It's Just Love.. (Hayes Grier)

Chapter 10- Can You Tell Me?

**ALYSSA'S POV**

I woke up in the middle of the night to my face pressed against Hayes' chest and I was all sweaty, which was weird because I usually don't get hit in my sleep.

"I hope I'm not sick." I whispered to myself.

"What was that?" Hayes asked. He must have heard me.

"I think I might be sick." I
Frowned.

"Awe, babe." He pushed a piece of hair behind my ear and kissed my cheek. "Want to check your temperature?" I bit my lip and nodded.

We both hopped out of the bed and walked to the bathroom, grabbing the thermometer. He turned it on and stuck it in my mouth.

"Be right back." He mumbled and walked out of the room. A few moment a later he came back. "It's 5:30." He said. I nodded and took the beeping thermometer out of my mouth.

101.6. Great.

I held the thermometer in front of his his face so that he could see it. He immediately frowned and looked over at my frowning face. He gave me a small hug.

"It's alright. I'll stay here with you tomorrow. You can even invite Kayla if you Want." He smiled.

"Maybe. Thank you." I smiled back.
----------------------------------------------

I opened my eyes and leaned over. I guess I leaned over a little to much because before I could realize it, I was on the floor, holding my head in pain.

"Ouchie!" I yelled.

"Are you okay?" Hayes leaned over the edge of the bed, his hair was messy and his eyes were hardly open.

"Yes." I giggled, sitting up and giving him a kiss. He grabbed my hand and pulled me to my feet.

"Oh, it's only 8:00." I frowned. "Sorry that I woke you up."

"It's okay, everybody else is up anyways. They are eating breakfast downstairs. Want to go?" He smiled.

"I guess. Let me take some headache medicine first." I replied walking to the bathroom. I opened up the cabinet and grabbed some Motrin. I walked out of the bathroom and had Hayes open it for me, then I put to in my hand, grabbed Hayes' Gatorade, put the pills in my mouth, and took a big gulp.

"Ready to go." I nodded towards the door. He nodded back and we walked out.
----------------------------------------------

When we got down to the café we were greeted by all of the other boys, who were also in there pajamas. We sat down at the huge table they were at and began to chat.

"You don't seem to hot." Brent looked over at me.

"I'm pretty sure I'm sick." My smile dropped.

"Are you going to animal kingdom with us?" He asked.

"I don't think so." I bit my lip and shook my head.

"But you can stay here alone." He stated.

"I know-"

"I'm going to stay with her." Hayes smiled from beside me. He grabbed my hand under the table and gave it a reassuring squeeze. I looked over at him and smiled.

"You don't have to." I whispered.

"But I want to." He replied, smirking.

Hayes and I went and got some food along with everybody else. I was not hungry at all so I just grabbed a chocolate chip muffin and some snacks for later in the room.
----------------------------------------------

"Bye guys. Be careful." Nash said. "Don't do anything stupid." Brent added. I rolled my eyes and have him a hug goodbye. Before I knew it, everyone was gone.

"It's really hit in here." Hayes said.

"You think it's hot? I'm the sick one!" I exclaimed.

"That's true." He laughed. He took the bottom of his shirt but then stopped and look at me. "Can I?" He asked.

"You can." I responded, smirking. I closed my eyes.

"Why did you close your eyes? Just enjoy the view." He laughed really loud and picked me up. He threw me on the bed and started tickling me. I was laughing and screaming at the same time. "That will teach you to enjoy." He smirked and then laughed really loud.

When we were all done having fun, we laid back down in bed because it was only 10:15. Spongebob was on for like, the millionth time since we've been here.

"This okay?" He looked over at me. I nodded and we got comfortable.

We sat in silence for what felt like forever, but had only been about half an hour. It wasn't awkward silence though.

"Hey Alyssa..?" He broke the silence.

"Yeah?" I looked over at him. He had worry in his eyes. "Are you okay?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine..are you? I noticed something when we went swimming yesterday. Can you tell me?" He said. I gave him a confused look and he kept going. "Can you pull up your sleeves." He looked away from me.

Now I knew exactly what he was talking about. I was frozen. I didn't know whether I should tell him or not. But he's my boyfriend, he deserves to know. I looked back at him and then sighed. I pulled up my sleeves, showing all of the past. He looked at me with great sympathy.

"Alyssa.." He trailed off. I then pulled down the part of my bands that was on my right hip, also exposing scars there.

"Why?" He asked. I shrugged.

"I don't even know. It's the past. I hated myself." I said.

He gave me a hug.

"Everything is going to be alright."
