*Alyssa POV*
We get to Olive Garden and we sit down outside. "Elizabeth!" My mom suddenly yells. "Karen!" The lady yells back. "Alyssa this is my friend Elizabeth! Your going to be marrying her son!" My mom says."Alyssa it's been so long since I've seen you! You so grown up!" Elizabeth says hugging me. Elizabeth is Nash, Hayes, and Skylynn's mom. Wait!! Then this means I'm going to be marrying Hayes. I'm being forced to marry my bully. My mind starts going crazy and I sit down before I faint. Mom and Elizabeth start talking. All of a sudden I hear a little girls voice. "Alyssa!" The girl says. I look up and see Skylynn standing in front of me. "Skylynn!!" I say standing up. She gives me a big hug. Me and Skylynn are like best friends but I haven't seen her in a long time. "I haven't seen you in forever!! How old are you?" I say. "9! And your 17! And your going to be marrying my brother!" She says. "Yup. That's right!" I say. Just then I hear Hayes' voice. His voice is so soft and sweet. Wait he bullys me! I'm not suppose to like him! But I've had a crush on him for a long time! "Mom are they here yet?" Hayes asks his mom. "Yes! Hayes this is my friend Karen and her daughter Alyssa!" Elizabeth says motioning to me. I stand up with Skylynn and walk over to my mom. Hayes is stairing at me so I just look at my feet becuse I know that if I look into his eyes that I'm going to completely fall for him again. "Ok who's hungry?" Hayes' dad says. "Me!" We all say. We walk inside and the waitress leads us to our table. "I wanna sit by Alyssa!" Skylynn says. "Hey I thought you wanted to sit by me!!" Hayes says. "That was before I knew Alyssa was going to be here!!" Sky says. I laugh a little and sit down. 'Ok Hayes, Alyssa and Skylynn sit at that end and we will sit down here." Elizabeth says. I sit down next to Skylynn and Hayes sits across from us. "Alyssa will you color with me?" Sky asks. "Course." I say. I grab a crayon and start to color but then I stop because I feel someone stairing at me. I look up and sure enough Hayes is stairing at me. "What!?" I snap at him. "Sorry. When I see somone so beautiful I can't help but stare." He says. "I thought you said I was ugly." I say, my voice cracking. He doesn't say anythinf he just looks down. "I have to go to the bathroom." Sky says. "Mom I'm going to take sky to the bathroom!" I say walking away with Sky. "Can I stay with you?!" Sky asks. "Sure if it's ok with your mom!" I say. Sky goes to the bathroom and we go back to our table. The foods already there but no one's started eating. We sit down and everyone starts eating. Once we finish eatting our parents talk for a little bit and me and Sky color but Hayes never says a word. "Well we should get going." My dad says. "Mommy, Daddy can I stay with Alyssa? She said it's fine!!" Sky says as we all stand up. "Sure just let me get your booster seat out of the car." Her dad says. We all walk outside and wait for Mr.Grier to get Sky's booster seat. "I left my purse in there! I'll be right back!" I say. 'Hayes go help her!" Elizabeth say. Me and Hayes walk into the restraunt and go to where we were sitting. Luckily it's still there. I start to walk out of the restraunt but before I can open the door someone grabs my arm. I turn around and am face to face with Hayes. "Alyssa, please listen to me!" Hayes begs. "What?" I say. "Alyssa, what you said to me earlier, i-it broke my heart to know that you actually believe what I said. I regret bullying. And if I could I would take all of it back. And I know it's going to take a while for you to fully trust me, but can we just start over." Hayes say. I'm practically crying. "Hayes, you really hurt me.......but people deserve second chances." I say smiling. "Really?" Hayes asks. I nod my head and kiss his check. "I'll see you in 3 days!" I say walking away.
