Change Me// Hayes Grier

Five.

Later that night, I start getting ready for hayes and i's "date". Molly and Laura helped me get ready before they left. Remember how my mom said they were leaving today? Well yeah.

Laura picked out an outfit for me. It was a crop top and skirt set with flowers on it. With sparkly navy pumps.

Molly did a gorgeous amount of makeup.

I thanked them and said goodbye before they left.

((The beginning picture is how I picture Brooklyn. But with longer hair. And that's the outfit I want her to wear but without the hat.))

I go in jacks room and see him laying on his bed.

"I'm ready." I smile.

"You look gorgeous." He says.

"Why Thank you." I say and twirl.

He grabs his keys since he's taking me and walks down the stairs.

I take one last look in the mirror. I never mentioned my bruises and scratches and scars on my face from my dad. It looks so ugly.

I get in the car and try to not let it bother me but I start to get really upset.

"Hey..whats wrong?" Jack asks.

"Jack. I'm ugly. No one likes girl with scars on her face. It's just so horrible looking." I say.

"Brooklyn! I think you're beautiful with or without the scratches and scars. And yes they do, I mean, you're going on a date for crying out loud." He says and I laugh a little.

"That's true, thanks jack." I say.

"You're welcome." He smiles.

"Mind if we pick up jack?" He asks as we pull in his driveway.

"No go ahead!" I say.

I hop in the back and jack gets in the car.

"Hey little buddy!" He says and gives me a high five.

"You smell incredible! You going On a date or somethin?" He laughs.

"She actually is! With hayes!" Jack tells him and he flips.

"AW HOW CUTE!" He says and I laugh.

"It's not really a big deal." I say.

"Just kidding its a huge deal! I'm so nervous what if i say the wrong thing or throw up or burp in front of him!" I exclaim.

"Woah chill there bud. You'll be fine just breathe." Johnson says. He's such a cutie.

"Thanks." I laugh.

We pull up to the restaurant and I speak up.

"I think I'm going to throw up." I joke.

"No You won't." Jack laughs.

"Bye guys I love you Guys." I say and get out of the car.

They laugh, "love you too!"

I walk up to him and he starts to look at me in a way, a good way.

"What?" I laugh.

"You look gorgeous." He says.

"Thanks." I smile.

"Here um, I got these for you." He says, handing me roses.

"Thanks so much!" I say.

"So shall we?" he asks, holding out his arm.

I giggle. "We shall!"

We go into the restaurant and get our table.

He stares at me. "Brooklyn Leigh I can't tell you how amazing you look tonight. " he smiles and I blush and look down, smiling.

"You're crazy, Grier." I say and look up.

"I'm serious." He says, just staring in my eyes.

Thank God the waitress came and asked for our order. We tell her then she leaves.

"So how are you liking it here so far?" He asks.

"I love it. So much I'm so blessed. My family is amazing and you guys are all just so good to me and I'm so thankful." I say.

"And I'm blessed because you came into my life." He says.

"Stop." I whisper, giggling and looking down as I blush again.

He takes his hand and lifts my chin to face him. "I'm serious." He says.

The waitress thankfully comes to hands us our drinks and he gives me a wink.

When she leaves I ask, "what do you like to do?"

"I like to make videos and play football." He says, "how about you?"

"Well I wouldn't really know." I say.

"Oh that's right, I'm sorry." He says and I smile.

"It's okay."

"I did see these girls at my adoption center who do cheer and that looks really fun." I say.

"You should try it! Why not?" He says.

"Yeah I will when I go to school In the fall." I smile.

"Oh yeah that's right you're going to the Omaha middle school?" He asks. ((OK IDK IF THERES AN OMAHA MIDDLE SCHOOL BUT ILL JUST PRETEND AND ALL THE BOYS LIVE THERE THIS STORY AND IDRK THE WEATHER THERE SO YEAH))

"Yeah! Is that where you go?" I ask.

"Yes!" He says.

"Okay thank goodness! I didn't want to be alone." I say and he laughs.

He grabs my hands, "don't worry, I'll never leave you." He says and I smile.

The waitress came at a good moment again and gives us our food.

"Thank you!" We say.

We then start eating.

"Hmm this is delicious." I say as I finish chewing.

"Oh my god this is sooo good." He says and we both laugh.

After we eat we sit and talk for a bit as he "hacks" my phone.

**********Hayes' POV********

I didn't 'hack' her phone, I put a tracker on it. Don't worry, I'm not stalking. I'm afraid. Afraid her dad would find her.

We leave the restaurant and we walk up to the park across the street.

We are just swinging on the swings and holding hands, looking at the kids having a fun time.

"Let's go for a walk." I say and take her hand and start walking.

We walk up a trail and I stop at the edge of the lake.

I turn and look at her, and she looks at me. We stare in each other's eyes.

"Brooklyn..I have to tell you something." I say and she nods.

"Okay.." she says.

"Brooklyn I..I love you." I say.

Just by one single look, I knew.
