"We're going to talk to Hayes." I say with a straight face.
"I am not talking to that brat."
"Fine, then I will," I walk out of the door and into the hallway. I walk three doors down to room 216 and knock on the door. Taylor opens it. "What are you doing in here?" I furrow my eyebrows.
"This is my hotel room."
"Where's Hayes?"
"Inside."
"Move," I push past Taylor and see Hayes sitting on the couch. He rolled his eyes when he saw me and got up, walking into one of the bedrooms. "Hayes!" I say, speed walking after him. He got through the door a second before me and shut it right in my face. But to my surprise, he didn't even try to keep me out. He didn't lock the door, nor hold it to where I couldn't get in. So I barge through the door and he is laying in the bed.
Jack still hadn't followed me here, surprisingly. "Hayes...?" I say sympathetically. "Hayes!" What is his problem...?
"Dude, where's Hayes and Y/N?" I hear Jack ask from the other room.
"Let them be, Jack. She'll be out soon." Taylor says.
Hayes gets up and walks out of the room without a word. I sit on the bed for a second more and finally get up. He is now sitting on the couch. "There you are!" Jack says, holding my shoulders. "Yep, right here. Let go." I do not make eye-contact with him as I'm saying that and I gently push his hands off of my shoulders.
"Hayes, I need to know what's wrong with you!" I sit next to him on the couch. "I can't help you if I don't know what's wrong."
"It's not that big of a deal, Y/N!" He finally says.
"Hayes! You are one of my very best friends, you being upset is a HUGE deal! Now tell me why!"

HAYES' POV
I know that she just wanted to help, but she was totally oblivious. Even Taylor knows what happened and he wasn't even there. Nash and Jack know too. Johnson doesn't because I have never told him that I like her. CRAP! Did I really just do that?!
-
Y/N'S POV
I feel like everyone knows what's wrong with Hayes except for me. "Jack, Taylor, get out for a minute."
"Wha--"
"JACK GET OUT!"
"Cmon bro," Taylor grabs Jack's arm and takes him out into the hallway.
As soon as the door closed, Hayes started to talk. "Listen Y/N, I really like you. I know that Nash already told you and I'm sorry you had to find out from my brother."
"Hayes, it's fine--"
"No it's not! I should have been the one to tell you, not him!"
"Hayes... You know I feel horrible saying this, but I can't date you. At least not right now."
"I'm willing to wait..."
"Okay, well if I don't already have a boyfriend when you graduate high school, then I might just give you a call." We both smile. I haven't seen him smile all day long...
"Okay! Lets go. Don't tell Jack anything about this conversation."
"Deal," Hayes said, shaking my hand.
~~5:45 PM~~
"Baaaabe... hurry uuup..." Jack whines. I smile and roll my eyes, zipping up my suitcase. "We still have to go by your grandma's to say bye."
"I though we weren't going..." I say, as more of a question than a statement.
"Of course we're going! We love her."
"Okay, then lets go." I say, getting up from my spot on the floor and picking up my suitcases. Jack starts walking out the door with nothing in his hands and I'm stuck carrying all three of these suitcases. He walks back in as I'm struggling to fit them all in my hands. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding," He laughed, clapping his hands. He grabbed two of my three bags and walked out the door.

Grandma's House
**knock knock** No answer **knock knock knock** "Oh, hello! What are all of you guys doing here?" Grammy asks.
"We came to say bye..." I say, getting in front of her.
"Awe... leaving already?"
"Yeah, we've got to go catch a flight. Everyone just wanted to stop by to say goodbye."
"Bye," everyone said in unison, waving one hand. This literally feels rehearsed.
"Bye, everyone." She shouted as we walked to the car.

The plane ride lasted for around 2 hours. We were going to Miami, Florida. I was super excited. Except no one knew we were going to Miami, so we didn't bring swimsuits. I think this is the longest stop we're staying at. We're here for a week.
**SKIP PLANE RIDE**
We got off the plane and the airport was huge! It was easier to get out of this one than the Atlanta one, though. "Okay, so here's the plan, Me and Hayes wanted to go to the beach to watch the sunset. Who's comin?"
"Me!" Everyone yells at the same time and we all laugh.
Me and Jack got a rental car from the rental car place right beside the airport. "Can we go to the store before we go to the beach?" He asks.
"Yeah, we need bathing suits!" I smile.
-
~~AT THE STORE~~
Jack didn't have an issue picking out a bathing suit. I, however, couldn't figure out what to buy. Every one that I liked "showed too much skin".
"Jack! What about this one?" I say excitedly.
"It's cute. But won't Hayes be looking?" He rolled his eyes.
"Jack, even if I wear a long sleeve body suit, he'd stare."
"Fine. Get what you want."
"Thank you," I say, grabbing a cute orange bikini. It had a strapless top and high-wasted bottoms.

When we got to the beach, everyone was already there. I still had on my pants and my jacket, unzipped.
Nash being the dummy that he is, wiggled his eyebrows and said, "Where have you guys been?"
Jack rolled his eyes and I said, "We went to buy bathing suits."
"Mhmm," Nash wiggled his eyebrows more.
Then I roll my eyes. "I'm gonna go change, guys" Jack walks up to the bathrooms to change into his bathing suit.
"Me too. Gotta get outta these pants," it was kinda awkward when Jack left, so I ran up to him and went into the womens' bathroom.
I took off my pants and jacket, leaving me in my bathing suit, and walked out of the bathroom to see Hayes waiting beside the door. "Can I talk to you?" He asks.
