Adopted By Matthew Espinosa (Hayes Grier)

Chapter 7

CHARLOTTES POV.

It has been a week since Hayes and I have started home schooling and it has been pretty good. I haven't heard from Luke or Taylor in a week and it has been fun with dad and the guys teaching us. Aaron is definitely the best teacher. I woke up at 7 this morning, I was normally the first one awake in the house. I woke up and walked down stairs to get a glass of orange juice. I was the first one up like usual. It was my birthday in 2 days and dad and the guys wanted to celebrate it with me with a party, but I haven't had a party before my mom and brother was alive. I didn't want all those memories to come back.

I was watching tv when Nash came down stairs. "Good morning," He said as he said down beside me on the couch. "Hello," I replied. "How did you sleep?" He asked. "Okay, it is so much better that I'm not sharing a room with Hayes anymore, he was a really loud snorer," I said before we both started to laugh."So what do you have planned for today?" He asked. "I think I am going to do my English and Math homework before Aaron comes over and then I will probably watch tv or something," I told him. "Sounds fun," He said sarcastically.

We were talking for almost an hours until dad got up. He had breakfast and I talked to him while he was eating. I decided to go and have a shower and do my homework before Aaron comes over, otherwise I will be in deep trouble. "I'm going to have a shower," I told the guys before I got up and walked upstairs. I always told the guys when I was having a shower or was in the bathroom because the bathroom didn't have a lock, and I didn't exactly wanted people especially guys to walk in on me.

I got all my stuff from my bedroom and went into the bathroom. I decided that I would wash my hair today, which normally takes 15 minutes. I got in the shower and I started to sing like I do everyday. I was washing the shampoo out of my hair when the bathroom door opened. "What the heck!" I yelled. "Oh, um sorry!" Hayes yelled before he slammed the door. I was so embarrassed.

HAYES POV.

I just woke up and decided to go to the toilet before I went down stairs, I heard singing and I thought that Charlotte was in her room. I opened the door to the bathroom to see Charlotte in the shower. "What the heck!" She yelled before she turned away. "Oh, um sorry!" I yelled before I slammed the door. I have to admit it was pretty stupid what I did. I quickly ran downstairs to see Matt, Nash and Cam sitting at the table. "Hayes, are you okay?" Nash asked looking at me. "Well, um, I just kinda walked in, on Charlotte, in um, the shower," I stuttered while looking at the ground. Cam started to laugh but stopped by looking at the seriousness on Matt's and Nash's face.

I didn't know what to say or do, it was pretty stupid. "What do I do?!" I asked as I sat down beside Nash. "You didn't do it on purpose did you?" Nash asked me. "Of course not! I'm not that stupid!" I replied. "I wouldn't be sure," Cam said starting to laugh again. Next thing I knew Charlotte walked down the stairs. The room went quiet, even Cam stopped laughing which said a lot. "Char, I am so so so so sorry! I should have..." I started to say before she cut me off. "It's okay, really. Can we just not talk about this again?" She said before she started to walk down the stairs while she looked at the ground. "Yep," I said trying not to look at her. She sat down beside Matt and the room was still silent before the front door opened and people came in. It was Jack Gilinsky with that Kate chick, Jack Johnson and Taylor.

"Kate!" Charlotte Yelled before she jumped off her seat and hugged her. "I've missed you so much! How's your new house?" She asked. "I've missed you too Char, the house is ok, the people are really nice though but I spend most of the time with Jack," She said before Charlotte pulled away from the hug. "Yeah, you and Jack," She said winking. "Yeah, that's right," Jack said with a smile. The room went silent after that. None of us knew about Jack and this girl, "So, what do you want for your birthday?" Taylor asked trying to crack the silence. "I don't know, I have everything that I want," She replied with a smile on her face. Her smile made everyone happy, especially me.
