Chapter 20

*** just wanted to say thank u for so many reads, I know it isn't the MOST read fanfic but 100 reads is a lot for me haha, enjoy this chapter! If this gets 110 reads tonight I'll update again, I have lots of chapters saved.***

Althea's POV:
I didn't know why I did that,
Between Hayes and I.

It took me a couple hours to figure out why I actually did that.

It took me a lot of thinking, and then I knew the answer.

I did that because...

It's not suppose to be like this. I'm not suppose to fall for Hayes, and he isn't suppose to fall for me.
Even if he really did fall for me,
Were just 2 different people.

Someone better will come along, and then he'll leave me. Like they always do.

He's the football captain, the brother of Nash Grier, he comes from a vine and football famous family.

Of course many girls will fall for him,
And he won't have a problem with it

He'll walk out of my life as if I'm nothing and he won't care.

So that's why,

I did it..

To protect myself from heartbreak.

I'm actually sad, sad that this is how it ended.

But he's my first love right? I guess you could say,

And everyone says,

That your first love, is the person who you'll always have feelings for. Even if it's the smallest amount of feeling for them in the world. It's still feeling. And it'll always be for them.

I was doing some homework and listening to music in the living room when I heard my mom call my name,

"Althea! I'm home!" She yelled,

I ran over to her,
"Hi!" I said, trying to hide my sadness behind my smile.

"You look like you had a good day, are you feeling better?" She asked,

I didn't have a good day at all mom.

I hesitated for a moment,
"Uh, not much of a good day, because I was sick and all. But I'm feeling better than before" I said.

Wow. I'm so good at lying about my emotions. I deserve an award.

"I'm glad your feeling better, because this year your coming with me to the Grier's Christmas party in a few weeks"

She walked to the kitchen to get dinner ready as I followed her

"What?! Do I have to?!"

"You haven't even been to ANY of the parties, ever since you were little. PLEASE come. Just this once"

"Argh. Alright"

I was NOT happy about this. Of course I'm friends with Hayes and all. But it's just going to be awkward.

"Besides, your friends with Hayes and Nash right? And I'm pretty sure there will be some girls your age there as well"

Oh joy. More girls around hayes,

"And, I heard a new family just arrived in town and they have a son your age that goes to school with you.. Chandler? Is that his name?"

"Yes mom.."

"Well there you go, and YOU are coming with me. I expect you to be wearing something nice that night"

"Fine.." I mumbled to myself as I went upstairs to my room.

I buried my head into my pillow,

Just thinking about this Christmas party gave me a headache,

But I had other important things to worry about,

I decided to just forget hayes,

To try and brings things back to the way they use to. When he was just the football Captain that everybody loved, and I was the non social girl, who did nothing but read, write, and was a part of the volleyball team.

And then i spent the whole night doing homework, trying to bring my life back to normal,

When there was no, "Hayes Grier" in my life.
