Hayley's POV
Every bad thought I had shrivelled away. My parent's death, Jane, my friends leaving me. All forgotten.
Alex didn't react at first, probably overcome with shock. I would be too if I were him. Thankfully, after a few seconds his lips started to move against mine. Gaining confidence, I wrapped my arms around his neck. Believe it or not, I've never kissed anyone before, but have read enough fanfictions to know what to do. The kiss immediately deepened, and his arms snaked around my waist.
I couldn't help but smile into it. This was easily the best moment of my life. Alex tasted so sweet and light, yet addictive like nicotine. No; he's worse than nicotine.
Our little make out session was interrupted by a clearing of the throat. We turned around, embarrassed, to face a smug looking Tay Jardine.
"Oh-uh..I forgot- Tay, was round...uh" Alex stammered, struggling to explain the situation to me. Have to admit, he's cute as hell when he's nervous.
"Nah, it's okay Lex. Figured it was a matter of time before you two kissed and made up" the small girl shrugged off like it was nothing "So, we're cool now?" Tay asked, directed at me
"Yeah, sure! Well, if you want to be" I answered warily
"Then it looks like we're cool!" Tay giggled, me joining in since her laugh was infectious. Eventually Alex joined and we were all howling with laughter outside his front door. A woman with her son shot us a weird look as they passed, but we really couldn't care less.
Alex's POV
After a while, Tay decided to leave so Hayley and I could "talk things through" as Tay worded it. To be honest, I don't really want to. If only we could pretend nothing happened and continue our lives like the cute happy couple I wish we were. But no, in the real world you have to deal with these sorts of things in an adult way. And I can't just sit and wonder about why she said what she said yesterday. I need answers. I welcomed the petite girl inside. Hayley did seem nervous at first, then yet again so was I. We both took a seat in the living room, sitting opposite each other. Though this isn't really the time, I couldn't help but be captivated by Hayley's very existence. She just looked so innocent and sweet in the cold lighting, yet fierce with her bright orange hair.
"Alex! Alex! ALEX!" She yelled in my face whilst I daydreamed. Eventually I came back to my senses and responded with a simple 'what'. Smooth, very smooth.
"Are you okay?" Hayley asked, concerned, placing a hand on my shoulder.
"Yeah I'm fine. Just daydreaming, like usual" At least she calmed down a bit. There was an awkward silence which lasted for a few seconds, but felt like it dragged on for centuries.
"I'm sorry," Hayley blurted out, breaking the silence "I'm so fucking sorry, I can't even begin to express it," She buried her face in the palms of her hands and let out a long groan "All you've ever done is be kind and sweet to me and I go and stab you in the back! I'm a bad person. You have every reason to be pissed at me"
She's right. I could be mad. I could be raging with anger right now but I'm not. I should hate her but I don't; infatuation really is a bitch sometimes. But right now I don't care. Hayley could've murdered my family, burned down 5 cities and overthrown the government yet I couldn't have a single negative thought about the flame haired girl.
"You're right, I should be upset with you right now but I can't. Though you said what you said, all of your flaws are outweighed by the good things. Hayley, despite what I said, I couldn't never really hate you. You're way too cute for me to do that" I replied, with a small grin towards the end. Hayley didn't look up at first, so I panicked, thinking I'd said the wrong thing. After a second passed she removed her hands. I held my breath as the girl lifted her head, but the adorable smile on her face made everything seem okay, accompanied by a light blush splashed across her cheeks.
"Aw, you're cute too Alex" This time it was my turn to blush
"Thanks I guess," I couldn't help but smile "But seriously why did you say that? Were the others being horrible to you or something?"
"What? No no no, nothing like that! That Jane woman made me think you didn't care since you didn't visit, so I was upset about that. Then you guys came over with food and stuff, and ugh, I felt so bad!" She flung out her arms to emphasise her point. Everything was making sense now! Of course she wouldn't have said that with no reason, she's too kind to do that.
"I hope you can forgive me. Jane or no Jane, I shouldn't have said that, I'm such a bad person and oh my g--"
I cut off Hayley's rambling by pressing my lips against hers. She instantly melted into the kiss and smiled against me. I couldn't help but also smile. When we pulled away we stared into each other's eyes. I hadn't really noticed until now, but Hayley's eyes were truly gorgeous. Perfect green orbs outlined with hazel brown, shining brighter than anyone else's. I found myself falling for the fiery haired girl
"Uh, would you like to go on another date sometime soon?" I blurted out without thinking. Once again, I was afraid that I said the wrong thing, but Hayley's quick reply of "Yes!" calmed me down.
"Alex, I have a question"
"Ask away"
"I like you a lot, and I think you like me a lot too...so what are we? Or more like, what do you want us to be?" She asked, her eyes wide and hopeful. It was a good question, one that I already knew the answer to.
"Hayley Williams, I would love for you to be my girlfriend" I grinned in reply
"Alex William Gaskarth, I would love to be your girlfriend" She giggled back
"Wait, how do you know my middle name?" To my dismay, she just winked and tapped the side of her nose. If it were anyone else I'd find it annoying, but Hayley was way too cute for me to think that.
"Creep"
"Asshole"
"I hate you" I said jokingly
"Love you too!" Hayley laughed, wrapping her arms around me in some sort of squeeze/hug thing. I hugged her back with the same amount of force. At that moment I knew that nothing could ever go wrong again.

I have nothing to say really apart from Happy (Almost) Christmas and bye

She lives in a fairytale,
Somewhere too far for us to find
