Stephanie woke up the next morning. She was looking forward to talking to Kurt. She jumped out of bed and ran into the bathroom. She showered and then got out. She changed into a black pair of jeans and a black baby tee with pink sleeves. She smiled when she looked at her reflection in the mirror. She thought she look beautiful. Which she did. She was looking forward to today. Today was going to be a wonderful day, though she didn't know she would get her heart broken.

~*~

Kurt woke up, still feeling guilty. He couldn't lie to Steph, he had to tell her the truth. As much as he liked Steph, he never really found her that attractive. He always liked her as a friend. At the time he didn't know Steph would have feelings for him after the meaningless sex. Well, at least he thought it was meaningless. How was he going to break it to her? Now he regretted fooling around with Steph when she was married to Hunter. She would have been happy if it wasn't for him getting involved in their marriage they would have stayed married. Or would they?

~*~

Hunter woke up, and moved his arm to the right, finding no one there. He looked up and saw the spot next to him was empty. He looked over to the next bed and saw Chris still asleep. He cursed to himself, when he realized that he had dreamt of Stephanie. She wasn't really there. Hunter rolled over onto his back and stared at the ceiling. After staring at the ceiling for five minutes, he got up and went into the bathroom. He looked at himself in the mirror. For once, he didn't see the strong, powerful man he knew, he saw the weak, helpless, lonely man, hiding behind the power and strength.

~*~

Chris woke up, hearing the shower running. He sat up and glanced to his left. Seeing Hunter gone from the bed, he knew it was Hunter in the shower. Tonight was time to continue his plan. The first thing he had to do, which he already did was get the letter to Steph. Next he had to get Kurt out of the picture. Little did he know it would already be done for him. He smiled to himself, thinking about getting his friend and his boss back together. He just hoped everything would turn out right.

Hunter got out of the shower and changed in the bathroom. When he came out, he saw Chris already dressed, sitting in the chair watching some television. Hunter walked over and sat down on the bed. That's when Chris spoke.

"Good morning. How are you doing?" Chris asked smiling.

"I still fill like shit." Hunter frowned.

"Lighten up man, no woman wants a sad sack kind of guy." Chris said turning the t.v. off.

"No woman wants a fake." Hunter shot back angry for no reason.

"What the hell man, cool it. I was just telling you the truth." Chris said as he stood up from the chair.

"Damn it, she's taking me over again." Hunter said holding his head.

"What do you mean?" Chris asked pulling on his shoes.

"I know your telling the truth, it's just that she has this thing on me that makes me angry because I know I don't have her by my side." Hunter let out a deep sigh.

"Look, let's just go and get some breakfast." Chris suggested.

"Yeah, whatever." Hunter said standing up and walking out the door.

Stephanie walked down to the hotel café. She was meeting Kurt there for breakfast. He was going to talk to her about the letter. She just couldn't wait to see the smile on his face when he said he wanted to start a relationship with her. She smiled as she walked into the café and saw Kurt already there. She went over to him and sat down a crossed from him.

"Hey, how are you this morning?" Kurt asked the brunette in front of him.

"Never could be better. How about you?" Steph asked 'her' American Hero.

"I guess I'm alright." Kurt answered bluntly.

"Are you sure, you don't sound like everything is alright." Steph asked happily.

"Yeah, I'm alright." Kurt said looking down at his hands.

"O.k. if you say so." Steph started. "So, you wanted to talk to me."

"Yeah, I do." Kurt said looking back up to her.

"O.k. tell me." Steph smiled, happiness written all over her face.

"Steph, this isn't what you think." Kurt said taking her hand into his.

"What do you mean?" Steph asked her happiness fading away quickly.

"I read your letter over and over again. You thought everything meant something to me." Kurt started seeing a tear escape Steph's eye. "I can't lie to you Steph, not anymore. I used you. I used you when you were with Hunter. I only became your friend to get title shots and get inside Hunter's head. The sex we had, it meant nothing. I just don't find you attractive." Kurt finished.

By the middle of his speech, Steph was already crying uncontrollably. She hurt really badly. How could he do his to her? How could her American Hero do this to her.

"I really thought we had something." Steph cried out.

"I'm sorry Steph, I would still like to be your friend." Kurt said as she pulled her hand away from him.

"You think that after what you did to me, you can stay my friend. Well, you're wrong." Steph cried. "I hate you Kurt, I never want to see you again in my entire life."

Stephanie stood up, not caring that people were staring at her. She ran out of the café. When she ran out the café doors she ran right into Hunter. Hunter looked down at the person who ran into him and saw that it was Stephanie, and that she was crying. Steph felt the comfort of familiar arms wrap around her. She missed that touch. She opened her eyes and noticed it was Hunter holding her. Just like she thought. As much as she hated Hunter at the moment, she just wanted to be held by someone. Unfortunately in her mind it was Hunter, but far back in her mind and deep down in her heart she knew she missed him. She missed his scent, his smile when he was happy, his strong arms holding her, how he made her feel safe, and if you put it together she missed…him. She just couldn't find it in her heart to like or love him anymore, even though she did. Her mind was telling her to dislike and hate him.

~*~

Chris watched as Hunter held onto Steph as if for deer life. Chris smiled, but why was she crying. He looked up and saw the angry look on Kurt's face. He smiled inside, plan b was already taken care of, and he didn't even have to ask anyone to help get Kurt out the way. Kurt got himself out the way.

~*~

Kurt ran after Stephanie, when she started running. He didn't mean to hurt her. He had to convince her to let him still be her friend. If they weren't friends he didn't know what he would do. As he ran towards the café doors he saw Stephanie in Hunter's arms. This couldn't be happening. Kurt turned a dark red. He couldn't let Hunter get back into the picture. This would ruin his chance at being friends with Steph. Right now, he knew he couldn't just walk up there because he knew he would get his ass whopped for making Stephanie cry.
