illinois boy | devin hayes |

fifteen

i stand there, starring at them.
"MOM!" i yell causing everyone to jump. my mom slowly walks in with grace.
"sweetie, im sorry.." i scoff and go to my room. i quickly make a bag to stay at graces. i pack devins sweats and tshirt in the bag. i grab my board and money and run downstairs

"where the hell are you going?" mom asks me.
"ellies." i say.
"no, youre not. youre staying here."
"no, im not. i know what you want, mom. you want devin and I back together. its not happening. we don't talk. i dont want a relationship like that."
"hayden, please."
"ill be home in a few days." i say and walk out the front door.

"HAYDEN!" devin yells. i keep walking until his arm is on my wrist. "please, hayden."
"no. you brought this upon our relationship."

with that i put my skate board down and skate towards ellies.

being with your bestfriend is always nice. your bestfriend is the one person you can always talk to. the one person who is always there to listen. can make you smile when you don't want to.

that's why I love my bestfriend. she's always there for me. never leaves my side. she would come to my house in the pouring rain if I'm upset. I love her.

-

its now the day after I came to Ellie's. I'm in Devin's sweats and T-shirt and I'm walking home.

im walking home when I see the popular girls from my school. I put my head down and speed walk past them. but that doesn't work.
"hey, hayden." one says. I ignore her and keep walking. "don't walk away from me." she growls. I'm pulled back by my hair. I don't make a sound. it'll only encourage her.

I'm thrown onto the ground. a food connecting into my stomach. I sit there and just take all the hits her and her two friends are giving me. what feels like hours later, they finally finish and leave me in pain on the ground.

I groan as pain goes all over my body.
"shhh. its okay." I recognize that voice. its Ellie's mom. "come on. I'll take you home." I groan as she helps me up.

we finally get in her car and drive to my house.

-

when we finally get home, Ellie's mom carefully helps me out.
"I called Ellie. she's skateboarding over here." I nod and lean against her as we walk up the sidewalk to my front door.

"Tracy?" my mom says opening the front door. "what happened?"
"I found her in the park. I was driving by and saw teenagers beating someone up. I saw it was hayden and helped her here."
"thank you."

they help my in the house and lay me on the couch. my mom lays a hand on my stomach, causing me to scream in pain. I clutch my shirt as I hear several footsteps come down the stairs. I see my mom crying. tears well up in my eyes.
"what happened?" Devin's voice booms. I relax a little knowing he's here.

the front door opens and slams. then Ellie's face is in front of mine.
"oh my god." tears are already going down her cheeks. "I should've have let you walk home alone." I shake my head. that causes more pain to spread.
"we need her shirt off. I have to see if there's any cuts." my mom says. oh good thing I put a sports bra on.

with help, I sit up and my shirt comes off. after some screams in pain.
"d-devin." I cry. I see him smile some and walk to me. he sits on the couch. me sitting on his lap. I nuzzle my face in his neck and cluth his shirt as my mom cleans several cuts.

"turn around." my mom says. i carefully turn around and lean into Devin's chest. he kisses my temple. I smile lightly. five minutes later, she's done with my back and stomach. now she's going to my face. she wipes the blood off and cleans the several cuts off. Ellie grabs some ice packs and sits them on my face as I lay down.

I giggle. she giggles.
"I'm going home with mom. be careful and get rest." I nod and feel her kiss my cheek. her mom does too and then leaves.
"we've gotta go too, devin." what I think is Aaron says.
"okay. be careful."
"bye, hayden. feel better." I smile.

one by one, all the boys and girls kiss my cheek and leave. I sigh.
"I'm sorry, devin." I say. he sighs.
"I'm sorry too. I should've made time to text you. I was stupid." I sigh. "please forgive me and take me back." I giggle.
"I forgive you and I take you back."
"and please put your shirt back on." I roll my eyes and move the ice packs. I sit up and put his shirt back on. I lay down, devin laying beside me. I lay on my back, devin laying on his side and his face in my neck.

his lips kiss my neck. I shiver from the touch.
"I missed you."
"I missed you too, babe." devin says. "I have some news."
"what's that?"
"I'm off the digi tour."
"really?"
"yeah. I have to work on my music and I wanna be with you." I smile.
"that's good news."
"it is." I giggle and kiss his lips. his hand goes go the back of my neck, not letting go of it. I giggle and kiss him back.

once he pulls back, he cuddles into me. I giggle more and watch tv.

I missed him. I really really missed him. the months he was on tour. the weeks we barely talked. the little texts I received. I missed him.

I know I made a mistake breaking up with him but like I said, we always work our problems and shit out. we never really leave each other. we always fix it.

"I love you."
"I love you too, princess."

I smile. ten minutes later he's asleep rubbing circles on my side. I smile and fall asleep with a smile on my face and playing with the promise ring he got me.
