A Life Worth Living

chapter 18

The next morning Hayes woke me up. I put on pink sweats that were Pink, my black Pink sweatshirt, and black uggs. I got ready for school, Hayes and I were both early, so we decided to walk to school.

"It's a nice day out" I said.

"Yea, listen for last night I'm really honestly sorry," his voice was about to crack. I grabbed his hand.

"I know, it's just that two people I never thought would hurt me did." Now I was ready to break down in his arms.

"I know.. and that's why I'm really sorry."

"Good." I stopped walking and I jumped on his back. "To Narnia!!"

"Or school!" We both laughed. "I'm happy that you're happy."

"Me too."

After school, I went home with Charlie and Emma, we went to Emma's house instead of mine. We copied off of each other's homework and ate pretzels.

"So do you guys want to watch some movies?" asked Emma.

"I don't mind," said Charlie.

"Shawty I don't mind, if you dance on a pole, that don't make you a hoe," I sang. Everyone was laughing and we ended up watching The Best Of Me, honestly it was such a good movie. We all were crying and you could tell we all got the feels. Hayes texted me, and Emma and Charlie were doing that 'OOO' thing.
"He just asked how everything is," I said, "It is just a text guys."

"From your boyfriend that you're living with!" added Charlie. "How is that going?"

"Alright, we had a bit of a problem last night, but-­"

"No butt's missy, tell us what happened," said Emma as she un scrunched her eyebrows.

"Hayes and Nash were getting into it and I tried to drag Hayes away, but he pushed me off him, and I hit the wall..." I told them. It was silent for a while. "It was an accident, and I didn't get hurt he-­"

"He just pushed you... into a wall..."

"He said it was an accid-­"

"It isn't the first time he 'accidentally hurt a girl," said Charlie, "he also hit a girl named Jessica, she was his girlfriend 2 years ago and she hugged Nash and he got jealous, when she tried to explain to hayes what happened, Hayes pushed her off of him and she got a concussion... you're the first girlfriend ever since." Charlie hung her head down.

"Sorry, we just had to tell you before you actually got hurt," Emma whispered, "but if he did it to you it wasn't just an accident" I walked outside, and Nash picked me up, no hayes. I don't think being with the girls right now is smart, I'd blow up.

I got into Nash's car.
"Does he know you're driving me?" I asked.

"Yea, why?"

"Well I heard about this girl named Jessica.."

"Listen, he was jealous and mad, he just didn't want her to touch him so he pushed her off him. It just so happened that she tripped over a box and hit her head, he never pushed her hard enough. I was there."

"So if he's mad and jealous, he gets physical?"

"That's not what I meant. She came running right past Hayes and right up to me. I'd be mad too." Nothing was said after that.
We pulled into the driveway. I saw Hayes running out the front door with the biggest smile on his face. My grim look changed into a big smile.
