Forbidden: A Hayes Grier Fanfiction.

Forbidden: Chapter 7

Abbie's POV:

I left the hospital with hayes at about 11 o'clock, he told me I was too hysteric to drive. he took me home and assured me everything would be okay. I don't even know what "okay" means anymore. I walked in and everyone was asleep. my plan for tomorrow was to drive to school and from there go to the hospital. it was a terrible day, and I was ready to go to bed. but just my luck, I had an hour's worth of homework to do. I stayed up until 12:30 doing it and then crashed. I was so done.

the next morning I woke up 10 minutes late but it didn't matter. I didn't bother to put on makeup, it would just make my swollen tangerine eyes look worse. I decided to wear my favorite short sleeved vineyard vine shirt and skinny jeans with my chacos. I wasn't going for "pretty" that day anyhow. I washed my hair and put it in a bun with a cute bandana around my head. i took one last look in the mirror.
"I hate myself." i sigh, then walk downstairs. i kiss mom goodbye then head to school. I wasn't hungry at all, even though I knew I needed to eat i still didn't. this wasn't the first time I had done this. in seventh grade i hated my body so much I would starve myself, but hayes found out and he sat with me everyday and made sure i ate after that. he was truly my bestfriend. I'm seriously thankful for him getting on Colton like that. not for putting him in a coma, of course, but for saving me. I know how Colton is when he gets mad, and i was pretty scared at that point. he could've broken my wrist, and I knew he was well on his way there. hayes might be tiny, but the boy can fight.
my thoughts were interrupted by an old man behind me honking his horn for me to go. I arrived to the school shortly after that. I walked in 15 minutes until the last bell and got my stuff out of my locker.
thankfully Colton was new to the school, so not many people knew him. of course there were the people who lived in our neighborhood that knew. I figured out that some did indeed know because Cameron Dallas, this incredibly hot guy who was a senior, came up on behalf of Colton being his neighbor.
"hey, abbie." he said after stopping me in the hall. i never realized just how freaking hot this guy was until he greeted me.
"hey." I hoped I wasn't blushing.
"so um if you don't mind me asking, what happened to Colton?" he said. I told him the best version of the story I could, and then he gave me his phone number if I needed anything. I thanked him then made my way to my first period.
before I could make it in the door, hayes stopped me.
"w-where you just talking to cam?" he said with a stutter.
"uh yeah, yeah I was. why?"
"him and my brother are like best friends. what'd he say?" he seemed nervous.
"he asked about Colton and that was it."
"oh okay, well I should be making my way to class. bye." he said, and did something that shocked me. he kissed me on the cheek. I walked into class blushing and wondered all day about it.

after school, I went to the hospital. Colton still wasn't awake, butI stayed there until 8 anyways. then i drove home and ate leftovers and did my homework. i went to bed at 9:30 still wondering about hayes and that kiss on the cheek. was it friendly? was it something more? what was it? I fell asleep listening to Ed sheeran's old album Multiply that me and hayes listened to whenever we were in the car.

i woke up at 4am to a call from hayes.
"lookabbieimsorryikissedyouonthecheek." he said as soon as I picked up.
"woah, hayes. slow down. I just woke up." I said rubbing my forehead.
"i-im sorry. I know you're with Colton and I don't know what got into me. i know you probably hate me for putting the boy you're so in love with in a coma and then kissing you on the cheek like 16 hours later but I would appreciate it if you didn't because you're my only friend and I don't know what I would do without you and-"
"hayes, look it's okay. I'm not in love with Colton. go to sleep okay? it's 4 in the morning for god's sakes. I wasn't mad at you, me and you are fine. Colton's gonna be fine and I am too. don't worry."
"yeah but here's the thing, im kinda outside your house right now. so I can't really go to sleep. please come outside."
oh god, here we go.
