Feelings (Hayes Grier)

Chapter 3 Sleep Over

I don't want to leave Hayes' arms. I can't have feelings for him though I'm straight. I'm confused.

I'm still crying harder than ever and I started to fall but Hayes didn't let me.

Then everything went black.

                                 ...

                        Hayes POV

"Joe" I said.

He passed out. I still feel really bad about what I did to him. I'm the worst friend in the world.

I picked Joey up and brought him upstairs and put him in his bed.

Then I sat down at the edge of the bed waiting for him to get up.

I know his Mom and brother won't be home tonight and I don't want to leave him alone.

I pulled out my phone and called my mom.

"Hello honey" my mom said.

"Hi mom can I sleep over at Joe's tonight?" I asked.

"Absolutely not it's a school night" she yelled through the phone.

"But he doesn't want to stay here alone overnight" I said back.

"Fine but behave" she said.

"Thanks Mom" I smiled as I hung up the phone.

                      Joey's POV

I woke up at 9:00 pm

"Hey Joe" Hayes said

Hayes? What is he still doing here? And how did I get up here?

"Hayes? What are you doing here?" I asked really confused.

"I'm sleeping over. If that's okay with you" he says.

"Yea sure" I reply.

There was a short silence.

"Listen" Hayes begins "I'm really sorry and - "

"I said it's okay" I interrupt him.

"Joe really I'm sorry"

"Drop it!" I yell at him

"Alright" he says looking down saddened.

"Hayes?" I say.

"Yea?" he replies looking up at me.

"How did I get up here?" I asked.

"Well you passed out so I caught you and carried you up here" he replied.

"Thanks" I reply looking down.

"Yea" he says very quietly.

I sit up and hug Hayes and he hugs me back. I looked into his blue eyes and he looks into mine. I slowly lean in turning my head and kiss him.

I quickly jump back.

"Sorry" I say burying my head into my pillow crying again.

I don't know why I kissed him. I think I might like Hayes but he is straight. I don't know what to do anymore.

"Joe it's okay I'm not mad" he says.

I don't say anything I just keep crying as he lays down by me and hugs me and that's how I fall asleep.

I wake up with my head on Hayes' chest. I can tell he is still awake because he is rubbing his hands through my hair. I wonder why Hayes is letting me lay on him. Can Hayes like me? I don't think he does he's probably just trying to comfort me. I see no light shining through the window so I know it's still night time. I put my hand on Hayes' stomach and go back to sleep.
