Just Friends// h.g.

Chapter 10

*STILL HAYES' POV*

Everything felt so right... But wrong at the same time. I felt her two hands push me away. She just stared at me for a second. Her honey colored eyes were examining what had just happened.

She jerked up from her seat and ran to the other side of the room. "What's wrong?" I asked. She just looked at me.

"Do you not freaking realize that what we just did is really wrong?! You have a girlfriend! Hayes! Why would you do that?!" I looked at the ground realizing thats she was telling the truth. Its not fair for Aubrey.

"I'm sorry... I have no idea what happened, but I couldn't stop myself."

She walked over to the big window and opened it. "Um, I need some fresh air... I'll be right back."

With that she left and I saw her sit down on the porch. I screwed up. Ugh, why did I do that! Now, Michelle's gonna think I'm a cheater and a bunch of other stuff.

I screwed up big time. Now I'm gonna lose my best friend and girlfriend. I sat down and put my head in my hands.

Millions of thoughts went on inside my head. Do I like Michelle? I mean, do I STILL like her... When I reunited with Aubrey I was convinced that I didn't but.... I just don't know anymore.

*MICHELLE'S POV*

I feel terrible. I'm not gonna lie I enjoyed every little second but now..... Now it just feels wrong.

I don't particularly like Aubrey but I wouldn't do this to anyone.... On purpose.

I heard the window/door thing slide open and Nash came out. I didn't expect it to be Nash. He sat down next to me and he kinda just started to think. "Hayes told me. About what he did." He blurted out. I put my hand behind my neck. "Yeah.... I feel terrible..." I responded, looking at my black and white socks.

"He's really sorry. He didn't mean to do it. And Michelle?"

"Yeah?"

"I know you have a crush on him.." He said out of nowhere.

"What?! You're crazy! I don't. " I could tell that I sounded a little frantic. "Why does everyone think that? He is just my friend. Best friend, actually." I said biting my lip.

"Whatever you say..... But I know you're lying. Now, tell me the truth." He said looking at me.

I decided I have nothing to lose.

"Well, remember Jakob?"

He thought for a bit. "Yeah, He actually went on tour for like the last two events."

"Well he also moved back here. And me and him have been hanging out...."

"And you think you might like him, but then again you think you might like Hayes." He threw a rock to the tree in front of us and a nut fell.

"Wow. How did you know? Its like you can read my mind."

"A little. But You might wanna go in there and talk to Hayes. Hes in there thinking that you're mad at him.

I got up and hugged Nash. "Thank you."

"For what?"

"For being like a brother to me, and always being there when I need you."
I looked at him and went inside.

Hayes wasn't in the living room so I started walking up the stairs.

"Come in" he responded when I knocked on his door. I walked in and he was laying down looking up at the ceiling.

I opened my mouth to talk but no words came out. He looked at me expecting something. "You hate me, don't you."

I laid down next to him. "I could never hate you."

"I'm really sorry, Michelle. I wasn't thinking. It was a mistake." He looked at me straight in the eyes. I had to look away for him not to realize that what he just said hurt me.

So now I'm a mistake. Great, nice to know I'm still in the friendzone. What was I thinking? Oh, Hayes kissed me, he likes me! I guess I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up that something could actually be going on. I was so stupid.

"Yeah.... Just a mistake. Lets just forget about it."
