He's Not Dangerous {Hayes Grier Fanfic}

-20- Twinkling Bright Blue Eyes

Amber POV

On Wednesday morning, I'm allowed to leave the hospital. My friends (and sister) take me to IHOP to celebrate getting out of the hospital and out of a coma. Never again tylenol, never again.

I sit down next to Hunter and Reb at our long table and Hayes sits across from me. He averts his eyes whenever I glance his way and I know he's still upset.

Yesterday, when I awoke from the coma I knew who I wanted. The internal fight was over, I had decided I wanted Hunter back. We have so many great memories together and I know he's a great person. I told Hayes all of this, but I still want to keep our friendship. 

I order the banana foster french toast cause hey, I just woke up. Everyone's talking and enjoying LA now that there's no one in the hospital except for Hayes. He stares stonily at his red velvet pancakes. I didn't want to hurt him so bad, I just wanted Hunter.

"We should go to the beach." Cam suggests and agrees. We're in LA right. 

After IHOP, we head to the house to get our suits. I put on the bikini that I bought with Hayes and put a white crop top and jean shorts over it. Everyone changes and we head back out. 

The guys immediately head to the water and Olivia, Reb, Kate, and I set up our tanning stations. 

"This is heaven." Kate sighs and I agree. LA sure is better when you're not almost dead in a hospital. 

"Hey get in here!" Hunter yells.

"No!" I yell back throwing on my shades and laying down. 

I hear a shriek and see Nick has picked up Olivia and is taking her to the water. They're so cute together, I really hope she stays with him. And they get married. Even though she's 21 and he's 23.

Then I am picked up by someone and I shriek also. Hunter of course, slings me over his back and walks me to the ocean. I don't even protest, just throw my shades onto the towel. 

Kate and Reb are following and the water feels great.

"Nice suit." Hunter says grinning at me and I splash him. Hayes looks away and goes to hang with Reb and Cam. Will we ever get our friendship back?

We spend hours at the beach, and finally retreat back to the house when the sun starts to go down. Everyone's pretty tired after the long day so the rest of the gang heads up to their respected rooms. I stay downstairs and pop some pizza bagels in the oven. 

"Can you fix me some?" I hear behind me and I see Hayes peering at me standing at the counter. I add 4 more to the pan and put it back in.

"Thanks." I nod and he pushes a can of sprite across the counter to me. I smile and pop the tab. 

"I'm sorry Hayes." I say after a while of us just standing there waiting for the pizza bagels. 

He just shakes his head. "You don't have to apologize Amber. I know you guys have a lot of history." The oven dings and I take the bagels out. 

"So can we still be best friends fo eva?" Hayes asks when I hand him his plate. 

"I hope so." I give him a hug and we head to the family room to watch some bad tv. 

It feels like when we first hung out, watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians, while I was dating Hunter. Life is good.

Hayes POV

Amber and I are friends ago though I wish we could be more. That bastard just had to steal her back from me, right when I got her. At least we can hang out.
