Hayes Grier fanfic: beneath the stars

Chapter 48

**later that day after school**

Hayes's POV:
I was walking home from school when chandler came up to me,
"Hey, I need to tell you something, can we talk?" He asked me,
I wasn't quite sure what he wanted to talk about, I barely even knew the guy before.

"So what's up?" I asked,

"Well.. Uh.. Haley kissed me"

I wave of emotion punched be in the stomach,

I felt my eyes get filled with anger. But I don't know how I'm angry at, chandler or Haley.

Was he even telling the truth?

"Are you lying?" I asked, I wanted to punch him but I'm managed to keep my anger at a low level.

"No.. Even ask her yourself" and with that, chandler walked away from me.

I wanted to run, I wanted to get my anger out.

But I actually felt broken inside. I know ill move on, it's easy to let go, I wasn't mad that she would want someone else as her boyfriend

But it hurt.

It made me feel as if I wasn't good enough,

It makes me feel as if I won't ever be good enough,

I felt tears start to pierce my eyes, I just wanted to hide.

I needed someone to talk to,

So I called Althea, as I ran home. My legs were exhausted I didn't care. I had the biggest football game tomorrow, I knew I had to forget Haley and all her constant bullshit.

I just needed my best friend right now,

Althea's POV:
I was sitting at home when my phone went off, I say it was Hayes, normally he would text me, so I was suspicious to what was up.

"Althea..?" He said, his voice was raspy as ever. As if he'd been crying.

"Yes Hayes? Are you okay?"

"Can you come over?.. Please.."

A huge wave of guilt passed hit my stomach as my Breath got caught in my throat,

"I'll be right there hayes" I said as I hung up.

He found out,

He was broken,

He was unfocused,

This was what I was trying to avoid and guess I couldn't do it.

About Haley... About chandler.

Another guilt wave passed me as I realized I kept that secret about Haley and chandler from hayes.

I got my jacket on and some shoes and ran to hayes's house.

I rung the doorbell and Nash opened the door,

"Hey Althea, what are you doing here?" Nash asked as he stepped aside to let me in.

"Is Hayes here?" I asked, my voice sounded all worried.

"Yeah he's upstairs go ahead, but what's wron-"

"Thanks Nash! Ill tell you later" I said as I dashed up the stairs,

I took a deep breathe, and counting to 3.. Just like at The Christmas party ..

When I saw Haley and Hayes..

I brushed that memory off my shoulders,

It was over with,

It's in the past.

Just like Haley and Hayes.

I opened the door, and the memory of haley and Hayes kissing flashed into my mind. But this time,

All I saw was Hayes,

His eyes were bloodshot red from crying, and he had the saddest look on his face

He tried smiling at me, but he couldn't.

At that moment I didn't know what to do,

To either tell him "I told you so" or to run up to him and kiss him.

Both ways sounded fine to me
