Chapter 11

The Cowsills - Some Good Years

Colleen was in the factory bathroom showering. She started thinking about things that happened before Hunter left.

"Now Blister..." said Colleen.

"Blitz!" said Blitz.

"Whatever. The point Hunter is trying to make is WATCH WHO YOU'RE BLASTING!" Colleen shouted.

"You have a way with words." said Hunter.

Next, she remembered riding on a motorcycle with Hunter.

Then, she remembered something after their big break began.

The two were nude in Hunter's bed. They'd just stopped kissing.

"Are you sure about this?" asked Colleen. "I don't know what to do!"

"It's okay." said Hunter. "It's my first time too. We'll start slow, okay?"

For the next few minutes, Colleen remembered the night they both lost their virginity. Then, thoughts came to her. They were each the first ones each of the other mated with, Hunter rejoined the Road Rovers and said it was because he wanted to get back with her and then, just recently, Hunter gave her a jacket so the other guys wouldn't see her. He kept her from getting even more embarrassed. What were all these? Signs? And having remembered the good in what used to be their relationship, most specifically their big night, was she falling back in love with him after eleven years? She decided to leave all this unanswered as of right now and get out of the shower.

Next, Colleen realized something. The only spare clothes that were left were on the dead guys downstairs. She then wrapped her blanket around her and left the bathroom.

Meanwhile, Shania was walking by a room Hunter was in when she noticed him crying.

"Hunter?" she asked and walked inside.

"How do you know my name if don't know yours?" asked Hunter.

"I'm sorry." said Shania. "My name is Shania Dodd."

That was when Colleen, still wrapped in the towel, stopped outside the room and started listening to the conversation.

"What's wrong?" asked Shania.

"I've screwed up with Colleen." Hunter cried.

"You've given her a coat." said Shania. "You might grow back on her."

"Love doesn't work like that!" Hunter shouted. "You can't do stuff and expect to be forgiven! I don't even deserve to be forgiven, but it's not like she will!"

He then cried more.

"Don't you think the slightest bit, there may be a possibility she's gonna forgive you?" asked Shania.

"No." Hunter cried. "If I'd just saved Muzzle and let them put me to sleep, I would've never been able to break her heart!"

Colleen started crying. She felt like she was the reason Hunter was so upset and hated hearing him talk like that.
