I open my eyes and sit up to see I'm on the couch alone. I get up and walk to the back door to see everyone on the porch. I walk out and I get sad stares from everyone.
"Why the looks?" I ask walking over to Hayes.
"It's cam.." Hayes says kicking his head out to the beach where I see a figure standing there in the wind. His hands by his side and his hair getting all messed up but he doesn't move. He just stares out into the ocean.
I look back to see that Lox is crying.
I furrow my eyebrows and look back to Hayes.
"His parents where in a car accident, they aren't going to make it." He says softly. My breath hitches in my throat and I feel my eyes start to burn. I turn back to cam to see his head hanging low. I take off in a jog twards him. It's hard to run in the sand only because I just woke up. But I ignore the burn in my legs and keep running.
"When I get to him I stop behind him. Breathing hard because I'm crying.
He turns around to face me, his eyes red and puffy. There are tear marks down his cheeks and his bottom lip is shaking.
He walks up to me and hugs me. I hug back but we are both sobbing. I have my arms around his waist and he has his around my shoulders.
After about 3 minutes of hugging and crying I pull away and look him in the eyes.
I take a breath. "I'm not going to tell you that it's going to okay, because it's not..." I have to pause to try to blink away the tears. i need to be strong for him right now.
"It's going hurt, and your going to want to give up.. But you have to be strong.. Be as strong as your parents would want you to be." I step closer to him and put my hands on his cheeks to wipe away the tears.
"I love you... We all love you. And we are all here okay?" I say letting a few tears fall down my face.
He gives my a tiny nod and goes back to hugging me.

"StarBucks or Java Juice?" lox asks.
"starbucks." hayes says keeping his eyes on his phone.
"I'm with hayes" i say looking up off of my phone screen.
i turn my phone off and unbuckle.
when lox puts the car in park and turns it off we all hop out.
when we walk inside i group of girls sitting at a table all turn to us. i can see it on there faces. fans.
at once they all get up and run over to us.
"can i take a picture with you?" one girl asks hayes.
some people ask, don't you get jealous? and i always say no. i put it like this;i don't get jealous. getting jealous is wanting something you don't have.i get territorial. getting territorial is protecting what is already yours. so in this case, Hayes is mine.
