The Past Isn't the Past ~ a Hayes Grier fanfiction

First day of Doom grade

Mia's POV

I slammed my hand on my alarm clock for the 4th time.

It was 5:30 now, and time to get up and start my first day of 9th grade.

Oh joy!!!

I got up and turned on my straightener.

I heard my brother Matthew, who was 16, and is forever playing his stupid rock music. Even at 5 in the morning.

I banged on the wall.

"MATTTTT!!! TURN IT DOWN!!" I yelled.

I know my poor mom is trying to sleep but Matt gets on my nerves; yet I am closest to him.

There are five of us siblings. Let's take a second to acknowledge them all.

There's the smallest, Micheal. He's 1 & 1/2 and has deep chocolate brown hair. He's so adorable and still has his own little baby language.

The next is Maddie. She's 8 and probably the most annoying out of all of us. She has the most long luscious blonde curls I've ever seen. The rosiest cheeks and the beautiful blues eyes that just pop. She's going to be beautiful.

Just like my older sister Melissa is. Shes 18, a senior in high school, and drop dead gorgeous. Maddie is a copy of her in a younger, less developed body.

Matthew, who is 16, has dirty blonde, brownish hair. He's cute for a brother, but I've seen his ugly side too. He's got beautiful eyes though. He's famous on YouTube. He actually has been offered many deals to go on tours, but hasn't excepted any of the, yet.

Then there's me. 14, soon to be 15. I have dirty blonde hair (that now has highlights because of the sun) . I have a great pretty good tan, so I usually show off my legs. I've been told I was beautiful many times, but boys just weren't my thing. Yes, I am pretty developed, and boys let me know it, (Melissa said that doesn't change so get used to it) but I'm just not that kind of girl.

That's basically the Espinosa family.

When my siblings, my mom and I moved here, Melissa got a boyfriend the first day at our new schools in Virginia. They've been dating since then, three years. He's nice. His name is David and he is really cute. They're perfect for each other. He's taking her to senior prom, and secretly I think he's going to propose to her after the prom. That would be PERFECT!!

I've only had 2 boyfriends. They were both during 7th grade, into 8th grade with one of them. One of them a huge jerk. The other... well.

One was named Dillon Stewart. He was really cute, but a cheater. He cheated on me with Bethany Whiles, which I still hate to this day. Me and Bethany used to be best friends, but then she stole my boyfriend. Me and Dillon dated for 3 months of our 7th grade year. We stared dating in September when he was my partner for a history assignment. We dated until December, when he broke my heart the week before Christmas. (Amazing Christmas present, compliments of Bethany)

The other was Jake Lawson. He's hard to talk about. After Dillon's secret got out at a Christmas party, I ran out crying, devastated. My best friend, Jake, comes running out after me.....

Flashback : Jakes POV

I saw Mia crying. And running.

If Dillon had done something to her, he would be in for it.

He's so lucky to have an amazing girl like Mia while I'm stuck in the "friend zone", but of course THAT jerk would mess it up.

I'm lucky to even be her best friend, but he takes her for granted.

She's not only beautiful, but her personality is so bubbly and shy at the same time, which is SO CUTE!

I ran out after her.

"KitKat what's the matter?!" I asked sitting down beside her on the curb.

"Jake I'm not in the mood for nicknames." She said sniffling.

"I'm sorry Mia. What's the matter?" I asked, hoping she would open up.

"Well Jake, Dillon cheated on me with Bethany." she said plainly.

"Bethany Whiles?!" I was surprised. Bethany was UG-LY! But had a nice body and was a slut.

Still !! Who would give up MIA for HER?!

"I'm so sorry KitKat." I said, scooting towards her to give her a hug.

I could feel her shivering, so I took off my hoodie and pulled it over her without even asking if that was okay.

I knew it was.

She looked up at me, mascara running and all, still as beautiful as ever.

I wiped a tear from under her eye.

"Hey." I said, pushing up her chin and looking into her eyes. She looked into my eyes and I knew I had to open up. But I didn't know how.

"You're beautiful Mia. Please stop. He's not worth it. You deserve someone so much better." I said, scared of her response.

She kept looking my eyes, then leaned into a tight hug. I heard her sniffles quiet.

Everything was silent.

"Please date me." was all I said.

"Of course Jake." she said.

And we sat there on the curb for the rest of the night.

Finally, as more than best friends.
