A Life Worth Living

chapter 39

My heart was shattered. It was only 11 and I wanted to sleep my pain off. I couldn't though, so I knocked on Nash's door. He opened it and I went in and sat on his bed.

"He broke up with me." I looked at Nash and he rushed over to me. He put his arm around me for comfort. "Here, take my phone and read it." Nash was done reading the text.

"I'm sorry. Saying your name put you in this position, but I can't change Hayes' mind. He is very stubborn. I'm so sorry Dal." Nash hugged me and I started to cry. "He doesn't know what he is doing, just promise me you won't cut. Don't talk to other guys either, just stay with Emma and Charlie."

"How do you know I cut myself before?" Nash choked a little bit. "Did Hayes tell you?"

"He told me when I walked in on you guys....." Nash was quiet. "Promise me Dal."

I hugged Nash. "Promise." I got up and went outside on the back porch. I couldn't stand being in Hayes' room, too many memories. Anne came up to me.

"Are you crying sissy?" She looked at my face that was really red.

"Yea, Hayes isn't my boyfriend anymore Cakes. You should go play with Sky."

"Do we have to move out now?"

"No. Annee please leave me alone right now." She looked sad and walked back inside with me. I watched netflix, but everything I watched reminded me of Hayes. I climbed out of his window and I walked to the trestle.
When I got there Max was there.

"Hey Max. I haven't seen you in a while." I got up and sat next to him up on the trestle.

"Is it true Hayes was stabbed? He never answered my texts."

"Yea."

"Oh, thats terrible, do you know where he is?"

"Yea, in the hospital floor 3 room 355."

"Nice. You look sad, what's the matter?" He placed an arm around me, I could barely talk. "Hayes broke up with me." Max looked at me and hugged me. "Don't think because he isn't
my boyfriend you can take his place." I wiggled my eyebrows and Max just laughed. "It's going to be very hard to move on, I mean we only dated about 2 weeks, but so much shit happened. Last night he told me that he thought we would last forever and that he loved me. I'm so heart broken and confused. Max, do you think there is another girl?" I looked at him.

"Uh-­ uh­- uh- no. Hayes wouldn't d-­"

"You stuttered. Who is it?"

"Its...." his voice faded. I punched his shoulder. "Its Megan! Look, they used to meet up in
the middle of the night. That's why he wanted you to be friends with Emma and Charlie, so he wouldn't feel so guilty. I'm sorry Dallas." I got up and put my phone down on the trestle. I went to the side we were supposed to jump off of. I turned so my back was to the water. I crossed my arms and started to fall backwards. I thought I was falling, but Max grabbed me. "What are you thinking!"

"I'm going to go. This stays between us." I grabbed my phone and walked off the trestle. He grabbed me. He turned me around and kissed. I placed my hands around his neck, he placed his hands on my waist. He moved his head backwards causing us to stop kissing. I looked down and bit my lip. "You sure are a catch." I grabbed his head and kissed one more time.
