I woke up by a loud sound. I don't know what that was..

I looked at Shawn. He was awake on his phone.

"What was that?" I asked and rubbed my eyes.

"I don't know. But I over heard Aria and Hayes in a small argument." Shawn said.

I nodded and saw Hayes walk back into the living room.

"Is everything okay?" I asked.

"Yeah, Aria just doesn't want to stay." He said.

"Well, Hayes if she don't want to stay you guys can leave today. Don't feel pressured into staying because I suggested it." I said.

"I know. It's just it's not just about staying here for a little bit longer it's that I also wanted to find a apartment around the area and move here to be closer to you guys and my brother. But, she's against that idea." He said.

"Don't do anything to ruin your relationship with her." Shawn said.

"I know it's just that I've been thinking about this for the past few months. I've always wanted to move here. I just didn't know how to tell Aria. I've found a job here. It pays well. I've been looking at apartments and I found an amazing one. It's that she don't want to leave her family behind. But it's also the same way around for me." Hayes explained.

"You're just going to work that out with her." I said.

"And Hayes. You don't need to find an apartment. You can always live here. That was the original plan anyways." I smiled.

"That's the last thing that Aria would want to do." He laughed.

"Why?" Shawn asked.

"She thinks the only reason why I want to stay here is because Liz is here." He said.

What? Why would she think that? Hayes is totally over me. I think..

"It's not though, right?" I asked.

"No, it's not. Well, yes. I would really miss you if I left again but you're not the only reason why I want to stay." Hayes said.

I nodded and he smiled and walked back up stairs.

I looked at Jace and he opened his eyes.

"Hey." I smiled.

"What time is it?" He asked in his sexy raspy voice.

"7." I laughed.

"Come here." Jace smiled and put out his arms.

I cuddled up and laid down in his arms.

"I love you, babe." He smiled and kissed my forehead.

"I love you too." I smiled.

For some reason I feel like Hayes still has feelings for me. Not to sound cocky but it's just the way he's been acting. It's strange...
