*Haley?* I texted to my best friend. To my surprise she responds immediately.
*Grace? Im glad to hear you're still alive* I could hear the sarcasm as if she were sitting next me.
Ever since I started sneaking around with Niall I hadn't talked to her much. Just another thing to feel guilty about (ugh). She had texted me back though. She couldn't be too upset if she was ever upset. I wonder if she missed me.
*Can we talk? There's something I need to tell you.*
*Im assuming that you've been busy with a boy and now you need some type of help...am I right?* She texted back.
*Am I that obvious or do you just know me too well?* I texted back asking.
*I had a feeling. I did the same thing when I met Ben...but come over whenever. I'll be home."
I put my phone down and went to go get dressed. The moment I stepped into the shower I cried. I let everything out. The stress, the fear, everything. I had to have been in there for at least half an hour but it felt good.
I had cried more than ever since being in this twisted relationship. Ive never been that emotional.
I threw on a pair of jeans a simply T-Shirt. It was just Haley. I passed my mother on my way out. She was sitting curled up on the couch and I couldn't make out what she was saying. The phone was pressed to her ear.
"Where are you going," she asked sounding suspiciously. So much for her trusting me.
"Im going to see Haley." She nodded leaning back onto the couch focused back on her phone call.
*On my way* I texted Haley. It seemed like forever since I had drove my car as I started it up. I usually rode in the passenger seat of Niall's while my mom was at work. He never liked telling me where we going, simply saying that Id love it. I always did.
I pulled up to Haley's house within minutes. I could've walked...lazy. I knocked on the door excited to finally see her She had been my best friend since the third grade. We had been through a lot together, and Ive definitely helped her through countless situations.
Her annoying older brother Devin came to the door instead. A can of soda in one hand a slice of pizza in the other.
"Oh its you," he sneered.
"Nice to see you too," I snapped sarcastically. I pushed past him into the house to find Haley. A football game was on and the rest of the house seemed empty.
"She isn't here," he announced. My face fell.
"What?"
"She said she hated you and never wanted to see you again." I rolled my eyes walking upstairs to her bedroom.
"Grace Grace what a disgrace," he taunted.
"Devin! Sounds a lot like devil!" I stuck my tongue out like a child before opening the door to Haley's bedroom.
She was sprawled out on her bed with her headphones on and about 5 different magazines were laying around. Her room reeked of nail polish and perfume (as always) but I missed it. She blew on her nails as she read. Same old Haley.
"Grace," she exclaimed rushing up to hug me while still being cautious of her nails.
"Why don't you open up a window in here," I complained making a face. She helped me pull open the window before we both settled onto her tiny bed.
I grabbed a random strand of her hair.
"I swear every time I see you your eyes get bluer and your hair gets blonder." She shrugged me off tying her hair up into a sloppy bun on top of her head.
"So whats up," she asked. I took a deep breath.
"Promise not to judge me?"
"Pinky promise!"
"Ok...IM IN LOVE WITH MY MOM'S BOYFRIEND'S SON AND NOW MY MOM'S MARRYING HIS DAD!" I blurted it out quick and loud.
She took a moment to process everything I had just said, then beamed holding her heart.
"Aww! How romantic!" What?
"Thats the part where your supposed to tell me how so stupid I am and make me break up with him!"
"I can't break apart true love," she nearly shouted in disbelief that Id even say something like that. "Plus, I should be yelling at you for not telling me! I need more details!"
I told her about our first kiss and the party and that kiss. I told her everything.
"And then we got caught sleeping together in my room this morning.". She gasped.
"And you told me about none of this?! I thought you were my best friend!" I loved Haley but I wasn't getting the reaction I needed. "I have to meet him! What's he like?'
"Well...he's got blonde hair and blue eyes." I laughed. "Like you!" She glared at me. "Okay okay! He's irish and he plays guitar. He really sweet and loves to eat. He most importantly makes me feel good...and loves me."
By the time I finished my cheeks were flaming but I was too lost in thought to realize it. How could I ever let someone as perfect as him go. Ugh.
"Earth to Grace!" Haley waved her hand over my face and I snapped back into reality.
"Sorry, I just..." I covered my face with my hands smiling uncontrollably just at the thought of him. I had it bad.
"Sheesh Grace! He must be really important. I have to meet him like NOW!" My smile turned into a frown.
"I don't know about "now." He hasn't called me all morning and I don't know how he'a taking the engagement." She sighed reaching for my phone before I could stop her.
"Its off." She turned the screen to me and I realized it was. When did I do that?
We turned it on and about a thousand texts and missed calls came flooding through. All from Niall.
