A Piece of My Heart

Chapter two (picture of Kylie)

I wake up and open my eyes, the sun was shining so bright, it gave me the worst headache.

I threw the blanket over my head. "KYLIE!!"

She rushes in, "yes?"

"Can you shut those blinds or turn the sunlight off." I ask.

"You have the remote that controls the shades, idiot." She walks over to the night stand and grabs a silver remote and pushes the green button. The shades begin to go down and it gets dark in my room.

"Thank you."

"Mhm. Grayson's coming over in ten minutes and so is Theo. Get ready" she says walking out.

I get up and do my awkward morning stretch.

I grab my makeup out of the suitcase along with a maroon crop top and shorts.

That's when I felt sick.

I rushed to the bathroom and started vomiting.

I hear the front door open and then someone running up the stairs.

"Hayden?" Grayson says.

"In here."

He rushes to the bathroom and grabs my hair, pulling it away from my face.

"Liam called me last night saying you were drinking a lot, that's when I figured you'd have a hangover this morning and so I decided to come over."

"I think I'm done." I stand up and he helps me.

He flushes the toilet and follows me into the room.

I start undressing and putting my clothes on. "So is that all you came here for? Because I believe I'm done now."

"No, I wanted to talk about last night."

He takes a seat on my bed covering his eyes while I put my bra on.

"I don't remember much so you're gonna have to refresh my memory. What happened last night, did we do the nasty? Oh my god."

"No no, nothing like that at all. We just kissed and I thought you liked it and then you ran out."

"Huh, for some reason I can't remember that." I say, even though I remember it perfectly.

The way his hands felt sliding down my body and gripping my hair, the way the kiss was so perfect and his lips were so soft. God what was I doing? Hayden snap out of it!

Hayden??" Grayson says snapping his fingers in my face.

"Yeah sorry," I laugh.

"You should probably get dressed." he says looking me up and down in the mirror. He wraps his arms around my waist and starts kissing my shoulders and going up to my neck. I close my eyes and slightly tilt my head to the side. Then my phone rings ruining the moment. I groan and Grayson lets go of me takes off his shirt and hands it to me. I throw it on and walk over to my phone. I slide it open to answer the call without checking the caller ID.

"Hello?"

"Hi, is this Hayden James?" a woman answers.

"Yes, this is she"

"We're very sorry to bother you this early in the morning but we have some news..." she trails off and I can already feel my stomach start to drop.

"What happened?" I turn around and Grayson looks at me with concern and 'mouths whats going on?' i shake my head and tell him to hold on.

"We are calling from the Santa Barbara Hospital, a few bodies where found in an accident on the side of the road the other day and were brought in. They were put on life support. They died early this morning. We have reason to believe that these bodies were Parker and Lexi James, where going to need you to come identify the bodies."

"Of course."

"Thank you miss James. Please try and be here as soon as possible." They hung up the phone. I was silent. This couldn't possibly be happening. No... It couldn't. I heard screaming around me and everything was blurry. The room started to spin. Strong arms came around me and embraced me in a hug. Then I looked around the room that stopped spinning and came into focus and I realized I was the once screaming. Liam Kylie and Theo stood around Grayson and I staring at me like I was crazy. Grayson pulled me in closer to his chest and I let everything sink in.

I hold onto Grayson and start crying on his shoulder.

"Can everyone leave please?" He asks.

I hear the room door shut quietly and Grayson picks me up and lays down with me on the bed.

"What's wrong princess?"

All I do is start crying harder.

"Baby girl it's gonna be okay."

"My m-mom used to call m-me that." I say crying a lil bit.

"Oh yeah? Did something happen to her?" He says gently, tracing his fingers in circles on my back.

I nod.

"Can you tell me what happened?"

"C-car crash." I sob.

"Oh my god Hayden, is that what the phone call was about?"

I nod. "I have to go to the morgue and identify the bodies."

"They must've been messed up pretty bad if they can't even identity them."

"Grayson, can I have a minute alone?"

"No, I'm sorry but I'm not gonna leave you alone after what you just found out."

"I need to go to the morgue as soon as possible." I say.

To be honest my mind was empty. I felt numb and I couldn't really process the fact that my parents were gone.

It's just like I saw my mom yesterday and she was telling me to be careful and have fun and told me how amazing I've become and now she's gone.

My life was just getting good too, getting guys who actually don't just wanna have sex or use me, getting along with my cousin and being able to spend time with her.

I finally felt loved, and then all the sudden life decides to fuck me over once again.
