next afternoon.

malia

The​ ​boys​ ​slept​ ​over​ ​last​ ​night. It kind of honestly sucked. I​ ​really​ ​just​ ​wanted​ ​to​ ​go out of​ ​my​ ​room and I don't know... walk around the house like it was an actual home? ​ But​ ​it's​ ​for​ ​the​ ​best. I don't want the same thing happening again.​

I​ ​felt​ ​my​ ​phone vibrate in my hand. I looked at my phone. It was​ ​a​ ​text​ ​from​ ​Hayes.

[ hayes ] :​ ​apparently​ ​you're​ ​coming​ ​to​ ​the​ ​next​ ​Magcon​ ​with​ ​us.

I​ ​read​ ​the​ ​text. Please​ ​don't​ ​make​ ​me​ ​go.​ ​I​ ​sighed ​before​ ​texting​ ​Hayes​ ​a​ ​reply.

[ malia ] :​ ​who​ ​on​ ​earth​ ​said​ ​I'm​ ​going?

[ hayes ] :​ ​momma​ ​said​ ​so,​ ​everything​ ​is​ ​booked​ ​and​ ​we're​ ​leaving​ ​tomorrow​ ​morning )):

[ malia ] :​ ​no,​ ​i'm​ ​not​ ​going.​ ​

[ hayes ] :​ ​why?

I​ ​groan​ed ​in​ ​frustration.

[ malia ] :​ ​you know why >:(

That​ ​means​ ​I'm​ ​missing​ ​out​ ​on school​... Meaning I have to catch up... Meaning I'll be behind... I'm not bothered.​ ​Along with that I​ ​will​ ​be​ ​leaving​ ​Jamie​ ​and​ ​Everest​ ​and that's​ ​not​ ​going​ ​to​ ​happen.​ ​I​ ​left​ ​my​ ​phone​ ​on​ ​the​ ​other​ ​side​ ​of​ ​my​ ​bed,​ ​not​ ​wanting​ ​to​ ​hear anymore​ ​of​ ​this.

"Malia..." I​ ​heard​ ​​Hayes' voice from the door.​ ​I​ ​looked​ ​over​ ​to​ ​him. He​ ​was​ ​leaning​ ​on​ ​the​ ​doorframe.​ ​

"What?"​ ​I​ ​sighed annoyed.

He ​closes​ ​the​ ​door​ ​behind​ ​him​ ​and climbed​ ​into​ ​my​ ​bed.​ ​I rested my head on his lap.

"I​ ​know​ ​you​ ​don't​ ​want​ ​to​ ​go." He frowned combing his fingers through my hair.

"I​ ​don't. I​ ​don't​ ​want​ ​to​ ​be​ ​dragged into your lifestyle. Being possibly used​ ​by everyone​ ​just​ ​to​ ​get​ ​to​ ​you​ ​guys.​ ​Receiving hate. You know the go."​ ​

I"I​ ​know,​ ​but​ ​Momma's orders Malia."

"But wouldn't she be alone? I could stay here and keep her company." Hayes shrugged.

"Hey." The door quietly squeaked open. My mum popped her head in. "Was just going to check up on you." She entered the room and softly closed the door behind her.

"Do I have to go?" I whined. She frowned and sat on the bed. "Yes honey you do. I want you to go."

"But you'll have no one."

"I have your father." She smiled sweetly. "I want you all to be together. It makes me feel less worried knowing you guys are together."

"But we're together in a total different place! We could get lost or hurt, go missing. True?"
