Moving in with the Griers

Chapter 8

I could hear Will and his wife from the other side of the wall. They were blasting TV. I couldn't sleep. I walked out of my room groggily and checked the clock. It was 12:43. I opened Hayes door and saw him asleep.

He opened his eyes and saw me.

"Whats wrong?" He asked sitting up.

"Can I sleep with you?"

He lifted his blankets and I slipped inside of them. He cuddled next to me.

"Will and Jeanne were blasting TV from their room." I said. He pulled me close to him. I was sweatpants and a tank top.

***Time Skip***

I heard weird sounds that woke me up. It was currently... 2:03.

They kept coming. It sounded like someone throwing up. I instantly got up and tied my hair in a bun. I walked to the bathroom and saw Skylynn throwing up.

"Lydia." She cried. "It hurts." She was crying. I sat next to her hunched over body by the toliet. I rubbed her back as she continued to throw up. I wanted to throw up listening to the sounds.

I heard more footsteps. Then I saw Hayes feet. I looked up at him.

"Is she throwing up?" He asked. I nodded.

I pulled back her hair with my hand.

"Hayes, will you grab a hair tie?" I groggily said. He opened a drawer and handed me a black hair tie.

I loosely tied her hair back in a pony tail. She threw up again.

Hayes sat down and leaned against the cabinets closing his eyes but still paying attention.

"You're guys kids will be lucky." She said weakly. I huffed a little and hayes slightly smiled.

"Hayes will you grab her a cup of water please?" I said. He nodded and walked away.

"Make it stop please." She cried.

"If I could this would never have happened, but love, its human nature." I said.

Hayes came walking back in and handed me the cup.

She took it and gargled then spit. Elizabeth came running in.

"Lydia, Hayes!" She smiled. "Thank you guys."

I stood up and so did Hayes.

"Get feeling better." I mumbled and Hayes and I left.

"I fall in love with you more and more each second." He kissed me on top of my head.

"Hayes you know I love you. But honey, its way to early in the morning to have a conversation." I said and Hayes laid down in bed and I laid my head on top of his bare chest and cuddled him.

"Love you." Hayes smiled.

"Love you too." I said.

****Time Skip****

I woke up and saw Hayes already awake but still letting me cuddle him. He was on his phone. I sat up and he looked at me.

"I hope we don't get sick." I said.

"I thought you were going to throw up because you ran out of the room and it scared me." He said. "I thought you were pregnant."

"How could I be pregnant? We haven't done it before."

"But we could." He smirked. I smacked his chest. "I'm serious!"

"I know your serious! That's why i smacked you." I said. "I'm not ready." I whispered to myself but he heard.

"Are you-are you virgin?" He asked. I nodded. "Me too. But I'm ready whenever you are."

I admired the fact that he wanted to wait till I was ready. My old boyfriend tried to peer pressure me. I wanted to marry Hayes. I wanted Hayes and only Hayes.

I stood up and locked his bedroom door.

~Y'all already know what happened so we just gon skip~

I got into a shower and after me Hayes did. We went back to bed with wet hair. We cuddled each other back to sleep.

"One day I will marry you. I promise." Hayes whispered in my ear.

***Time Skip***
Elizabeth told us to all wear something athletic. So I wore this.

She said the boys would probably end up shirtless so she didn't care. Hayes wore basketball shorts and a T-shirt.

We all drove in separate cars. Hayes and I went with Taylor and Nash in Hayes car. Hayes and I were up frknt and they were in back.

"What do you think we're doing?" Taylor askes. She was wearing something similar to mine but all black.

"Something athletic." Nash laughed.

"I'm so out of shape though." She complained. We all chuckled. Hayes turned on some light music. The car ride seemed to take forever. It was 45 minutes long. Nash would drive on the way back.

We arrived and it was an obstical course.

***Time Skip***

Hayes and I were both wet. Turns out part of the course involved water. On the way back I laid my head on Hayes lap while we shared a blanket.

When we got home I went to my room and sat on my bed. I started getting a phone call. It was my sister. I answered.

Lydia: Hey hayley, whats up?
Hayley: Aunt Vernon died and we want you back home for the funeral.
Lydia: How long?
Hayley: A week.

Hayes football game was next Thursday and it was Saturday today. I could fit that in my schedule.

Hayley: Mom already bought your tickets. The first one is for tomorrow at 10 am.
Lydia: Okay, I guess I'll see you tomorrow.
Hayley: Love you.
Lydia: Love you too. Bye.
Hayley: Bye.

I wasn't really happy I was being sent home. I didn't really know Aunt Vernon well. Hayes wouldn't be happy. Neither would Skylynn. Or anyone here.

I walked towards Hayes room and knocked on the door.

"Come in!" He yelled.
