Don't Tell Me

Chapter 6: I Miss You

"Stephanie! Come on, we're leaving!" her mother calls to her from down stairs.

"I don't want to freaking go!" she yells back nastily.

There was a long silence and then, "Stephanie Marie McMahon get your ass down here this damn second!" Came Vince as he shouts from his office.

She hated this shit. Having to go with her parents everywhere, it sucked. She never got to be alone at home anymore. She knew that she lost their trust by dating some one, but it had been 2 months already. Couldn't they just forget it? Apparently not, but she did turn 18 in a week and a half. Then she would go find Hunter and they would live happily ever after, hopefully.

"Mom, why can't I spend the week with one of my friends or something?"

"Because your little boy toy might come around. And besides, you haven't seen your Uncle Rod in such a long time."

"He's not a 'boy toy' mom. His name is Hunter and I love him."

"I DON'T want to hear that kind of talk from your mouth young lady. You don't even know what love is. You are only seventeen years old. Now go get your bags and get in the car. We're leaving in 5 minutes."

"Fine." She stomps upstairs and grabs her suitcase off the bed. Once downstairs and outside she throws it in the trunk of the four-door Sudan and climbs into the back seat. After Vince makes sure that nobody has forgotten anything they take off down the road.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hunter looked at his calendar. Eleven days until he could see his beloved Stephanie. Though her parents had forbid him from ever coming to their house again, he was still going to be with Stephanie. That is if she said yes. If she did then her parents could never break them apart. He had the ring and everything. Now all he needed was for the eleven days to go by faster. That was going to be the tricky part of this plan. He then pulls his cell phone out to call her. She ought to be at her Uncle's house by now. And seeing as Rod was lowlife scum that didn't give a crap about his niece, Hunter figured that calling her would be no problem. Finally after minutes of waiting her voice came across the line.

"Hello?" She said, answering her cell.

"Hey baby, what's up?"

"Oh, hi Amanda . It's so nice to hear from you."

"You're still with your parents?" Hunter asks casually.

"That's right, my birthday is in eleven days..."

"Ok I'll let you go, but you promise to call me when you get to Rod's, k?"

"Sure thing, I'll see you there."

"Alright, love ya babe."

"Ditto, bye."

Steph quickly hangs up and deletes the call from her phone seeing as her parents checked what numbers were called.

"What did Amanda want?" her father asks.

"Just to talk about the party, but I'll call her when I get to Uncle Rod's house though."

"Okay." Vince said and went silent

There was twenty more minutes just like that before they pulled up Vince's brother's drive way. Stephanie's cousin Jim came outside to help with Stephanie's bags and then went on to tell them that Rod wasn't home right now but that Stephanie could go up to the guest room. She did as she was told and said a quick good bye to her parents. Then she made a mad dash for up stairs and for the phone. She needed to hear Hunter's voice really bad. But the phone that was in the room was disconnected. There was no wire or anything to hook back up. The first thing that came to mind was to then call him on her cell, but when she took it out she found that she didn't have service in the house. This was just great, now she wouldn't be able to talk to her boyfriend for an entire week! Why did her parents have to be such ass holes?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hunter was waiting very patently for Stephanie to call. But that was for only a mere 10 minutes before he started to completely flip out. Immediately he was starting to think about all the bad things that could possibly happen to her, he didn't want to think about them but he had to. It was his duty as the boyfriend to be worried for her. So without even giving what he was about to do a second thought he raced out the door and to her Uncle Rod's house. He just hoped she wouldn't be to mad at him.
