everything changed

Part 12

faith's pov

"hunter!!" i said shocked. chris got up the moment i said that and walked out of the room. i don't know when chris was leaving but i felt as if it was soon, and really soon. it almost felt when he walked out that room that he was walking out my life. i got up and followed chris but as soon as i reached the door, hunter grabbed my arm and pulled me back into the room. 

"what are you doing?" hunter asked me in the most serious voice i have ever heard from him. 

"chris is moving back to manhattan, hunter, i have to go chase after him."

"what about us, faith. what about us.." hunter trailed off, chocking up on his words. 

"what about us hunter? last time i checked, you wanted to just be friends."

"faith, you know i like you, i'm just not sure what i want yet." 

"well, hunter, i do know what i want, you, i want you, at least i did. but if you aren't sure if you want me, then there's nothing between us. i need to follow my heart and right not, it's telling me to go after chris, and you're just standing in my way" i finished the conversation, tears forming in my eyes, and i ran out of my room to find chris nowhere in the house. 

"where did chris go?" i yelled to everyone in the house. 

"he left, faith. an uber took him to the airport" aaron told me, and before he could say another word, i bolted out of the house and into my car.

Hunters pov 

i thought dreams did come true, but according to my last conversation with faith, they don't. she just left my sight to chase after some boy she told me she didn't have feelings for.

i started pacing around her room trying to figure out what just happened. one moment she was telling me how much she liked me and how she never had any feelings for chris, and then the next moment she was running away from me, chasing after him. i was looking around her room as i was thinking and found the frame i got her before we left hawaii, next to it was a frame of her and chris on their first date and then another one on their second. 

i guess i just found my answer to what went wrong, it was me.. i went wrong. she did have feelings for chris, but i got in the way and made her doubt that. i forced something that wasn't meant to be. 

chris's pov

i knew faith once had feelings for me, i saw it in her eyes when she was around me, so to see her with someone else made just about everything foggy. i could never not love faith. she is my everything, but i could also never support her in another relationship, it's just too hard. i left for not only my sake's, but also for faith's. i knew that the moment i walked out of the room she would finally come to conclusions with her feelings. and if her feelings are with hunter, then i will learn to respect that and move on with my life,.. i just hope that she realizes that we were meant to be. she is my forever, and forever lasts.. well forever. 

as soon as i got into the uber, i regretted ever walking out of faith's room and ever making the decision to leave to manhattan. i know it is the best choice, but i love faith and don't know if leaving my one true love is the best thing for me. 

"can you drop me off at this park to the right instead?" i asked the driver as we approached the park faith and i sat at on our first date. 

he shook his head and put his turn signal on as he made the turn into the park. i got out the car with all my suitcases and walked over to the bench where we had a couple take our picture. i had the picture framed and gave it to faith the next date we went on. i sat down and thought back to our first deep conversation. we were walking home from the amusement park and she sat here to tell me her disregards with maddie. even though it was our first date, it was the first time i felt such a way towards someone. now look where we are, six months later and i'm on my way back to my home and faith probably cuddle right up next to hunter not even worried about when the next time she will see me again.

"chris? is that you?" i heard faith call out through the fog.

i got up surprised to hear her voice. she cleared up through the fog and as soon and we were face to face, she ran up to me and jumped into my arms. she was bawling her eyes out and for the first time in a long time i felt her heart beating against mine and her face on my shoulder. i hugged her just as tightly as she was hugging me and i started to tear up. i didn't think she was even thinking about me, let alone looking for me. 

"i figured you would be here" she said as i put her feet back on the dirt and she pulled from the hug. we just stood there for a solid two minutes looking into each other's eyes. 

"my plane takes off in three hours, i had spare time to reminisce." i let out a little laugh and looked away so she couldn't see the truth in my eyes. i came here because i was hurting and i needed to remind myself of the good times we spent. i came here hoping i would open my eyes and be sitting here still, with faith on that night. hoping everything was just a daydream and i would wake up to faith snapping her fingers in my face and telling me its time to head home. 

"well i'm glad you did" she said as she grabbed my face and directed it back over to meet hers. she leaned into mine and put her forehead against mine. she looked up into my eyes and said three little words. three words i thought she would never say to me. just three words that mean so much and are so powerful, and as she said that phrase, she leaned into me and placed her gentle soft lips, that just murmured the most powerful thing anyone can ever say onto mine and that's when, everything had changed.
