"No it's mine now" he said smirking

" ugh give it back!!" I quietly whined

"Ok here I'm sorry" he said giving it back

"Thank you bear" I said smiling

"You're welcome best" he said smiling wide

"Bestfriends foreverrr" he said punching the air

"Bestfriends foreverrr" I said giggling and doing the same

The bell rang and we all hopped up and grabbed our stuff. I grabbed my Bag and Hayes grabbed his then as always we intertwined our hands and walked out together.

"Umm Hayes and Talia let go of each others hands" the teacher said making us look at him

"What?" i asked

"Let go of each others hand" he said starting to yell at me

"Do you have a problem with me Mr.welt" i said laughing

"yes now you have detention" he said smirking

"Bitch" Hayes said making Mr.Welt and my eyes go wide

"DETENTION!" he yelled we both just laughed and walked out still holding hands

" We go everywhere together " he said wrappin his arm around my shoulder

"Not gonna stop now" he said smiling big

This goof is my bestfriend...wow.

...

After Detention Hayes and i walked home since it wasn't far.

"Hey Talia...Can i have your number"This boy Chris said running up to Hayes and i once we got off the bus

"umm i don't have one" i said turning my head

"You don't have a phone?" he said wide eyed

"N...no" i said looking away

"Liar!...I didn't wanna talk to you anyway ugly " he said laughing

"Hey shut up!...you're just mad she doesn't like you enough to talk to you" Hayes said making the Chris stop laughing

"What did you just say?" he said standing up to Hayes

"I said..you're mad because she doesn't like you" Hayes repeated smirking

"Ohhh " Chris said before dropping his bag going to punch Hayes but Hayes grabbed his arm and pinned him down before turning into a whole different person while fighting him.

"HAYES!!"i yelled pulling him but he was stronger than me.

"Whats going on?!!" Elisabeth yelled running over to us

"H...Hayes was pro...protecting me and they started fighting" i said still trying to pull him off

Nash came running out and pulled Hayes off finally.

When Nash put him down he instantly walked to me and pulled me upstairs closing his room door.

"Hayes whats happening" i said looking around then at him

He looked down at me and i saw all his bruises and cuts.

"Oh my gosh" i said grabbing his hand and bringing him to his bathroom.

"Its not even that bad" he said sitting on the counter

"Hayes...NOT THAT BAD?!"i said wide eyed

"Ye-"

"Hayes look at yourself" i said pointing

"I look tough" he said turning around

" ugh " i groaned before getting the stuf to clean it

...

"Are you staying over"Elisabeth asked me

"Uhh-"

"Yes" Hayes said pulling me onto his bed gently

"Hayes be careful" Elisabeth said before closing the door

"I'm bored" i said rocking back and forth in the gaming chair

"What time is it" he said falling onto the Matress

"Umm...9:05...oh we gotta go to school tomorrow" i said laying down

"Goodnight bear" i said yawning

"Goodnight bestie" he said holding my hand before i fell asleep.
