Heart Ache

Chapter 2~

<Taylor's POV>

I woke up to light kissed on my cheek, neck, and shoulder. I smiled feeling the contact of his warm lips to my cold skin and nuzzled into his chest. Last night, after my meet, we all came back to Erica and my apartment, ordered a pizza, and went to bed since we have school today. Skylar and Nate fell asleep in the guest room while Erica and Jace slept in Erica's room and Hayes and I in mine. Currently, I was pulled into Hayes hard yet soft chest by my waist.

"Baby? You awake?" He whispered quietly enough that if I were asleep it wouldn't wake me but loud enough for me to hear since I was awake.

"Mhm...good morning, handsome." I smiled and wiped my eye sleepily.

"Morning, beautiful." He smiled against my neck giving my waist a squeeze. "We should get ready to go." He whispered.

"Okay." I sighed slowly sitting up out of Hayes arms.

"I didn't mean without a kiss first." He pouted. I giggled at his childish behavior and kissed him quickly before pulling away to take my shower and get dressed. "Ugh! No fair." He yelled after me as I giggled and closed the bathroom door.

<Hayes' POV>

I got up after she went to take her shower and such to get dressed. I pulled on the black jeans and black 'Vans Off The Wall' t shirt with my black vans that I had brought yesterday. It took a whole 30 seconds and now I was just wandering around Taylor's room looking at her swim awards, ribbons, trophies. So many trophies. I walked over to her shelf of trophies and found one of them sitting on a black leather book. A diary perhaps? God, I hope so. I laughed to myself as I pulled the book out and opened it.

Something I love to do

Swimming. I don't know what it is about the sport, but I love it. Maybe it's how good the cool water feels in contrast to my warm skin as I dive in. I'm not sure. All I know is this: It's when I'm at most peace with myself. I can't hear everyone screaming at you to win. I can't see my opponents racing to beat me. I can only see the lines of the pool floor as I swim over then. I can feel my body move swiftly across the water. I can feel how fast my feet kick to propel me forward. I can feel how serene everything is at that moment. It's the moment when I feel completely alone, nobody to be seen. Just me and the water, and we work together as one. It's just me in the pool as I swim peacefully along. And before I know it, my race is over, and I have won.

I turned the next page curious to read more of my beautiful girlfriends deep thoughts.

Someone I love

Hayes. How do I even put this into words? I can't. There is too much to tell. Too many memories to express into one paper. Honestly, the word 'love' doesn't do justice enough for how much I feel towards him. I feel adoration, admiration, kindness, and passion. Love simply cannot hold all my feelings towards him, but live definitely is one of the strongest feelings I have towards him. He has been there to help me through so much. He makes me feel invincible. I just wrote about how swimming is something I love that makes me peaceful, and every time I have a meet he's there. He has never missed one. And every time I'm about to dive in to the water what calms me down is him. I look over and see him. He's staring at me with such concern and hope for me. Concern for my anxiousness to win, concern for my nervousness. And it calms me completely. It relaxes me before I dive in. Without him I don't know how I'd be able to calm myself, but thanks to him, I don't need to find out. I don't know if this answers your question, Mr. Smither, as to why I love someone, but this is all I can express through words because, as I said before, there really are no words strong enough for my love for him.
