The Girl Next Door (A Hayes Grier Fanfiction)

Chapter 5 "Breaking Up With Bailey"

-Jo's POV-

Me and Hayes walk downstairs and my mom looks confused.

"We'll be right back." I tell her and Hayes and I walk out the door.

I'm really jumpy for some reason. It's probably because I'm helping my best friend DUMP my worst enemy but it feels like there's more to it.

I don't know, I'm just excited.

We walk down the street because Hayes told me Bailey's coming over for dinner so we're gonna chill there until she gets there.

"So are you ready?" He asks me, looking nervous as fuck, as we enter his house.

"Hell yes I'm ready. Are you? You look like your about to bungee jump over a 300 foot bridge."

"Yes, no, ugh I don't know. I mean Bailey IS the most popular girl in school so she'll tell everyone and they'll all think I'm a loser and made the worst decision of my life."

"...And why do you care what people think of you?" I'm kind of pissed about this. I mean Hayes shouldn't care about popularity. He never has, why start now? And plus, if anything people should worship him for getting the guts to dump Bailey.

"It's not that, it's just... I don't know, I guess I just don't want to be known as 'the guy who dumps the most popular girl in school'."

"If anything you'll be known as 'the guy that got the guts to dump the most popular girl in school so I should go worship him'. I mean come on Hayes. Lets say that guy Josh starts dating Bailey and dumps her. Would you think of him as 'the dumbass that dumped a popular girl' or 'that brave dude that dumped Bailey's ass.' I know I would know him as the second one."

"I guess your right."

-Hayes' POV-

She's totally not right.

Its kind of sad but I would think of him as 'the dumbass that dumped a popular girl'. The only people in the whole school that would think of me as 'that brave dude that dumped Bailey's ass' would probably be the unpopulars. I probably sound like a dick right now but I just don't want to lose my reputation.

A knock at the door interrupted my thoughts and I felt like I was about to puke.

"You want me to do the talking?" Jo asks. She looks kind of pissed.

"I don't know. I think that's for the best."

"Dude are you about to puke?" She asks.

"I don't know. I'm gonna go to the bathroom."

-Jo's POV-

I'm kind of upset with him.

He has a perfect life and a perfect future to go with that and he's concerned about his popularity?

Am I the only one here that thinks that's ridiculous? Even if he does lose his popularity, he will be an actor one day and can show off to those dickheads. I'm just confused.

I head to the door because I realize Mrs. Elizabeth isn't home.

"Jo?!" She asks, confused.

"And your names Bailey. Now that we have that covered, come on in."

"Where's Hayes?"

"He's peeing but I need to talk to you."

"Oh... ok."

"I'm just gonna come right out and fucking say it. I know what your doing and it's not fucking okay with me."

"Wait what?" She has the nerve to say.

"You know what I'm talking about. Hayes told me your forcing him to date you."

"Okay, I have no idea what your talking about."

"Whatever... all I want to say is that he's done with you, and you two are over."

"Okay, I'm still really confused on what your talking about but Hayes can get his ass in here and dump me himself. Because I think you must just hate my guts and when you found out you were about to explode, so your way of fixing it was to secretly break up with me for him." She said, seeming proud of her answer.

"Okay, don't believe me. But I'll go get Hayes right now."

I walk over to the bathroom door and knock lightly.

"Yeah?" He answers, nervous sounding.

"Can you come out here?"

"Um... sure."

He steps out, nervous as ever. I don't think I've ever seen him this nervous.

"Hey Hayes!" Bailey says, as if nothing just happened.

"She doesn't believe me."

Hayes hesitates before saying, "Believe what?"

Wait what?

"Are you gonna play dumb with me right now? Wait your seriously gonna pretend you don't know what the fuck I'm talking about?"

"Well it's different if I actually don't know what your talking about."

I put my hand to his forehead. "Well you don't have a fever."

"What?"

"Well you must be fucking sick right now."

"I honestly have no clue what your talking about."

"Oh shit we need to go to a doctor ASAP."

"Why?"

"You must have amnesia."

"Jo-"

"Don't. I'm so fucking done with you and your dumbass popularity." I say as I walk out of his house.

When I'm about two feet away from home, I start to tear up.

Did I just lose my best friend??
