Noticed [On Hold]

Chapter 9

Hailey

"did you ever miss me?"

I grab her cheeks and look her straight in the eyes.

"I always miss you. I missed you yesterday, I missed you today, & I'll miss you tomorrow," I drop my hands from her face & place them on her hips.

"we had something special. The way we fell in love it was almost instant," my voice cracks at the end, "but we were toxic. we hurt eachother and it had to stop."

"i miss you too. I'm really sorry for everything. I never meant to hurt you," she says kissing my forehead.

It hurts, It really does. I hadn't expected I would fall inlove with Ariana.

I wanted her happy, I made her happy. but I couldn't keep her happy. I can still remember the day she walked out of my life as if it was just yesterday. I knew it was going to happen I just didn't think she was going to leave so soon.

I wasn't ready. I was broken but it had to happen. I wanted her happy so I let her leave.

"hails? are you okay?" she slurs

"I'm fine, let's get you home," I say putting a smile on my face

"Do you still live at the apartments in Anaheim?"

"mhhhm" she says smiling at me.

*****

I get her out of my car & start walking her to the apartment building.

"can you make it by yourself," I ask her stopping in the lobby.

"um I th-" she stops in the middle of her sentence & throws up all over the lobby floor.

I grab her hair & take my hair tie off my wrist & put her hair up in a messy bun.

"Come on love, let's get you cleaned up," I carry her to her apartment door, "Ariana where's your keys," I ask just now noticing she has nothing with her but her phone.

"um I don't know," she says laughing. 

"Ariana how are we going to get you in your apartment?"

"uhm Zayn has a key"

"Who's Zayn? where is he?"

"Zayn's my neighbor," she says pointing to the door across from us.

"Do you know if he's home?"

"um let's find out," she looks at me smirking, "ZAYNNN" she screams at the top of her lungs.

"Ariana! you can't just do that," I whisper trying to find somewhere to hide.

People start coming out of there apartments looking for where the yelling is coming from.

"um.. I'm so sorry. she's drunk. & we can't find her keys.. any of you happen to be Zayn?"

everyone goes back into there apartments except one man.

"that would be me," he says eyeing me, "I'm guessing you want her key," he says walking into his apartment grabbing her key I'm assuming.

"that would be greatly appreciated."

He walks to me getting very close and hands me her key.

"Here you go love," he says looking at me smirking.

"mhm thanks," I say grabbing it & Ariana's hand and speed walk back to her apartment door.

"BYE ZAYN," Ariana screams waving at him.

I unlock her door walking in, setting the key on her counter & grabbing a bottled water & pain relievers.

"Come on Ariana let's get you cleaned, changed & into bed asleep."
