Chapter 5|Hayes Grier

I woke up to the sun shining in my face and squinted my eyes. It took me a moment to realize what today was and I shot up and smiled running to the bathroom while squeeling excitedly. I took a 30 minute shower washing my hair and afterwards I wrapped myself in my towel and put my hair in a messy bun looking for something to wear. I decided on my Killin' It shirt, light wash denim shorts and my black vans. I lotioned my legs and arms and went back in the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and decided on minimal make up since I would sleep on the plane anyway. I put on my dream pure bb cream (I'm pretty sure that's what its called I don't feel like checking I'm too lazy) and mascara. I pack all my stuff in my little British Flag bag I got from the body shop and throw it in my suitcase. I grab my phone and see a text from Emma.

Em: are you ready yet?

Me: yeah. are you?

Em: yep. were leaving soon. plane leaves at 10

I checked my phone the time reading 8:37

Me: yeah we dont wanna get caught I'm traffic. meet at Nessa's?

Em: yeah. I'll see you soon

Me: kk bye

Em: WAIT what are you wearing

Me:killin' it and shorts

Em: shoes?

Me: my black vans

Em: ew

Me: shut up brat

Em: lol ily see you soon

Me: lol ily2 and k see you soon

I locked my phone and threw it I'm my bag dragging my suitcase on the floor. I went towards my sister's room and her door was open with no one in there. I turned down the hall and walked downstairs seeing my sister and mom watching Pretty Little Liars on the couch. I always wanted to watch that show, but for some reason never got into it. I walked in front of then and said goodbye. We hugged and my mom told me the classic safety rules. I assured her I would be safe and gave her a kiss on the cheek. I walked out and went next door to Nessa's house knocking on her door, making a beat as usual, she laughed from the other side and opened the door hugging me with a huge smile in her face. She was so pretty, I wish I was as pretty as her, she made me wanna cry sometimes. She snapped me out of my thoughts with a concerned look on her face I gave her a reassuring smile and we walked in her house. Brandon was already there and he turned to me from his phone and smiled at me coming to give me a hug. He gave me a huge hug and I cuddled into his chest. He smelled like axe and Teddy bears. He was also kind of cute. Not that I liked him in THAT way. He was my best friend, I knew him all my life, he knew all my secrets, crushes, boyfriends, EVERYTHING. You know how something happens in you family and your mom says don't tell anyone and you immediately think my best friend doesnt count? Brandon was who I always thought of.

I could feel Vanessa's eyes on me and Brandon, she always was jealous of us, not that she liked Brandon, its that she didn't. She hated the fact that she was not the first person I went to when I needed a shoulder to cry on or needed someone to hang with. She thought that I was her best friend and always called me that, but she wasn't, I've never been able to trust her and she's just not best friend material to me, and I wasn't the person to say, we aren't best friends. I hated hurting peoples feelings if they didn't really deserve it. Now if she talked about me behind my back or did something else like that I would have told her straight up how I felt. But until that day I let her believe what she wants to believe.

Me and Brandon let go and we all sat and went on our phones. A few minutes later Emma came in and Vanessa's brother drove us to the airport. By the time we got there it was 9:11( the irony) and the lines for bag check and security were SUPER long. When we got to our gate it was 9:49 and they started boarding the plane. We got in and since we helped pay for the trip we were in first class. I felt like a celebrity. Me and Brandon sat next to each other receiving some death glares from Vanessa, I just rolled my eyes and rested my head on Brandon's shoulder falling asleep.

Brandon's POV

I looked down at Jenna and she was still sleeping. I smiled at her and kissed her forehead. I know what you're thinking, awww Brandon likes Jenna, WRONG. I do not like her, she's my best friend. Yeah she's gorgeous and nice and funny and a great singer and super chill and her lips, oh god they're so kissable, sometimes I just wanna grab her face and just-okay Brandon focus I do not like Jenna Smith, I do not like Jenna Smith. My thoughts were interrupted by Jenna waking up. I stroked her hair and she yawned.

Jenna's POV

I woke up and stretched a little. I was still really tired. I turned to Brandon and asked him what time it was. "Not sure. Were landing soon though." he smiled. I smiled back and nodded ,resting back on his shoulder. He stroked my hair and I rested there for the rest of the flight.

*fast forward*

We walked out of the plane and grabbed our bags. We were finally in Florida. I was so excited I get to finally see my brother, his girlfriend and my nephew. My brother said he would pick us up and I eventually saw people with signs and walked towards them, dragging Brandon with me. I looked for my name but instead found a sign that said The Griers ,I almost had a heart attack right there and turned my head to see Emma with the same reaction as me. We both kind of screamed and then asked at the same time "Do I look okay?!" we both giggled and fixed each other up.

After that we weren't even focused on trying to find my brother but instead finding 2 guys and maybe a little blondie full of sass stroll by. A few minutes later I turned around to see a boy with piercing blue eyes and hair swooped over his forehead. He turned to me and we locked eyes. We both smiled and for a second the whole world stopped. A few seconds later I saw a guy come up and snap in front of his face, bringing us both back to reality. The guy turned to see what I guess his little brother was looking at and smirked when he saw me. It was Nash. Which means that was Hayes.A group of people came in front of us and I lost them. I turned back to my friends and they asked me what happened, I just told them nothing and looked at the ground smiling. I had seen him. I had seen Hayes Grier.
