Hayes Grier - Bodyguards

I have never been that quite girly girl, I had three brothers and I spent a lot of time with them and their friends growing up. It got a little awkward when I hit puberty but not much changed since then. When we moved to North Carolina I was struggling with having new friends, my mom wanted me to have some girl friends but I ended up being best friends with Hayes Grier. He was a year younger than me, but he was the only one who started to talk to me when I was all alone almost every day at school. I was thirteen and he was twelve at that time, he even introduced me to his family, his brother, Nash was also cool, just like Hayes, so I hung out a lot with them. And when they got kinda famous, I thought they would forget me, but I was wrong.
I got to know other amazing boys, like Cameron, Matt, Aaron and so on and they became my ultimate squad. I travelled a lot with them, they liked to keep me close to them. My mom and dad trusted them 100%, mostly because they were so protective all the time, like I really was their sister, which was a little bit annoying sometimes, but whatever.
It was this summer when Hayes, Nash, Cameron, Nate, Sammy and I went to California for a week. Me and Hayes slept at Cam and Nash's place, which meant that I was stuck with three boys in an apartment, but just like I said, my parents didn't even had any problems with it.
We thought that we should go have some fun, so we called Nate and Sammy and met them to find a good party.
"Jade, don't you dare to accept any kind of drink from anyone other than us" Nash warned me as we were heading to a popular place. I rolled my eyes.
"Okay dad, I won't do anything!" I joked.
We got inside and everyone went their own way but I noticed that I was never left alone. At first Nash was following me everywhere, and then Nate started a little chat just to keep an eye on me and then Cam and Hayes dragged me to the dancefloor and didn't let any other guys to ask me for a dance, they scared everyone away.
After a few hours we decided to leave the place and we just strolled down the streets of California fooling around. When we got to a fast food restaurant we agreed on that everyone was quite hungry, so we got inside. Hayes insisted on paying for my meal.
"Hayes, I can order and pay for myself, okay?" I said looking at him raising my eyebrows.
"But I want to be nice, just let me!" he whined glancing at the cashier guy. He was kinda cute, I think he was around Cam's age. Now I understood why Hayes was so stubborn.
"Okay guys, that's enough" I said getting tired of their shit. "I know that you all just want to make sure that I'm okay, but this is ridiculous. I'm not a baby!"
"Of course you are not, what are you talking about?" Cam asked but I was sure that they all knew what I was talking about.
"Oh really? Hayes, is the reason why you don't want me to order that the cashier guy could hit on me?"
Hayes didn't answer, but this made it all clean for me.
"You know what? I'm not even hungry" I spat and then stepped back so they could order. They tried to talk to me, but I didn't listened to them. They all lined up at the counter and at the right moment I sneaked out of the restaurant and walked a few feet from the building, sat down on a bench from where I still could see the entry of the restaurant. Only three minutes passed by, when they realized I was gone and freaking out they got out and started to shout my name.
"JADE! JADE WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?" they all yelled at the same time. I rolled my eyes, got up and slowly walked back to them.
"Oh my God, Jade, where the hell did you go?" Hayes hugged me as he noticed me.
"I was literally sitting on the bench across the street. Don't get all worked up."
"Don't you dare to do this again, okay? It was a bad joke" Sam looked at me with a serious face but all I could do was just laugh at them.
"I'm older than Hayes, but you treat me like a child, guys, relax!"
"But you are a girl, that's not the same" Hayes stated. It was the worst, I hated when they treated me differently because of my gender.
"I'm happy you noticed that I'm a girl. Too bad you wouldn't date me, because then you would treat me like a boy again."
It just slipped out of my mouth. I didn't want to say it but... I secretly always wished Hayes would see me as a girl for once. We spent so much time together, sometimes it was hard for me that he treated me like one of the boys while I thought of him as someone else, not just a friend.
The guys tried to hide their smile, as I was literally dying inside that I just said that. I felt my face getting red, while Hayes was just blinking at me with wide eyes.
"You know what, guys? We will just go inside, you two need to talk" Nash said guiding the boys inside leaving me and Hayes alone.
"I didn't mean to... I was just so mad..." I muttered avoiding his gaze.
"Why didn't you tell me?" he asked quietly.
"What?" I looked at him confused.
"Why didn't you tell me that you liked me?"
"I don't know Hayes, maybe because I have never had a real relationship with a boy even though I was with you guys all the time. I thought you all think of me just like a sister." I was afraid that this would ruin my friendship with them, and then I would be so lonely again just like when we moved to North Carolina.
"The guys do consider you as their sister but I always had a thing for you" he admitted suddenly. I turned to him shocked, this was the first time a boy said something like that to me.
"You did?" I asked still surprised. He smiled and then nodded.
"Yeah, but you are older than me and didn't even think you would see me like that."
"I don't care how old you are" I admitted biting my bottom lip. Then a short awkward silence came between the two of us, when we were just smiling and grinning at each other not knowing what to say.
"Okay, erhm, what do you say if we go ba-" I started but he cut me off.
"If we go on a date tomorrow?"
"Okay, this one is better than my suggestion" I laughed. "I'm in as long as the boys won't play bodyguards around me" I nodded towards them, they were now sitting at a table watching us with wide smiles.
"I promise, it will be just the two of us." I smiled at him.
"Good."
