Love Finds a Way

Chapter 11: Remembering & Paradise

Hayley's pov :

We'll never be as young as we are now- tapping my alarm clock desperately to stop I wake up and look at the mess that is my room. What the hell happened last night? Trying to have some sort of memory from last night I remember leaving Dan on the couch. Shit. Dan. Jumping out of bed I tried to be as quiet as possible and made my way to the couch. Sleeping like a baby. Now to make breakfast. I didn't think this through last night I have absolutely nothing to make breakfast with. I could go run and make a quick stop at the store and leave Dan here or I could watch Tv and wait until Dan wakes up so he can guide me to the store because I'm the type of person to get lost in a store within 4 minutes if I don't have a clue as to where I am.

Great now the waiting game. I'll just put some music softly and start to get my flat together. It's only half past 7. Wow and I thought I had slept in. This reminds me of all the times I would go to sleep at 5 am during a school night only to wake up at 6 to start to get my things together. I'm the type of person who sleeps an hour and is energized for the whole day. And when I sleep for more than 7 hours I get so tired. Anyways let's get krunk with some All Time Low. Singing Kicking and Screaming whilst whispering isn't fun at all. Instead of jumping and dancing and screaming the lyrics I whisper. How fun. (Note the sarcasm)

It's only 8:15 and I already got my wardrobe, coffee table, and my music stand set up. Talk about a heavy sleeper with all the damn noise I was making I was surpised Dan didn't even flinch.

I always procrastinated to make my bed but I got it done and when I did I decided to text my 12 year long best friends Helena and Jackie. When it was her birthday I would always sing to her Helena by My Chemical Romance. To Jackie I would always sing Dear Maria Count Me in by All Time Low because her second name is Maria. That joke never got old. She eventually gave into it by the second year and just laughed along with it. I missed them so much.

I remember always telling them that I would make it to Manchester and live somewhere near enough to take the bus and make it on time. They never gave up on me no matter how big my dreams were. They would always tell me the same thing "If your dreams don't scare you you're not dreaming big enough." My dreams scared the hell out of me. I always thought that I would never make it. But I did and here I am. I need to make sure to preserve some money to help them buy plane tickets so they can visit me in a few months. When I told them I got accepted they were so proud of me yet a bit sad. They wanted to have a sleepover and just hangout for one last time before I went off to Uni.

The day Adam broke up with me I told them everything and broke down. They always had their doubts about him but I didn't think much of it. Boy was I stupid not to trust them. I was blinded by his looks and taken with his love. But not his personality. Every week we would fight. God I would cry so much now I think it's pathetic. But without Helena and Jackie I wouldn't have survived. Helena and Jackie were always there for me they are my other half. We would have never made it through all those years in school without each other.

Remembering the time difference they are probably working their afternoon shift. Waiting for a respond I took out a picture of me, Helena, and Jackie out from my nightstand right next to my bed. Tears formed as I remembered the memories that were so crisp and I remember every detail of that day.

That day I remember we had been planning it for over two years. We saved some money in a mason jar and slowly filled it up with twenty dollar bills fives and sometimes fifties. I remember not having enough space in our wallets when we took the money out of the jar. We ended up using 4 different wallets. One for single dollar bills, another for fives and tens, one for twenties, and one more for fifties. We borrowed my moms Hummer and packed it up with multiple suitcases filled with clothes, straightners, and blankets. We filled up the tank got a few snacks and got on the road. We went to Venice Beach and saw the freakshow. I absolutely love Morgue. (If you know what I'm talking about high five to you and you're now my favorite person) after Venice we decided to sign in the hotel. And that took an hour to get to because it was in Anaheim but we didn't care it was the memories that counted. We rented a room with seperate rooms and a big bathroom.
