An Old Friend Hayes Grier

Chapter 11

**Delaneys POV**

I see hayes and his family walk in the theatre and I start shaking. I don't know why I'm nervous. I guess it's because deep down, I know hayes could probably win me back in a heart beat. With no one here to stay my distance from him, who knows what might happen. But I don't want anything to happen. Hayes walks up the stairs to my seat while the rests of his family sits a row in front of us. Hayes gives me a questioning look as to say "Where's Camryn?" But I respond with "she couldn't come" and turn my head back to the screen.

The lights dim and the movie begins.😏

For the first five minutes of the movie, I felt eyes glued on me. Not just any eyes but beautiful, light blue eyes. The eyes I had fallen in love with. I mean I'm basically still in love with him but he can't know that. I just had to see what he wanted so I turned my head in his direction. He quickly turned his head the other way. Before I returned my eyes to the screen, he turned my way and opened his mouth. But no words came out. So he closed his mouth and returned to the movie.

Now I was curious. I just continued to think of the possible words he could've said. It just haunted me. I flashed back to reality when Hayes tried to move his arm around my shoulders. I quickly shot him a look that said "Are you serious?" so he quickly moved his arm back.

"Are you okay?" Hayes whispers.

What does he mean by that? I'm perfectly fine.

"Yeah why?" I whisper back.

Boy I can't wait to hear this one.

"It's just you look concerned.... And chilly" and he pointed to my goosebumps.

"I'm a little chilly but I'm fine." I say.

Hayes then gives me his jacket and puts it around me.

Well I know where this is headed and I don't like it... Or do I?

Anyway, the movie continues on and he comes the famous line.

"It's a metaphor. You see you out the killing thing between your teeth but you don't give it the power to do its killing"

I love that line. Anyways the movie gets to the really sad part (not spoiling it for anyone who hasn't seen it) when Augustus is in the jeep at the gas station. Of course being the girl I am, I start to tear up. I guess hayes notices because he wipes away a tear. I swear of anyone was looking at us right now, it might look like we were dating but we're not.

I just nod and continue to watch the movie. I see hayes is on his phone. Of course he's not actually watching the movie. Probably because he thinks it's a chick flick. I see my phone light up out of the corner of my eye. It's from PooBear❤️ wow I guess I never changed that. Well time to change it now. Ok that's better. I got a text from Hayes✌️.

It reads:

"You know you look cute when you cry💙"

Well I didn't know thats was why he was on his phone but I still didn't want to see that text. Because now I can't just ignore it because he practically watch me read it. So I simply reply back with

"You what's not cute? You.☺️" of course I was joking but I thought I was funny so I sent it. I got a text from him saying

"Woah I didn't know you were this feisty grrr"

Then he turned his head and stared into my eyes. I swear I could stare into his eyes forever. But I just can't. I literally just broke up with him for some stupid reason. Maybe I should apologize I mean it was just a dinner date. I mean it's not like he cheated on me at that party. So maybe we could work it out. I was taken aback at how close we were. I try to distance my self by leaning back in my chair. But hayes still seem to always come closing no matter what I did.
