He's Not Perfect {Hayes Grier Fanfic}

-10- Drunk Hayes is Cute

"So he totally just blew you off?" Reb asks two days after the whole Connor slapping me and Hayes no helping me incident when I'm back in Houston.

"Yeah, when I called him he said he had to go and I heard a girl say his name."

"Still the same dumbass I suppose." She says stirring her shake since we sit in Steak N Shake.

"I'm not sure because he was wasted. And Hayes does not get wasted."

"How do you know he was wasted?"

"He was wasted." I sigh thinking about it all. I finally realized how much I had messed up choosing Connor over Hayes. I wanted Hayes. And even though it took me forever to realize it, I do. But he was gone now. And I had lost my chance yet again.

"This Hayes thing is always so complicated." Reb comments and I can't but agree. Things are only perfect between me and him for a little while before everything just erupts into drama and pain.

I just shrug and decide to change the topic before I get even more depressed about this situation. "So how's it been being preggo?"

"I guess it's been alright as far as pregnancy goes. I mean Cam has been helping me so much and I get to eat a lot and blame it on a baby so thats nice too." She says grinning and I can't help but smile. I can't believe her and Cam are going to be parents in a few months though. It's crazy how everything changes sometimes.

"You wanna do something after this?" She asks turning on her phone to see what time it is. After seeing it's only half past eight, I agree just as my phone starts to ring.

Hayes.

"Hayes is calling." I inform Reb, wondering what's the deal now. I mean of course I'm glad he's calling cause I want him but I'm also still a little sad since he totally blew me off the other day.

"Well pick it up." She demands and I shrug and answer it.

"Hello?" I ask hesitantly and already hear music pumping in the background of wherever he is.

"Amberrrrr!" Hayes shouts almost bursting my eardrum and I can immediately tell that he's had a few drinks again.

"Hey Hayes." Is all I say waiting for him to tell me whatever he called for.

"Can you please please please pick me up? Pretty please?" Yup he's drunk.

"Pick you up?" I ask and Reb raises her eyebrows from across the table.

"Pleaseeee my frienddleft and and I don't have a ride and i dunno how to get home..." Hayes slurs talking fast and tripping over his words.

"Dude he's begging you, go pick him up." Reb commands, to my surprise able to hear Hayes through the phone. Well he is kind of yelling.

"Uhm okay Hayes, where are you?"

"I-I don't know. There'ss a lot of peopleand it's really really loud and there's-"

"Are you at the Penthouse?" I ask, remembering a pretty popular club downtown.

'YES THAT'S IT!" He screams making me jump back from my phone.

"Okay, okay, I'll be there in 10 minutes."

"Thank youuuu Amber, thank you thank you thank you thank you thank-"

"Yeah okay." I cut him off his drunk thank you's and hang up. I turn to Reb and she wiggles her eyebrows.

"Guess I gotta pick up this loser."

30 minutes later, I'm driving to my house with Hayes babbling beside me about who knows what. I decided to take Hayes to my place since I know Olivia and Will are out together and I wouldn't want Hayes in Will's apartment alone.
