The Story Of Us (Hayes Grier)

Chapter 5 ~ For Now

~Emma~

I take slow steps to the door, my breathing heavy and my heart pounding out of my chest

"Hello?" I call

The closet door slowly opens, along with some creaking of how old the house is

A tear rolls down my cheek, or maybe it's sweat

But what I see next, makes my heart stop pounding, beating. A blood covered and half a no eye smiling face looks at me

My breathing picks up, but I can't move

It moves out slowly but not slow enough. Once it's fully out, it crouches down like a dog getting ready to pounce

"Please don't hurt me" I cry

It tilts it's head and just stares at me before screaming and pouncing at me

"AHHHH" My upper body shoots up and I scoot myself to the back of the arm chair. I feel my eyes nearly popping out of my head with my arms wrapped strongky around my knees keeping them to my chest. Everybodys heads shoot up from the ground and look at me with worry

Gilinsky gets up and turns on the light while Shawn runs over to me sitting next to me

He makes me scoot over a bit and sits with me wrapping his arms around me while I lay my head on his chest. I attempt to breath but it comes out shaky along with a sob

"Shhh it's okay" he said stroking my hair

About 2 minutes after my scream doors fling open and soon Nash and Hayes storm down the stairs to my side along with everyone else

"Em what happened? Are you okay?" Hayes asked throwing a million questions at me

"She just had a bad dream" Shawn said flatly, obviously annoyed

"I think she should go upstairs with someone, get away from this freaky ass living room" Cameron said looking around, spooked as well

"Scary movie wasn't such a good idea w-was it?" I ask trying to keep my voice as still as possible

"Here, I got her" Hayes says trying to get Shawn to move

"No she'll be fine down here with me- I mean us, she'll be fine with us" He corrected himself

"Who said you were her father?" Hayes spat

"Who said you were her decision maker" Shawn spat back

"I'm pretty sure she'd rather stay down here with men" Shawn added

"Oh I see men, but I'm not sure I'm looking at one" Hayes said making solid eye contact with Shawn

"Okay s-stop!" I shout

"You're both acting like children!" I say a bit quieter now

"I'm a person too, I should be able to make my own decisions" I say standing up and heading for the stairs

~Hayes~

She stands up and walks to the bottom of the stair case. She looks back at us

"Are you coming or not?" She asks looking at me with her arms crossed over her chest, as usual

I nod my head and she slowly walked upstairs to my room

I turn to the guys and they wiggle their eye brows, I roll my eyes

I look at Shawn and he looks mad. I smirk at him and walk up to my room

~Emma~

I walk into Hayes' room shaking, shaking, the door shuts once I reach the middle of his bedroom and my head shoots to the door. Hayes is leaning his back against it
