Chapter 9: Leaving

Katie's POV

I started to open my eyes and see the light. I stayed still and kept my eyes closed, not ready to get up yet. I managed to open my eyes and saw a bare chest. I rubbed my eyes, confused. I look again and noticed I was in a bed with FREAKIN HAYES GRIER. He was sleeping with a slight snore and had me encased in his arms while I was right up against his chest.

How'd we get in this position? I asked myself. I could've sworn we went to bed on opposite sides of the bed. I guess we were meant to be. I was thinking of getting up, but it felt nice. I could hear his heart beat, which was soothing. I snuggled up into him, not wanting this moment to end.

I felt Hayes shift and his eyes fluttered open. He looked at me and smiled, then suddenly realized the position we were in and blushed. Since he blushed, I blushed. It just works that way.

"Good morning." I said while biting down my smile. "Morning" He said. Woah his morning voice is irresistible.

I got up to see what position Dylan and Carissa were in.

Dylan and Carissa looked crazy with their hands and legs flailing all around. Dylan was drooling and Carissa's hair looked like a lion's mane.

"Oh My Gosh, Hayes, look." I said while we were both sitting up. "I ship it." I giggled while Hayes laughed. I snapped a picture.

I got up and freshened up. By the time I was done, Carissa was up.

"We have to go to our room now." I told Carissa. "Okay." She replied.

I walked over to Hayes. "Can I return the shirt later?" I asked Hayes. "No keep it," He said.

"Okay. Thanks. Um, we are gonna get going right now. Thanks, for everything." I said smiling. "No problem." He replied.

I went over and gave him a hug, while Carissa did the same with Dylan. "Thanks again!" I said while we walked out the door.

Carissa's POV

Katie and I walked down the hallway to our room in silence. I was thinking about everything that had happened yesterday and I knew Katie was thinking about the same thing.

I felt so sad. I didn't want to leave LA where I had the most fun I have ever had in my life. I didn't want to leave the place where I met the two funniest, sweetest guys in the world. I didn't want to leave, but I knew I had to.

I knew I had to get back to reality. I knew I had to go back to school and forget about this. I knew I was probably never going to see Hayes and Dylan again. And I knew that all of this would probably mean nothing to them.

We were just some fan girls who needed a place to stay because they stupidly locked themselves out of their room.

All of those thoughts flashed through my head in a matter of seconds.

Katie and I reached our room and she knocked on the door. Katie's mom opened the door so fast, the air pushed towards me almost knocked me over.

She suddenly yelled, "WHERE WERE YOU TWO!!! I WAS GETTING SO SCARED! DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN!" Then just as fast, she pulled Katie and I both into a tight hug, squeezing the life out of me.

Katie's mom sighed and brought us into our room. "Get packed, we are leaving in 20 minutes. We'll talk about what happened in the car," she told us.

Katie and I nodded our heads knowing it would be better if we didn't say anything to upset her mom.

Katie and I grabbed random clothes strewn across the floor and stuffed them into our duffel bags. I changed out of my swimsuit bottoms and Dylan's shirt and into gray sweatpants and my superman top.

I tossed my hair up into a ponytail, brushed my teeth, and did all that jazz. Katie was also getting ready and I could tell that she was feeling glum too.

We dragged our tired bodies outside our room, took the elevator downstairs, and started walking to the car.

I suddenly heard a male voice yell, "HEY, WAIT UP! YOU FORGOT YOUR FLIP FLOP!" I looked back and almost tripped over my own feet when I saw Dylan running towards me with Hayes trailing behind him.

Katie and I stopped walking and we smiled at eachother, filled with joy. Katie's mom just looked between the boys and us with her mouth hanging open.

Dylan reached us and Hayes also. Dylan sheepishly handed me my shoe. "Thanks," I said blushing. "It was no biggie," Dylan replied scratching his neck.

Katie stepped in and laughed, "No biggie? You were just screaming for us to stop walking JUST so you could give her sandal back!" Dylan blushed and looked down.

Katie's mom, after watching our little conversation, said, "Ok what is going on. Aren't these the two famous boys who were in the Digitour concert? How do you know them so well? How do they know you? Why does he have your flip flop-"

"MOM!" Katie exclaimed, "calm down and stop interrogating us! We'll explain everything on the plane ride back home."

"Wait you're leaving right now?" Hayes asked. "Ya," Katie replied glumly.

Katie's mom said, "Okay girls we need to get going we don't want to miss our flight back and we have to return our rental car!"

"Ok," Katie and I said in unison. Katie went over to Hayes and gave him a huge hug. "We'll see each other again, I promise." She said with a half-hearted smile. Then we headed into the car looking back at Hayes and Dylan, hopefully not for the last time.
