Reunited.. (Hayes Grier Fan Fiction)

Chapter Four

Sarah's POV

Hayes, Matthew, Cameron, Nash, and Carter have all came for my graduation party. I was completely blown away.
When I saw Hayes, I'll admit it, he looked really good.

I do remember what happened five years ago. But, I just chose for it not to take over my life. I moved on. It was hard but I did. He never texted back so I gathered that he lost interest in me. People change.

"I had no clue you guys were coming. Best present ever." I smiled, bringing them in for a group hug.
"Glad you like our company." Nash smiled.
"By the way, you don't need to hang around me twenty four seven. You guys can go pick up some chicks." I laughed, nudging Cameron's arm. They all rolled their eyes. The guys then slightly chuckled, looking at Hayes.
"I don't need to pick up chicks. I need to pick up a drink." Cameron laughed, then slightly coughed.

Is he hinting something to the guys?

Before I knew it, everyone was already walking away to the punch bowl. Hayes and I are now alone.
"Were they planning to do that the entire time?" I chuckled, looking at them walk away. He chuckled.
"Probably." I looked up at his eyes.

Hayes's eyes were the same beautiful blue that I remember. Perfect and Endless. Quickly, I snapped out of whatever was going through my mind.

"Do you-uh want to go for a walk?" Hayes asked, obviously nervous.
"Sure." I smiled, as I guided us out of the barn.
"How long do you think this party's going to last?" Hayes asked, sparking up a conversation.
"Probably 11 because a lot of the people that came are family and people who go to sleep at around nine." I chuckled, looking at the ground. "What time is it even?" I asked, pointing to Hayes's phone. Which was in his hand.
"Seven." He checked then looked at me. I nodded my head.

As we were walking his hand gently brushed against mine.
During that split second when we touched, I felt slight electricity go through my entire body. I then looked up at him, and he smiled at the ground, blushing.
I smiled at him.
"Sorry." He murmured, looking at me.
"It's okay." I spoke back in the same tone.

No words were spoke as we were listening to our footsteps and the sounds of nature that surrounded us.

"I really missed talking to you." I stated, simply.
"Yeah. Me too." He paused. "Look, I'm sorry for not texting you back five years ago. I honestly don't even have an excuse to use. I don't know if you are still angry with me, but I just want to say I'm sorry." Hayes stated, looking at me as we slowly began to stop walking.
"It's fine. I was mad at you a while back, but it's fine now. Apology accepted." I smiled, then almost suddenly hugging him. He hugged back tightly as he rested his chin on my shoulder.

It now feels as if Hayes has never even left.
