No One Like You. (Jace Norman fanfic)

Chapter 9

Hailey's POV.

It's only 3:15, so I have plenty of time to get ready for the date. I rummage through my closet and grab a white crop top and black leggings. I changed and put on a white pair of brown knee high boots. By the time I'm done its 4:00.

I go downstairs and watch tv for an hour and a half.Which means I have an hour until Jace gets here, I'm pretty excited because it's my first date.

I go on Instagram for a while and like some celebrities posts. Then I get on Twitter and post a tweet,
"Life is good."

I hear the doorbell ring and I turn my head to see if it's Jace, but it's my neighbor Greta, "do you have any sugar I can use?" She asks.

"Yeah I'll get you a bag." I say.

I run into the pantry and grab a bag, then run back to the door.

"Here you go."

"Thank you sweetie." she says as she pinches my cheek.

I lock the door and sit down on the couch. I get back on my phone for a while and then walk up to my room and listen to music. I look at the time and it's 6:45.

I start feeling hopeless and look out my window, there's no sign of him. When the heck is he gonna get here?

My phone lights up and I look at it. Jace posted a pic on his Instagram of him and some friends drinking Starbucks.

Wow I can't believe he stood me up! This is why I never trust any boys.

I change into some comfy clothes and start reading "The Scorch Trials". Reading takes me out of reality and puts me in the characters shoes.

Jace starts calling me, but I decline it.
He starts calling me over and over, but I decline every time. He leaves a couple of voicemails.

Message #1: hey. Look I'm sorry for standing you up, but the cast all went out for Starbucks and I didn't know we'd be out late. I really like you and I want to start this over. Would you like to hang out tonight? Please answer.

Message #2: Hailey you have every right to be mad at me, but please pick up the phone. All I have left right now is hearing your voice message. I really want to see you.

I close my eyes and go to sleep.

Great I'm probably gonna have a crappy day tomorrow.

•••Next Day•••

I wake up earlier than I usually do, probably because I am feeling like crap. I take a quick shower and change.

Outfit

•Teal crop top
•High waisted shorts
•White knee high converse
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I brush my teeth and put my hair in a side braid.

"You hungry?" My mom asks while knocking on my door.

"Um, I just brushed my teeth." I say.

"Okay, but make sure to take your vitamins." she says.

"K mom." I say.

I walk downstairs and turn on the TV to watch the news.

News: The high temperature today will be 87 and the lows are around 65-70. Next segment on why squirrels like nuts.

I turn off the TV, grab my purse, and walk out the door.

"Bye dad, Bye mom!" I yell.

As I'm turning around I feel someone poke me. It was Jace.

"Dear God you scared me." I say.

"I'm really sorry about last night." he says looking down.

"Jace I don't have time to talk I have to work." I say.

"Can you just please listen to me?" He asks.

"You have one minute Norman." I say tapping my foot.

"I really missed you last night. You're probably thinking I'm a jerk and I have a reason to believe that, but Hailey I need you." he says.

He put me in shock.

"Y-you need me? After last night you need me??" I ask pointing to myself.

"Yes! I need Hailey. Hailey Henderson." he says.

"Um... Wow. I didn't know that someone would need me." I say shocked.

"A lot of people need you, but you just don't know it." he says grabbing my hands and pulling me in for a hug.

"Jace I literally need to get to work or I'm dead." I say.

"Bye." He says while leaning in for a kiss.

"Yeah. Bye." I yell as I'm running off to work.

Was Jace Norman seriously about to kiss me?
