Why me?

Why me?-chapter 4

Dedicated to my BFF's; Katie, Aria, Olivia, Taylor, Vicky, and Payton.

I jump out of bed and call Hayden. He answers right away saying "Hey how come you left me here?'' I reply with "Are you still in the slide?'' There was a short silence. "Yeah'', Hayden says finally in a depressed voice."How come you didn't call anybody?", I asked him. "I forgot I had my Phone untill you just called me" was his response. " Its 6 O'clock! You have been stuck in that slide for 3 hours!?!'', I say thinking of how stupid he is sometimes......haha yeah SOMETIMES. "Well i guess i will come get you" I say with a sigh."Mom I'm takin your car" I yell as I pick up her keys and head out the door. I drive to Sonic and sure enough find Hayden

stuck in the slide."You're such a retard" I say as I start pulling him out. It didn't take much since I basically already had him out for the most part. Now that I think about it, he probably could have wiggled out on his own. Since we were at Sonic he bought me a shake for getting him out of the slide. He asks me before I leave "Do you wanna catch a movie tomorrow night?" I look back at him longingly, but say "I'm sorry, but if I say yes Stacy will never talk to me again. Stacy has been my friend since kindergarten I don't want that to change. I want you to know that I love you and have for a LONG time,but I just can't and I'm so sorry".He looks at the ground again and after what seems like an eternity says "I understand". He got in his car and drove off leaving me there with a melted shake in my hands, tears in my eyes, and a pain in my heart.

Hayden's POV

As I drive away I try not to look back at her through my mirror, but fail and see her sitting on the ground looking at something in the distance. Her beautiful blonde hair sitting perfectly on her shoulders the way it does. I get home and mope to my room. I hear Stacy saying something like "where have you been! Mom is scared sick right now!" But I'm not really listening. All I'm hearing is Lucy saying those three words "I love you". I hear her say them over and over again in my head. I shouldn't have left Lucy there like that. Why does Stacy care if I date one of her friends? All she is doing is messing up my life. What, did i actually think I could just date Lucy and everything work out perfectly like in the movies? As I pace back and forth in my room I try not to think of her, but thinking of nothing else. I think of the way she is the perfect height, and how she doesn't have to wear tons of make-up to look beautiful, and how her deep blue eyes can look into mine and know exactly what I'm thinking. I think of how when she blushes starts to smile. I think of- NO. Stop it Hayden, I tell myself over and over. I groan and hit the wall causing my mom to come to my room. She looks at me and she sees my tear stained face and hugs me. She holds my face "what's wrong my baby boy" she asks. " Stacy won't let me date-"I stop midsentence because I know I can't manage to get her name out without more tears. "She won't let you date Lucy will she" my mom says. "How did you know" I ask. "Oh I see the way she looks at you and the way you look at her" she says with a sigh. "I know it hurts, but sweetie you're going to have to respect your sister's wishes I'm afraid",she says. She kisses my forehead and turns off my light. I go to bed and dream of none other than Lucy. In the dream she said yes and started blushing. All of a sudden I wake up not wanting to go to school I put the covers over my head and my mom comes in and pulls them off. Taking her hint I get up. I throw on some jeans, a T-shirt and my man-sperrys. I grab my backpack, get in my car and head to school. On the way there the song "What makes you beautiful" comes on and reminds me of the pains from yesterday. Knowing that I have PE with her first hour, I sigh. I get to school and go into the locker rooms and change.

When everyone is in the gym Coach Marcello says " Alright we the playing dodgeball. Hayden and Hunter you are the team captains,choose your team-mates starting with Hayden". I pick Marco, he picks Stacy, I pick Taylor,he picks Payton, I pick Aria, he picks Wyatt, I choose Olivia, Vicky and Lucas. He picks Katie, Canyon, and Samantha. There are two people left; Lucy and Jackie. I pick Lucy because I don't want her on Hunter's team and I don't want to accidentally hit her. We get to our sides of the court and begin. My team won like we always do and the bell rings. The rest of he day goes by in a blur, with me zoning out every five minutes thinking of Lucy. I don't talk to Stacy at all even at home. After dinner I go straight to bed,even thought its only seven o'clock. I once again cry myself to sleep.
