Colby

It's been a week and things seem to be a bit better. Hayden is still sad as shit, trust me, but it's not that hard at this moment. Well that was until yesterday, when the funeral was. Hayden completely broke down and I couldn't help but cry my eyes out too. It really was a sad day and I think everyone felt it.

I guess the funeral made me feel somewhat better, I don't know of to describe it, but I would like to think it's because I now know that she is in a better place. At least I hope so.

Anyway, I learned that Hayden might not have kids in the future because of her inhospitable uterus, and that didn't actually have anything to do with the miscarriage. Sometimes things happens without a explication, and I guess we have to accept that.

My phone suddenly made a noise signaling I had gotten a text, which made me jump. Not prepared to get dragged out of my thoughts like that. I rubbed my face with my hands and decided to check my phone. I had a text from Hayden.

Hayden:
I'm bored, do you want to see a movie with me?

My heart started beating faster when I read it, I never really got over her, I don't think I ever will. Therefore the text made me happy and also nervous, I guess I now know what she felt when we first got to know each other.

It's hard to not think about her, but I'm trying my best to hide the feelings I still have, it's really hard. Especially nowadays, I'm with her a lot and it makes it harder for me. But I still have this hope that maybe we will get back together somehow.

Colby:
Sure, I'll be over in a few minutes.

Hayden:
Thanks:)

I quickly took a shower and put on a hoodie and sweatpants, not really caring if I looked like trash.

When I was done with that, I grabbed my keys and headed over to her apartment, which was basically next door to me. Only the staircase and a wall was between us. Which is actually a fucking weird coincidence.

Instead of knocking on the door, I just walked inside. Amanda was probably not home, so I knew it wasn't a problem. As I walked in, I saw Hayden laying on the couch, her eyes was glued to the tv screen. I chuckled and walked over to her.

"What are you watching?" I asked her as I walked, she looked up at me and her eyes brighten up.

"Rick and Morty, I'm on season 3." She told me and sat up, when I got closer I sure enough saw the familiar tv show plying. I grinned and sat down beside her.

"How are you?" I asked and put my arm around her shoulder, it really just have become a normal thing for me to do at this point. And I don't think Hayden had anything against it, as she rested her head on my shoulder.

"I'm fine I guess, I don't really know how to answer that." She told me and snuggled closer to me, my heart was beating too fast at this moment.

"I feel the same way, but its going to get better." I told her and kissed her forehead without thinking, she looked up at me and smiled.

"Anyway, what do you want to watch?" She asked and looked back at the screen, the Xbox console was now resting on her lap. I shrugged and took it from her, and started to scroll through Netflix.

We ended up looking for a movie for the longest time before finally deciding on 21 Jump Street. We both thought that a funny movie would be perfect for us both, just to brighten our mood.

"I haven't seen this movie in years." She told me with her eyes glued to the screen. I couldn't help but stare at her instead.

"Same." I mumbled, still looking at her. How can someone be so beautiful, I literally don't understand how.

I thought my feelings for her would go away, but they didn't. I guess I really was in love with her, I don't understand why I did something so stupid to loose her. If I could go back in time and take it back, I would. Maybe we would still be together if I wasn't such a dumb fuck.

Just thinking about it makes me sad, I really hope I get to have her back in my life as it used to be.

I'm going to try my fucking hardest to get her back. I really am.

A/N
Sorryyyyy another short chapter, but I really didn't think about how fucking hard it is to write about two sad people, I mean people who lost a baby.

BUT I hope you enjoyed this chapter🖤
