Forbidden: A Hayes Grier Fanfiction.

Forbidden: Chapter 23

Abbie's POV:

after the incident at cam's house, i got Matt to drive me home. my house was only about a ten minute walk because we lived in the same neighborhood, but it was almost 11 and i was not taking the chance of getting kidnapped.

"thanks Matt." i said as i opened my door.

"anytime abs. just call me whenever you call me." tears were welling up in my eyes and i knew if i spoke i would start crying, so i just nodded and smiled. i got out and rushed to the door.

mason was standing there in the kitchen eating a piece of pizza.

"where have you been?" he was so nosy, i hated it.

"Cameron's house."

"oh, okay. by the way, mrs grier, you know, Hayes mom, she called and wanted me to tell you to call her back as soon as you could." i pulled my phone out of my bag and unlocked it.

one missed call from mrs grier,

two texts from gilinsky. awesome.

i went upstairs and put on some nike shorts and my old nirvana sweatshirt. i pulled my hair back in what was probably the most revolting bun ever, and sat down on my bed. i called mrs grier.

"hello?"

"hey, this is abbie!" i tried to put some cheer in my voice.

"oh, hello abbie! i tried to call you about an hour ago and you didn't answer so i called your house phone. your brother said you were out."

"yeah, im sorry about that. i was at cameron's house watching a movie with my group of friends. what did you need now?" i was ready to go to sleep so i sort of rushed this whole conversation.

"oh, yes. i know this is such short notice, but i would like to know if you could keep skylynn tomorrow? we are out of town at the moment and the boys are driving out to see will, so we need someone to keep her for about 4 hours. do you think you could do it for about 15 dollars an hour?" i wasn't going to turn down a good 60 dollars, but i also didn't want to have an awkward encounter with Hayes. i put my feelings aside like usual though.

"of course i will!"

"okay, if you could just get to our house at about 10 o'clock, and we'll be home at about 2 o'clock. the boys might be home early though."

"okay, i gotcha! i will see you tomorrow."

"alright, thank you so much." she clicked off and my heart sank to the bottom of my stomach.

what if he decides not to go and we're there alone with skylynn? what will he do? i mean, he did just kiss me about an hour ago.

no, stop it abbie. you can't feel this way, you have to help out. i sat my feelings aside once more, and went to sleep.

...

i got up at 9:00 exactly, and got dressed. i put on a little makeup and decided on just putting my black nike shorts on and an old guy harvey shirt on. it was only sky, after all. it was a groggy Sunday morning, and i was so very tired.

i left the house at 9:45 so i could get to the house before Nash left. i got there at 9:58 exactly.

as i was walking up to the door, Hayes opened it and grinned at me while raising his eyebrows. i scrunched my nose at him in disgust. he grinned even bigger. i walked in and Nash smiled at me. he had on a tank top and skinny jeans, so you could tell that his arm was bruised. he smiled at me and said,

"sky is upstairs, thanks so much!" he left and i went upstairs to find Skylynn sitting on her bed brushing her My Little Pony's hair and humming a sweet little song.

"you have the sweetest little voice." she jumped at the sound of my voice, and turned around. her eyes lit up and she came running to me.

"abbie abbie abbie!!" she screamed and i picked her up. she hugged me so tight.

"i missed you so much!" she said while hugging me.

"i missed you too, doll." she had grown some since the last time i saw her, and she had gotten a new haircut. she was so pretty.

for the next few hours, we danced to music off my phone, watched My Little Pony, ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and played horses. we were sitting on the couch just talking and then she exclaimed in excitement.

"what is it sky?" i was confused.

"i don't know if i should tell you!" she looked sort of sad.

"tell me sky." she nodded and took my hand. she led me upstairs to Hayes' bedroom.

"i don't know if we should be going in here sk-" she opened the door and led me to his dresser. she got the little stool that sat by his bed and searched around on his dresser until she found a wad of papers stapled together. she handed them to me.

"well, sometimes i find Hayes in here reading these on his bed. last time i opened his door a little bit and peeked in, and he was crying and reading it again. it made me sad but i couldn't tell anybody! so now that you're here, you can read it to me and then I'll know why Hayes is so sad." there were two pieces of paper messily stapled together with folds all in it.

"let me read it sky." it read:

"abigail ivy benson,

i have waited an agonizing three and a half years for you. you are what makes me happy, and you have showed me what it is to love someone despite the flaws and the fights in your relationship. i screwed up big time baby. i accused you, and i was wrong. it's taken me three days to piece all of my words and emotions together, and three awful days of not talking to my beautiful girl. not seeing you. not coming to your doorstep crying and pleading for forgiveness. that was one of the hardest things ive ever had to do. it killed me to see you subtweet me, and it killed me even more to not call you and tell you all of this. you mean the absolute world to me baby girl. i know it's been rough these past three days, i know you are probably beyond angry at me for not saying anything.

what im trying to say here is that i couldn't and wouldn't give you up for anything or anyone. you are my everything. my girl. you're mine, and im so glad. im about to come to your house baby, and i have so much for you. i got you The 1975 tickets, and the concert is on your birthday! i know that this wont makeup for my mistake, but i hope it helps in some way. see you soon baby girl.

September 5-

it's your birthday baby girl. i miss you more than anything. im bawling my eyes out writing this letter that you'll never read. its your 17th birthday, and i hope it's the best one yet. you deserve the world. we broke up just 8 short days ago, and it's killing me. i miss you so much more than you will ever know or comprehend. i sold the tickets, i couldn't bare to go without you. everything reminds me of you, and it's tearing me apart. i love you more than anything baby girl, i hope i will see you soon.

September 13-

i saw you today, and i kissed you one last time. you're with Jack now, at least that's what it looks like. you don't know how much i miss and love you baby girl. i wish i could tell you all this, but you hate me. im

so sorry that i was so cold. i want you back baby girl. don't forget about me..."

tears filled my eyes, and mr and mrs grier walked in. sky ran downstairs and had forgotten all about the note. i folded it up and stuck it in the waistband of my shorts.

mrs grier paid me and i said my goodbyes. i drove home and went up to my room. i sat there staring at the ceiling. what had i done? i ruined him.

my phone virbrited.

it was Jack. i never read his text from last night either. i opened our message log.

J: im sorry about tonight. please talk to me.

J: hey

then there was a knock at the door. i opened it and Jack was standing there. he grabbed my face and kissed me right there on my doorstep. everything changed then.
