Age (Hayes Grier)

•Chapter 13•

When I woke up the next day, I was just shocked. This was my first time having a dream of when it all began. Was it time to move on?

"Let's go get breakfast? Try to clear your mind for right now." I nod. I walk downstairs. Elizabeth was making breakfast and Nash was playing with Skylynn. I sat and played with Nash and Skylynn.

"I think we should tell my mom?" Nash whispers.

"Are you crazy?! Hayes is still mad about it and we don't know how your mom will take it!" I whisper yell.

"You have a point. But she deserves to know."

"Fine! We'll tell her." I was mad at Nash too. He kept it from me. At least it wasn't one of those douchebags who are the father.

"Hayes, can you help me up?"

"I can help you." Nash says.

"I want Hayes to help me." Hayes comes and helps me up. We walk to the kitchen. We all sat at the table. I helped prepare the table. We started to talk about things. They laughed. And I couldn't keep it in.

"NASH IS THE FATHER OF MY BABY!" I say quickly. Nash chokes on his food.

"What Edith?" Elizabeth says.

"Nash is the father of my baby."

"Is this true Nash?" He nods. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I barely told Edith yesterday. And I was scared on how you would take it." Nash says sacred.

"I don't like or hate the fact that your the dad of the baby. I love it."

"What?!" We all says even Skylynn.

"I know Edith and Hayes have history and you guys are still into each other. But the fact I'm gonna be grandma is amazing. But next time use a condom Nash." I was surprised of what came out of her mouth.

"So your not mad at all?" I say.

"Nope. But I can't believe Hayes isn't mad."

"Oh I am. Since yesterday." He says while still eating and not looking at Nash or me.

"Oh my god. Can I tell everybody I'm having a niece or nephew?"

"No!!" Me and Nash say.

"Why not?"

"I don't want anybody to know I'm pregnant. I'll tell them. But the worst part is telling them who the dad is."

"How is that the worst part?" Nash gets mad.

"I'm not trying to say it in a mean way. I'm just trying to say that people will call me a even more names." With he calms down. "So we keep this silent, okay? When I'm ready, I'll tell them I'm pregnant." They all nod.

"Now that we know about it. Edith, will you move in with us?" Elizabeth says.

"I don't know. I have to talk to my uncle."

"Alright. In plus, you still have two more weeks here." I nod.

"Since we're letting out everything, Cam and Johnson are coming to NC." Hayes says.

"When?" I say.

"Tomorrow. Why?" Hayes says.

"Will Gilinsky come?"

"I don't think so why?"

"I'll tell you later." Hayes nods.

"Anything else, we have to talk about?"

"I had dream about everything happen when my mom died."

"Oh my god. Are you okay? How do you feel?" Nash says.

"I'm okay. I don't know how I feel though. I feel like I should look at the letter my mom left me."

"You still haven't read it." Nash says. I shake my head.

"I wasn't ready. But I think I am now."

"Are you sure?" Hayes says. I nod. We finally finished eating and we all clean up. I go upstairs to the guest room where I have been sleeping. In my suitcase, I always leave the three pictures I have with my mom and the letter. Its in a little pocket. I grabbed the letter and the three pictures. I started to cry. My mom looked so beautiful and happy. Everyday of my life, I wonder why she did it. I opened the letter. There was a necklace in it. It had like a purple rocks and the necklace of it was a black string. It truly looked beautiful. I open the letter.

"Dear my beautiful Edith,
I love you with all my heart. You're my only girl. You're my princess. You're my angel. I know you feel lonely. But I'm here with you. Protecting you. Being proud of you. And I know you're heart broken because you lost someone very important to you. I'm sorry. I couldn't handle the pain no more. Please don't think this all your fault. Because it isn't. I knew I couldn't be in this world without your uncle, Ramon. He meant a lot to me. Just the way, Nash is for you. I also did it because I couldn't live in this world no more, it was full of crap and lies. I have you, your dad and your brothers to be a live for but I'm gonna be honest. I hate life. It was always full of mistakes. It was a world I couldn't live in no more. I'm sorry. When I saw you very happy, I was happy. But I knew the moment I do this. You won't be the same. But I need you to be happy. Fall in love. Create a family. Have an amazing career. This necklace is for you. I got this for my birthday but it will look beautiful on you. Please forgive me. I'm sorry for everything. I love you Edith Summers. More than anything in the universe. Take care. -Love Mama Summers." I read it out loud. Nash and Hayes hug me.

"I forgive you, Mom." I say while crying even more. I started to call my uncle.

-Phone Call-

C: Hey Edith. How is it there so far?

E: It's been great. So Nash and Hayes's mom wants me to move here with them.

C: Okay. Do you want to live there?

E: Yes. It will be a great and their mom can help me a lot in parenting.

C: Alright. Are you sure you want to do this?

E: I'm sure.

C: Okay. What about all your clothes?

E: Give them to charity. They won't fit me anymore and I'll get new clothes.

C: Okay. Love you, Edith.

E: Love you too, Chico.

C: Bye.

E: Bye.

-End Of Phone Call-

"That went pretty well." Nash says.

"I know." I start to cry.

"Why you crying?" Hayes says while wiping away my tears.

"It's the baby harmonize. And I also just read my moms letter. And this can change everything." Hayes helps me put on the necklace.

"I love you too, Mom." I whisper.
