Chapter 24:The CC.

Hunter's POV:

I stormed out at the end of my interview and ended up getting a phone call. By the end of it I was pissed off and found myself in some random hallway and I punch the wall.

"Why are you upset? I thought it went fine." Nova says when she finds me.

I sit on the ground with my back against the wall and my knees up. "My mother called."

Her mouth opens to form an 'O' and she just nods sitting beside me, "What did she say?"

"Um." I rub my hand over my face, "Basically I am a disappointment.. She doesn't want to talk to me anymore.. I am not the son she raised.."

"So I ruined your relationship with your mom.." She says before grabbing my hand.

I shake my head and swallow as I try to speak, "Never."

"Yeah I did." she adds quietly.

"It wasn't you, it was a rocky relationship to begin with." I sigh. She sighs too and nods, "Look I am willing to lose her if I get to keep you.. I am willing to lose them all as long as I have you."

She smiles a little and hugs my waist. "I much rather have this family here, and my grandma, that's all i need. I am just ready to get out of this damn state."

She nods and rubs my back, "Back to California?" she asks with a smile.

"Oh yeah we leave for Cali at the end of next week, we have an awards ceremony and stuff."

She smiles, "Yep, and that means you are going to properly meet my family. All of them."

I smile a little, "Good since you will be my wife soon." She grins and nods and I sigh, "Plus you have already met mine."

"Yes yes let's just forget that," She smiles. "C'mon darling smile, it's good for you."

"I am not in the mood for smiling."

She rolls her eyes playfully and smiles a little "I think I can change that."

"How?" I question.

"Come with me," she says standing up. I groan and stand up and she holds out her hand, "Now gimme your phone."

I hand over my phone, "Its not locked."

I watch her turn it off and then do the same with her own, "No phones, Phones are bad."

"You need to have yours on.. it could be an emergency.."

She sighs, "fine I'll keep it on vibrate." She puts it in her back pocket and take my hand, "now we walk." She smiles and walk outside.

I walk beside her, "Where too?"

"Wherever we want," She smiles and pulls me close. "So tell me a funny story from your childhood."

I sigh, "I can't think of anything funny my sister tortured me mostly.. or I worked. The only thing I can think of is when we were out riding and my horse wouldn't move so I like tapped it but it slid me off its back and I landing in the pond."

"Okay, thennnnn come with me," She starts to drag me to the park and to a small pond.

I try to pull back, "What are you doing?"

She plops down and pulls me down with her, "sitting."

She splashes me with water and drag me from some thoughts. "Nova," I sigh, "I am thinking of going to see my parents.."

"Why?" She asks with a frown.

"I need to try to talk to them, I was going to see if Taylor will come because she is a country artist on this tour too.."

She rolls her eyes, "Okay, good for her."

"I need my parents to understand.." I sigh and stand up. "Sorry."

She gives me a smile that I can tell is fake, "Okay well we should go back. I'm sure you two want a good night's sleep." I can tell she is gritting her teeth when she stands. I know she hates Taylor but I guess she doesn't understand that I need to do this.

"You head on back I need to call Taylor and see if she will go." She shakes her head and quickly walks away.

CC's POV:

I walk outside in my Pj's after Juliet pushed me out of the bus saying something about a new security guard. I turn and see a friend from my childhood, "JENN!"

"CC!" she squeals running and jumping on my back. "Gotcha."

I smile, "You're here! I can't believe you're here oh oh and I got new puppy Pj's!"

"How could I not see my best friend!" She smiles, "I LOVE your new puppy Pj's!"

"Yea! Andy thinks its funny," I frown and put on the hood. "See i got a hood oh and a tail," I twirl around trying to grab the tail.

"You're gonna make me dizzy, cc!" I hear her giggle, "And Andy is wrong, it's adorable."

I stop twirling, "Sorry I am trying to find the tail."

She grabs my tail, "Here."

I smile, "There it is." I laugh, "Oh i got some skittles too they are in my pocket."

"Skittles?" She asks excited.

"Yep you know they have always been my favorite."

"Same here buddy."

"Want some?" She nods and I reach in my pocket bringing out skittles and we eat some. "So how long have you been here?"

She shrugs, "Not long."

"So uh what do you do?"

"Security, You know I am not talented."

"Don't say that you still do youtube right? You were good at that."

She shrugs, "Not good at it but I still do it."

"You are i watch it every day you upload a video!"

"Really?" she asks and I nod before dragging her off to do some fun things.

Tyler's POV:

I went to Target today with a few others but got lost in the clothing section, although I found a pink scarf, blue shades and fake bunny ears to put on.

Taylor S walks by shaking her head, "I don't wanna know."

"Hey Taylor!" I shout waving.

"Are you talking to me? Because I don't know who you are."

I take off my shades, "Taylor it's Tyler and CC was somewhere."

"Dude. It was a joke. I knew it was you. You just look...odd?"

I laugh, "I know."

Taylor smiles, "Wait... We have three Taylor's on the tour."

"Three? I know two, that's you and the other one."

"I could have sworn there was three…"

"I'm Tyler not Taylor," I offer.

"This is information I know." She says rolling her eyes at me.

"Yeah," I laugh. "So can you help me find CC because I lost him in here."

"I guess." She shrugs.

"Thanks," I smile.

"No prob."

We both start walking and it took about 5 minutes to spot CC with a target bag, eating skittles. "Heyy."

"There you are," I say smiling.

"Hey CC," Taylor adds.

CC holds out the bag to us, "Want a skittle?"

"No thanks, now where did you go?"

"I told you I needed dog food, new collar, dog treats and some more candy,"

"And they say I am forgetful," Taylor butts in.

We all laugh until CC starts heading for the door, "Oh yeah, Lucy is outside come on we have to go before someone steals her!"

I pull all the stuff off and sit it on a shelf before following them out, "You love that dog don't you?"

"Obviously."

"Even, I could have told you that." Taylor adds.

"So CC I heard you got yourself a girlfriend."

He nods, "Yeah she asked me out with a bag of skittles."

"Oh wow she knew exactly what to do huh?" I ask.

"She is my best friend," he states simply.

CC's POV:

I bring Lucy back to the bus and check the calendar before texting everyone that it was my birthday!

Andy comes on the bus, "Oh hey it's Lucy." He smiles and starts to rub her, "Adorable, I am thinking of getting one soon."

"Well that will be great for you," I answer.

Suddenly the door flies open and Jenn jumps in, "Happy Birthday CC!"

"Hey Jenn Jenn!" We both laugh, "Oh yeah Jenn you remember Lucy."

"She is so cute!" She squeals and Lucy barks.

"I think she said she knows, she tends to be a sassy diva." Jenn giggles. "Oh yea I cooked dinner and It's way better then how andy's cousin cooks he keeps trying to burn down the house."

She smiles, "That's not too fun to burn a house down."

"Yeah I would kick him out but you know, but it's Andy's cousin and I'm trying to teach him how to use the oven properly."

"Oh Joe, how has he been?" Andy asks from the couch where he rubs Lucy.

"Good I think, but everytime I go home he is trying to burn the house down or make ice coffee."

Andy laughs, "Every time I go over to his place I'm either hiding from that crazy girl or I she someone I had recently sleep with or something like that." (Sorry I have no idea what the last part is it's to confusing)

I shake my head and Jenn comes to me, "Hey cc, can we go talk?"

"Yea sure come in the kitchen with me I have to check on the food."

She walks behind me as I go to the stove and stir the meat for tacos. She never did ask me anything but we easily finished dinner.
