Hello Again

Chapter 6

    Jake POV:

    We walked down the busy street, Hailey didn't pay any sort of attention towards me. We continued to walk down the streets in silence.
    Just as we arrived at the bus station, Hailey unexpectedly spoked up. "Jake, want to go shopping later?"
    I looked at her as she grinned slightly. "Um... Why?" I asked, sounding slightly rude.
    Hailey winced slightly but still managed to hold onto her smile. "What? Don't you still need to buy some equipment for your studio setup?"
    My eyes widened. I backed off slightly stunned. "How did you know?"
    Hailey sat onto the bench and crossed her leg. "You had a checkup-list hanging in your workshop." She replied while she adjusted her scarf.
    "When did I permit you to-"
    Then the bus arrived, Hailey stood up and smiled at me. "Come on Jake, the bus is here." She told me as the cold wind blew her hair.
    "Hailey-"
    "I'm fine," she responded. Her hands trembled, she was shivering. "Come on, lets-"
    Before I realized, I put my sweater around Hailey. She looked at me, slightly confused. "You don't want to catch a cold do you, princess?" I asked in a flirting tone.
    Hailey couldn't help but smile again. She grabbed my hand, "Come on Monkey head. I'm your kidnapper for today."
    I grinned and kissed her on the forehead. "J-Jake-" Hailey spoke up, I smiled and looked down at her.
    Her cheeks were blood red, she glared at me as she bit her lips. "Why did you-"
    "Thank you," she looked at me confused.
    "UGH! Nevermind, come on. The bus is going to leave soon." She demanded as her face turned redder than the moment before.
    "Ok-" She grabbed my hand and pulled me into the bus. Now we were on our way to the doctor's office.
    Just before we reached our seat, I spoke loudly. "Hailey I dipped the window seat."
    Hailey glared at me, "How childish are you?" She asked.
    I sat at the window seat and grinned at her as she sat next to me. "I'm always childish, my lady. The way you smile, that cute laugh. Each of those things made my feelings for you to grow more and more with each passing day. You see me as a friend, but I want us to be something more. So what do you say?" I ended my sentence by blowing a kiss toward Hailey.
    She looked at me and glared into my soul. I felt like I was about to be murder. "Jake, do you need me to slap the living out of you?" Hailey asked innocently as she lifted her fist.
    "I think I'm good-" I immediately responded as I laughed nervously.
    After nearly getting beaten up by Hailey. The ride was peaceful, I looked out the window and admired the busy city.     It was a Friday, the day we won the band competition. I always celebrated with Sean and Milly. But I guessed I couldn't today, I watched as the roads started to be covered in snow.

    Hailey POV:

    Did Jake just try to confess his feelings for me? I wanted to accept it, but it's too early for this. I took a deep breath and tried to forget about what just happened, I went on my phone to see if Zander had texted back yet.
    "Hey Zander, feeling better?" I sent a text to Zander.
    He doesn't respond. I sighed and decided to listen to some music. I grabbed my earbuds out of my pocket. I sat backward and started to play my favorite song, I slowly closed my eyes. I never thought it would have happened today, would the reader be upset?

    Zander POV:

    I exited the bathroom with tissues in my nose. I couldn't believe I had a nosebleed.
    I looked around, I was home alone. I sighed and scratched my head, "Where should I start?"
    I explored the apartment, finally, I found a closet with all the cleaning supplies. I grabbed a bucket and a mop. "I should just marry Jake and become his maid.." I muttered as I started to clean the living room.
    "Brrrr," I peeked up from the floor. My phone was vibrating, I stood up and saw Hailey's text. I couldn't help but smile slightly. I texted back and placed my phone down.
    "Now... where is the remote controller.." I mumbled as I looked around the couch. "AHHA!" I lifted the remote control and made it look like I found gold.
    I turned the television on and switched it to the news channel. I started to clean again. Today wasn't going to be a great day. I should have known.

    ~Missing Memories~
    Jake''s POV:

    "We're graduating!" I shouted as I hugged Hailey. "Princess, tell me I'm not dreaming!"
    Hailey laughed slightly, "No. this isn't a dream," she said. "Jake it's happening, we're graduating."
    I looked over Hailey's shoulder, Sean and Daisy were holding hands. I felt anger within me. But I stopped myself, even if I had a crush on Daisy for a long time. I should be happy she has a boyfriend like Sean.
    "Jake?" Hailey spoke up.
    Since I have this wonderful lady as my girlfriend. "Yes, Princess?"
    "Let's go shopping later," Hailey suggested.
    "Sure we can," I responded with a delightful smile.
