Chapter 16: Another Break Up

It's been too long since my last update. Sorry about that, but I've had a lot on my mind, what with school starting and everything. I've been too nervous to even think about my stories. There's a lot going on by me, in the northeastern United States. Maybe you've heard about huge Hurricane Ivan down by Jamaica. To any readers from there, I'm very sorry about all the damage. At least the eye didn't hit. Not much consolation there. I hope it doesn't reach me, because last week, the remnants of Hurricane Frances hit, and it flooded out the train stations. Luckily I didn't start school that day, but I can't go to school soaked and like an hour late this week. I don't know if this story will be up today or tomorrow, but I'm writing this on Sept. 11, and I'd like to say sorry for anyone who lost someone three years ago. It doesn't feel like three years ago, it feels like a week ago. I don't really feel three years older. Okay, some more sad news. The end is coming. There will be between one and three chapters left, not counting this one, and I don't know if there will be a sequel. I kind of have an idea, so I'll see. Stay tuned. Thank you to all my reviewers- yeah, 89!!

Hunter's POV

I rang the doorbell and waited for Bree to open the door. It was time to break up with her. Bree came to the door, looking out of breath yet stunning. You couldn't deny that she was good looking. Bree's smile faded when she saw the troubled look on my face. "What's going on?" she asked me.

"Can I come in?" I asked. Bree nodded and stepped aside. She led me to the living room and sat down on the plush leather sofa.

"What's going on, Hunter?"

"Bree, I know about the spell that you put on me. My feelings have mostly gone. You need to give me the stone so I can remove the spell and purify it."

Bree took a deep breath and I saw her cheeks turn pink. "I'm very sorry, Hunter. It's just… I like you so much, but I knew I could never have you. I can't believe I did this to Morgan, my best friend. I'm such a slut."

"No, you're not Bree. I understand how you feel. Many witches have considered using love spells, including me. It's a common part of a witch's teenage years. Sky's friend put a love spell on a guy. The guy found out about it, but he had grown to love her, so he forgave her and they just went on. But we can't do that. I love Morgan."

Bree nodded, and I saw tears in her eyes. "I knew we never had a chance. I thought a spell was the only way we could be together."

"Did you think I would never know?" I asked

"I thought you'd never know," she reiterated. "Are you getting back together with Morgan? If she won't take you back, I can talk to her."

"Thanks Bree. I'm going to leave now. I'll see you around." I turned and walked out, feeling as if I'd forgotten something.

Bree's Diary Entry That Night

Hunter broke up with me. I didn't expect this at all. I'm worried that he will tell Morgan everything. I'm so pathetic. I can have any guy except the one I really want. I'm hoping that I won't owe Morgan an explanation, that she will take Hunter back. Hunter wanted to remove the spell and purify the stone, but he forgot. I never forgot, but I'm not going to give it to him. I want him to still have some feelings for me, even if they are artificial. Who knows, the stone might come in handy sometime…

Bree

Morgan's POV

I sensed Hunter coming up my walk and was very surprised. I hadn't spoken to him since the supermarket incident. I thought about not answering the door, but Hunter knew I was here. I opened the door and saw him sanding there. My heart fluttered. I couldn't help it.

"What do you-" I was cut off in the middle of my sentence when he kissed me hard. I thought about responding but instead pushed him off me. I could see the hurt in his eyes. "What the hell are you doing?" I asked, outraged. "You're with Bree!"

"Morgan, can I come in? I owe you an explanation."

The answer came to me quickly. "No."

I was about to shut the door in his face when he said, "Morgan, please, I love you!" I froze with my hand on the door. Hunter took advantage of this and slipped in. "Morgan, I need you to listen." He took my hands in his. "I want to get back together."

"No, Hunter, we're through. Besides, you're with Bree."

"Not anymore. We broke up. Please listen to why." I nodded reluctantly.

Hunter headed to the living room, and I followed. As soon as I had sat down, Hunter launched into a story about how Bree had put a love spell on him. It seemed so far-fetched to me. I didn't believe him. When he finished, Hunter looked at me expectantly. I shook my head. "I don't believe it, Hunter. I don't believe that Bree put a spell on you. That's so stupid. I said I was never going to take you back, and I'm keeping my word. Just go."

Before I could do or say anything else, Hunter walked over to me and put his hand on my cheek. We were doing a that meanma (AN: I hate how my computer translates it to 'that meanma.') And suddenly the truth was right there in front of me. Bree had put a love spell on Hunter. I couldn't believe it. Bree, my best friend, was in love with my boyfriend and had put a spell on him so they could be together. I felt betrayed. Hunter pulled away and shakily sat back in his chair. "Do you believe me now?" he asked. I nodded numbly, still trying to process the information. "What do you say, Morgan? Will you take me back?"

AN: This is probably the last cliffhanger of the story. Or have there even been any cliffhangers in this story? Anyway, I'm still trying to figure out if Morgan and Bree should break up. What do you think?
