ch.18 "regret"

Hayes left the room and I was a wreck.

My heart was aching over a boy who no longer cared about me. I felt like there were holes in my heart, tiny missing pieces that he took with him that I could never get back.

Hayes Point Of View:

I knew it was going to end badly, I didn't want it too, but it did. And with Aubrey texting me at the worst possible time, was the icing on the cake.

I met up with Nash in the cafeteria, he was sitting there on his phone drinking a Mountain Dew and eating some Doritos from a vending machine.

His eyes followed me as I sat down with him.

"That was fast, how did it go bro?" He took a sip of his drink.

I shook my head. I was not prepared for another argument, especially here. I looked around and saw nothing but sad and sick people who wanted nothing but to go home. I didn't know what to say. I hated lying to Nash and I didn't want too, but that seemed like the only way out of this.

"Good, we're good. She seemed kind of tired so I let her rest up. I'm gonna go home and catch up on homework. I'll see you later"

I got up and walked away before Nash could even respond to what I said.

**At Aubreys House**

I walked in and saw her sitting on the couch in spandex and a t-shirt.

"Hey cute stuff! Wanna watch a movie?" She tried to be innocent but her eyes filled with evil. They turned a shade darker than ever before, she was up to something and I'm not really sure what, But I have a feeling that I'm about to find out.

She stuck her arm out for me to grab her hand as she led me into the room next door.

I sat down next to Aubrey as she cuddled up against me, her head resting up against my chest softly. I wrapped my arm around her as she looked through the movies.

"Screw it!" she tossed the remote across the room sitting up and placing herself on my lap. She wrapped her legs around my waist & cupping my cheeks kissing me roughly.

"I missed you so much hayes" Aubrey said between each kiss. Her fingers began to tangle in my hair.

I was in shock. Was not expecting that, at all. Aubrey broke the kiss for air and quickly removed her t-shirt and spandex. She then removed my shirt along with hers. We then continued to kiss as she traced her fingers down my stomach in small circles. Grinding her waist against mine.

Tess' POV:

I woke up a few hours later regretting my existence. I regret talking to Hayes and changing. I regret opening up to the wrong person. I regret taking a chance on a person I knew nothing about. Giving him the best parts of me, he didn't deserve to know me like that.

Next thing I know Nash is walking in with a smile plastered across his face so wide.

"Hey" he smirked as he closed the door behind him.

"What's up with you? Why you so smiley?"

He furrowed his brows while he took a seat on the couch by the window overlooking the city.

"Why aren't you all smiley? Didn't you & Hayes make up? Aren't you two together?"

I shared the confused look and then scoffed a laugh.

"What made you think that?"

"Hayes came to me and told me everything between the two of you worked out. That you're okay now? Then he left?" Nash said.
