Closer To You (Hayes Grier Fanfiction)

Chapter 30: Unexpected

A/N: HAHA you probably weren't expecting this... PLOT TWIST. I decided to make another chapter and possible another after this one. So be prepared :)))))

Sofia's POV///

I've been depressed and can't stop thinking of the last time I spoke to Hayes. It's been 2 weeks and I haven't gone to school. I've barely spoken to the Griers lately. I just lay in bed all day and hope for it to end so I can back to sleep and repeat.

"Okay Sofia, it's time for you to stop grieving. It's only get worse if you stay like this." My mom comes into the room.

I put my head under the sheets, "I miss him."

"I know honey. Everyone does. But today you need to go outside and get some fresh air. Call one of your friends or something. I'm not letting your stay in bed anymore. It's been almost 2 weeks!"

I stay under the sheets.

"Don't make me pour iced cold water over you." She threatens.

I get up immediately, "Okay, okay. Geez."

"Today you're going to school. Mr. Birkalowsa called and said if you don't come back soon, you could fail the semester."

I groan, "Fine, but you have to drop me off. There's not way I'm walking to that prison without my bodyguard and love of..my..life." A tear rolls down my cheek. I wipe off with my sweater sleeve.

"Fine, but you have 1 hour so get cleaned up and ready." My mom leaves the room.

Oh what a joy. Going to school with the beast, Iris and her crew. But I have Aaliyah, Michele and Anna right? I just really miss Hayes...

I go to the bathroom and take a shower. Then I blow dry my hair and put it in a fishtail braid. Then I go to my closet and grab my black-on-black converse and my black scarf. I also get my black jeans and a gray sweatshirt that says hope.

I'm done. I get my phone and backpack and head downstairs.

"Honey, I think it's time I give you this." My mom hands me a journal that says Hayes on it.

Did he have a diary?!

I grabbed it and immediately looked at the first page:

Sofia,

First, this is NOT a diary. I just couldn't tell you what really happened to me. So I'm writing it. And when I'm gone, this will be given to you.

I just want you to know how much I love you.

Iris wasn't happy with you staying, so she came straight to me and told me that if I kept loving you, she would kill me. I didn't think she would actually do it, so I told her my honest feelings toward her and it was kinda harsh, but she deserved it. Then I told her how I felt about you, how you make me feel and how your like nobody I've ever met. She injected me with something, I don't know what, but she injected it in my knee and whispered, "Don't bother going to the hospital you only have and hour or so left to live." Then she walked off laughing.

I ran to my nearest friends house and he let me have one of his extra journals. I decided to write everything instead of saying it because you would've hated me for not coming to you.

Sofia, I love you. Just promise me that you won't ever forget about me, because I won't ever forget about you. I'm still here to protect you.

Now, I'm going to run to the house to get my last hug. Hopefully I make it.

-Hayes

Tears ran down my cheeks like a river. I hugged my mom so tight. I remember the last time he spoke. He was cut off while saying, "I missed you, too."

"Mom, you don't need to drive me to school, I'm going to get revenge."

"You sure?"

"Yeah. I gotta run. Bye." (A/N: lololol get it, i gotta "run" cheesy omg ok bye)

I ran outside and started running to the school. I have never been so angry in life. For some reason I didn't get tired, the anger gave me so much motivation.

***

When I got to school I slammed open the door and quickly went to my locker. I got all my things and went to class. I saw Iris. I walked up to her and pushed her making her fall.

"Are you happy now?! I found out what you did! YOU KILLED HAYES!" I yell.

"Well if I can't have him, nobody can." She smirks and gets up.

I push her back down, "I'm sorry, but did I say you could get up?" I said with tons of attitude.

I felt like a bully. What am I turning into? I don't know what it is, but the anger was getting me hyped up.

"Leave me alone you selfish hog!"

"I'm not selfish, I didn't kill a boy so someone else couldn't have him. He didn't even like you, face it. Nobody does. You bribe everyone and pretend to have friends. You change them into people their not."

"What's going on here?!" Mr. Birkalowsa says.

"Nothing, just acting something for drama class." Iris plays it off.

"Actually no, Iris killed Hayes!" I yell.

"Why would you say that? I love Hayes. It was such a tragic what happened. I'm so sorry for your loss, Sofia." She lies.

"Mr. Birkalowsa, she's lying and I have proof. Look."

I showed him the journal and he reads it.

"Sofia, how do I know that this isn't fake. Blaming someone of murder is a harsh offense."

"It's not fake, It all makes sense. Hayes dies from something in the knee. Iris injected something in his knee. He had about 1 hour left to live. And I spent the last second with him when he... died." I say.

"Iris, I'm calling police." He says.

Iris glares at me and whispers, "This isn't the end."

Then she runs out the class and the fire alarm sound goes off.
