Holly's POV

I wake up after hearing my phone going off. I know it's not my alarm so I'm guessing someone's texting me. I squint as light shines through my window and I look at my phone.

I have 13 missed calls, and 26 texts. One text is from Madi, and the rest of them are all from Hayes. Well it looks like someone was up all night.

I look through the texts that say things like,
I'm so sorry beautiful,
I love you,
I'm stupid,
please forgive me,
I should've believed you,
and a bunch more.

I listen to one of my voicemails from him;
"Hey, it's Hayes, and I know it's really late, but there's never a bad time for me to call you to tell you how sorry I am. I don't blame you for breaking up with me, I just hope you can forgive me. I really messed up, and I should've known you wouldn't have kissed him. I'm such a mess up and I'm sorry. I love you more than anything and I just want you to be happy. Text me when you can. I love you beautiful, and I hope I see you soon."

I debate wether or not to call him back, and decide to get some breakfast first.

I walk downstairs, where our Christmas tree is all lit up, and get myself a bowl of cereal.

Tomorrows Christmas Eve, which is like my favorite day of the year.

In my family, it's such a happy time because we can all get together and hang out. And Mary is coming home today and I can't wait.

I hear my phone ding. It's from Hayes. Make that 27 texts.

Hayes- You read my texts... Please answer me I'm so sorry I just want to know your okay😞
Me- I'm coming over to talk to you

I go upstairs and throw on some warm clothes to head to Hayes's house.

I'm not really nervous but I just don't know what to say.

I knock on the front door and skylynne answers.

"Hey Sky!" I say and smile.
"Holllyyy!" She jumps and gives me a huge hug as I walk inside.
"Where's Hayes?" I ask her as I set her down and take off my coat.
"He's up in his room. But you should play with me." She takes my hand and starts running upstairs.
"Sky, I would love to play with you but I really need to talk to your brother."
"Fine" she lets go off my hand and sighs as she walks into her room and I go across the hall to Hayes's.

I knock twice on his door. "Can I come in?"
"Yeah."

I open the door and Hayes is standing directly in front of me. He leans in and gives me a hug but i push him away gently.

"Hayes we really need to talk." I tell him.
"I know, but please forgive me I should've just listened to you. I ruin everything."
"Hayes. Listen," I say sitting down on his bed. I feel comfortable in his room. Almost like its home. "I feel like this just keeps happening. One of us messes up and we just stop everything and I'm tired of having to chase after one another just to be happy.
       It's like you can't even trust me. I wouldn't lie to you. Ever. There's no reason I would ever lie to you and it hurts that you think I would."
"Your totally right. I should trust you and I'm so sorry. I'm sorry for everything."
"But you say that every time. But somehow it just happens again. It's not my fault that Mitch is trying to sabotage our relationship. There's nothing I can do about that." I say staring into those deep blue eyes. And now I feel like I'm falling again.
"I know it's not your fault. But you know me and sometimes I can't control my emotions. Its just I want to protect you, and when I see you with him, I feel like I've failed, but then I take it all out on you. And I can't apologize enough for that"
"I dont know Hayes. I don't even know why your the one apologizing. It's my fault-"
"But it's not" Hayes stopped me. "I know how wacked Mitch is. And I should've know to believe you and I think of what really could've happened."
"See this is why I don't go to parties." I laughed, trying to lighten the mood.
"Yeah I get it now." He grinned.

I walked over to him and hugged him. The smell of his cologne filled my nose, as I ruffled his hair.

"I love you. I really do." He whispered.
"I love you too." I said as his arms stayed wrapped tightly around my waist, making me feel so protected. The feeling I would miss if I didn't have him.
