Sophia Mendes-Secrets

Arrival

I feel someone shaking me, and Teagan licking my face. I hazily open my eyes. Scrunching my face up at Teagan and kissing her head, I turn over to the boys. Aaron was shaking me awake.

The rest of the boys were standing up and getting ready to go.

"Sophia, the plane has landed, it's time to head to the hotel," Aaron said then went with the boys.

I get up and walk out with the boys. Teagan has her front paws/legs rested on my shoulder, while I held the rest of her body up. Teagan's head was looking around, trying to observe the new surroundings. We get our luggage and head outside. Matt comes back with a rented van.(since ours won't come in till tomorrow)

Everyone gets in the van. Yet again Teagan's bag is taking up my seat so I sit on Hayes lap. We sat the same way as when we were going to the airport. I was petting Teagan's head, and she was wagging her tail. I feel Hayes put his head on my shoulder and his arm around me.

"You still never said why you're wearing long sleeves," Hayes whispers in my ear sending chills down my spine. I looked down, but I could feel Hayes looking at me.

"Why do you even care? It doesn't matter anyway," I say softly.

"Yes it does, you have to be hot, just roll up your sleeves," Hayes says. Before I could process what was happening, Hayes was raising my left sleeve. I quickly lower my sleeve, but I know he saw. He didn't see my whole arm though. It would have made it look worse. Hayes was still and quiet. He only saw a bit of my wrist.

"Why," he says.

"Like I said it doesn't matter," I said quietly.

"Stop that, it does so just tell me now," Hayes says a little louder, but the boys still don't hear.

"Tell me or you'll regret it," He sternly says.

"No," I say stubbornly.

"Talk to me, because I will get it out of you. We don't have to tell them boys, at least not yet. So tell me, or I will punish you. You won't like it, but I only want to help you," Hayes sternly says. Hayes turns me on his lap, so that I am facing a little more towards him. He stares me straight in the eye. But I look away.

"We can do this the easy way or the hard way. You want to tell me now?" Hayes says using his fingers to tilt my chin back to his face.

"Okay...." I mumble.

"We're almost at the hotel guys!" Cameron informs us.

The boys only hum in response. Hayes leans me back into him, and I snuggle up in his chest. He tightly holds me.

"We can talk about this," He says pointing at my wrist. "after the boys and I tell you the rules and punishment in the hotel room," Hayes tells me. I only nod. I wish both of those things don't happen. Then I fell the car stop, and we are at the hotel.

"Okay guys let's check into our rooms, and have the discussion," Shawn says pointing at me.
