Best Friend?

Chapter 4

- Annalise -

I ran into Nash's room in tears. My face stung and Hayes kept calling my name. Slapping a girl is no way to treat her. I jumped into Nash's arms. "What's wrong Baby Girl?" He asked me. Hayes used to call me Baby Girl. GET HAYES OUT OF YOUR MIND, ANNA. "Hayes. He s-slapped me." I managed to spit out. "He what?" Nash yelled. "He slapped me." I repeated the horrible words. Nash jumped out of his seat and went downstairs. I followed him.

"Dad! Nila!" He called. They rushed into the living room. "Hayes, he slapped Anna!" He managed to hold in his tears. Nila dropped her phone and Chad's mouth dropped open. "Why'd he do that, A?" Nila asked, picking up her phone. "I was talking to him. He told me 'You've been spending too much time with Nash' and I said stuff about how I'm my own person. Then, I told to hang out with Madison and slapped me." I replied, tears escaping my eyes. Nila took me home, right then and there.

"Mom! I'm home!" I yelled. She rushed into the kitchen and hugged me. "Hun, you're going to Dad's next week, okay?" She asked my approval and I nodded. "Mom, Hayes, he slapped me." I told her and she called Nila and they had a long talk. I went up to my room and continued crying.

I sat their drying my, completely out of tears, eyes for the millionth time. I can't believe he would do such a thing. I thought he was my best friend. I guess Madison told him differently. That girl gets on my nerves. I hate her. I hate her. I hate her. I decided to text Matt to get my mind off things.

A: Can't go to dinner for my birthday :-(

M: Awh. Why not? :-[

A: Gonna be with my Dad in Michigan :-\

M: Sounds fun :-|

A: Not really. Hayes slapped me :-|

M: What the fuck? NO >:^[

A: Yeah he did. I guess I'll see 2 weeks from Now. Leaving for Detroit tomorrow. Should be there in 2 days...

M: Bye babe. Love you ~xoxo~

A: Bye baby. Love you too ~xoxox~

I curled up into a ball and fell asleep. Can't wait to finally leave and get away from Benjamin Grier. I HATE HIM.

Next morning

I woke up bright and early and started packing. My flight is a 9 tonight. I should be there by noon tomorrow. I've never really been to Michigan before. I can't wait.

When I finished packing, I headed downstairs. I can't wait to finally leave. I was dreading this a few days ago but, now I'm happy. I've missed my dad and I really can't wait to play catch with him. My phone buzzed and it was from Kaye.

K: GURLS DAY?

A: GURLS DAY

K: Be over soon

I can't wait to hang with Kaye. She and I haven't really had any girl time. I was startled by the door. "Want to go to the mall?" Kaye asked as I opened the door and I nodded. I hopped into Cam's truck.

"Hey A!" He said cheerily. Lots of people have been calling me A. I like it. We started to go to Starbucks when Madison stopped us. "Hey Girls!" She sounded so fake, Barbie would've been offended. "Hi Madison." We rolled our eyes. "Just know Hayes is mine and always will be. Stay away from him." She threatened us and I honestly didn't care. "You can fucking have Benjamin Grier. I don't give a shit's ass about him. I fucking hate him. He's a man whore." I stated and left it at that. I walked away satisfied with Madison's mortified expression. My phone buzzed and it was my Dad.

D: Hey kiddo! I'll be at the airport tomorrow waiting for you. Can't wait to see you!

A: Can't wait to see you either Daddio! Thanks for letting me know!

I quickly shut my phone off and it buzzed again. This time it was Twitter. Somebody took a video of what I said about Hayes and put it online. Lot's of people were saying "GO A!" and others were like "what'd he ever do to you?" I ignored both and kept walking.

I walked onto the plane and took my seat. I sat next to a girl who looked my age. "Hi." I said calmly. "Hello." She smiled. "I'm Annalise but, call me A." I introduced myself. "I'm Airabella. Call me Bella." She smiled sweetly. "I'm going to see my father. He plays Major League Baseball for Detroit." I smiled back. He expression changed. From sweet to happy. "My Dad plays for MLB too! He's Ian Kinsler." She high fives me. "My Dad is David Price." I told her.

We ended up being really good friends. We exchanged numbers before leaving the plane. I looked all around and saw Dad. "Dad!" I yelled jumping into his arms. "Hey Kiddo." He hugged back. "I met Ian Kinsler's daughter, Bella today." I told him as I walked to the car. "Oh did you?" He replied as we got in the car. I nodded and started to drift away.

"Lise, wake up." I heard Hayes. "HAYES!" I screamed as I jumped in his arms. I missed him so much. "I forgive you." I said as I kissed his cheek. "What'd I do?" He asked, startled. "You don't remember?" I asked him and he shook his head. "I would never try to hurt my girlfriend." He smiled as He kissed my lips.

I shot up instantly. Why'd I dream about Hayes being my boyfriend? He's not even my friend. I hate him. I hate him so much. He slapped Me and treated me terribly. I do feel bad about telling everybody but, Hayes I was leaving but, he's an evil jerk.

"We're here." Dad smiled as the car stopped. I'm so happy. I finally get to stay with him. "I'm just letting you know, you're step mom and Step Siblings are here." Dad told me as I went to get my bag. I walked up to the door and dad opened it for me. Lucy and Dylan were standing there. Another boy, about a lot of years younger, was standing there too.

"Hi." I smiled. I love Lucy. She's so amazing and beautiful. "Hello A." Lucy smiled. She's the one who started calling me A. "Hi Dylan." I waved and started looking at the other one. "This is Andrew. He's your half brother." Dad smiled. My dad had another son and didn't tell. Also, Lucy looks VERY pregnant.
