*Hayes' p.o.v* 

"Caitlyn stop."

"What?"

"Just stay." 

"Okay." 

What am I doing? I ask her to stay and I'm not even doing anything. I don't know if I can sit next to her because she kept her distance during the movie. 

What am I supposed to do Caitlyn? Do you want to be here? Do you still want me? Just tell me. Say anything. Do you expect me to make the first move? Maybe that's it. Is it Caitlyn? 

I answer the question for her in my mind and sit down next to her on the bed. She looks up at me with wide eyes and looks away. She's not used to this. That's how far apart we are. I have to do something. I don't care if she loves me or not. She agreed to be mine almost a year ago and I'm not going to lose her. 

I sigh and yawn, "I'm tired." 

I "stretch" my arms out and put my hand next to the other side of her waist. She seems to be confused. Just wait a little longer Caitlyn. I'm trying. 

I turn towards her and look at her. Come on, look back at me. 

She continues to fiddle with her fingers. I look at the clock and it's only 1:20. I've got time. 

I want to spend the next 2 weeks of summer enjoying my time with her and starting fresh in school. I don't want to grow even more apart when school starts. 

"Caitlyn." 

"Hm?" 

"You wanna play hide and seek?" 

I don't know. It's the first thing that popped up in my head.

She giggled, "Are you being serious?" 

"Well...yea if you are." 

"Umm...all right. Let's do it....not it!" 

"Ugh fine." 

I flip over with my stomach against the bed and start counting out loud. I hear her run out the door and I laugh inside. Good thinking. 

 As soon as I've counted to 100, I get up from the bed and walk towards the hallway. 

I know where she is. 

I run down the stairs and run straight to the kitchen. I look under the table to see a closed cabinet. 

I showed Caitlyn this cabinet under the table and told her that if a burglar ever broke into our house, then I would hide here. 

I tip-toe near it and open it quickly and yell.

"Oh my gosh! You scared me Hayes!" 

I laugh and point at her like I'm making fun of her. I lend a hand and help her out. 

"You're it." 

"Ugh fine." 

She went to the nearest wall and started counting out loud. 

I ran upstairs and hid behind a wall. I wasn't trying to hide. 

She yelled, " Ready or not, here I come!"
