Hayes Grier fanfic: beneath the stars

Chapter 68

When we got to our movie, the trailers were playing,

I really hated watching trailers before a movie.

We took a seat in the middle of the theatre, not to far back and not to close, just right.

Row had 6 seats, so row order was;
Dj, me, Maria, Jeff, Mae and mr athletic.

Hayes sat with his friends in the row behind us, and chandler and Haley took a seat at the very back of the theatre.

Probably so no one could see them trying to swallow each other.

The though of chandler still dating Haley made me gag.

I have to admit, a part of me wanted to sit with Hayes, and not dj.

I remembered hayes coming over when we were still best friends and we use to watch netflix all day long,

And one time, when I was heartbroken at 5 am, I called Hayes and then he WALKED all the way over to my house at 5 am.
I missed him..

I really did,

"You Look great tonight" dj whispered to me, even though the trailers were still playing and not the actual movie

"Huh? Oh sorry, my mind was.. Somewhere else, and, thanks, you look great yourself"

What I said was true, but the part about my mind being some where.. Was a lie.

My mind was on Hayes,
And I wish he wasn't "some where"

I wish he was right here, beside me.

The movie started playing and the theatre got quiet, since it was a horror film everybody looked like they were getting the chills.

Half way through the movie everyone started freaking out and jumping out of their seats like I predicted.

It made me laugh actually,

A scary part came up, and I jumped out of my seat, along with everybody else, I was both scared and laughing at the same time.

I sat back in my seat still wide eyed at the screen, when I felt dj's hands go on top of mine. My face flushed with a blank look,

He smiled at me, "I got you" he whispered, his hands felt warm, it felt nice.. But I just didn't feel a spark.

When he touched my hand, I expected to feel a whole lightning bolt shoot through my body., but no, I was wrong.

I had no feeling for dj,
And I'm glad I now clarified that

Hayes's POV:
The movie was scary but not scarier than seeing chandler and Haley do a full on make out session in the theatre,
Gross,

I looked around the theatre More, and saw Althea.

I didn't know what my mind thought when I saw her. Whenever I saw her my words were unexplainable and my tongue always seemed to get tongue tied.

I saw her jump out of her seat with a smile on her face,

I missed being the one to make her always smile like that,

Dj put his hand on top of hers, she stared at him blankly as he whispered something to her.

I didn't know what to feel,

Love, hate, jealousy,

It was just too much.

I stared back at the screen but not paying any attention to the movie,

My mind was all on althea,

Wishing I was the one there holding her hand,

I wish I was the one she loved.

Because I never gave up on her,

And I never will.
