Because of Him || Hayes Grier

Chapter Eight

LIZZIE'S POV
___________________________

I woke up in on Hayes's couch. I guess I  fell asleep..

"Guess who's finally awake." Matt smiled at me.

"How long was I out?" I asked.

"2 hours." Hayes answered.

I got up and walked over to Matt who had a very big grin on his face.

"Why are you so happy?" I asked.

"It's a surprise.." He says and walked away. He knows I hate surprises.

"Please tell me.." I pouted.

"No." He walked away.

I walked over to Hayes and asked him if he knew what was going on.

"Yea, I do but I'm not aloud to tell.." He said and walked away.

"Ughh! Fine!" I said frustrated.

I gave up and sat on the couch and watched tv.

****

I got bored, so I went up in Hayes's room where he was.

"Hey." I smiled.

"Come in." He smiled back.

I sat next to him on his bed.

"Do you wanna go somewhere and do something?" Hayes asked.

"Sure." I answered.

I got up off his bed followed by Hayes and we ran down stairs. We grabbed penny boards and headed to the nearest ice cream shop.

****

"I will have some chocolate ice cream please." I ordered and Hayes did the same after me.

"I will pay-" I was saying but Hayes cut me off.

"No, I will." Hayes insisted.

"No, I want to give back to you for everything you done for me." I said and before Hayes could argue I gave the money to the worker.

"Thank you." Hayes said.

"No problem." I took my ice cream and sat at a table with Hayes.

As I was eating, at the corner of my eye I saw Brianna and Lucas sitting at a table together!

"Hayes, Brianna and Lucas are over there." I whispered  pointing over to them.

"We should hurry." Hayes said and I nodded.

We finished our ice cream but we were to late.

"Hey! Lizzie!" Brianna yelled across the shop as she ran over to me with Lucas.

"Where do you tho k you're going??" She asked.

"Getting Away from you." I snapped, but after I felt bad about doing it.

"No your not!" Lucas yelled as he chased after me and Hayes.

We ran toward our penny boards and got on them as fast as we could, so that they wouldn't catch up to us. But, I was to slow.

Brianna held onto my hair and I fell back on the pavement.

"Liz!" Hayes yelled. He got off his penny board and stood in front of us.

"Let go of her Brianna!" Hayes commanded.

"Or what?" She said in her high pitched voice.

"Just let me go!!" I yelled. "I never did anything to you!!" I told her.

"Yea you did, you took Hayes from me!" What?? I didn't take Hayes from anyone. Hayes was the one who helped me in the first place.

"No she didn't! And even if she did, I wouldn't be after you!" Hayes said.

Brianna let go of my hair and I ran over to Hayes and he hugged me, I hugged back.

"Don't think we're done with you!" Lucas yelled at me.

Me and Hayes got on our penny board and road home.

****

"Where were you guys?" Nash asked.

"Sorry, we went and got some ice cream." Hayes answered.

"That's ok, just tell us next time." Nash said and we nodded.

It's now 8:00 pm, so I should be heading home now.

"Hayes I'm gonna go home now ok? We have school tomorrow." I told him and he gave me a hug, I hugged back and we said our good byes.

Matts drove us home and as soon as I hit my bed, I fell asleep.
