A Piece of My Heart

Chapter one (picture of Hayden)

"Don't worry mom," I said as I pulled her in for a hug, " I'll only be gone for a week."

"I know, it's just that my baby's all grown up," she said squeezing the air out of my lungs. I coughed and she finally let go.

"I'm 17 now I think I can handle a week without my parents."

"I love you Hayden."

"Love you too mom. And hey," she looked back at me before getting in the car," drive home safe okay?"

"Okay." I waved to them as I pulled out of the driveway and finally dipped down the hill.

"Are you ready for this?" I heard my cousin Kylie walk up next to me.

"Hell yes!" As I picked up my bags and followed her into her parents beach house. Our family wasn't rich. But they did some how come up with enough money to give all of the kids trust funds.

"So people are gonna start getting here in about a half an hour or so... So we should probably get ready." Kylie said as she led me Down a hallway.

"Help me with my outfit?"

"Of course!" She stopped in front of a door, "This room is for you," she said as she opened the door. I walked in and gasped.

The room was huge with a whole wall of just Windows that showed a breath taking view on the beach outside.

"Oh. My. God!!!!" I pretty much screamed in her ear, "it's freaking amazing!!" I said as I turned to her and hugged her.

"It's the best room in the house," she said and winked, " and it's just for you. I knew you'd love it," she said and giggled as she watched me run around the room.

She grabbed my bags for me and opened a door and set them down as I fell on the bed. I sat up and expected to see her standing there but she wasn't.

"Kylie?"

"In here," I heard her voice in the room she opened the door to. I opened the door and walked in. I walked through a long hallway and came to and opening. It was a walk in closet!!!!

"How big is your house?!"

"Pretty big," she laughed, " I went shopping for you before you got here." She said as she looked through the clothes.

She threw a pair of black ripped skinny jeans a black crop top and a black and white plaid button up on the island in the middle of the closet. "Here you go," she said as she began to walk out, "oh and make sure you tie the plaid around your waist."

"Got it. Thank you so much!"

"Anytime. I'll be in the other room across the hall." She said as she walked out.

I threw on the jeans and the shirt and tied the plaid around my waist. I walked over to the shoes and picked up a pair of Nike's. I walked out of the closet and went to the bathroom. I took out my makeup and applied fresh makeup. After I finished I started taking my hair out of my French braids and left it curly. Then I heard the door bell ring.

"Shit." I heard Kylie say. "Hey Hayden can you get the door? It's probably just Grayson he's always early."

"Yeah, sure."

"Thanks. I'll be down in a minute."

I walked through the hallway and down the stairs. The door bell rang once again just as I put my had on the handle and swung it open. He looked at me and he looked completely stunned.

"Hi," I said. He stopped looking me up and down.

"Um.. Hi."

"Are you Grayson?"
