Hunter fell silent for a while.
"It's nothing, don't worry about it," he said, forcing a smile on his face. "So, uh, about that car accident you were in… do you want to talk about it?"

Kenzie blinked a few times and bit her lower lip. She cleared her throat and quietly spoke, "Well… My dad… uh… he was kind of an… alcoholic. One night, in the middle of winter, he was drunk. I had been spending the weekend with him 'cause my mom would let me visit him every once in a while. Well… He, uh, decided that it would be fun to just… um… go on a car ride. But, being drunk, that obviously wasn't the best idea." She laughed a little darkly, lifting her head and turning away so that Hunter couldn't see the tears that were forming in her eyes. "We were on the freeway, it was icy, my dad decided to speed, we slid, went into the ditch, and I woke up in the hospital. What a memory for a ten-year-old, huh?"

Hunter wrapped his arms around Kenzie, pulling her towards him. She was trembling slightly, and if there was anything Hunter knew about Kenzie at this moment, it was that she was crying. Hunter never wanted to punch someone as much as he wanted to punch Kenzie's father for putting her through such a thing.
He cupped her face and softly kissed her eyes.
"I'm sorry you had to go through that," he whispered. "I promise you, I will never do that to you."

A few tears slipped down Kenzie's face, landing on Hunter's shirt as she rested her head on his shoulder.

"It's okay. I'm fine, really. I haven't even seen him in over six years…" she trailed off, thinking about her father. Whispering, she admitted, "He did love me, though. Honestly. He just… didn't always make the best decisions…"

"I know a thing or two about bad decisions," Hunter joked, trying to lighten up the mood. "Do you want to see your dad?"

Kenzie bit her lip.

Do I? He hasn't even tried to see me after the order for protection was lifted. Maybe he doesn't want to see me… her thoughts trailed off, and a soft sob escaped from between her lips. But… Yes, I do… She nodded, and a few more tears rolled down her cheeks.

(That's sad. Why do these things always happen? I can't speak for all authors, but I'm very stubborn about a character's personality and their life before the book takes place. Mostly it's tragic, but I do have some that aren't. Why I do that? I honestly dunno.)

(Every author ever)

(Phew, thank goodness, I'm not the only one)

Hunter hugged Kenzie tighter, rubbing her back softly as an attempt to comfort her. He didn't say anything, just held on to Kenzie as she cried.

(Did you see what I did to Hunter?)

(laughs nervously Yeah…)

(Did you see what I did to Hunter?)

(Yeah, I did. Also, I will be very stubborn about how Luna reacts to Jasmine and even though I know I can control Luna, she has a very specific personality which I won't change no matter what.)

Hunter hugged Kenzie tighter, rubbing her back softly as an attempt to comfort her. He didn't say anything, just held on to Kenzie as she cried.

Kenzie silently cried, held in Hunter's caring arms, for a few minutes. Thoughts raged through her mind about her father: how he used to hug her tight before she left after their weekend was over, how he used to tease her about her obsession with books, the little surprises he'd always get her when she visited him.

(You're the mother. That personality is created by you.)

"Tell me, Kenz, do you want to see him?" Hunter murmured again. "Because I can arrange that. Maybe he didn't come to see you because he felt guilty. Maybe he thinks you hate him. If you want to see him, tell me and I'll take you there."

(I was going to have Kenzie have a happy backstory… But, then… this happened…)

(I think of what I write as my own kids. The characters I make, everything.)

(Well, every author ever. Look at what Uncle Rick's done to everyone.)

[Ok then. (Also I'm sorry for the actions of Luna, I know you will be mad at me but it's just how Luna is)]

"Tell me, Kenz, do you want to see him?" Hunter murmured again. "Because I can arrange that. Maybe he didn't come to see you because he felt guilty. Maybe he thinks you hate him. If you want to see him, tell me and I'll take you there."

"I haven't seen him in six years!" Kenzie exclaimed, lifting her head. Tears flowed freely down her cheeks now, and the ones that hadn't escaped her eyes made them glitter sadly. "Of course I want to see him. But there are things that happened that prevented me from seeing him for two years, and then he never even tried to see me these past four years after."

"Maybe it's because he's afraid, Kenzie," Hunter said softly, wiping her tears away. "He might be afraid that you hate him, that you never want to see him again. He might think that he screwed up and that he's not welcome anymore." he paused, before speaking again. "But that depends on what happened in those two years you mentioned."

Kenzie pursed her lips and looked away. Standing, she paced the room a couple of times before coming back to face Hunter.

"My mom started dating this guy when I was twelve, and somehow my dad found out. Like I said, he doesn't always make the best decisions… He, uh, found the guy's number, called him, and threatened to kill him," she took a shaking breath and looked at her hands. "My mom and her boyfriend got an order for protection against my dad. Including me in it. So, for the next two years, I wasn't allowed to see him. At all. No contact whatsoever. Then, when the two years were over, I thought they would let me see him again. But I never dared ask. So, now, almost four years after it was lifted, I still haven't seen him."
