Long Lost (A Hayes Grier Fanfic)

Chapter 3

Hayes's POV

I couldn't stand the way Cassidy looked numb and broken, all because of me. When I looked at her, I saw my best friend. We were so far apart, and she hated me, yet I still feel extremely close to her.

Like nothing had changed.

The way she would wrap her warm arms around me when I was sad, cried on my shoulder, was down-to-earth, and would never hurt anyone intentionally. The way her smile grew wide when she saw me, her eyes fluttered when she was reading, and her long hair soared when she was running.

These were the things I loved about her.

She did nothing wrong to me, but I let all of the fame and glory get in the way of our friendship.

I zoned back into reality and the thought of our seperation exploded inside of me leaving a bare and empty pit in my stomach.

"I'm sorry Cassidy. For everything. Beating you, blaming you, mentally abusing you, everything. You are my long lost best friend, and I want you to be my best friend once again.

I couldn't help myself, I hugged her tight.

Although, her arms didn't wrap around me. Instead, I felt tears trickling down my shoulder, and hitting the floor like rain.

"Please forgive me."

Cassidy's POV

"Please forgive me." Hayes said.

Those words spun around in my head...

"How? How am I supposed to forgive you when you made my life a living hell. I stood up for you multiple times, I comforted you when you were sad, I walked through the rain to bring you soup when you were sick! And what am I rewarded with? Multiple hits, kicks, punches, you name it!"

"I was a jer-"

"Tell me about it" I spat, "when you blamed me for when Jordan broke up with you and kicked my side, I was taken to the hospital for internal bleeding! How would you know that? Oh thats right, you didn't care!"

Hayes scrunched his eyebrows, "you were taken to the hospital because of me...?"

I nodded and looked away because Hayes was now crying, and even though he hurt me I could not stand the sight of my 'ex' bestfriend crying. It broke me inside. Now he nows how I felt.

"Okay, enough of this. I am here to decorate your dorm, may I come in?"

Hayes nodded, and I slowly walked into his dorm.

Only to be greeted by Hayes's room mate, who I knew.

"Hey Matthew."

(A/N: I know that Matt Espinosa is older than Hayes, but they are going to the same school in the story.)

Matt's POV

Cassidy was stunning.

I remember how her and Hayes had major problems when they were younger, and both of their tear stained cheeks showed that they had been talking about it.

I looked over at Hayes and he was giving me an evil stare down.

'Because I was looking at Cassidy' I thought to myself.

He never marked his territory on her, why can't I make her mine?

Hayes's POV

I had to tell Cassidy.

"Cassidy, I did not call you here to help me decorate or revise my dorm, I just desperately wanted to see you."

I could see Cassidy slightly smile.

Maybe she did have feelings for me.
