasure we're talking about. If I want something I get it.

I walk around the hotel, pacing around seeing couples everywhere I go and wistfully hoping it was Sofia and I.

The hotel had beautiful white lights everywhere since it was night and I found myself walking through some semi dark halls. Where is Sofia? Damn it.

Out of the corner of my eye I see Andrea with her too short pink dress making out with John.

-Sigh-

Some things never change. They always do this. They fight, she gives him the silent treatment then they go back and make-out.

Andrea was rubbing herself all over him and I couldn't help but to think how slutty she looked doing that. It was a big turn off in my opinion. What guy wants a girl like that? A girl who'd kiss just about any guy and then return to her boyfriend just for fun and her needs.

I decided to interrupt them to begin with my plan of finding Sofia. I walked swiftly to where they were and cleared my throat loudly.

Neither one of them stopped.

I tapped Andreas shoulder and both of them breathless and flustered looked at me.

"Hunter, could you pick any other moment to talk? We're kind of busy here... " John said fidgeting with his pants.

Andrea giggled and rolled her eyes that had way too much makeup on and said in a flirty way to which John was oblivious. "What is it that you wish to speak to me about? "

I crossed my arms and with a deadpanned face I asked Andrea a question. "Where the hell is really Sofia? I'm no fool." Andrea gave a kiss to John whispering something I couldn't hear on his ear and John's face brightened gleefully. He almost even ran out. No doubt to her hotel room.

Andrea turned to me and with lustful eyes she gave me a sloppy kiss. When I realized what she was doing I pushed her off of me disgusted. "What the f@#k is wrong with you?" I bellowed.

Annoyed she pouted with her bright ugly pink lipstick and put her pale hands on her hips. "Why? Why does it always have to be about Sofia? Sophie this,  Sophie that. I've had it!"

"What the hell is wrong with you? You have John!" I yelled at her.

She frowned. "I don't want him. I want you." She tried kissing me again but not being caught off guard I pushed her away from me. She let out a shriek in frustration. I just took more steps back from her.

"Don't you understand? It will always be of her. It has never and will never be about you. I will never want you either. I will always want her. So stop with this bull and wake up and smell the coffee. It's not all about you and in my world you never will."

Her hazel eyes turned watery and she burst out crying, throwing a fretful fit. Extremely good actress I have to say but I know her plays. She wants me to feel sorry for her then she'll say some stuff and she thinks I'll be stupid enough to fall for her plan of getting me. Well I'm sorry to say that there's no way I'll ever be with her.

"Go to John. Cry to him. I'm going now to see the love of my life so back off. You've played with way too many hearts and it is my turn to give you a wake up call."

She cracked a malicious grin and stood in front of me crossing her arms. "I'll just lies and tell everybody that you tried to rape me." My mouth fell open astonished of how low she could get.

"No one will believe you because I saw and heard everything." A deep raspy voice said flatly.

Andrea and I looked towards the male who that voice belonged to and were both surprised to find it was John.

Her eyes got watery with real emotion as she tried to get close to him but John just gently pushed her back looking at her with repugnance.

"After all these years,  I now discover it was all a lie. I came back for the hotel room card and heard every single thing you said. Good bye now for real Andrea."

John left with eyes all glassy and Andrea tried to speak and grab him but he skipped her touch leaving her hands awkwardly on the air, watching John walk away. And I knew for sure that this would be the last time they would be together again.

Thank God...

"You did this! It's all your fault!"Andrea accused me with black tears running from her cheeks.

I laughed at her accusation and pointed at her with a sneer. "Woah Woah Woah. You got this to yourself. You threw yourself at me. Let's not forget that, shall we? Also, it's not my fault you are a whore. Bye." Andreas jaw dropped and I felt so good to do that. She needed a taste of her own medicine.

I got quickly inside my hotel room, packing Sofias stuff and mine. I know Sofia had plans for me and I know her beautiful intentions but without her everything won't be fun; everything won't be the same. I need her here in my arms, protecting her like I promised Lucinda I would. In case you're wondering who's Lucinda well, that's a long story to tell. So I'll just shorten it.

Lucinda was my Guardian Angel when I was a kid. We used to play together with a ball of light that she made for me. But one day, she left with no goodbye and I couldn't feel her no more. After some time in a dream,  she said she was still watching over me from high up above and that every time I saw a white swan or bird it's her sending a message.

She was absolutely beautiful with blonde long hair and bright blue eyes with pale skin and rosy cheeks. She was so kind and sweet and I cherished her alot. So that's about all I can think about of explaining to you who's Lucinda. I think Sofia once met her. But only once for Lucinda is extremely shy...

In another dream on 12 grade she made me promise I'll take care and protect my sweet Sofia but I told her that I was already doing that from the very beginning. I think I loved Sofia before I even met her. And woefully she's converted me into a sap but she gets all flustered and blushes when I do that so it's totally worth being like that.

