Will I Ever Get It Right?

Will I Ever Get It Right? - Chapter 29

Aly’s POV

It was safe to say the next few days at the house were a little hostile. We had all put on happy faces for Noah but once he left there was barely goodnights said amongst the four of us and the fact that it was partially my fault was getting to me a little. I mean, inwardly I knew that me and Nate getting together and a potential messy break up happening could’ve affected the group but I didn’t think it’d affect things like this! It was almost as if any opportunity I had to speak to Nate about what had happened was gone now and that he didn’t want to give me the time of day, not that I blame him. Much as I hated to admit it, that stung a little. 

First things first, I have to fix things with Hayley.

Hayley’s POV

Okay so I don’t know what I’ve done that was so horribly wrong, but whatever it was, Aly isn’t happy with me. Things are so tense right now and I hate it! I just, I want her to talk to me but its not my place to tell her what she should do… I guess I gotta wait for her to come to me…

Liam’s POV

Everyone just needs to calm down… if Al doesn’t talk to Hayley tomorrow I think I’ll make her do it myself!

Once they fix things, hopefully her and Nate can fix things too.

Nate’s POV

I really wish Aly would come to me. I just want to explain to her so that things can go back to the way they were. We’re both just too stubborn for our own good! Ugh if I just hadn’t bumped into that girl at the party everything would be different now…

Aly’s POV

Today was the day.

I was finally gonna be more like my old self, I am gonna start, I decided, by fixing things with Hayley.

The boys had left early this morning to play basketball together or something, leaving Hayley and I alone round the house while Julie was in and out, running errands but Hayley wasn’t exactly taking today to bond over hot chocolate or anything - not that I blamed her.

I spotted her on a log near the edge of the lake, listening to her iPod. I took the opportunity to apologize. Walking over to her and sitting down, I waited for her to take out her headphones before I spoke. “Hey.”

She gave me a glance. “Hi.”

Sighing, I continued. “How’re you going…?”

“Good yourself?”

“I’ve been better.” I paused, turning to face her. “Hayley I’m sorry. I’m so sorry for yelling at you and being totally rude and unappreciative oh my God I don’t know what I was thinking I’m sorry! I miss you and I want my best friend back!”

“Aww Aly! Its okay! Its alright come here!” She brought me into an embrace and said “I’ve missed my best friend too! And I’m sorry for interrogating you about Andre, he’s a nice guy and I should’ve known you weren’t gonna do anything with him especially with the whole Nate thing being unresolved.”

We broke apart and I asked “So we’re cool right?” 

She nodded and smiled. “You know, its always amused me how we’re so quick to blow each others heads off but then we make up in like five minutes the next day.”

I laughed and nodded. “I know right, thats why I love us.” I paused, hesitant. “So question… have you spoken to Nate lately…?”

She gave me a knowing look. “Even if he had brought up your whole situation, which he hasn’t, its not up to me to fix things, its up to you, and you know it is. Stop being so stubborn and talk to him already.” She said exasperatedly.
