my very best friend. (hayes grier)

chapter 19

I woke up and stared at the wall. the thoughts of yesterday slowly flood my mind. I groan and continue to lay there until my phone buzzes.

matt; hey! you doing any better? :/

me; yeah I guess.

matt; well hey, since im in town you wanna hang out?

me; sure! where are you staying anyways?

matt; Nash's haha. should I come over?

me; sure lol. you can just come in. my mom isn't here anyways.

I lock my phone and jump out of bed to get ready. I put on a pair of leggings and a black and white striped loose sweater. I throw my hair in a messy bun and put on some mascara. I walk out of the bathroom and back into my room. I decide to unpack some stuff in the meantime. I look at all of the boxes until I spot one that catches my eye.

hayes and I.

I slowly walk towards the box and pull the cardboard flaps open. I look at all the items. the gifts he gave me, everything. I pull out a heart shaped picture frame that contains a picture of hayes kissing my cheek. I remember this. my mom took it when we weren't looking.

**flash back**

"hayes! no! please don't squirt me!" I laughed as I ran from hayes, who was chasing me with a water gun. I really didn't wanna get wet.

"okay okay." he finally gave in. I smiled.

"thank youu." I sang. he smiled and put his arms around me. I put my head on his shoulder and looked at him, a cold stream of water hit my neck and went down my shirt.

"HAYES!" I yelled. he started cracking up. I had a mad expression on my face and he kissed me cheek, try to cheer me up.

snap!

"mooomm." I groaned as she stood there with her camera.

"honey, one day you'll be happy I took this photo!"

-flash back over-

yeah mom, im so joyed that you took this photo. the thought of that moment makes me cringe with anger. I pick the picture frame up and chuck it at the wall, and watch the pieces of broken glass shatter across the ground. I take a deep breath and finally calm down.

"ali?" I hear a voice echo from downstairs.

"up here!" matts finally here. I hear footsteps getting closer to my room so i plop down on my bed. matt soon walks in.

"hey!" i smile.

"hello beautiful." he says. I blush and jump up to hug him.

"so whatcha wanna do?" he says.

"anything but lay around. im kinda sick of that." i shrug.

"okay. well we could go out for lunch?" he asks.

"like as a date?" i raise my eyebrows and a smirk sneaks on my face. he chuckles a little bit.

"I guess you could call it that."

"well, why not!" I giggle. a grin from ear to ear appears on his face.

"let's go then!" he says and holds out his arm for me to link onto. I gladly take it and we walk out of my house.

"how are we getting there?" i kind of laugh.

"nash said I can use his car whenever so now's a good time!" he smiles.
