The Desire (Hayes Grier fanfic)

Chapter 4

I walked over to the Griers and rang the doorbell.

The door opened, It was Elizabeth, their mom.

"Hello Lizzy! Long time no see! Why dont you come in and make yourself comfortable."

It felt so awkward being in this house again. The Griers house always smelled like apples and cinnamon because Elizabeth always had candles going that were that scent. Being here brought back good memories.

Flashback

Hayes and I just got out of the last day of school as a 5th grader so we were pretty happy. We ran into Hayes house and went to the backyard and jumped into the pool fully clothed because we didnt care. Everything was going great.

Elizabeth walked into the living room and sat down in the recliner next to the couch I was sitting on.

"Nash took Hayes to Lacrosse practice so they wont get back till about 4."

It was 3:30. I still couldnt stand the fact that i was staying in the same house as my ex-bestfriend and that i was going to see him in 30 minutes.

"Okay. Thanks for telling me. Where am i going to sleep tonight?"

"You can sleep where ever you want! There is a guest bedroom next to Hayes bedroom, the family room, or where your sitting."

"Okay thanks."

I walked up the stairs to the guest room that was next to Hayes room. It was a regular room, nothing perfect. It was better than a couch and I have privacy. I sat my bag down by the dresser and walked out. Hayes bedroom door was open and i couldnt stand it not to go in there. His room was the same as it was 3 years ago, the same bed comforter and pillow cases. It felt so good to be back in his room, I actually missed it, and the smell of axe made me miss him. I heard the front door open and shut. I ran back into the guest room where i was staying and grabbed my phone out of my bag. I got on twitter and started scrolling throught my timeline so i didnt look suspicious.

I could hear someone walking up the stairs and i got a little scared because i didnt know what Hayes would think when he saw me here. I looked at my phone so i didnt look like i was paying attention.

"Hey Liz. I havent seen you in awhile!" I looked up to see Nash standing there in the doorway.

"Hi Nash. Nice to see you again." I got up and walked over to him and we hugged. He is like my brother so it didnt mean anything to me really.

"Hayes is downstairs talking to my mom. If you want to go talk to him you can."

I nodded and said okay. I locked my phone and put it in my back pocket and walked down the stairs. As i turned the corner to walk into the kitchen, which was where Elizabeth was, Hayes and I bumped into eachother. We were both speechless.

"O-oh. um. Im sorry"

Hayes just stood there in shock.

"I can see you guys have said hi already. Hayes, Lizzy is staying the weekend with us while her mom is out of town. Is everything okay between you two?" Hayes mom said as she walked up behind Hayes.

"Um. Y-yeah mom. Its alright." Hayes said in a confused tone.

"Well I'll let you two catch up." Elizabeth walked out of the room.

Me and Hayes were still standing there speechless. I couldnt stand the silence anymore so i had to say something.

"Um. Hi I guess."

Hayes didnt reply for about 5 seconds.

"H-hi."

Hayes looked like he was lost and confused.
