Grateful (Hayes Grier Fan Fic)

Chapter 7

I walked to the bathroom and began to straighten my long black hair. Hayes was so cute and funny. I was annoyed with myself because he kept popping up into my mind. Once I was finished I put on concealer,eyeliner and mascara. Then I changed into maroon high waisted shorts and a white crop top. I grabbed a beanie and headed out the door. I texted Hayes and told him I'm outside and almost instantly I saw him walking out of his door. Once he saw me a wide smile appeared on his face. "Hey Harleen" he said "What do you wanna do?". I shrugged. "Doesn't matter anything really" I said. "Do you wanna go penny boarding?" He asked. "Um I love penny boarding but I don't have actually have one" I said my cheeks going red. He laughed. "That's okay you can ride mine and I'll ride Nash's" he said. "Are you sure Hayes?" I asked. He nodded. We started walking towards his house. He opened the door and ushered me to go in first. I walked in and said "Where is your penny?"He pointed towards a cupboard. I opened up the cupboard and saw a red and blue penny and a blue and pink penny. I picked the red and blue one and gave Hayes the other one. He motioned for me to go fist so I walked out the door. I turned and asked him "Where are we going?" He shrugged "Ice cream then the beach?" He suggested. I smiled and nodded. I put my penny down on the ground and let Hayes lead the way.

Hayes's POV

"Where are we going?" She asked. I looked at her and said "Ice cream then the beach?" She smiled and nodded eagerly. I couldn't help but notice the twinkle in her hazel brown eyes every time she smiled or the way her long black hair flicked to one side of her head every time she laughed. I put my penny board down and started riding. After a few minutes I looked back to see where Harleen was and I saw that she was way behind. "Why are you riding so slow? I shouted and asked her. Her cheeks went red and she shouted back "I haven't ridden in so long I'm scared to go any faster". I tried to hold in my laughter but failed. She looked at me and yelled " Hayes Grier why do you find this so funny?". The way she said made me laugh even harder. It was so cute. I caught my breath and walked back to her. I held out my hand. "I pull you" I told her. She grabbed my hand and sent butterflies through me. No girl has ever done that before. I pulled her along and turned a corner. "Hayes isn't ice cream that way?" She asked. I nodded. "What I thought we were gonna get ice cream? She said. I nodded "Eventually we will but first we are going to a haunted house" I said smiling. Her face went pale. "N-no Hayes I can't go in haunted houses-they scare the crap out of me" She said. I grinned "Don't worry and plus it's the only year round haunted house". She nodded but reluctantly. "Fine,but if I die your taking the blame and paying for my funeral" She said so seriously I couldn't help but laugh.  "And your gonna protect me" She said. I felt a rush of pride flow through me as she said it. She wanted me to protect her. I pulled her around another corner then we both stopped. She looked at it then said "H-Hayes I-I can't do this" and turned around. I grabbed her arm and stopped her. We got in line and I bought us tickets. We waited in line till we could go in and Harleen was a nervous wreck. We moved up in line. We were next. I looked at her. Should I do it? Nah- actually screw it! I mustered up my courage and grabbed her hand. She looked up at me gratefully. I mentally smiled. Nice move Hayes. The guide ushered us in and we stared walking. It was pitch black. We turned a corner and Harleen's grip on my hand tightened. Then she screamed.

Hey guys! THANKS SO MUCH FOR 100 READS I WAS LITERALLY CRYING WHEN I SAW. Sorry for cliffhangers - it's habit I guess xoxo - Harleen
