What I Wish You Knew | ꪜ

Chapter Nine

To Drayton and Parker,

09. I wish you knew how much I really loved nutella.

Hayley's POV

It was Sunday, the day that I would normally stay cooped up in my room binging a show on Netflix or going over to Landon's house to hang out with him. But today wasn't the day I'd step foot in his house, I don't know when that day would come but not soon.

This is the longest I've ever gone not speaking to Landon. Yeah, we've had arguments before but we always found a way around them in the matter of hours. But we were older now, this wasn't a petty fight, this was serious.

It now involved his girlfriend and me. He's sorta stuck in the middle but over and over again he's made his choice. God how can he be so blinded and gullible!?

The Landon I knew was wise, smart, on his toes but now it's like ever since he began dating Vanessa he became retarded, blinded by love or lust or whatever the hell they feel for each other. It's like he's never had a girlfriend before, he's dated girls longer than her and was never this way.

What the hell does Vanessa have on him!?

I'm betting my life she's blackmailing him.

That snake of a bit–

"Haylesss! Hayley. . .HAYLEY!"

"What!?"

"I'M GOING TO THE STORE DO YOU WANT TO TAG ALONE!"

"ARE YOU MENTAL!? OF COURSE I WANT TO TAG ALONE!" Drayton stands at the end of the foyer slipping on his shoes by the time I get downstairs. I turn towards him, frowning, "why you gotta be so loud!?" He unlocked the door and slipped out, motioning for me to follow behind.

"Because you're partly deaf."

"Whatever, I'm only thinking about getting snacks."

"With what money?" He snorted as we both slipped into the car. I buckled on my seatbelt and leaned back, a knowing smile climbing onto my face, "with yours of course, kind sir. For I am as broketh as thou could ever be with the mighty illness of laziness so I will always be broketh till thy death."

Shakespeare who?

I desperately needed snacks, especially my monthly dosage of Nutella. I'm suspecting Drayton has been dipping his fingers in places it does not belong since my Nutella finished faster than it was scheduled to. "You're thinking about what snacks you're gonna buy with my money right?"

I snapped my head towards him, feigning offence, "YA! Eotteohge gamhi naleul binanhae?!" He turned his attention away from the road for a split second and took this opportunity to lean across his seat, his hands reaching out towards me. "You know it's true!" He knocked me upside the head.

"One day you're gonna have to pay me back for all of this. One day you're gonna have to change my adult diapers after I shit myself and feed me that disgusting soup you like so much until I barf in your face." He exclaimed, laughing like a maniac as I scrunched up my face in disgust.

"Hell no, Dray!"

"You're definitely not putting me in a retirement center, Hayley. The horrors that goes on behind those doors is something I don't ever want to experience. . .especially on my dying bed."