I was already sitting down on my rented jeep heading to somewhere I had no idea where. I slammed my open hands on my steering wheel saying every colorful word in every possible way. I began then thinking where would Sofia run off to.

A park was the first thing that came to my mind so I went to every nearby park. But when I glanced at my wrist watch it read 2:36 am.

Crap, it's damn late.

I turned on my GPS and searched for the nearest motel to crash in. Tomorrow first in the morning I'm searching for her and hopefully with a good sleep I can think coherently. Too much has been going on these last days.

John, Jacob and all the other guys from our gang as we called each other before has been non-stop calling me. And of course I've been ditching them. I'm not picking up, hell no. With how crappy I feel? There's no one I want by my side except of course Sofia. Sofia will always be my exception.

My motel room was simple enough with a queen sized bed and with two nightstands accompanied with two lamps on top of them. Also, there was blue teal colored walls and black rugs with an average sized bathroom. Overall, I didn't care much about how fancy this motel could be.

I took a quick shower and changed with my eyes all drowsy.

Right now that bed with those white sheets and overstuffed pillows were looking like heaven before my tired eyes. With one single arm I took all of the pillows and threw myself to this amazing soft bed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Don't leave me!  I need you son. Don't leave me!" Mom cried. I had burning tears blurring my sight. I extended my arms to mommy and embraced her.

"I'll never leave you."

"Why did you leave me then?" She retorted with anger forming on her dark brown eyes.

"What you did mom was, it was unimaginable. How could you do that to my brother? I've trusted you and although I love you and have forgiven you because our family was taught to always forgive, this is different. What you did hurt me so much mom. You have no idea of the endless nights consisted of no sleep. I was in denial that my own mother did that.

Then Sofia had to be the one having to see that. Do you know how embarrassed I felt? How depressed I was? What I was put through? And never did I notice until now that Sofia has always been there for me in every step of the way. When was I really there for her?"

Mom looked down and everywhere around us was cloudy with nothing but a white background. "There's nothing I will say to justify my past actions but please, I need to see my sons again. I'm sorry for putting you through that. Just know that there's not a single day that goes by that I don't think of you and Jacob. I love you guys so much."

I looked at her with a straight face, taking a deep breath feeling as if someone squeezed my heart. "I forgive you. And no matter what, I love you too. This doesn't mean that what you did was right or anything but, the past is the past... " She beamed at me and gave me a tight hug.

Then the scene before me blurred and I was somewhere else. I was in a park? This is a typical for my Sophie. Then it turned to a field. There was flowers of all types, shapes, colors and sizes with a bright sunny day and a vast blue sky.

Then came there my angel looking like she was about seventeen with those cute brown laughing eyes. Her smile dazzled me and once again I was tranced by her beauty. Not only of her physical appeal but by her heart and wild, free spirit I fell in love with from the very start that I met her.

She was walking around looking at all the flowers; she had a glowing light pink dress that reached just bellow her knees. Her almost black wavy hair that had natural blonde/redish highlights was cascading down to her hips. I loved her so much...

She ran to me and threw at me a bright grin giving me a light kiss on my cheek. Then she whispered to my ear. "Don't ever leave me. I love you Hunter. I always have and will."

I kissed her sweet lips but then I felt liquid drops around my face and soon all over me. Now there was thunder and lighting around us that became violent. When I looked at her she was sobbing uncontrollably.

My heart ached with a lump in my throat and all I wanted was for her to stop crying and smile again the one I loved. Her lips trembled and her big brown eyes were with tears brimmed in her tearduct, falling carelessly. I tried to catch a tear but she stepped back. Her hair was drenched still managing to look beautiful but seeing her like this made feel so heartbroken.

"You were never there! I needed you and you were just never there. You left me to suffer alone! Where were you? Where are you now? You just let me run off without chasing me? I've chased you my entire life. But I'm tired of it. You hurt me! You let go of me. You'll never love me the way I love you! " Sophie yelled through the wind, the thunder and all the chaos around us.

"You're wrong. I'm deeply in love with you. Why can't you see that? " I begged. She shook her head shaking her lovely damp hair around her with the untamed rain and thunder seeming as if we were at the eye of a storm.

"You left me. You were never there." She wailed. I tried embracing her for words weren't enough to describe and tell her how I felt. That I'd never leave her. That I'm sorry for being an ass and not being there when she needed me but when I put my arms around her, all I caught was air. My arms passed right through her.

"You left me all alone..." She whispered.

She was floating high with desperation clear in her scared eyes. Her hand reached out as she tried to grab mine. I stretched my hand and jumped high but her hand went right through mine.

"Don't let me go Hunter! Don't let go of me!"

That was the last thing I heard after waking up yelling all sweaty and sticky. "I won't! Never!"

I knew what I had to do. I need to see my mother. I need to see Sofia. And knowing this, somehow I knew where she was.

Don't worry princess, I'll find you. I'll never let go...
