*Fast forward 3 weeks*

***Delaney's POV***

Me and Hayes have been dating for a month now and we've had some amazing dates. We went stargazing, rollerskating, and to the movies. He's really sweet to me and i think that's my favorite quality about him. I wanna make him a dinner for our month- anniversary. I know it's pathetic but hey I don't care. I'll make his favorite meal and then go on a walk around downtown. 

I tell Nash my idea and he says he will let me cook the meal there because his parents wont be home. I'm doing it tomorrow night at 8:00 so he can hang with his friend at 3:00pm.

 *Skip to tomorrow*

(Still Delaney POV)

I call Hayes to see if he'll be ready around 7:30 and come home to our "date". My outfit is

Blue polka dot dress

Silver heart necklace

White sandals

Gold bracelets

Curly hair

You checked your outfit and decided you look pretty good.  It's already 6:30 so I'm heading over to Nash's to cook.

After I finish cooking, all I do is wait.

*Hayes POV*

I'm out with my best friend, James, and it's already 7:30 so I should start walking home.

"Bye James. I'm heading home." I said

"No Hayes we have to stop by a party really quick please?" James asked

"Fine but only for 5 minutes promise?" I did not want to miss this date.

"Promise" James answered

When we arrived at a big house, I realized this was a party thrown by the most popular girl at school, Amanda. I really didn't like her but it's not like a hated her so I went in.  It was a BIG party. Before I knew it, I was dancing with my best guy friends having a great time. I remembered how I was supposed to do something but I couldn't remember.

"James, what was I supposed to do tonight?" I asked

"I dunno man." James said

A couple hours later I check the time. "dang, 1:30 I should get home."

I start walking out the door and just decide to walk home because it's only a 15 minute walk. I arrive at my front door and remember what tonight was. It was a date with Delaney.

**Delaney's POV***

Well it's 1:45 in the morning and Hayes forgot our date. Ok I think i'm just gonna go home now. Wow ok I guess I need time to recollect myself and determine how much i'm putting in this relationship and how much Hayes is. I guess it's kinda one-sided now. I get out of my deep thoughts and start walking to the front door. I open the door as a familiar face appears. Hayes.

'Where were you?" I was kinda pissed

"I was at a party with James?" Hayes said but came out more of a question.

"I'm leaving" I said as i ran out that door into the abyss of the outside.

"Delaney! Wait I can explain" I heard as i ran to god knows where.

Tears were coming out of my eyes faster than I was running. I was going to the only place I wanted to be right now. My little hideout that's in the middle of the forest with a beautiful waterfall. I didn't know if Hayes was still chasing me but I didn't care. I just needed some peace and quiet. I go sit on the grass while the waterfall makes the most amazing sound. I just ughhh! I'm so mad at him. He really goes to a party. Really Hayes really? Looks like Hayes can be single now. I heard a faint yell of my name and run behind a tree by the waterfall.
