Can we be together now? J.J

17. She hurt me!

-Brenda's point of view

"Um, sure." I nodded. "Are your things packed?"

"I have a few things out, so can you wait twenty minutes?" Hayes asked.

"I've got time." I shrugged.

"Great, and thanks!" He hugged me before leaving.

"I don't have a problem with taking Hayes with me, but what made him want to come? He was super exited for this vacation." I asked confused.

"I honestly don't know." Nash shrugged. "He has been acting weird since yesterday."

"Oh my, I'll talk to him. Anyways, I've got to go, bye guys!" I smiled.

"Brenda!" I heard Shawn shout as I was about to walk away.

"What?!" I shouted back.

"Don't leave without a hug!" He shouted while hugging me tightly.

"Bye Muffin Boy! Don't eat muffins without me!" I shouted before leaving.

Jeez, I love that crazy kid.

I walked down the hall to Hayes' room. I knocked, waiting for him to answer the door.

"Hey." He smiled as he opened the door.

"Hey, ya ready?" I asked.

"Yeah!" He nodded.

"Are you saying bye to the group?" I asked.

"Nah, they already know I'm leaving." He shrugged.

I nodded and helped him with his bags. We uploaded everything on my Jeep, and hit the road.

The ride was fun. We jammed out, and just talked. But there were a few questions bugging me.

Why did he want to leave?

Why was he acting strange?

And why didn't he say bye?

I didn't ask him on the ride, but I will ask him once we settle in my apartment.

After an hour of driving and traffic, we finally made it to my apartment. I let Hayes stay in the guest room.

"Hey, how about we settle in and then get some food?" I asked.

"Yeah, sounds good." He smiled.

I walked back to my room, and unpacked all of my clothes. I separated the clothes I used from the ones I didn't. After thirty minutes, I was done.

I walked to the guest room, and knocked.

"Alright, I'm done. Let's go!" He shouted.

"Do you want to eat somewhere in specific and eat there, or get take out?" I asked him.

"If you don't mind, I would rather get take out." He mumbled. "I'm kind of tired. Does Chinese food sound good?"

"Yeah, totally!" I smiled. "I'll order it while you pick a movie or something!"

"Great, and Brenda?" Hayes called. "Thank you for letting me come with you. I don't know what I would've done without you."

"It's no problem."

"Guys! What do we do?" Shawn sighed.
