Adopted By Matthew Espinosa (Hayes Grier)

Chapter 36

CHARLOTTE POV.

We just got back home. I'm actually happy to be back. Chicago was a complete disaster. Lets just say that Hayes completely hates me. Nash is angry at me for what I did to Hayes, which I feel horrible about! Daniel, well lets just say that I won't be hearing from him for a while since what Hayes said to him. And dad, well his so angry at me that he said he was sending me to boarding school.

Yes, boarding school! Like how did I go from being home schooled to automatically going to boarding school! "Let's go," Dad said not even looking at me once he got out of the car and started to walk up the long drive way. "Great," I mumbled to myself as I followed the other guys and started to walk up the driveway as well. "Surprise!" I heard screamed as dad and Hayes walked through the door as me and Nash stood behind shocked.

"What's all this?" Dad asked as I continued to walk inside to see the Jacks, Kate, Shawn, Bri, Taylor and Carter standing around the living room with huge smiles on their faces. "You guys didn't have to do this, really," Dad said seriously as he walked up stairs. I have never seen him this mad before, it kinda scared me.

"What's wrong with him?" Carter asked as he started to pat Bell. "Charlotte," Hayes said before he walked upstairs as well leaving every one that was in the room staring at me. "What did you do?" Kate asked as she leant on Gilinsky. "I honestly don't even know. If he maybe talked to me then maybe I would possibly know. But I don't," I said in one breath as every kept staring at me.

"Come on Charlotte, you broke up with Hayes again. You started to flirt with another guy in front of him, and may I mention he was one of his friends," Nash said standing directly across from me. making me look at the ground in guilt. "And we tried to do something nice for you and you didn't even appreciate it!" He said with disappointment in his eyes. "So what now I am going to boarding school because of that?" I asked as every one stood quiet in the room.

"No, you are going to a private school, it's like boarding school but it's not. Besides, we weren't that good at home schooling anyway," He said before he walked upstairs leaving me in the room with the other guys and girls. "Well, anyone want cake?" Carter asked as he took a piece of cake and started to eat it trying to break the silence. "Seriously Carter?" Taylor asked. "What? Who doesn't love cake?" Carter continued to say before I stormed upstairs.

I was pretty angry to say the least. But I guess I was angry because I knew that Nash was right, which made me feel terrible. I layed on my bed for a while until I fell asleep. I was suddenly awoken when I heard people walking and whispering in my room. I popped up in shock. "What are you guys doing here?" I said as I looked up to see Kate and Bri standing in my room.

"Well we wanted to check on you," Bri said with a small smile on her face. "Yeah, well I'm fine," I said as I sat up. "You sure?" Kate asked as she sat beside me. "Yes, positive," I lied as I put on a fake smile. "Okay, well we are going to go now but Carter and Taylor are going to stay here for a bit," Bri said as she came over and hugged me. "Oh okay, well see you soon?" I asked as I hugged them both. "Of course," Bri said with a smile before her and Kate walked out of my room.

It didn't take me long to get hungry so I got up after listening to music for almost an hour and went downstairs. As I walked out of my room so did Hayes. He stopped to look at me for only a split second before walking down the stairs totally brushing me off. Well thanks. I then went downstairs as well to see Carter, Taylor, Nash and dad all sitting at the table as Hayes was eating a sandwich.

They all looked at me as they saw me standing there. "Hey girl!" Carter said in the weirdest tone. "Hi," I said giggling to myself before I walked over to the fridge. I felt eyes staring at me assuming it was dad, so I turned around but instead I saw Hayes crystal blue eyes staring through me. He stopped staring once he realised that I saw him. So he gave me a weird look, not a nice look which kinda hurt.

"You okay?" Taylor asked as he snapped me out of my daydream. "Um, yeah," I said as I turned my head slightly to look at Taylor. "Okay," He replied not believing me. Trust me, I wasn't even believing myself. I walked back upstairs because the tension in the room was remarkable. As I walked pass Hayes' room I saw him just sitting on his bed. Not moving. Not doing anything, just sitting there. "Hayes are you alright?" I asked as I just stood at the door with and apple in my left hand. "Not really thanks to you," He said as he looked at me with hurt written all over his face.

It broke my heart to see him hurting. So I just walked away and went in my room. I messed up so bad this time. And the thing that is even worst than this whole situation is that I don't think I can fix it this time....
