Those Hayes Twins

Chapter 13-

Hadley's POV-

Liz ended up falling asleep on my shoulder so I picked her up carefully and carried her to her room. I realized that she had a bunch of boxes on her bed so I went and put her back on the couch and covered her up with a blanket. I walked back to her room and started to take the boxes from her bed, and boxes around her bed, in a stack on the side of the room. I was walking with one box that was heavy when I accidentally dropped the box, and stuff came tumbling out. I bent down to pick it all up when I saw a little book. I picked it up and I didn't want to be rude and snoopy, but I opened it. In the book was a bunch of pictures of Liz, her brothers, dad, mom, and sister. I smiled as I looked through the pictures and saw little Liz, it was cute how she had pigtails, braids, or high ponytails in her hair. There was one picture that was my favorite though, it was a picture of Liz standing with Tyler, Matt, and Aaron in the sprinkler in their swimsuits. Liz had on a little mermaid swimsuit and her hair was in a little side braid, her bangs were in her face. She had the biggest smile on her face and she was clinging to Tyler's leg. I heard the noise of someone clearing their throat so I looked up and jumped when I saw Liz.

"Hey babe! Sorry, the box feel and I started to pick things up and I found this book and I-" I say but get cut off.

"And you took it upon yourself to dig through it? That's nice." She says clearly mad.

"No no! Alright maybe, I just wanted to see what was in it! I didn't mean to be nosy! I just saw pictures and I looked at them. All I have to say I guess now, is that this picture happens to be my favorite." I say holding up the picture. Her angry expression dropped and a sweet look took over her face.

"That was my favorite memory, and picture." She says softly. She slowly walks over to me and takes the picture slowly out my hand. She starts to smile at the picture and u stand up to get leveled with her.

"I'm sorry I was nosy." I say. She looks up at me and smiles.

"No, I'm sorry for getting mad. I would have done the same thing, but thank you for finding this picture. It means a lot to remember it." She says smiling bigger. I smiled back and she wraps her arms around me. I hug her back and soon we pull away. I take the last of the boxes and put them with the rest and then pick her up. She let's out a giggle and I carry her bridal style to her bed. I lay her down, cover her up and go to walk away. She grabs my arm and stops me. I look back at her confused.

"Don't go, come lay with me." She whispers. I smile down at her and nod. I walk to the other side of the bed and take my shirt, pants, socks, and shoes off and climb into her bed. She turns to face me and I pull her into my body. She sighs and relaxes into me and I rub small circles on her back. The last thing that I hear before I fall asleep is her soft breathing.
