Grateful (Hayes Grier Fan Fic)

Chapter 8

Hayes POV

She screamed and she screamed loud. I looked to see what she screamed at and it was a mannequin with its head hanging from its neck. "Hey its fine,look it's not real" I said as I lightly pushed the mannequin. I tried to hold I'm my laugh but I couldn't. She looked at me furiously. "This isn't funny!" She said. I looked at her while grinning. She gave me an angry look and let go of my hand and stomped off deeper in to the haunted house. I followed her but she was ahead of me. 2 minutes later I heard her screaming my name and she ran back towards me. She came at full speed and threw her arms around me. I hugged her and rubbed her back. "Its fine, I'm here" I said. We kept walking and she almost made it through until the very end. A robot grabbed her shoulder and she lost it. She ran screaming out of the haunted house. I ran after her. I looked around and saw her sitting in the penny board by a tree. Tears streamed down her face. She looked up. As soon as she saw me she ran up and threw her arms around my neck. Then she suddenly she pulled away. "I-I told you I didn't want to go" she said through her tears. I felt as if a 12 ton chunk of metal had just dropped on my chest. She's right I had forced her. I looked at her. "Harleen why are you so scared of haunted houses?" I asked softly. She took a ragged breath. "Promise you won't tell anyone?" She asked me.

"Promise"

"When I was 12 my mom was killed in a school shooting and when I went to go see I saw her in the floor and there was a lot of blood.

I nodded my head.

"So in most haunted houses there is always and excessive amount of blood and that day just keeps coming back." She finished. Wow. Hayes your a jerk I thought. I grabbed her hand and said "let's go get ice cream then we can just chill at my house". She nodded. We rode to the ice cream shop and got our ice cream. When we got home we just decided to sit up in my room and watch some TV shows. We sat down on my bed. "I'm really sorry" I said softly. "Its oka-" she started by I cut her off. "NO!" I yelled. "NO ITS NOT I JUT FORCED YOU TO RELIVE YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE". Harleen grabbed my arm. "Hayes it okay really,I know you didn't mean to" she said. "I think I should go home now" she said and she left without even giving me the time to say goodbye.

So I decided to keep going. So vote and comment! Xoxo - Harleen
