Hailey's P.O.V

I couldn't sleep. I tried and tried but sleep didn't come. I know where this is coming from. Guilt. I feel bad. I know that Hayden is okay and racing is safe but still something bad can always happen. I got up from my bed and looked my phone. It's 7:42. So I had tried to sleep almost three hours. I put my clothes on because I knew that I wouldn't sleep anyways. I walked to our gym. If I can't sleep then I can train. I was doing my exercise when I heard voice behind me: "You couldn't sleep?" I turned around and I saw my boyfriend.

Ace's P.O.V

I woke up at 8:30. Rest of the gang is going to sleep at least at noon so I figured out that I should go to the gym. Hailey had given us permission to use those but I think I'm only one who actually go there. I was tired but I can catch up with my sleeping rhythm in the evening. I put my training clothes and went to downstairs. "Morning miss Eerika", I said when I walked to the kitchen to get a water bottle. "Morning Ace! Did you sleep well?" she said. "Well as you can get from 3 and half hours of sleep. I just fill up my water bottle and go to gym before breakfast if that is ok." I said to the older woman. After me and Hailey became a couple and after she gave me the threat talk, we have got along well. "Of course it's ok. Do you what time would others wake up?" she asked. "Not before the noon", I said chuckling. "So I make breakfast only to you and Hailey"; she said and turned around to make something. "Wait, Hailey is awake?" I asked. I thought Hailey would sleep longer than I. "I don't think she ever went to sleep", she said, "She have been in a gym for an hour. If you would be nice to get her to breakfast after your training session." No I would get her to stop before I even start training.

I went to the gym and I see her. She was middle of her exercise. I can see that she has been here for an hour. She is sweaty and I can hear her heaving. She looks hot. I have never seen her in her training gear and I can say that now I'm not surprised why she can beat most of the guys in the gym class. She has impressive muscles and even more I can understand why she hide them in school. All guys would run after her. I have to admit, I am tempted to do something she didn't approve right now but I have to keep it to my self. "You couldn't sleep?" I asked. She turned around and she looked chocked. "No, I just came here"; she tried to lie. "Bebe, I know when you're lying besides Eerika already busted you so I know that you haven't slept",I said hand crossed over my chest. I see her lowing her head but I saw a tear coming from her eye. When Helen turned out to be Hailey I saw big difference between them. Helen never showed emotions but Hailey does when there is something really great or really bad. She still doesn't show them for no reason. I went to hug her. "So what's wrong?" I asked. It felt nice to have her in my arms in vulnerable state. Those are rare and it makes me feel that she trust me. She didn't get words out of her mouth. "Is it because the race?" I asked. She just nodded. "Is this about your fight with your brother?" she again nodded, still crying. I knew it. I saw haunted look on her face when the crash happened. She was scared. "Have you tried to call to your brother?" and she shook her head. So it's guilt. I put my right hand under her chin and I gently raised her head so I can look straight into her eyes. "Sweetheart, it's all right to feel bad after a fight but you shouldn't jut leave it after that. Now go to the shower and then call your brother. I bet he feels as bad as you", I said to her. She really must feel bad because she went to the shower. I had to strain my self to go after her. Gosh what is wrong with me. I thought I was over my obsession to her.

Hailey came from shower after I had done my exercise. I have no idea why she had took so long but then again, I train only half an hour on Sundays. She walked in normal clothes. "Did you call him?" I asked. "I will call him when you are ready. We use google meet or zoom to call each other", she answered. Why she needs me to be there but maybe she needs me for emotional backup. "But before that we are going to eat", I said.

When we had eaten we went to upstairs to Hailey's room. Rest of the guys haven't woken up yet. She went to her laptop, opened it and started to search something. I see that she had opened google meet when she put the laptop on the table. It "ringed" few times and then older Haddock showed to the screen. "Hailey?" Hayden asked. "Brother, I'm sorry!" Hailey said, "It was immature from my side to just yell at you as soon as I saw you." "Hailey, I'm sorry too. I was just shocked how you have changed and reacted badly because of it. And Ace, was it, I apologize for criticizing you the moment I met you"; Hayden said. "I understand. I have little sister of my own. I know that big brother might be overprotective", I said. That was true. I probably would have acted the same. After that I left so I didn't interrupt the siblings. It's better that they figure things out themselves. But I think that Hailey will be in much better mood after this apology.

An: I have literally made Ace to be what I consider as a perfect boyfriend. I regret nothing.

Peace out and Stay safe
