Hayes Grier- Is this for real?

Chapter 4

Friday zoomed around the corner and hit me in the face.. Hard.

I waited for Hayes to arrive in my room at exactly 11:30 like he always does. He didn't. I started to get worried. Oh god.. It's that jerky kid all over again. No hayes can't be like that.

I looked over through the small window and saw him crying with Nash, Skylynn, and Will. I jumped out of bed really quickly. How could I have been so selfish about my love life when something bad was actually happening? I tried to open the locked door and tears started streaming down my face.

It was exactly 11:39 and I was screaming for nurses to let me out. I needed to get to Hayes. Finally Nash heard me and un-bolted the heavy door. I ran out and asked what was happening but tried to act calm so I didn't scare them.

I asked Hayes what was up and he sadly responded and pointed to his Grandmas room. It was empty. Flowers were surrounding the door. I suddenly didn't need to ask anymore questions. I had found out that Hayes was going to need some heavy support over the next few weeks. I let him cry on my shoulder and his warm wet face made me feel strong.

He really loved me. He even cried in front of me without being embarrassed. I pulled him around the side and gave him a comforting kiss. He smiled and we laughed. I tried to get him into a better mood and it worked. He quietly invited me as a date to his grandmas burial. I gladly accepted to ease his worries.

Suddenly he pulled me over and said- "Hannah June Caster, you are the love of my life and always will be!" His passion lifted both of our spirits. I leaned in to him and whispered back.. "You too hayes.. I have never met a better guy!"

Hayes emotionally kissed my neck and asked gently.. " I believe I haven't formally asked you to be my girlfriend yet.. So will you?"

I could feel my cheeks turn pink and I gave back a sweet nod. I lovingly hugged him and we walked back to his family in the next hallway over.
