And When He Is Here // hayes grier

Chapter 28

↠Bradie

I flipped on the switch to my bedroom. It was 4 in the morning by the time I got home from the flight. My trip to California tired me out but I couldn't be happier that I went. I was going to unpack when I woke up. "Bed!" I ran to my bed and flied onto it. I lied there. Scenes with Myles kept replaying in my head. From when I first showed up to his house and he answered the door. I could tell how we are siblings. He has curly brown hair and green eye like me. He even had freckles. My mom pointed something out about us, that we have the same noses.

It was awkward at first. Seeing somebody you had no clue about until a month ago. But after we caught up for a little bit it became less awkward. We learned a lot about each other.

He lost his memory like I did, but got it back three years ago.

The family he's with now was the family he went with after the accident. They used to live in Virginia but a few years ago they moved to California. In a few weeks they're actually moving back to Virginia. Our parents said we could meet up again once he moves to Virginia sense we will be closer.

I woke up suddenly. I didn't even remember falling asleep. My thoughts consumed me. I turned over to look at my clock.

3:27 pm

I slept half of the day. If actually felt good. Everybody was out of school now. I decided to get in the shower then maybe talk to Joely after and tell her about my trip. I talked to her during but not really in detail. I miss the people I talk to everyday. I haven't really talked to them all sense my party. I got up from my bed and got a little lightheaded from standing up it fast.

I unpacked the things I needed for my shower out of my suitcase. I headed to my bathroom. I passed my desk on the way. There was a folded up piece of notebook paper sitting where my laptop goes. "Did I leave this?" I spoke quietly to myself. I unfolded the paper and I could recognize the handwriting anywhere. Hayes. He came over? Ryan told him about Myles. Well I didn't so who else was going to. Memories flooded back of the night I broke up with him. I actually think we would be back together if I wasn't gone. But a part of my doesn't know if I want to be back together with him. He lied to me. But, I lied to him too. I began to read from the top.

When I first met you I had no idea you'd be so important to me. But when I did meet you I wanted something. I didn't know what it was, maybe friendship, maybe more. But now, I could not be more thankful for you. I let you into my world then you became it. You make me happy in many different ways everyone thinks of how beautiful you are, but behind that pretty face there's also a good personality and a heart of gold. If I could tell you how much you mean to me I would. It will take forever, but I don't mind.

It made no sense to me. We aren't together anymore. There's no us. There's nothing for him to be thankful for. I'm not his world anymore. There's nothing more now. Not even friendship.

But it all made sense at the exact sane time. I don't know what we are anymore but I know if you are in love with someone and you break up because of something that is completely irrelevant, you can't go back to behind just friends.

Irrelevant.

I broke up with Hayes because of something so stupid. Something that had nothing to do with me. It was between Dylan and Hayes. Not me. And if Dylan would have wanted me to know then he would have. "Ugh how can I be so stupid." I talked to myself once again.

"I could agree with you on that." I spun around to see who spoke. Ryan was leaning against the door frame. I ran to him and wrapped my arms around his neck. He returned my hug and we stood there for a good 30 seconds.
