Forever and Always-Hayes Grier fanfic

Chapter 33

*GRACE POV*

Blood dripped down my wrist to the floor. I cried even harder and held my wrist. My crying slowed down after a few minutes. The pain in my arm was intense at first but now it's nearly numbed by my broken heart.

I heard footsteps through the hallway.

"Shit." I mumbled to myself. I tried my best to wipe off the blood and threw on an old sweatshirt. I quickly rinsed my face as Jillian walked into my bedroom.

"Grace?" she called.

"In here!" I called back trying not to sound like I was just crying, although she probably knows I was. I casually walked out of the bathroom and Jillian weakly smiled when she saw me.

"Are you okay?" she asked as the pulled me into a hug. My arms stretched around her causing my sleeve to get pulled up a little bit but I slid it back down.

No I'm not okay.

She let go and grabbed my hands. I winced as her thumb ran over my wrist. She noticed and looked worried.

"What is it?"

"Nothing, it's nothing. I'm fine really." I gave her a reassuring smile and she left the room. I sighed lightly and checked my wrist that left blood seeping through my sleeve. I didn't realize how deep one of the cuts was but I didn't care.

*HAYES POV*

I'm miserable. I want to see Grace. I want to spend a day watching movies with her like we always do and I want to have her in my arms. I want to hug her and kiss her and it drives me crazy knowing that I can't. And I can't because why? I fucked up that's why.

*GRACE POV*

"Why!?" I heard my dad ask/yell. Carly, Jillian and I just got back from shopping. We went because Carly needed clothes for her pregnancy, but I think most of it was to distract me from the while Hayes situation. But it didn't work. The whole time I was staring into space and wasn't aware half the time they were talking to me. I just couldn't focus. Deep down, I know I still love him.

As we slowly walked through the hallway saw my mom and dad talking in the kitchen.

"Because he-..." my mom stopped talking when she saw us. "Hey how was it?" she asked smiling.

"Fine." Jillian replied.

"What were you guys talking about?" I asked, even though I kinda knew what it was about.

"Um, your mother was telling me about Hay-" he cut himself off and gave me a sympathetic look.

"Cheated on me? It's okay to say it." I chuckled trying to lighten the mood,

But it didn't really work...

"I'm sorry sweetie." my mom told me. I nodded and looked away, trying to avoid eye contact because I felt myself tearing up. I walked up the stairs but stopped at the top when I heard my name. I hid behind the wall and listened. They were all keeping their voices down.

"Mom I feel bad for both of them." Carly said.

"Yeah me too, I mean it's obvious they really love each other." Jillian said.

"Oh come on they can't be in love!" My dad said getting irritated. Figures, he's always been this way.

"I think we should try to get them back together. He had a good reason and they are both miserable without each other." Jillian explained. It made me happy that they cared so much but it also made me sad to see myself with him after this. But maybe I should give him a chance. Although I already have been cheated on by Michael and Hayes doing the same thing really makes me loose my trust.
