Without a Word (Hayes Grier fanfic)

Losing It

The next week of Magcon flew by. Constantly watching Matt kiss girls made me jealous, but I got used to it (sort of). After he kissed them, he would always say "I have a girlfriend", and wink at me. This would make me blush and look away. I still couldn't believe that, the Mathew Espinosa, was my boyfriend. He was so sweet and trustworthy, but I couldn't shake this nagging feeling that it wasn't right. I wasn't meant to be with Matt, every time I saw Hayes, and how sad he looked, I would get this cold feeling in my stomach.

I woke up, and noticed Matt wasn't with me. He had been sleeping next to me every night since our date. It was oddly cold that day. Like the weather already knew something was going down. Shaking these feelings of worry I stepped into the bathroom and took a shower.

When I got out, I changed into my plain white blouse and dark jeans. Walking out of the bathroom Carter, Nash, Hayes and Ali were waiting.

"Good morning." I smiled at them, ever since Matt and I started dating I had been in a really good mood.

"Hi." They all smiled back.

"Hey," I turned to Carter, "Where's Matt?"

"I don't know," he said shrugging. They all smiled in a weird way.

"What's going on?" I was getting suspicious.

"Nothing," Ali was a terrible liar.

Crossing my arms I gave her the, 'tell me now or I'll give away one of your big secretes' look. She didn't budge.

"Hey, did you know when Ali was five-" I started.

"Matt going to surprise you today with singing and stuff in the hotel cafe, and we're supposed to bring you down there." I smiled, getting my way.

They all laughed, and my heart started to race. He was getting so serious in such a short time. He was sixteen, and I was going to turn fourteen in, I thought of the date, wow, in one week. He has probably done this 'dating' thing before, I haven't, is this supposed to happen? Is it supposed to be this serious?

"Come on," Ali said pulling me out the door. "And remember to act surprised."

They lead me down the hall to the elevator. They were all jumpy and happy while it went down, I felt like I was going to puke. I looked over at Hayes who hasn't said one word to me this whole morning, his eyes looked puffy, and he seemed to be sniffling. I sighed, he hasn't been talking to me ever since the day we played truth or dare in the bedroom. I really dint understand boys.

The elevator door opened to the lobby. As we walked closer and closer to the cafe, my heart raced faster, and faster. Taking a deep breath I walked in. Nothing out of the ordinary here, yet. We all ordered and waited for our food, I was getting nervous. The boys were getting ready to vine every moment of the experience. When we got our food, and sat down I was trying really hard to keep my food down. Mahogany walked up to us, and gave me an odd look. Sitting down next to Carter, he whispered the plan in her ear. She looked at me and gave me a reassuring look. She could tell I was nervous.

We waited, and waited, and waited. Finally I finished my bagel and coffee. I stood up, and all the boys jumped. "Calm down." I laughed. "Nothing's going to happen."

Throwing away my trash, I looked up. There he was leaning against the walled, making out with some girl.

My heart pounded. I could hear the pounding in my ears. My vision went red. Then, I took a breath. I didn't want to cause a seen; I'm not that kind of person. Walking over, I tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around nonchalantly and faced me. I could now see the girl he had been making out with. She was wearing a very short crop-top and booty shorts, slut. He faced me and went pale. My eyes narrowed.
