A Life Worth Living

chapter 13

Monday morning sucked. I didn't want to get up, but I did. I put on leggings, a basketball tournament shirt, and tan moccasins. Liz took Hayes and I to school. Hayes was quiet.

"You're quiet today, you alright?" He just shrugged his shoulders at me and then he walked into homeroom. That kind of annoyed me how he just walked into homeroom. "You seem out of it, you want to talk?"

"I'm fine alright?!" He yelled at me. I sat down and nearly cried. When the bell rang I went right to first period science and I sat with Emma not Hayes.

"Did something happen?" she asked.

"He was quiet, so I asked him if he was ok. He yelled at me saying he was fine. I know something's up, but he won't let me know what." I felt tears coming.

"Ouch. Don't cry. If you cry people will think you're weak," she said.

"I know," I gave a light chuckle, "it just hurt. I didn't want him to be mad at me, I only wanted to help." I looked at him and he was looking at me. I turned to Emma.
When class ended I rushed to my locker so I wouldn't have to deal with Hayes, but he caught up to me."Sorry I snapped, its just that you never texted me yesterday. I felt I was being replaced by Emma and Charlie, and when you sat with her I was being replaced." I ignored him. "Babe, you know I wouldn't hurt you, I just want you to myself." I smiled then he smiled. "I'm sorry." I turned around and kissed him.

"You will never be replaced Benjamin Hayes Grier."

"Never call me that." I grinned and we walked to class hand in hand.

When school was over I decided to hang with Hayes at my house. We were hanging in my room. I was laying on my bed and Hayes was laying on me. He started to kiss me and my legs wrapped around him and his hand was gliding on my thigh.

"What do­-" it was my mom, Hayes got off me. "Um wtf was happening?" she asked. "Hayes would you be so kind to leave my house and let me and my daughter talk for a while?"

"Yes ma'am." He left without saying goodbye.

"I know he's your boyfriend, but you're 14 YEARS OLD!" She was yelling.
"We were making out, nothing big, we weren't going to bang," I shot at her.

"You're grounded for 3 days, and it starts now." she started to walk out.

"That's bullshit. I know when you were young you smoked pot and were banging boys, all I did was make­out with him. Get over it, I'm growing up and I'm going to make­out with my boyfriend," I snapped. She walked up to me and punched my face and walked out. As soon as she shut her door I climbed out my window and ran to Hayes' house and I climbed in his room.
