That One Summer

Chapter 7

Natalie's pov
I turned around and saw Hayes. "Hayes what are you doing here?!"
He just stood there awkwardly scratching the back of his head "uh this was my place whenever I needed to think..I never knew anyone knew about it." He said very genuine and kindly. "I'll go if you want?" "No no please stay it was yours first, we can stay together it gets kinda lonely out here alone." I said almost like I was needy..but was I? No. I can't be I just met this boy and I can't get into another relationship right now. "The stars are beautiful aren't they?" He asked like it wasn't a hard question but honestly it was a very hard question to answer. "Yeah they remind me of my grandma, it's like she still with me but not. You get me?" I say not trying to turn thr moment into a sapy love story like in a movie. "Yeah. Yeah I do.." He said he got up and said we should be getting back I agreed and said goodbye to the stars. "We have a long day ahead of us ya' know, we have zip lining and water sports tomorrow! It's gonna be sweet!" I lightly laughed to myself and said "yeah sure...at least your not scared of highs!" Hayes seemed surprised by that because he stopped right in his tracks and looked at me "you Natalie are scared of heights?!"
"Yeah what's it to ya' " I said in a sarcastic tone but serious enough to tell him I wasn't kidding.
"Hey I always will catch you if you fall okay? Just remember that."
I felt my cheeks turn a color red that I haven't experienced before not even with jack. My ex. Hayes gave me this feeling that I can't explain. He turned around and stooped right in front of me and made me run into him again. "Natalie I think your amazing and funny and beautiful..." Just as I was gonna say something back Hayes dropped a major bomb. "But I have a girlfriend and she's coming to camp tomorrow and I don't want her to know the way I think about you okay because I don't want to hurt her."
I felt a tear run down my face as my heart broke into a million pieces all I could say was "yeah okay...I never really felt anything ether so...I have to go okay catch up with you later." I didn't even say bye I just walked away with tears rolling down my face. My makeup is probably all over the place and I don't care I just got my heart broken again but this time it feels 10x worst because I felt more than just sparks I felt fireworks. As I walked into the cabin I just sat on my bed and cried the rest of the girls walked in and saw me and just asked me a bunch of questions. "Who did this?" "What happened" "I'm gonna beat his ass" Anna and Georgi said in sink. H-ha-Hayes. Kaitlyn was mad and sad. I told her he said he had a girlfriend and he didn't want to hurt her. Kaitlyn was confused because she thought that girl had another boyfriend already.

Hayes Pov
When I saw natalie walk away I could see the tears and how hurt she was. I feel like a huge jerk but I can't hurt Samantha like this. When I was walking back I saw Ethan , Allan, Nathanel and Ken walking and talking with there girls..but I wanted to talk with Natalie. She made me feel different than what I feel with Sarah. I fell little sparks with Samantha but with natalie I feel MAJOR fireworks. I just don't know. Samantha's my everything but natalie is becoming my world with her beautiful brown eyes and glossy hair.
