unknown (Hayes Grier)

•chapter 11•

I ran across the whole floor trying to find Hayes and whipping the tears off my cheeks. I ran upstairs to his room which was the only other place he could be.

I knocked on the door and surprisingly skylynn answered the door! "hi Lauren!" she said. "hi skylynn is Hayes here?" I asked her while sniffling. "sure! he's going to the bathroom." she said giggling. I tried to laugh but I couldn't. "Hayes, Lauren is here!" she screamed at the door. "okay!" Hayes screamed back.

after a minutes Hayes opened the door and saw me crying. "Lauren what's wrong?!" Hayes asked and then ran to hug me. "sammy, I saw him making out with another girl!" I told him crying into his chest. he brought me over to his bed and sat down. " I knew this was gonna happen." he said. I couldn't say anything, just kept crying. "I'm so

sorry Lauren." Hayes said rubbing my back. "it's okay." I said calming down.

after a moment Hayes got a text. "Nash asked me if we wanted to come down to his room with everyone else." Hayes told me. "is sammy gonna be there?" I asked. he texted Nash again asking him. "sadly yes, we don't have to go if you don't want too." he told me looking into my eyes. "no it's fine we can go." I told him and he smiled.

we walked out of the room and Hayes reached for my hand. "is it okay if I hold your hand?" he whispered. "yea it's fine." I said and he held my hand.

when we got there Hayes knocked and gilinsky answered. my eyes were probably still red and he could notice. gilinsky pulled me into a tight hug that lasted for about 15 seconds, then I hugged Johnson for about the same time. after I was done hugging them I went back with Hayes and cam was about to ask me something but Hayes cut him off. "cam don't say anything." he said and cam shut his mouth. I could tell sammy was staring at me but I didn't look at him once. I saw some other girls and some boys introduced me to them. "Lauren, this is my girlfriend taylor." Nash said. she was really pretty, she had long blonde hair with brown eyes. "this is my girlfriend Ellie." cam said. she was also really pretty, she had long brown hair and brown eyes. "this is my girlfriend Lauren!" carter said. hey we had the same same! she was really pretty! she has long brown hair with blue eyes. "hey we have the same name!" I told her and she smiled. "nice to meet all of you!" I told them all and they agreed. "so are you and Hayes dating?" Ellie asked me. "oh no! just friends." I said shaking my head. "oh okay." Ellie answered and looked at cam.

"what do you guys wanna do?" Aaron asked everyone. some people said, "I don't know." and others didn't say anything. "truth or dare?" carter said. everyone agreed and we sat in a circle. me next to Hayes and Ellie. "I'll go first!" Jacob said. "cam truth or dare?" Jacob asked Cameron. "truth!" he said. "how much do you love Ellie?" Jacob asked. "to the moon and back 100 times!" he said and smiled at Ellie and kissed her. the whole group awwed and it was cams turn. "Hayes truth or dare?" he asked Hayes. "dare!" Hayes answered. "okay I dare you to make out with Lauren for 2 minutes." he said. "um okay?" Hayes answered. he turned to me and connected our lips. this reminded me of the time we first kissed when we first met. the same sparks happened. when time was up we pulled away and I smiled at Hayes. "way to go." Ellie whispered in my ear and I smiled at her. "I'm gonna go to bed. I'm tired." I said yawning. "want me to come with you?" Hayes asked. "if you want to." I said. "okay I'll come!" he said. i was about to leave the room but I realized I don't have any clothes. they are all in Sammy's room! I turned around and looked at sammy. "um can I have the room key to get my clothes out of the room?" I asked him. sammy looked like he was about to cry and just said, "sure." while handing it to me.

I went with Hayes to get my clothes out of the room. when we got there I opened the door and walked in. the pillows were all wet, which I think was from him crying. I opened the drawers and started to get my clothes and put them in the suitcase. Hayes started helping me which was nice. when we were done we headed back to Hayes's room.

I set my stuff down on the floor and got out my pajamas. I went into the bathroom to change. after I was done I went back out to see Hayes. he was already in bed ready. he was also shirtless and I noticed I was starring and I think he noticed too. "is it okay if I sleep like this?" he asked. "yea that's perfectly fine." I said and got in the bed. I turned the light off and put my head down on the pillow. "thanks for everything Hayes." I said. "your welcome." he said and wrapped his arms around me. "goodnight." he said and kissed my forehead.

"good night Hayes." I said back.
