A Puzzle to be Fixed (Hayes grier)

Why?

Rose's P.O.V *

I nodded my head no and closed my eyes before I heard Johnson leave. I was still in Hayes's arms, my head against his chest. I was still processing everything through my head, I couldn't believe it still. I let go of Hayes and got out of his arms, we sat on the floor and sat there in silence. "Why did you come to my house? How did you hear us?" I asked looking at my shoes, "I was coming by to ask if you wanted to go somewhere, and then I heard you scream and saw the Jacks car." He sighed

"Rose.. how- how did you- nevermind." He breathed out shaking slightly, i knew what he was going to ask but I ignored it. I didn't feel like talking about it right now. "Hayes why do people keep telling me your bad? And that I'm going to end up.. dead.??" I asked silently he clenched his fists together and closed his eyes.

"Hayes I'm sorry, please calm down." I whispered touching his arm, he tensed at my touch but immediately calmed down when my eyes met his. "I uh I got to go, I'll see you tomorrow Rose." He said quickly getting up and leaving. Great now I'm by myself I was debating weather or not to call Marie over and tell her everything but I decided not to.

I took a shower and got into bed, drifting off into a deep sleep.

Three days later**

The last three days I have stayed at home and just been lazy, well not completely I've been going to the gym but other than that I've been home all day long. I haven't talked to anyone not Hayes, or Marie, Nash. I ended up going to say bye to the Jacks the day after the incident and argument.

Gilinsky was ok I had just given him a hug but i didn't say anything. As for Johnson I hugged him to death I told him I would see him in a couple of days and that was it they had to leave.

Today is the day the project is due, i was going to see Hayes for the first time in a couple of days. I threw on the usual clothes and took off. When i got there Hayes was already there with our music and everything. We just said hi to each other before we were called up for our project. I looked over to Hayes and gave him a thumbs up so he could play the music.

I started off and was doing ok until the music came to a stop. I looked towards mrs. Belden she had a smile on her face. "Very good Rose and Hayes, you guys have completed for the highest in performing arts." I smiled and thanked the Lord how far I've come. I nodded me and Hayes walked out and made our way to our cars.

There was something that Hayes did in that moment that just set me off, "Rose I think your brother is right, I think it's best if we don't talk anymore." I couldn't believe it who could he let my brother get to him. Or even take his side I don't see anything bad about Hayes. "What why? Did he force you to say this? Why are you bad for me??" I asked getting fustrated. He took one last glance at me before walking off, I didn't think we would do that.

How was I supposed to just forget all the things we've been through, our friendship over some probably stupid lies that my brother said. I was annoyed and mad, I slammed my door shut and turned up the radio I sped out of there. I wawas about 5 minutes away from my house but the last thing I saw was a car to my side. And a bunch of red and blue lights.

Hayes's P.O.V *

I was heading home when I got a phone call I answered it without lookin at the caller ID. "Hello?" "Is this Hayes grier?." "Yes who's calling?" "Miss Natalia Rose Santiago was in an accident and we found her phone and contacted a few other people than you." "Can you please tell me what hospital she's going!?"

"Yes Cedars-Sinai Medical Center." With that I hung up and turned my car around I sped through all the red lights and focused on getting to the hospital. "Goddammit Rose what did you get yourself into?" I gripped the steering wheel.

Rose's P.O.V *

I heard beeping machines and the rushing of people walking. I felt people come and go past me, I couldn't open my eyes as hard as I tried I couldn't.

I heard a door open and close before all the rushing of people and noises stopped. Someone grabbed my hand but I didn't know who, "Ohh Rose look at you. What did you get yourself into? I shouldn't have Said all those things to you about not hanging or being with each other anymore. But your brother had a point I don't want to see you get hurt because of me I'm no good. I can't be happy because it all comes to an end to fast." I could recognize that voice anywhere but i didn't want to believe it was him.

Hayes. He kissed my hand before I felt him let go of it. At that moment I knew I had to wake up, I tried and tried until I finally opened my eyes. I tried sitting up but regreted it, my head shot in pain I groaned and laid back down. After a couple of seconds I opened my eyes adjusting to the light, I looked to my side and there sat Hayes.

"Your awake, let me go get the doctor." He left I sat there trying to not feel the pain going through my head. "Hello miss. Santiago. How do you feel?" The doctor asked "my head hurts." I groaned "yes, you hit your head when the car hit your side you banged your head pretty good but your fine." He explained writing some stuff on the clipboard.

By this time Hayes left to go get something to drink at the cafeteria. The doctor just said I was ok to go and to watch my head, he gave me some pills for the headaches and pain. "Now the bill." I mumbled to myself but apparently the doctor heard. "Actually it was paid off." He smiled "what? By who??" I asked getting out of the hospital bed. "By that young man that was in here." He smiled and walked out. Why would Hayes pay for me and did he really mean all those things he said to me??

Should I tell him I mat have feelings for him or should I ignore it?? I couldn't think straight. I walked out of the room and into the cafeteria I spotted Hayes drinking something standing up looking up at the TV. I went and stood in front of him I leaned against the wall so my back was pressed against it. "You okay?" He asked not making eye contact I pulled his chin down so he could look at me.

"I'm fine, why did you pay the bill, you didn't need too." I said looking him straight in the eye. He walked closer to me our faces inches apart and then I felt the urge to kiss him. I pressed my lips against his I took him a few seconds but he kissed back. My stomach erupted in fireworks the feeling was unexplainable. We pulled away and he stared at me for a while before we walked away.

Just like that he walked away.. he kissed back and he just left me H there dumbfounded and feeling pretty stupid.
