Adopted By Matthew Espinosa (Hayes Grier)

Chapter 25

CHARLOTTE POV.

After we all ate our sandwiches I fell asleep again. I was pretty exhausted. Dad had to leave because he had some important meeting of some sort, so Nash and Hayes stayed with me. I slept most of the time and when I wasn't the nurse was checking up on me. "Now, I am going to take your bandage off and have a look at it," The nurse said as he walked into my room. "Um, okay," I replied as I sat up in my bed. "Okay," He said as he started to unwrap my bandage. "That looks pretty good," He said as he started to touch it making me squirm around because it still hurt a lot.

I turned my head to look at my arm, there was a massive scar running down my arm. "You should be able to go in an hour or 2, I don't see any reason for you to stay the night," The doctor said before he wrote something in his 'note book' and left. I was pretty relieved that I was able to be able to go back home, I hated the hospital. I later got discharged from the hospital. We drove home in Nash's car as I sat in the back seat. I was so tired I fell asleep.

We later got home. Well I can't really remember it because I was still asleep. I woke up in my bed, not knowing what time it was. I got up and walked downstairs slowly. There were lights still on so I didn't assume it was that late.

"You're up!" I heard Hayes said as he jumped off the couch and came running towards me and gave me a massive hug. "Where is everyone?" I asked as I pulled away from the hug. "Well, Nash went to be like 15 minutes ago and Matt just got home from his meeting," He replied with a smile. "Oh cool," I said as I walked to the couch and sat down with Hayes following me. "How you feeling?" He asked as he looked at me. "Pretty good actually," I said with a small smile. "That's good, do you want something to eat or drink?" He asked ever so sweetly. "Um, a drink would be nice," I replied with a smile.He walked away and came back with a glass of water, he knows me too well. "Thanks," I said as I took the glass of water as I touched his hand. Hayes then sat beside me as we watched a movie. I felt my eyes getting drowsy, I leant my head on his shoulder and I felt sleep overtake my body.

I woke up to the sun hitting my face. I opened my eyes and I was still in the living room, but there was no sign of Hayes. I sat up and ran my hand through my hair that was all tangled and messed up. I stood up and I walked up the stairs, no sign of anyone. I walked pass Hayes room that was right next to mine to see him sitting on his bed. "Hey," I said as I stood in the door way. He stood up and walked towards me with no shirt on. "Hey," he replied as he hugged me. "What's wrong?" I asked as I looked into his eyes. "Nothing I was just thinking," He said as he walked and sat down on his bed. "What about?" I asked as I sat beside him. "You," He replied as he looked up at me. "What about me?" I asked as I started to get nervous. "Um, how.. um amazing you are," He replied. "Aw, that's so sweet," I said as I started to blush and hugged him.

I later had a shower and got ready and all the other guys were up by then. I walked downstairs and saw Shawn with dad and Nash at the kitchen. "Shawn!" I shouted as I ran up and gave him a hug. "How are you?!" He shouted back at me with a smile on his face. "Pretty good," I said with a smile. "What brings you to the palace?" I said as I laughed. "Well, I am going on tour and I want you to come with me," He said as he looked over at dad.

"Wait what?" I asked with a blank face. "Well you have such an amazing voice and I don't have an opening act or anything so I thought of you," He said. "But, I'm not even that good, besides I have school," I said as I took a seat beside dad at the table. "Char, your better than you think, besides you have home schooled so when you're not singing you can do you're school work. Please just think about it," He said pretty convincingly. "Well, um I guess," I said as I smiled. "Well if it's okay with you dad," I said as I looked at him. "Of course it is!" He said as he gave me a massive hug.

"When are we going?" I asked Shawn after I hugged him tightly. "Well, that's the thing. The first concert is in less than a week so we have to leave as soon as possible," He said as he looked at me. "Um it's up to dad," I said as I looked over at him. "How soon?" He asked. "Wednesday?" Shawn said. "Wait tomorrow?" Nash said. "Yeah, I know that it is really late notice but I had to talk to my manager and make sure that it was okay," He said really quickly. "Do you want to go Char?" Dad asked. "How long for?" I asked as I stood next to Shawn. "Around 3 months," "Is anyone else going?" I asked. "Yeah Hayes, he told me last night," Shawn said. It all clicked. That's why Hayes was so weird this morning!

"I will go!" I said as I ran up and hugged Shawn tightly. "Thanks so much Char!" He said with a massive smile. "What's going on?" Hayes asked as he stood at the bottom of the stairs. "Char is going on tour with us," Shawn said as he had his hand over my shoulder. "Really?!" "Yeo," I replied with a smile. "I am so sorry I didn't tell you!" Hayes said as he hugged me tightly. He was so warm which made me feel safe. "It's okay, I get it," I replied with a smile. "Guys, were still here," Nash said which made us all laugh.

"Are you coming dad?" I asked as I walked over to him. "No, you will be okay though, I will call you all the time," He said as he smiled. "Okay!" I said as I hugged him. "Well, I better go but I will come and pick you guys up at 6," Shawn said before he hugged us and left. It took a minute to click. I am going on tour!!!!!!!! "I need to go and pack!" I said in a really girly voice as I ran up the stairs. I was so excited words cannot describe.

I started to pack everything in my room. Literally. Let's just say I needed a new suitcase.. Or 3. I packed the 'important' things and I was ready I guess. I was extremely nervous.

"Hey," I heard a voice say as I was on the ground trying to fit everything in my suitcase, I turned my head and saw dad standing there. "Hey," I replied with a smile. "Do you need help?" He asked as he started to walk over to me. "Yes please!" I replied as I sat on the ground with Bell. "Do you think I can take Bell?" I asked. "Probably not Char, you're going to be on a bus for 3 months," He said as he did up my suitcase. "Thanks," I said. "I am going to miss you," He said with a small smile. "I am going to miss you too!" I said as I hugged him tightly.

After spending the day packing and cleaning and even more packing I was pretty tired. I decided to go to sleep after playing cards with Hayes, he won. Actually he smashed me, let's just say I am not a card person, well a good one anyway. I went to bed and I was having an amazing dream, I can't even remember what about but my stupid alarm clock went off which meant it was 5. I got up and had a quick shower and then got changed into my blue jeans with my plain white shirt with my black doc martins. I went downstairs and everyone was already awake and ready.

I quickly had a drink of chocolate milk before Shawn was here. I said my goodbye which was extremely hard. I ended crying when I said goodbye to dad. I was going to miss him so much! "I love you," He said as he hugged me. "I love you too," I replied with a smile before I walked away. "You guys ready?" Shawn said as we got in his car. "Yeah," I replied as I looked out the window at dad and Nash before we drove away. I have to admit this was going to be pretty amazing. More than amazing! I was just going to miss dad and Nash so much. At least I have Hayes..

That boy stole my heart.
