When I'm Gone ( Nate Maloley AU)

Chapter Fifteen

Hayden's POV:

"Hayden Wilkinson," I hear my name being called.

I stand and walk to the stage. I my grandparents. Sammy's blood siblings join as well. I smile and stumble on stage. I'm handed my diploma. My hand shakes and I shake my Principal's hand.

I walk off stage and to my seat. As the last names were being called anticipation built through me. We then threw our hats into the air. Sammy comes and hugs me, and I see his birth mother come over.

"Samuel, you're spending time with me this weekend."

"No, I'm not, Mom. I don't want anything to do with you."

But she pulls Sam with her and I feel an arm around my waist. I see Nate, and before I can think be kisses me roughly. He slips his tongue into my mouth and I pull away.

"No more school", I whisper.

He smiles and pulls me from the school. We see Sam being taken with his mother. Jack and Jack come over and I'm lifted off the ground. I giggle as I'm set down.

"You guys headed off to LA?"

"Yeah, we have a couple friends down there, and they'd like it if you came", Nate says.

"T-there won't be enough room for me."

"They'll probably make you stay in the same room as Nate."

My face heats and the three laugh at me. Nate pulls me in his arms before we leave, so he can bring me home. Will my mother let me go? Like she'd care. We pull up to the mansion and Sammy's biological parents are standing in the lawn. Nate helps me out, and walk towards the house. We slip past quietly, and Sam looks at us.

"My mom's pissed that I'm leaving in two days. She's wanting custody of me."

"Your eighteen, Sammy. It can't work", I say, hugging him.

"Maria packed your clothes, Jack and Jack bought a house, so our furniture will be there. But we'll be staying with our friends," Sammy says.

I nod. We leave shortly after and make our way through the airport. Soon we board the plane, and leave this cold state and head to a new life. I sit next to Nate, with Jack G beside him. The other two are somewhere else.

My heart races. I've never been on a plane, and Nate can tell. He takes my hand and pulls me to him as we lift up and fly off.
