And When He Is Here // hayes grier

Chapter 11

↠Bradie

His texts kinda confused me I figured what it was about.
The kiss.
I actually hope it was.

B-yeah I'll be right over
I texted him

I told Ryan where I was going and he replied okay.

I walked out the front door and turned to my right to head towards his house.
I knocked on the front door and Nash answered within 3 seconds.
"Hey Bradie," Nash said with smirk

"What?"

"Nothing," he said sounding kinda suspicious. "Oh uh he's up in his room."

"Thanks," I ran up the stairs and Hayes' door was open. I looked through the doorway and I saw him running his fingers threw his shaggy brown hair and he was pacing back an forth around his room.

"Hayes? you okay?"

I walked closer to him and he stopped at looked me on the eyes. We were about a foot away from each other.
"I just. I-I can't stop thinking about that dang kiss. I mean you kissed me back so that had to mean something right? l just can't stop thinking about it. Because it meant everything to me. Even if it was to stop your panic attack; it meant everything"

"Yes it meant something to me." and I was telling the truth

He sighed in relief , "because I like you Bradie. A lot. And I have sense the 5th grade and I have no clue why this year I decided to talk to you and that was the dumbest thing I've done. Because I've missed out on getting to know the most amazing person I've ever known. And I regret so much that for the first time I've ever really talked to you was this year because I've missed out on you. But I don't regret one bit that I did talk to you because I got to know you and I want to keep getting to know you."

I just stood there smiling like an idiot until I realized I could speak, "I like you too. And I guess having Dylan as my best friend-I don't know how to put it like minimized me having friends I guess you could say. Like making feel like I didn't need to meet new people or make new friends. I don't know. But thank you, for keeping me alive. To be honest with you when I didn't want to see anyone the first 2 days after Dylan's death was because I was in the hospital. I tried to kill my self. I just didn't know what to do with my self or what I had to live for when I couldn't keep the person I cared about most in my life alive. And it killed me. But I have something to look forward to. But know I have somebody to live for. You."
I had tears in my eyes thinking about it.

He walked closer and rapped his arms around me. His hugs were the best. "Don't ever do that again. Please."

We were still hugging "I won't. I promise. Thank-" he cut me off by smashing his lips to mine. He cupped his hands around my cheeks and I put mine the same way. I kissed him back and it lasted for a few seconds. Once we pulled away we put our hands down. "B I guess what I'm trying to ask you is- will y-you be m-my girlfriend?"

I nodded my head up and down really fast a couple times, "yes. A million times yes."

When I woke up the following morning it was like any other. Then last night replayed in my head. Hayes and I started dating last night. That scene kept running over and over in my head and I smiled giddy at the thought.
I realized my door was open and Ryan walked past it and popped his head through the door way "what are you all smiley about? you literally just woke up"

"Oh nothing," I lied to him

"No tell me. Now." He demanded

"No."

"So there is something! your just not telling me what it is."

"Maybe." I said with a smirk

He was fully in my room now

"Tell me."

"Fine. Okay so me and Hayes are dating. That's why he wanted me to come over last night."

"Ooooo. Well I'm gonna go get ready. I'm happy for you- wait does he know about the night of Dylan-like when you tried to ya know; die."

"Yeah I told him."

He just nodded and left my room.

I began to get ready for school. I decided to straighten my hair because I woke up early today. I chose to wear some neon yellow shorts and a white tank top.

I changed then walked into the bathroom. I washed my face then did my hair then makeup.

Once I was done I walked down the stairs to get some cereal. I heard a knock on the door and I knew it was Hayes because I told him he should start coming over in the morning to walk to bus together. "Come on!"

Then Hayes walked through the door, "hey."

I finished the bite of cereal I was chewing "hey,"

He sat down next to me and I smiled at him, "you smell good," I told him

He laughed "thanks."

Ryan came down the stairs and grabbed a granola bar "you guys ready?" he asked me and Hayes

"Yep." Hayes said. He grabbed my hand and we all walked out the door to go to the bus
