*a few days later
"Hayden? Wake up. I gotta go to work hun," I felt my mom shake me. "Can I take a today off? I'm feeling awful..." I grumbled. "Really? You've missed these last few days" She said putting her hand on her hip, I nodded and cuddled back into my sheets. "Fine, but today is the last day Renaé." She said sternly before walking out, I want to do online school, like what could it hurt? It would be much easier, I could do my work at home but how do I bring that conversation up with my mom.

I'm so thankful Grayson had early Football practice these past few days, so he didn't stop by. I haven't talked to him in a few days. It's not that I don't want to see him, I just don't want him to get overwhelmed with my problems

I slowly got up and went into my bathroom removing my T-shirt, then my spandex's. I walked to the mirror and my bruises looked even more nasty. I let out a shaky breath and stepped out of the mirrors sight. I removed the rest of my clothing and went to the shower.

I slipped on a matching grey Calvin Klein bra and underwear, then booty shorts. I put my hair in a messy bun, and brushed my teeth.

I walked out of the bathroom and plopped on my bed grabbing my phone. I had a so many messages from Gray these past few days, but I haven't gotten any today.

I hate isolating him, but I can't let him get sucked into my drama, he's already done enough for me. God, he's truly to good for me. I'm awful for ignoring him, but I'm doing it for him not to stress.

I cuddled into my sheets again, feeling much cleaner. My eyes began shut and I let darkness take over them.

I woke up, stretched and winced because of the pain on my stomach. "Are you okay?" I heard a deep voice say behind me, scaring the shit out of me. I turned to see Grayson sitting in my cool little corner chair. "Uh yeah...I just bent my arm to far," I lied, I pulled the blanket up covering my stomach because I was wearing only a bra. He nodded and I could tell he wasn't to happy. "Why have you been ignoring me?" He asked avoiding eye contact. I sat up carefully, holding the blanket up and sighed. "It's nothing..."

"Well obviously it's not just nothing Hayden, you've literally just cut me off. What's going on?" He said he looked at me straight in the eye and his voice raising a little bit more than last time. "I swear, you did nothing wrong, I just got some problems I need to deal. I don't want to stress you out," I said with a shaky voice looking away from him.

"Hayden, I've told you this before. I'm here for you to fall back on! I will always be here, don't feel like your gonna stress me out or annoy me. It might get a little stressful but I can handle it." He said getting up. "I know Gra-" I started but he cut me off. "Hayden, we are a couple. We are like a team, but I feel like I'm the only one who try's lately. Can't you see Hayden? I care so much about you! It's like your blind to it! All I want is for you to open up to me like I do to you." He argued running his fingers through his hair, he looked at me and I could tell he held in a lot of emotion.

"Grayson, it's not like I'm blind to it! That's exactly why I'm a avoiding you Gray! You have no idea." I said trying to sound loud but it came out as a soft whisper. "Then tell me! Hayden all I want is for you to open up to me..." he sighed, I looked at him. "It's harder than you think."

He shook his head and began to walk out, I stood up to my feet and grabbed his arm to keep him from going. I didn't realize how much I missed him until he was about to leave "Please don't leave..." I mumbled, he looked back at me, his eyes traveled down and stopped at my stomach and his eye shot open. I forgot about that for a moment and mentally slapped myself for it. "Hayden... what happened?" He asked still looking at my stomach.

I let go of his arm, I let out a shaky breath. No need lie to him, he's right he opens up to me, I can do the same thing. "Baby, What happened?" He asked much softer, I looked at him and he had a frown on his face. I was shaking and I was so close to crying.

"M-Maddie and" I said but paused, he's going to flip. "And who? Who was it?" He asked scanning my stomach. "I know those aren't made by Maddie," he said, "Keith." I sobbed, his hands were now is fists at his sides. I grabbed one of his hands, "please... don't say anything or do anything ," I cried.

"M-Maddie and-" She started and stopped. "And who? Who was it?" I scanned her stomach, those fists aren't a girls fist. "I know those aren't made by Maddie," I said, "Keith," she said sobbing. I was gonna hurt him. No one and I mean no one, touches her. I can't believe she didn't tell me, I could tell she's struggling to even get past this. I felt her small hand grab my hand and immediately my body relaxed, "Please... don't say anything or do anything ," she cried.

"What do you mean? Hayden, these bruises are bad. You don't deserve this, I'm not gonna let someone hurt you like this." I paused, "Remember when Keith was talking shit and you stuck up for me? And I told you not to because I don't want to stress you out, and you told me that you were always going to stick me for me, you also asked me if I would stick up for you, and I told you yes. You also told me That this is a real effort and we do this together like a couple," I said, looking at her.

She nodded and began to sob even harder, I pulled her into my arms and softly rubbed her back. Her hands traveled under my shirt, she always does this. It meant be little but it sends weird feelings. I felt her small cold hands rest on my back sending shivers down my body and goosebumps. "This is like that babe, I will always have your back. I'm not going to let someone get away with this," I told her and kissed her head, she tighten her grip on me and sobbed into my T-shirt.

She has no idea what I would do for her, i carefully picked her up and she wrapped her legs around my torso. I sat on her bed and held her, it hurts to see her in so much pain. I should of came sooner, but I thought she needed space or something.

I pulled away from her and wiped her tears off her face with the pads of my thumbs , "it's going to be okay, I'm here" I said softly and kissed her nose, then her forehead.

She nodded and rubbed her eyes as I rubbed her lower back. "Your so cute even when your crying," I said with a small smile. "You are so cheesy," she groaned with a small giggle and laid her head back on my shoulder.

We sat there for a while, it was comfortable. I missed her these past few days, I've honestly never felt this way towards a girl before. Just everything about her is perfect, I definitely fallen for her.

She crawled off me and laid down on her bed, I crawled to her and placed a soft kiss on each one of her bruises and then on her lips before laying down next to her. I softly rubbed her stomach and she cuddled into me, god I missed this and it's only been a few days. I don't what I'm going to do when I go on tour in a couple months, I don't know what I'm going to tell her.
