Hailey is an exchange student from New Zealand, she's moved to New Jersey for the next year. Her host family is great, but her neighbors catch her attention; Grayson Dolan. Problem is she has her boyfriend Jack back home.
Haileys POV It'sbeen three days since I have been on bed arrest. Ethan and Esther occasionally knock but they've seen to given up. Every night I hear Grayson throwing pebbles to my window. Kate thinks I have the flu so I haven't had to go to school, if I saw Grayson's face I would burst into tears.
Mum did say I could go back home
I get out of my bed since I haven't had a shower in days. I stand emotionless, embracing Sia's breathe me lyrics into my skin.
I look into the mirror, the sight of my body turns off my appetite. Esther has the dream body, no wonder Ethan would never look elsewhere. Bayleh has done modelling , of course Grayson likes her. I'm just average, Grayson Dolan doesn't do average.
I walk downstairs since I'm tired of my eyes bouncing over the walls. Esther and Ethan are on the couch as per ususal, they are shocked to see me.
"What are you doing Hailey?" Esther says "I'm going shopping" I respond "I'll come!" Esther replies "Alone" I say slamming the door.
I run to the bus stop to avoid the chance of having to see Grayson. As I wait for the bus my phone buzzes, it's Jack.

I was being genuine when I said I'll think about it. I've been thinking a lot the past days that maybe New Jersey isn't for me.
As I enter the mall the sound of conversations filled my ears. Retail therapy is my favourite. The malls in New Zealand can't even compete, this is my idea of heaven.
Even though I'm loving the mall I'm still debating whether I should move back. Jack and I could work on everything, we could even move and get our own apartment.
I sit in the food court smiling at the bags surrounding me. All the labels bring a smile on my face. I look up to see Grayson being followed by at least fifteen girls.
I am moving back to New Zealand
I've made up my mind, I'm moving back. I walk into the shoe store buying the zebra text boosts 350s. Final splurge, since I'm not going to find them back home. I spent all my money no going back now.
My shoulders feel lifted, I am going home to see my family and Jack. I should of never left in the first place.
As I walk in the house I go to the basement where I know Ethan and Esther would be. "Well I see you've done yourself some good retail therapy" Ethan winks "I'm moving back to New Zealand" I reply Their faces drop "Please don't do this because of Grayson" Esther pleads "It's best for Grayson and Ethan's career if I keep away. And I think I'm going to give Jack another chance" "I've got to go" Ethan brings me into a hug and runs out the door
Grayson POV Hailey has ignored me for the past couple days. I haven't even been able to explain myself. When I saw her in the mall she looked happy.
Until she saw me
I was surrounded by fans, I seriously love my fans, but all I wanted to do is go to Hailey explaining myself. I couldn't even go near her, our fans would post about it then Jack would know.
Later After I saw Hailey I wasn't In the mood so I went back home. I've been spending a lot of my time in my room lately. Looking at my desk seeing where Bayleh sat makes me feel disgusted and guilty. I just want to explain myself, I don't understand why this is all so complicated. I don't even have to be with Hailey and everyday I feel as if I'm falling deeper for her.
Ethan storms through my door, he catches his breath. "Hailey is moving back to New Zealand to be with Jack"
