Chapter Seventeen: For A Minute (Part Two)
As we went outside, I motioned for Logan to stand near the school door so Hunter and I could talk alone.
The wind blew a strand of hair out of my usual ponytail so I put it behind my ear and leaned against a column.
I waved my hand as if to say go on.
"I unintentionally hurt you and I admit that. But we were on a break. And although that's not an excuse for my actions, it's the beginning of my apology though," Hunter said.
"Go on," I replied.
"It's not like I didn't love you. Cuz I did. I still do," Hunter said, "But I have moved on. Not that Samantha has replaced you as #1 girl. Cuz you'll always be #1."
I chuckled before saying, "That's good then."
"Thank God," Hunter said.
"For what?" I asked.
"Now everything isn't so complicated anymore. We're back to being us," Hunter answered.
"Not quite," I said.
Hunter looked at me confused before I gave him a cheeky smile.
"If you're eternally in my debt, I think I'd forgive you even more," I answered.
"Oh my God! I hate when I have boners," Hunter said, slapping his forehead with his hand.
"Don't worry," I said, "I won't torture you that severely. Just a hug."
I held my arms out and put on my cute puppy dog face.
Hunter came and hugged me. I hugged back, of course, And closed my eyes, savoring this moment.
"I'm glad you're not trying to squeeze my ass," I commented.
"Who said I was stopping that?" Hunter asked before giving my butt a light squeeze.
I playfully smacked him in the back of the head before laughing and he laughed with me.

"How do you feel?" Logan asked.
"Like normal. Now I don't have to lie. I don't like lying," I answered.
"Then why'd you do it?" Logan asked.
Turning towards him from where I was laying on his bed, I sighed before saying, "This is gonna sound stupid but I didn't want to hurt you. Lying, though, naturally hurts people. I wasn't thinking and everything was, well, complicated. But... now I know what's real."
"Coolio," Logan said simply.
"That's it?" I asked, "Coolio?"
"I'm joking, Ana. I've forgiven you a long time ago. And I'm glad you forgave Hunter. You guys have been friends longer than I knew you. I didn't want that screwed up," Logan answered.
"Well, I'm glad it isn't. So yep," I replied.
"I love you, Anastasia Marie Dawn," Logan said.
"I love you too. And just a bit of advice, I hate my full name," I replied.
"I know. But you look cute when you're annoyed," Logan said.
I kissed him on the forehead before rolling my eyes.
