song : unappreciated by cherish.

[Teagan]

I sighed as I closed my hotel door after walking away from Hayes. I only had one question ringing through out my head. Do I feel for Hayes? I mean, that kid will always have a piece of my heart. But do I love him the same way I did almost 2 years ago?

I rubbed my temples and let out a frustrated huff, before standing up and dialing up Hayes' number.

ring. ring. ring. ri-

"Yo-." I immediately cut him off.

"Look! You don't get to do that!" I interrupted him.

"Wait what?" He questioned.

I rolled my eyes. "You don't get to break my heart and have me wondering for a year straight why I wasn't good enough!! That isn't fair, Benjamin!" I yelled through the phone.

"Tee. . . Chill out, we can talk about this when I get back." He sighed

I shook my head, running my hand through my long curls. My hand lingering at the end. "No, Hayes. We're best friends. . . That's all I want, all we are. . ." I stated barely above a whisper.

"Tee. . ." He spoke softly.

"Goodbye, Hayes." I said, hanging up the phone. I bit my nail as I replayed everything that has happened in the last 45 minutes, before throwing my phone and my self on the bed in a frustrated matter. Letting out a long scream. "Why can't I just be 14 again? When everything was perfectly fine in my life?" I mumbled into my pillow, the pillow soon be drowned in my tears.

[Hayes]

"I can't believe tour is over in 3 weeks, this summer flew by bruh." Nash said as me, Cameron, and him walked into me and Nash's room. "But we graduated. . . Endless summer." Nash smirked

"You right, bro!" Cameron returned the smirk and bro hugged Nash.

I slid my shoes off and sat on my bed, letting out a long sigh. "I just want my mom." I spoke lowly. No way Teagan could have possibly meant what she said. She has to still have still some type of feelings. Me and her have history. She was my first love, I was hers. Our moms were best friends and still are. We've been tight since the womb.

"You good, man?" Nash questioned as he sat next to me.

"Yeah." I said bluntly. But maybe she was being completely honest. Maybe she didn't feel the same as she did 3 years ago.

Nash sighed and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. "Talk to us. Me and Cameron give some pretty good advice." He nodded towards Cameron.

I turned to Cameron who smiled and nodded. "Yeah we do." He suggested as he patted my back.

I chuckled and shook my head. "I might as well take advice from Tez."

"Asshole!" I heard a yell come from the bathroom. The door opened, revealing the one and only Tez. "I'm actually a really great advice giver!"

"Where did you- I'm not even going to ask." Cameron began, shaking his head. "Anyways, you give shit advice!"

Tez's mouth parted. "I do not!"

Cameron rolled his eyes. "Yeah, okay. Remember whenever Teagan got in trouble when she was little? And you told her give her teacher something nice that pops out? Yeah, she gave her teacher a frog."

We all laughed at the memory. Teagan truly was a wild one. "I didn't tell her to give her teacher a frog! That was her choice . . . that shit was funny though! You can't lie." Tez protested.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night." Nash nodded. Tez shot a glare at him, causing Nash to put his hands up in defense.

I laughed lightly before standing up and sliding my slides on. "I'll be back, guys."

"Where ya going?" Nash questioned me.

"I just need to take care of something. Don't worry." I waved to them as I walked out the door. I began walking down the hallway, looking at the numbers.

702. 703. 704.

705.

I stopped in front of the door and took in a breathe. Re thinking everything. Is this what I wanted? Is this what I'll settle for?

I pursed my lips before knocking on the door.

It was silent for a moment. The door knob wiggled before it opened, revealing the brown hair and green eyed girl. "Hayes?" She questioned me.

"Meala, can I come in?" I asked her, scratching the back of my neck.

She stood for a moment, looking at me. Before letting out a long sigh and nodding, smiling. "Sure." She opener the door wider for me to come in.

I returned the smile back. Walking in.
