52. Happy endings

"And that's how i experienced my first official  love and first official heartbreak which wasn't really a heartbreak. Hayes and I relationship was confusing. But Between you and I, looking back, I don't think I really liked Sammy. And I don't regret anything." I explained getting out of Everly's bed, grabbing the half empty bag of chips, and rappers of candy. Making a mental note to schedule a dentist appointment for Everly.

"What? No. C'mon mom. I need to learn more! Finish the story." She pleaded with her big green with a tint of gold, eyes. Just like her daddys.

I can't cave in.

"No, no, it's almost 1 in the morning. Get some sleep, you have cheerleading practice early in the morning. Now go brush your teeth, you ate too much candy."

"Fine, fine, fine but tomorrow you have to finish the story."

"Okay, okay, goodnight. I love you." I said kissing the top of her head.

"I love you too."

I took one last look at my Babygirl, she's not a baby anymore, I can't believe she's already 13 years old. And she's the spitting image of her daddy.

Time flies.

Walking to the kitchen and getting rid of the rappers, I poured myself a glass of water reminiscing the good and bad times Hayes and I shared.

I wonder how he's doing?

Last time I saw him was at graduation, which was 17 years ago.

Time really does flies! Jesus I'm that old. okay brain shut up.

Anyways, I did hear from Bea, (yes she's still my best friend, and she's currently traveling around the world with her 3rd husband) that he got married to some model. I was happy for him. I was happy that he was moving on. Just like I did.

You may be wondering, how the does Haylee have a kid? Is she married? Who's the kid dad? What is she doing with her life?

Well to answer your questions, after everything that happened between Hayes and I, after graduation I went to college. And in my second year of college, I met this amazing guy, who's name is Wesley.

We got to know each other and I ended up pregnant at the age of 22 with Everly.

I quit college, married Wesley, whom continued college and is now the CEO of some company whose name I can't seem to memorize.

So yeah, here I am now, 35-year-old Haylee, a stay at home mom, thinking about my life.

"Can't sleep again?"

"No, I actually was bonding with our daughter."

"Oh really? This late at night? What were ya bonding over?" I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist.

"Oh nothing. Just about Boy bands, girl stuff."

"Girl stuff, huh." Wesley said kissing my shoulder.

"Mhm." I hummed relaxing under his hold, snuggling into his bare chest.

"You smell good."

"Always baby."

I rolled my eyes. Hayes used to always say that my eyes will fall out, but yet here they're still on my face. I wonder what he's doing right now. Probably in Paris with his hot wife.(I may or may not have stalked his social media when I received the news about him getting married. Which was two years ago.)

"Babe?"

"Huh? Yeah?" I replied looking up at Wesley, man, I married a human giraffe. "Sorry I kind of zoned out."

"I figured."

I rolled my eyes, again, "What were you saying?"

He smiled. "Well, I said we could finish these chips, and try to come up with names. Does that sound okay?"

Did I forget to mention that I'm 6 months pregnant with our second child and we're gonna have a beautiful baby boy?

I nodded, "it would sound better, if I got a kiss."

He gave me a toothy grin, "anything for you."

I felt his plumped lips on mine and I couldn't help but smile into the kiss, my life is great.

The end.

Oh wait I forgot to tell you what happened between Hayes and I. Well after that whole misunderstanding of the Instagram post, he forgave me for overreacting and accusing him of cheating.

Of course we had other fights and other things that normal couples go through.

We were together for a year and we tried the whole "long distant relationship" after high school, but it didn't work out.

We decided to stay as friends, but over his touring and my classes we just stop communicating with each other.

But I never stopped loving Hayes Benjamin Grier. And he will always have a special place in my heart.

I guess you can say we both got a happy ending.

The end - foreal this time.
