Best Friend?

Chapter 11

- Annalise -

I woke up in the middle of the night. I can't sleep. I check the time. 5:30 am. I got up and took a long, half hour shower. I got out dried my hair and body. I put lotion on and and body spray. I grabbed my Nirvana shirt and my white jeans. I matched that with my black and white Vans. I dried my hair and left it like that. I heard it was chillier. I grabbed my flannel and put it on.

Last night was the best. Everyone cheered for me. They all loved me. Kenny was good too. OMG Kenny. He's a cutie. Speaking of Kenny, my phone buzzed and it was him.

K: Hey A! Wanna hang out today?

A: Of course. How does 3 sound?

K: Perfect! See you then

It's currently 8:45 am. I'm home alone. Dylan had a sports thing and Dad, Lucy, and Andrew went with him. It's upstate. I think. I laid in my bed, doing nothing. Thoughts trailed my mind. I was interrupted by my phone ringing.

"Hello?" I answered the phone. "Lise, it's serious. It's Hayes. He's in the hospital." I heard Cameron's voice. "What do you mean hospital?" I asked him. "He tried to kill himself." Cam sighed. "I'm getting the soonest flight out there." I told him and hung up. I immediately texted Kenny.

A: I'm super sorry. I Can't hang out. Something terrible happened back home and I have to go

K: That's okay. I understand

I went online and saw the soonest flight was at noon. I hurried and packed a thousand pairs of clothing. I needed to call dad. I don't have that kind of time. I decided to text him instead.

A: Dad, something is wrong back home and I'm going to be there for a while

D: Okay. I understand. Love you.

A: Love you too

I grabbed my bag and threw it in the car.

I made it to North Carolina. Hayes is still in a coma. I feel like it's my fault. I feel terrible. I never should of left him. I can't go back to Michigan. I need to stay here with Hayes. I need to tell him that.

I walked into his hospital room. Nash was in there. "I'll leave you alone with him." He sighed and walked out. I sat in the chair next to the bed. "Hi Hayes. It's me, Annalise. I've thought it through and I never should've left you. None of this would've happened if I never left. I need you to wake up. I need you, Hayes. I'm broken without you. I tried to get a fresh start but, that didn't work. It'll never work. We're nothing without each other. We'll never be. It's always Hayes and Annalise. Annalise sounds too plain. Hayes sounds too plain. Hayes and Annalise. It's perfect. I just need you to wake up." I hugged him and felt the tears coming. I couldn't help but, cry. I missed him so much. Some of my tears fell on his face. "Lise?" I heard a raspy voice. "Hayes!" I screamed. "I heard everything you said. Hayes and Annalise. It's perfect." He chuckled.

I went and got a nurse. Hayes gets to leave tomorrow. He was only out for a couple days. Which, is good. I'm happy to be home. I already told Dad I'm not coming back. I also, told Kenny. He was a little hurt but, he's okay now. I'm back at Nash's place.

"Nash, I'm the worst." I told him. He gave me a confused look. "If I would've stayed, Hayes would've been fine. He wouldn't of ever went into a coma and he wouldn't of tried to commit." I sighed. "Anna, you did nothing. It was Hayes choice to commit." He told me and I nodded. I heard an all too familiar voice.

I saw Cameron walk in with Jack G, Matthew, and another kid. "Oh Hey Annalise." Matthew said. "Hi." I forced a smile. I don't hate Matthew but, he hurt me. He kissed Kalyn. Braiden kissed me. I didn't kiss Braiden. "Are you and Braiden a couple?" He asked and I shook my head. "He went gay for my step brother. I haven't had a boyfriend since I was in a coma 4 months ago." I told them all. "You were in a coma?" They all screamed and I nodded. "This kid in my school shot me. It was in my thigh. The way I was sitting made it go up into my stomach. I was in a coma for 4 months. They were going to put me to sleep because, I couldn't wake up. Then, I got accepted to play Softball for U of M but, I didn't go because, my grades were terrible. I needed Hayes and Jake and neither of them were there." I sighed. "Jake?" Matthew asked. "He's my ex. He moved to Colorado." I looked down. Cameron engulfed me in a hug. They all did.

"Cameron, I have one question." I said. "Hit me." He joked. "Who is that?" I asked, pointing to the boy my age. "Oh. That's Shawn. He's a singer. From Canada." Hayes said, as he came in. "Hayes!" I screamed, hugging him. "You'd think they hadn't seen each other in years." Cameron whispered to Nash. "I heard that. Loser." I said, under my breath. I heard Hayes chuckle. I missed his laugh.

"Bye!" I told my mom. Time to head to school. Yay. Starting half way into the school year. I know absolutely nobody but, Hayes. I walked to Hayes house. "Hey." Nash greeted me. "Hi. Where's Hayes?" I asked him. "On the couch." He pointed to the couch. I walked in and sat on the couch next to him.

"What time does school start?" I asked him. "It's starts at 9 o' clock." He told me. It's 8:30 right now. I'm not looking forward to this school. I'm just glad there's no Annabelle and Chad. I just miss Kenny. "I don't want to go to school." I told Hayes. "We have to." He said. We walked to school.
