There's More To The Story

Hunter stared at Bianca. He didn't know he offended their feelings. He looked at all his friends, and all of them wore a hurt look on their faces adding more to his guilty conscience. 

"I would gladly get hurt or sacrifice my life if I have to die to save your life. That's what friends do for each other. Eric is pissed because you're asking him not to do that. Friends protect each other and stand by each other no matter what. Aren't you going to do the same if Eric was in your place?" Bianca asked rhetorically. She knew for sure that Hunter would die for them too if needed. 

Hunter lowered his head, closed his eyes and sighed before getting up from the sofa. "Bloody hell, it hurts so bad," he muttered and placed his hands on his hips. After taking several deep breaths, he took a few steps forward with much difficulty and reached Eric.
