Best Friends

The Hideout

"Om my god!! Jackson, you're not going home!! Ever... Again!!! At least if there home!" I screamed and started crying. I really felt bad for what he was going through. I just.... They need to stop. He won't let me tell anyone or do anything.

"Then, we're am I supposed to go??" He screamed back, also crying.

"Well, like I said, I have stayed here all night multiple times. I don't just sleep out here, I have a hideout. You can stay in there and it is totally safe. There is food and drinks in there. It is actually really cool." I replied answering his question.

"Okay thanks Hailey, I have one question, and depending on the answer, I may have a follow up question! But, can we get there first?" He said starting to die down with crying.

"Yeah, of course!!" I said back. I think I was actually crying more than him.

We got in my Kia Soul and left out territory. It was already 1:00 A.M. We had been out there since 4:00 P.M talking.

---10 minutes later---

We arrived at the hideout, he was the only person I had EVER brought out here.

"You know you're the only person I have ever brought out here?" I said.

"Really?" He asked.

"Yeah! Oh hit hit me with those question!" I replied back.

"Okay. Well how many rooms are in there?" He questioned weirdly like he had someone he was wanting to stay.

"Two. But you can't let anyone come up here, so why you want to know?" I stated.

"I know! I just wanted to know because remember I said I may have a follow up question, and I do."

"Go for it then!"

"This is gonna be awkward....like really awkward!" He warned.

"I don't care, either say it or don't, I'm bout to go home and go to sleep and you can call me or text me anytime you just want to talk or you need me!"

"Well... About that... My question is.... Can.. Will you stay the night here with me, I'm scared."

"Of course Jackson, but I'm going home to get my phone charger my phone is about to die and I'm talking to Taylor tomorrow when I wake up, I do every morning." I said back with awe.

"Can I come with you, I don't want to be alone. I know I'm asking you a lot, it's just hard Hailey. I can't stop being scared." He said.

"Yes, Jackson, we can get my gun and keep it out here with us, if you want, just to be sure. I'm not going to let them hurt you Jackson, ever!"

"Thanks Hailey!" He yelled as if he won the lottery.

"No prob!"

-----3 hours later-----

We went home, I got clothes, and took a shower. We were already back it was 3 A.M. Jackson was asleep, he was making laughing faces, but no noise was coming out, he looked hilarious. Since he was asleep, I finally got a chance to call Taylor. Yeah, I know it sounds crazy to call someone at 3 A.M, but she was awake and if she wasn't then she would call me as soon as she woke up. I put her number in and called her.

"Hey it Taylor! What's up? Sorry I missed your call, I call you back when I can!! But leave your name, I don't want to call my stalker back!!" I tracked her voicemail. I didn't have to tell her it was me, she had my name in her phone. I was just about to say something to her vm, but my phone started ringing "Something's Gotta Give" which of course was her.

"Hey sorry I didn't answer I was in the kitchen!" See I told you she would be up!

"It's fine! But you remember when we talked about....Jackson....umm....you know......?"

"Yeah why? Did he confess?"

"No, but I'm starting to feel the same way. Since tonight we were supposed to go to his place and watch a movie, I was with him. But we left the movies and went and just chilled and talked all night! It was soo fun!!"

"Hailey, I really wish both of y'all would just confess!!"

"I will when he does. I just hope that's soon!! He is just so sweet!! I just, I don't have to worry about him being some horrible person because we have always been best friends! So I know everything about him!!"

"Exactly that is why you're soul mates!! I just know y'all are and I've known you both far to long to be wrong about this!!"

"I know right!! Well I think I'm going to go to bed, I'm really tired. Good night boo!! Luv ya!"

"Good night, luv ya too, Hailey Roo!!"

Taylor has always called me Hailey Roo, I've never understood why. Jackson does sometimes just not as much as Taylor. Jackson calls me insulting monkey names. Taylor and Jackson don't really have as much of a connection. They're both like my best friends, but not as much each other's. Like they know everything, basically, about each other, and they consider each other best friends, but I guess since I know them so well, I know they're really not. I don't even think they realize that.

I fell asleep thinking, then I woke up at 10 A.M, before Jackson. So, I started cooking waffles.

--Jackson's pov--

I woke up to the smell of waffles. I walked into, I guess, what you would call the living room of the shack.

"Woah, Jackson, with all that messed up bed head, please tell me you brought a comb?!?" Hailey said across the room.

"I didn't come prepared for anything with everything that happened last night."

"Good thing I have a brush in the bathroom! Come here, I'm going to do your hair a favor!"

I sat down and let Hailey brush my hair. No one has ever brushed my hair before, because my mom and dad, if that's what you want to call them, have never been there, and girls don't ever like me. It felt really good to have someone slowly go through it, I always just rush. When I looked in the mirror, it didn't even look like it was my hair. It was actually really good looking.

After we are Hailey lied down and took a nap while I played Clash Of Clans in my phone. Last night was weird. I woke up at 3:15 to Hailey talking to someone. I think it was Taylor. I heard her say she was starting to feel the same way about me, did that meant she knew I liked her? Did that mean she liked me back? She said she would confess if I did. I'm still going to wait I'm to scared.

When she was brushing my hair this morning, she looked perfect. She has her black "emo" styled hair, that went a little bit past her shoulders, straitened perfectly. She was wearing her favorite black skinny jeans, even though it's 90 degrees outside, and her All Time Low shirt on, and she had her makeup on. She loves All Time Low, she lived a lot of bands really. I loved her. She was just so perfect to me, while everyone else called her horrible names even though she has never done anything bad/wrong. People are so stupid

--Taylor's pov--

I just wish Hailey and Jackson would quit bidding there love for each other. They were completely and utterly meant to be. Hailey and Jackson were both so stupid not to notice that. It's like reading a incomplete book, waiting to see what happens next with Romeo and Juliet.

--Hailey's pov--

When I woke back up I started thinking. Jackson didn't have to worry about what I was thinking about either, he didn't know I was awake be was in a different room. I was actually thinking about him matter of factly. I was thinking about his perfect hair when I brushed it. How perfect he was. And how cute he was, and of corse how adorable he was in his sleep. I just don't know when to tell him how I felt.

I walked down stairs too the living room of the shelter and started talking to Jackson.
