Together Again

Chapter 18

Katherine's POV

"Come on Hayes, could you take any longer in there" I call out to Hayes, he is in the bathroom and he has been in there for a solid ten minutes and I am absolutely DYING to use the toilet

"What are you even doing in there" I call out once again as the door opens

"Finally! Could you have..." I begin but stop myself as I notice Hayes' face, he looks worried

"Hayes, whats wrong" I say taking a step towards him as he takes a step back

"Nothing, everything is fine, you wanted to use the bathroom right?" He says as I nod, I decide to ignore his sudden mood change for now in hopes that its just something small and he will get over it

"Ah, yeah, thanks" I say walking into the bathroom locking the door behind me, I sit down on the toilet and scroll through my Facebook like I usually do, weird I know but oh well, I am just about to turn off my phone when I receive a text from a number I have never seen before

From Unknown: Hi Katherine, Just wanted to let you know that you should watch out, I'm always watching you and everywhere you go, I'll be there

I begin to freak out but decide to text them back anyway

To Unknown: Who is this, I will report you to the police

I quickly finish off in the bathroom but don't leave until I receive a reply, it took a while but I finally got one

From Unknown: If I told you this wouldn't be fun now would it? Oh and I wouldn't go to the police if I was you

To Unknown: And why not?

I instantly get a reply

From Unknown: Someone could get hurt 😜

I suddenly run out of the bathroom and back towards my room to tell Hayes when I receive yet another text as my hand touches the doorknob of my door

From Unknown: Hey you cant tell Hayes either hehe

At this point I suddenly become extremely freaked out but calm myself down before walking into my room and seeing Hayes sitting on his bed

"Hey" I say as I walk over towards him

"Hi" He says back with a small smile

"KAT, HAYES, WE ARE LEAVING NOW" I here Jack call from downstairs

"Um, are you ready?" I ask Hayes as he nods

"Okay, lets go" I say grabbing my wallet slipping a twenty dollar note inside along with my card and key

Hayes and I begin to walk out of my room and down the stairs, on the way down I decide to try and hold his hand because I was extremely freaked out but the opposite of what I thought would happen, happened, he jumped and let go of my hand

My eyes suddenly went wide as Hayes noticed what he had done

"Um, I'm sorry, I won't do it again..." I say trailing off as Hayes says something

"NO, don't apologise, I'm sorry, I'm just a little bit jumpy today" He says as he grabs my hand and I smile at him

"Thanks" I say squeezing his hand

"You don't have to thank me for holding your hand" He says laughing slightly before stopping suddenly and looking down

"I know I just wanted to, also Hayes, I know something is wrong with you, and I understand if you don't want to tell me, I just want you to know if you ever do want to talk about it i'll be here" I say as he looks at me for a while before speaking
