The Camping Trip * A Hayes Grier Fanfic*

Chapter 23

The beginning of March

Alli's POV

I wake up on a Saturday morning after the worst week of school. I woke up on Monday sick and I can't stay home because my mom says so and I don't want to take Finals at the end of the year. I look at my phone and see it's like 3 in the afternoon. Yeah. The afternoon. I was up till 5 coughing my lungs out. I wipe the drool off of my face because I slept with my mouth open so I could breath since I couldn't through my nose. Which made my throat hurt more. I look at my notifications and see Hayes texted me and he said "Call me as soon as you can." I wonder what's wrong.

I get up and look in the mirror and scream. What the heck!? I look like a raccoon. But raccoons are actually kind of cute. I look like a witch. I pull my hair into a bun and clean up my face as best I can and go upstairs. I walk through the door, into the kitchen and Nash and Angel are in there.

"Hey guys what's up?" I whisper because I have lost my voice. Call me if you have found it because I would like it back.

"Oh Alli." Nash says walking over and hugging me. I hug him back. He lets go.

"Your mom asked us to come over and take care of you because she had to go run some errands." Angel said.

"Thanks guys but y'all don't have to do that." I say.

"Yes we do." Nash says. He says picking me up.

"NASH!" I shout as best I can. He walks over to the couch and sets me down. He grabs a pillow and sets it on the arm. He places his hands on my shoulders and leans me back into the pillow. He grabs a blanket and puts it over me, tucking me in like a baby.

"Now you shut up and lay there and watch Home while me and Angel make you soup and tea." Nash demands, leaning down and kissing me on the forehead. "Do you have any requests my lady?" He asks.

"One." I say.

"What is it?" He asks.

"Hayes to be here." I say, sadly.

"I'll have to see about that." He says, walking into the kitchen. I lay there, doing as Nash says. I look at my phone and see I still haven't called Hayes. I text him back.

(Convo = A - Alli, H - Hayes)

A - What u need? Can't call, lost my voice.

H - Please don't hate me.

A - Why would I hate u?

H - I'm not gonna be able to go to come down for your birthday and birthday camping trip...

A - Why?

H - I have really big tests the week of your birthday. I'm so sorry! I would totally skip them for you but my mom isn't letting me. I'm really sorry Alli. U don't hate me do you?

A - Hayes I would never hate u. I understand, your education is way more important than me. It's fine, don't worry.

H - Nothing is more important than u! I'm sorry Alli.

A - Quit doing that. Baby it's fine! I promise.

H - Ok. I gtg. Later Babe

A - Later

I smile at the text but then frown at the thought of Hayes not being here for my birthday. I'm gonna cry. Maybe we can celebrate a little earlier. Just us and the others. Ugh no he can't he isn't even going to be able to come and see me this month because he going to be busy and going on your with Daniel at Digi for a little bit. Which, him and Skylar have gotten really close since they met.
