Change (a Hayes Grier fanfiction)

Thirty Six

"So are you going to stay?" Hayes asks me

"Where?"

"At the apartment with us?" Cam says

"I- no. I can't, I need my Aunt. I'm sorry."

"You can't just leave." Nash says with tears in his eyes.

"It's for the better." I explain. I give them each a hug, even Hayes, he whispered in my ear.

"I like you better with brown hair."

Flashback

"Hayes, should I keep my hair brown or should I dye it pink." This was when I was being rebellious and we were at Hayes' mom's house.

"Do the temporary stuff, just to see." I had dyed my hair coral pink and it didn't look to awesome,

"Eh, I like it brown." He gives me a kiss,

"Me too."

I ended up dying it back to brown because I didn't want the hassle of doing my roots all the time.

Flashback Over

"I'll die it brown again." I whisper back. I could feel the tear on my shoulder and I started crying myself.

"I'll talk to you later." I tell them, I get into the car and my Aunt and I head off to the airport.

"Are you ok sweetheart?"

"Yah, they remind me too much of Taylor."

We got to the airport and the normal stuff happened. We got onto the plane and I looked out the window, I could see into the other waiting areas and I saw Nash, Cam and Hayes. For some miraculous reason Hayes saw me too. He stood up and went to the window, my tears were falling down my cheeks.

He mouthed to me that he loved me, I didn't know what to do. I don't know if I love him. I just shut my window, I cracked it open and I could see him waking away.

"It will be ok." My Aunt assures me.

"I know."

It's been a week and I've talked to the boy's once. We had Taylor cremated and shipped to my Aunt and I.

"When am I starting school?" I ask my Aunt, we decided to have me live here to help out with the girls, and so I wouldn't be homeless.

I dyed my hair back to brown just like I promised Hayes but I have a streak of blonde. It reminds me of Taylor.

"Next week." She tells me.

"Can I go shopping?" I ask. We did get some clothes so I wouldn't have to wear my Aunts.

"We just went yesterday."

"Yah but I still need combat boots and a floral skater skirt."

"Ok, here." She hands me forty dollars and I get onto my penny board.

"CC?"

"Yah?"

"The boys want to know if you want your clothes shipped out to them."

"Nah, just tell them to send me my toiletries."

I ride down to the mall and head in, I put my penny board on my bag rapped up in my jacket. I walk into Tilly's and I bump into someone.

"Hey watch it." I say.

"I'm so sorry, here let me help you." It was a boy, he was taller with brown hair and grey-blue eyes, he had a small nose piercing and was wearing a v-neck and some khaki pants.

"Nice board." He hands me my pink board,

"Thanks."

"I'm Rickey."

"CC."

"Do you need a shopping parter?" He asks me with a smile, hey a friend. I'm not going to turn that down.

"I would love a shopping partner."

I ended up getting my combat boots and skater skirt then we decided to eat.

"Pizza?"

"Sure." He takes my hand which surprised me and we ate our lunch.

I told him some of the backstory but I left out the crazy dad and my goth stage.

"I think it's cool that your staying with your Aunt."

"Thanks."

"Here let me give you my number and we could hang out sometime and I could introduce you to some people before school starts."

We exchanged numbers and it was nice. It was nice to meet someone normal.

When I got home I did my chores which consisted of taking out the trash, doing the dishes, help the twins (Lily and Lizzy) with their homework because they started today, and clean my room.

My Aunt and I were in dining room eating and I decided to share my shopping trip.

"So I met a guy today that goes to my school."

"That's nice."

"His name is Rickey Collins." (Not Rickey Dillion)

"Oh I know his mother, he's a very nice boy."

"Yah, we ate lunch together."

"Good, it's nice to know that your making friends, oh the boys were wondering if they could visit."

"Why?"

"Just to visit, you haven't seen them in a week."

"Maybe I just want to move on from my life." I say a little frustrated.

"Well maybe they don't want to you to move on from theirs." She snaps back.

"Whatever, two days max."

"Good."

I finish my dinner and go to my room and read, my life is like Mia's from If I Stay she doesn't know if she should stay with her family in heaven, like me and the boys. Or if she should stay on Earth and continue her life, like me and my Aunt.

Why does everything have to be so complicated.
