He was wearing a tracksuit with his headphones around his neck. He was probably running when he saw me here, sitting alone while crying about a stupid boy.

I tried to look down to avoid his look, but it was too late, he had noticed that I was crying. He came closer and sat besides me.

I wanted to tell him to go and that I wasn't in the mood to talk with someone, but a small voice in my head forced me to let him close to me...

''Jeez, what happened?'' He asked with a small voice.

I turned a little bit my head to the other side so he couldn't see it. I didn't want him to see me cry.

''N...Nothing. Could you please leave me alone?'' After all, we never know if someone is spying me to tell a lie to Ethan...

Hayden then laughed and declared,

''I'm not leaving until you tell me what's going on Elena...''

Just the way my name comes from his mouth made me wanna pass out.

And what am I saying again... I must be really tired.

Thankfully, my tears had stopped, but I still didn't want to look at Hayden. I just wasn't ready to face his destabilizing eyes.

''It's not your buisness Hayden...''

I could see from the corner of my eyes that he was shaking his head with a little smile on his face,

''It's not my buisness?'' He repeated. ''But we're like friends, aren't we?''

Are we? I can't tell, I'm lost too. Everytime he's around, my heart misses a beat and when I talk with him, I'm completely in another world.

Now is it the feeling you have when you're with a...friend?

''I don't know...'' I sighed, turning slowly my head to his side. I still didn't want to see him so I looked at my feet trying to hide my face with my loose hair.

''I...I fought with my boyfriend.'' I finally said. Was it a good idea to tell it to Hayden? Maybe yes, maybe no, but I felt like it would be better if I just told him what happened.

He loudly sighed, as if he was mad about it and leaned his arms on his tight. From that angle, I could see that his jawbone was contracted.

''Of course, a realtionship can't be perfect...'' He said while looking at his hands.

''Sure...'' I whispered at myself.

We didn't talk and I took advantage of this moment to cunningly whip my tears. Sadly, Hayden noticed it and added,

"I knew he was going to hurt you."

I was too lost to argue with him so I simply didn't respond.

"But, can I know what is the reason that brought that fight between you two?"

My look went down to my cold hands. I should have brought some gloves with me...

"For a stupid thing..." I sighed then finally got up. I still didn't want to look at him. ''But I'm okay now, you can go continue what you started.'' I said putting my hand to point a random direction.
