When Hate Turns To Love (Hayes Grier)

Chapter Four- What?

Hunters POV
One Week Later
    I walk down the street, I've been walking for what it seems like hours. I pull out my phone and I've only been walking for 45 minutes. Wow. I sit on the curb and sigh. I hate this place, it's so empty. I hate my dad, for making us have to live like this. I hate Hayes, for making me feel so terrible. I hate myself, for everything. I have no one, but Nash. My own siblings aren't here for me anymore.
       Sometimes I just want to disappear, vanish. No one would even really notice if I did. My mom has all my siblings to care about. Nash has Skylynn and the rest of his family. My siblings have each other and no one else cares. I sigh and stand up, heading back home. Where things will probably worst. Especially with Hayes next door.

    I walk up to my house, which seems so empty. I walk in and no one is in the living room. I look everywhere and no ones home. Great, alone that's all I need. I want to be alone, but not feel alone. There's a huge difference between the two. Feeling alone makes you feel empty. Being alone makes you feel independent. Being alone is easier too because no one can hurt you, expect yourself.
     I walk into my room and plop onto my bed. I think about everything. All the hate, Hayes, my dad and tears well up. I want to just be normal for once. But no my life has to be all messed up. Why can't anything go good for me? Why can't I just be happy?

I go into the bathroom to take a bath. I let the water run, undress and step in. The warm water surrounds me. I go underwater. I stay under for a a few seconds. I kinda wanna see how long I can stay under without coming up. I lay underwater for a while before I give up and come back up. I check my phone, I was under for a few minutes. It was peaceful, the quietness, no movements.

   Once I get out I put get dressed in a baggy gray  t-shirt that says 'Wright State University' in big green letters and a pair of cotton black shorts. I dry and straighten my hair, I check my phone again. It reads 'Text from Mom."

I open it.

Mom:
We are going to the Griers tonight, staying the night so come over around 10.

Me:
okay.

I look at the time, it's 10:09. Oops. I walk out and walk to the Griers house. I knock on the door and brace myself for the terrible night I'm about to have. I don't want to see Hayes. He's really been on my nerves lately, well more than usual. Usually I can tolerate him, now I can't stand him. Nash opens the door and smiles widely, pulling me into a hug.

"Welcome back stranger." He says into the crook of my neck. "We have a surprise for you." he adds

"Oh really?" I smile and he nods with a big cheeky smile.

"Come inside." He directs his hands for me to walk in, I walk in and he shuts the door behind me. 

I look around and everyone is smiling at me, I sit down awkwardly and cross my legs. I look around and wait for someone to say something. I bite my lip and I'm kinda scared because of how strange everyone is acting. I look around and Nash sits beside me.

"So we have good news.." He pauses "and bad news." He nods.

"Can you tell me instead of being weird." I half smile and look at him.

"Good news, DIGI tour accepted you and you will be  going on tour with me and the bad news, that means you have to move to Cali." He nods

"How is any of that bad news?" I ask

"You're mom isn't coming. It's me, you, my friend Cameron and Hayes." He says Hayes in a lower tone.

I look around and look at my mom," I can go?" I ask.

"Yes, Nash promised to take care of you and so did Cameron. They both seem like such nice boys and we can keep contact." she smiles.

"She's going!" Hayes yells.
"Hayes, sit." Elizabeth says.

"If I'm going to be a problem I won't go." I sigh "I don't wanna be an inconvenience." I add.

Nash looks over at Hayes and he sighs, "You're fine." Hayes says.

"When do we leave?" I ask.

"Aha.. Um tomorrow." Nash says

"I have to repackage all my stuff and move to California?" I ask

"yeah." He nods.

"I need help Nashy!" I smile and he hugs me.

"Let's go." He says and grabs my hand.

"Okay." I nod and we leave.

As we walk home, Hayes comes running behind us. I mentally groan and look at him. Nash puts his arm around my waist and looks at him. Hayes catches his breath for a moment and then looks at Nash's arm.

"Are you two a thing now?" He asks rudely.

"He's almost 20... I'm 15... What do you think."  I say in a duh tone

"Right..." He nods. "Do you need help packing?" He adds.

"No." I say.

"Okay..." He says awkwardly.

"Yeah." I continue to walk and so does Nash.

He chuckles and smiles at me. I shrug and shake my head. I was way more rude than I should have been. He was just trying to be nice, but he hurt me and talked about my dad. Thinking he knew me and I can't stand that, when people tho k they know me but they don't. It's so annoying.

"Hunter, unlock the door." Nash smiles and I unlock the door.

  We both walk in and lead Nash to my room. He smiles, looking around. He picks up the picture of me and Casey.
"Do you miss her?" He asks.
"Every day." I say.

He nods and helps me pack everything up. I can't believe I'm moving to California to pursue my dreams. I hope Hayes won't ruin it for me. He give me so much unnecessary stress. He hates me for no reason. Well he has a reason but he made me blow up a n him. How did he even know about my dad?

I sigh and continue packing, Nash looks at a picture of me and my family, before my dad got into drugs and alcohol. I look at it and sigh. I miss when we weren't always on the run. Nash puts the photo in a box and continues packing things up. He smiles at me and I smile back. He's so sweet, in like Hayes. He's the opposite of Nash. I'm excited to go on tour. It's a new life, no big drama. No running. Nothing.
