Love at first slap?

Chapter 16

Well I guess I know the answer now. I should be happy but how? I know Nash wouldn't lie to me because we used to be such good friends. I just wish that Hayes would've noticed me before. And what if Nash's feeling for me come back? My phone vibrates in my pocket and to be honest it kinda scared me. Like I fell off his bed kind of scared. Hayes helps me up but we both burst out laughing. But I shhh him so I can answer the call. My mom is broken. She tells me that if I can I should stay with Hayes for the night because she needs the night alone. I insist that I should go home and help her but she wants me to just stay with him. His mom comes in to tell me it's okay but I'm trying to insist that I can stay with my friend Kristina but she says I may as well just stay. I thank her graciously and be happy for her letting me stay. She shows me to the guest room. I settle myself down and she says just call me Elisabeth. I saw thanks for everything and she leaves. But of course after she goes to bed Hayes creeps the door open to see of I'm awake. Once he sees that I am he fully opens the door. I just crack a small fake smile. He knows I hurt and he wants me to smile and I'm not going to say it isn't working. He takes my arm in his like small children and we march off to his room. He moves his 2 bean bag chairs in front of his tv. We both settle down into the chairs and he turns on his xbox. The one thing I'm absolutely horrible at. Video games. He gets a racing game and we have a full out competition. Then Nash is leaning against the door listening in and the door pushes open on accident.
