She's Mine - Hayes Grier

Chapter 3

Riley's POV:

I awoke from my hour slumber next to Skylynn. I heard a faint, but loud noise coming from the living room. I slipped out of Skylynn's bed, making sure not to wake her, and quietly snuck downstairs. I peeked my head around the doorway and there he sat. Hayes Grier. I paused and took in the sight of him, it hit me so hard. My biggest crush in the world that has never even heard my name is standing right before me. Holy. Shit. I can't believe this is happening. My legs were trembling, and getting weak. I'm so nervous. What if I screw up and look like an annoying bitch like always. What if- 

"Hi...” He was talking to me. And smiling. He’s smiling holy shit. Damn his smile is damn. Hot damn he is super fine. Fuck fuck fuck say something.

"Hi...” I smiled back. Trying not to look really creepy.

"I'm uh, I'm H-" 

"Hayes Grier. I know." I cut him off. Idiot. Jesus I’m an idiot. Stupid riley.

"You do?" he said in confusion.

"Yeah, I'm a huge fan of Macon." I looked down not making eye contact. Although I was itching to stare into his crystal blue eyes.

"Sweet. You uh wanna watch a movie?" He leaned sideways trying to get me to look at him. I looked up at his perfect face and nodded.

"Sure." 

He led me to the couch and we plopped pretty far away from each other. It was kind of awkward and I hated it. To be honest I was ready to jump on top of him and make out with him but we all know that will never happen. He got up to go press play and the movie began. Slam me in my tender asshole it’s a fucking scary movie. I HATE scary movies. He sat down pretty close to me this time and I was shaking. I can't believe I’m here, with him. 

"Stop shaking Riley. It's just me." he nudged me with his shoulder with a smirk.

"I'm sorry I can’t help it. It’s kind of unreal." I said with a smile.

"Well it’s real. I’m here. You’re here. And were friends now. You’re stuck with me." he said with a laugh.

I just laughed with him and loosened up a little. He threw his arm over the top of the couch behind me and I tensed up again. 

"Hey! I told you to stop!" he said smiling and widening his eyes at me.

"I’m sorry!" I said with a chuckle. 

The movie was getting scary and I was fucking scared. Every time a person died I tensed up and Hayes would laugh. His laugh is so perfect. Just like the rest of him. I still can’t believe I’m here. Another person died and Hayes was laughing. Shocker. I was really tense, and I was really scared. 

"It’s just a movie you know." he mocked me.

I just gave him a look and laughed. I pulled out my phone and checked my instagram trying to get away from the movie a little. I pushed it back in my pocket and began watching the terrifying movie once again. I hate this movie oh my god help me. I saw him on his phone and ignored it, but he soon handed it to me. It was a new contact. I put in my info:

First name: Riley 

Last name: your bestie*heart emoji*

Iphone: *number*

The movie ended and I was so happy. 

"Good movie" he mocked.

"Terrible movie" I sassed back with a laugh. 

I checked the time. 9:00. I don’t ever want to leave. I don’t want to go home. I hate my mom. I hate my home life. 

"So I know we've known each other for like 2 hours but what’s your life like?"

I hesitated and pulled at the ends of my long sleeves, pulling them passed my hands. I took a deep breath and let it out.

"I don’t really like to talk about my life." I wouldn’t look at him.

"Oh. I’m so sorry I swear I didn’t-"

"It’s fine. Really. I can trust you right?"

"Yes of course." he was panicked. You could see it in his face.

“Well to start off my home life sucks ass. My mom’s a bitch, my sister gets all the attention and it just plain sucks. I don’t have friends, I’m an annoying self-centered asshole, and I’m a depressed whore as people would say. Two years ago, I was diagnosed with severe depression, and I dropped out of public school to online schooling got addicted to cutting and-"

By this time I was in Hayes’s arms, balling my eyes out.

"Don’t say anything else. I don’t want to hear it. I don’t want to hear how much pain you’ve gone through. I’m here for you now. I don’t care if I’ve known you for 2 hours. I hate that I didn’t know you sooner, and I wasn’t there for you earlier. I'm so sorry. Just show me."

I stuck out my arms and turned them right side up. He rolled them up and saw my hundreds of scars. Tears rolled from my eyes. And soon from his. He hugged me so tight. He was crying so hard. 

"Promise me you'll stop. Just please stop." he choked out between sobs.

"I'll try. But I can’t promise anything."

He pulled away, and grabbed my scarred wrists and kissed my scars. I cried, and cried. Until I ended up laying my head in his lap, and falling asleep.

Hayes's POV:

She looked so beautiful. I couldn’t help but brush the hair away from her beautiful face. I planted a small kiss on her cheek while she was sleeping and allowed the tears to drain from my eyes. I laid my head back on the couch and closed my eyes to think about all of tonight. I’ve known her for 3 hours and I already know she's gonna be my best friend. I hate myself for not knowing her. I know I can’t do anything about it but it still kills me knowing I wasn’t there for her. All I know is I have to be there for her from now on. I already love this girl so much. I can’t help myself. 

"I'm so sorry riley." I whispered. 

I drifted off into my thoughts, and eventually into sleep, with her on my lap.
