Jill's POV
"To answer you question, we aren't dating," Hayes says to Anastasia and Brooklyn. "And I don't know if we will ever."
My heart dropped. How could he do this? Anastasia gives me a smirk.
"I don't think I will ever get the chance to ask her because fans like you guys can't help but be rude," Hayes says, finishing. "You need to respect who I date or don't be my fan."
He moves Anastasia off of him and comes over to me and interlocks his hand with mine. I give him a smile.
"Hayes, you are supposed to believe your fans, not her!" Anastasia yells.
Hayes kisses my cheek.
"No, I believe Jill called you bitch.. Well because she's Jill. She's not just gonna file her nails and pretend nothing happened. But, I do believe you were the start of the problem." Hayes says to Anastasia.
I give Hayes a kiss on the cheek and his cheek turns a little red. I chuckle lightly.
Where did Brooklyn go? Who knows. I turn my attention back to Hayes and Anastasia.
"Hayes, I thought you were different." Anastasia says, crossing her arms.
"I've never changed, darling." Hayes says to Anastasia.
She scoffs and flips her hair and walks away.
When she walks away, I turn and smile at Hayes. Then, I hit him in the arm.
"What was that for?!" Hayes says, holding his arms.
"Because I thought you were going to do the same thing you did to Rebecca.. Not believe me." I say.
He wraps me in a hug.
"I just got you back and I'm sure not losing you again." He says, whispering.
I nod, slowly. I just want to enjoy this moment. That's all I really want. It's been forever since I've been in Hayes' arms and that I've felt protected. I need him like the earth needs the sun to see another day.
I'm really glad things are back to the way they used to be. I just know Hayes is gonna keep his promise. He's never gonna hurt me again.. At least I hope he wouldn't. Or would he?
I bit my lip, thinking. I was soon zoned out of my thoughts by Elizabeth speaking.
"Jill, I have exciting news!" Elizabeth says to me.
Hayes and I chuckle.
"And that is?" I say.
"Your father called and he wants to move back to California to work things out with your mother again." She says.
My face fell and I feel like I was gonna cry right then and there. I knew I couldn't though, I was in an airport.. I don't wanna move back to Cali.. Not when I have a life here in North Carolina.
I face Hayes and sorrow and desperation fills his eyes like he doesn't want me to go, but he thinks it's what's best for me.
Screw that, I don't want what's best for me. All I want is Hayes. Needy, I know. But, if you love someone, you wanna be with that person no matter what.
Wait, why would Elizabeth think this is good news? Does she not like me?
I was zoned out of my thoughts once again by Elizabeth.
"So, your dad is going back to Cali and he said you could stay here!" Elizabeth says.
I smile wide and Hayes wraps me in a big hug.
