Fantasy

Chapter 5

When I got downstairs I texted Hayes, in hopes he would be awake.

To: Love of my life😘🔥
Hey. I know it's 4am, but I can't sleep. I just had the worst nightmare. I hope I don't wake you up and if you are already up, than that's perfect. I just need someone to talk to. I love you so much.

I got a glass of water and lay down on the couch. I'm tired but I'm not. I turned on the T.V. There's always nothing good on in the middle of the night. I ended up playing one of my saved episodes of 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians'

It's such a stupid show, but I love it.

*Ding Ding*
I heard my textone and immediately checked my phone.

From:Love of my Life😘🔥
Hey baby. I'm awake. You didn't wake me up. I can't sleep either. Do you wanna come over? I wouldn't mind the company.

I would love to go to Hayes' house right now. I love his house. It's almost identical to mine, because they were only a block away on the same street. But the vibe in his house is great. And I LOVE Elizabeth. She's been like a mom to me. Any time I've had mom or dad issues I've talked to her. She's not bias and she always knows what to say. Sometimes I'll even go over when Hayes isn't home just to chat with her

To: Love of my Life😘🔥
I'd love to come over. My mom isn't home for some reason which is making me even more paranoid. Can you come pick me up?

I sent the message.

When my mom was divorcing with my dad she had anxiety issues. She would always leave the house in the middle of the night and just drive. When we moved to North Carolina she had a big breakdown. She stayed in her room for days. She would cook Maeve and I meals but she wouldn't talk. I really hope she's not going to be like that again.

I heard my phone go off but i also heard a knock at the door. I'm really scared right now. Who could it be. I walked upstairs. Very quietly I opened my balcony door which overlooks the front door steps. I looked down and it was Hayes. I ran back down to the front door and opened it.

"YOU SCARED ME SO MUCH OH MY GOD I THOUGHT YOU WERE SOME PERV OR SOMETHING. THAT......"

His lips hit mine. God. I can't describe this feeling. He just gets me some type of way.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and he, being Hayes grabbed my ass. Things were getting pretty heated.

"Catch" I mumbled in between kisses. I jumped up and straddled him. He held on to me. In this moment although I was in a very intense make out session, I felt so secure. He walked over to the couch and put me down. He then proceeded to hover above me.

"I'm sorry" he said.

"For what?" I'm very confused

"That this had to happen to you. That you had to go through this"

I didn't want him to continue because I didn't want to think about it right now. I was just about to kiss him when the door flung open. And there stood my mom.

"Shit" I mumbled.

"Bethany Burling what are you doing up at 5 am in the morning."

Hayes had gotten off of me quick when he saw my mom. And luckily I don't think she saw

"Mom I'm so happy you're okay"

She seemed kind of out of it. I feel for her though.

"I'm fine sweetie. Oh hi Hayes. Why don't you two go upstairs. I have to go pick up Bren and Sydney soon."

They were flying in at 7, and my mom being her, will be there early.
Sydney is my younger cousin. She's 9 years old. I really miss her actually. We lived really close when I was in Canada. We would see each other all the time. And she went to my elementary school when I was in Canada. I came to North Carolina when I was about to go to high school. So I'll be in grade 10 next year. My aunt was awesome too. She loved me so much. Before Sydney was born, she was always over at my house. And she took me to my first concert too. the Spice Girls. I met them as well. It was an awesome day!

Anyways, I'm very excited to see them. They will be here for like a week. Schools almost in, so they will have to go back. We've planned a trip over Chirstmas break. We are going on a cruise. I'm VERY excited. Hayes is coming too. My aunt LOVES him like crazy. It's funny.

Overall I can't wait.

But they are coming for my sister. For her funeral. How is it a good thing.
I started crying and Hayes noticed. My mom was walking to the kitchen. We agreed that we should go upstairs and try to go to sleep. We were walking upstairs. I was in tears. It's crazy. I'm sure you all already know what I'm feeling. This pain. This guilt. And I don't know why. We got up to my room and I went right to my bed. I stopped crying and asked Hayes to come over. He was looking at my photo wall thing that I have. It's a wall in my room where I put all my photos. I have a Polaroid camera, so that's basically all the pictures.
He smiled and came over. He slid under the covers and we were spooning.

"I love you" I said.

I turned around and faced him.

"My mom was awake when I left. She that you can stay with us if you want. She knows what it's like to stay in a house where you have constant memories."
That would be great I thought.
"That is an amazing idea"
I curled up with him. He put his chin on my head and I dozed off. This boy makes me feel so special. He totally made my mind focus on him and not what's going on. I love him
