Hayes Grier fanfic: beneath the stars

Chapter 19

Hayes's POV:
I don't know what happened between us, did she just WANT to be friends?

I felt my anger and sadness bubble up inside me.

I then couldn't take it anymore

Without even thinking,
I brought my left fist up

And punched the wall.

I felt pain..

But I never said it bothered me.

My mind was going crazy as I laid down in my bed staring at the ceiling wondering what I did wrong. I loved her..

But I guess she didn't love me.

I heard footsteps at the door,
"What the hell hayes?" Nash said,

I looked at him and just by the look on his face he knew something was wrong.

"Okay. What is it now?" Nash said, taking a seat on my bed

"There's this girl and.."

"Is this about the girl on the camping trip?"
My eyes went wide for a moment

"how do u know!?"

"Jeff told me, but he didn't tell me who the girl was"

I got quiet for a moment.
"So?" Nash said,

"So what?"

"Who's the girl poo bear?" He joked.

A part of my anger drifted away just by talking to Nash.

"It's.. Althea" I mumbled. Barley getting the words out of my mouth
So he couldn't hear

"Who?" Nash said,

"...Althea.." I mumbled quietly again

"WHO" Nash said again,

This time I raised my voice

"ALTHEA. OKAY NASH?! ALTHEA..."

"Althea? Like the Althea who were family friends with?"

"Wait.. We are?"
Nash laughed.

"Dude, we've been family friends with her family since we were little. She just never went to the parties that our families have had together"

"Why not?"

"I don't know, but what I DO know is, she'll be at the Christmas party this year that are family is hosting here"

"Really?" I asked,

"REALLY" nash replied, and he got up from my bed and walked out the door.

"SO DONT DO ANYTHING STUPID POO BEAR" he yelled as he walked out.

I sat there for a minute,

I just wanted Althea to know how I felt about her and maybe.. Just maybe she'd feel the same way as I do.

I got up from bed and went to the bathroom, I passed Nash's room

"You better get your hand fixed up before mom gets home" he said smiling at me.

I smiled back.

Why do I keep putting my anger out by punching stuff?

Althea made me go crazy..

But I was just crazy for her.

I laughed to myself at my own pun jokes as I wrapped my hand up, washing the blood away, it's not like I haven't gotten hurt before. I've gotten hurt in football, lacrosse and basketball many times. This wasn't new.

I went back to my room And I spent the whole night, just thinking how I would fix all of this,

At the Christmas party.
