Last Summer

Chapter 4

*Hayes P.O.V.*

I walk down stairs and check the time on my phone. Dang 11:37 a.m. already? I walk into Nash's room.

"Hey Nash can I talk to you about something?" I ask him.

"Sure anything."

"Well would it be bad to fall in love with your best friend?" I say as I look at the wall.

"That's random but uh I think love is love and if you like someone then go for it no matter what anyone tells you."

"Okay good!" I blurt out.

"Cause I think I like Addison... Like I don't know cause the other day we were out walking and she just looked so perfect, And it got me thinking. But like what if she doesn't like me back. I asked her if she had a crush on anyone and she was talking about this guy who seems so great. She said he has brown hair and blue eyes and is nice and caring. How am I suppose to compete with him right?!" I stop realizing I was ranting and Nash was probably getting confused.

"Dang man, you've got it bad." Nash says while laughing.

"Like I don't know what to do?" I say to him.

"Just tell her."

I get up and walk out of the room. So that was pointless I think to my self. Im right back where I started.

*Addison's P.O.V.*

I wake up and start getting ready. Today was the day me and Nash were suppose to go to lunch. He's like my older brother and I like spending time with him. I grab my purse witch had my journal in it and left. Nash was already out in the driveway with his car. I hopped in and said:

"Hey." I buckled my seatbelt and we left.

When we got there we sat in a booth across from each other. Then we order.

"So have you talked to Hayes lately?" Nash ask me.

"Um. Not since the other day why?"

"Oh uhh. no reason just wondering." He said quickly.

Nash was acting weird. Weirder than normal. Suddenly our food came. We ate in silence. Then we got up from the table and Nash left a check.

"Im gonna wait in the car." I tell him.

When he finally comes out we drive back to his house. We go inside and instantly as I walk inside Hayes looks up from his videogames he's playing on the couch and says:

"Addison!"

The biggest smile I've ever seen spreads across his face and he hugs me tighter than he ever has. This is getting so hard. I embrace the moment while it lasted. When he lets go I notice Nash walking back up stairs with something in his hands. I suddenly realize what he had in his hands...My journal! It must have fallen out of my purse when Hayes hugged me. Without thinking I run up stairs. Hayes follows.

"Hamilton Nash Grier! Give me back my journal now!" I say as I barge into his room.

He was sitting on his bed reading it.

"Wait this is yours?!" He shuts it and I snatch it from him.

"What did you read?!" I say.

Hayes is right there watching the whole thing.

"Um...." He studiers.

I tried to hold them back but tears streamed from my eyes. I ran down stairs.

"Nash what did you do?!" Hayes yells.

I was sitting on the couch crying like a little baby.

"Nash can we talk alone?" I say to him as he walks down the stairs.

"Sure." Then I follow him into his room and he closes the door.

"So...You know now don't you?" I say.

"Um yea." He says as he rubs the back of his neck.

"Look im really sorry."

"Its okay...Just, Just don't tell Hayes please. I don't want him to know."

He shakes his head and we walk out of his room. Hayes is standing by the front door looking concerned/Confused. I must look like a raccoon with the mascara under my eyes.

"Im gonna go." I say.

"Are you okay?" Hayes says.

"Kinda." I say as I left.

Diary, Well now Nash knows, Hayes was by the door so im guessing he probably has some what of an idea.

Do you think he heard the talk to know I like him?

I can't even imagine what Hayes is thinking about. Geese so much confusion I can't even think straight.
