Vanessa POV•

I walked to my locker to put my books away when Hayes comes waltzing up to me.

"Hello, my lady..."

"What do you want?" I turn closing my locker.

"You," he said laughing.

"I have tryouts for lacrosse, so if you don't mind I have to go..." I said walking away.

"So, do I!" he chirped.

"Kill me..." I whispered.

I walked onto the turf, taking a deep breath of fresh air. With my stick I head over to Karisma who was warming up on the field.

"Hey! I didn't know you did lax!" she said excitedly.

"Yup," I answered. We threw the ball back and forth getting used to the feeling of it. The coach blew her whistle and announced that we would be practicing with the boys. I groaned and Hayes smiled.

We were split up into teams an I was alone on my team with no one I knew except... Jack J. He looked at me and gave me a weak smile. I didn't return the favor.

After practice my mom came and picked me up.

"How was tryouts?" she said too enthusiastically.

"They were alright..." I said trying not to bring up the fact that Hayes is back.

"When do you find out if you made the team?" her questioning never stopped.

"I don't know..." she sucked in a deep breath and continued to stay silent. Once we were home Skylynn greeted us the front door.

"Vanessa!!! Guess what!!!" she screamed.

"What!" I said giving her a weak smile.

"Hayes is back and he's in your bedroom!" She was smiling from ear to ear. My mom clapped from behind me. My whole world was crumpling around me. I walked up to my room ready to throw a fight, but when I opened the door the figure standing in front of me wasn't Hayes. I reached out and touched him hoping this wasn't a dream.

=Plot Twist=

During the few chapters where Nash had died were all fake. You might wonder why I would create such an exotic lie, but I have a great explanation. At the time Hayes was going through many troubles in his life between school and Magcon he felt as if he couldn't take it anymore. So him and Nash decide to transform themselves so Hayes looks like Nash and Nash like Hayes. They did this because Nash wanted to protect Hayes privacy. Nash has been Hayes ever since the accident.

He turned and faced me. I was crying and hurt. He ha betrayed me. I hit and scratched him, but his body ne'er moved just like a wall it stood tall. Then he collapsed on my holding me tight. I missed these times.

"Nash..." I whispered.

"It's me Vanessa..."
