Hayes lets go of my hand to cradle my face. "Hey what's wrong? You look like you want to cry."
"I love you," I admit on an exhale.
A single tear manages to escape as the emotions ease as the weight of the words are no longer sitting in my chest. Hayes' gaze softens as his thumb slowly strokes my cheek.
"So why are you crying?"
"Because it's scary," I whisper to him.
Hayes leans his forehead against mine. "You don't have to scared, baby. I've loved you since the moment I saw you. Every time I've held you, every time I've kissed you, every time I've looked at you, I've wanted to tell you just how in love with you I am."
We all have that one crush that we can never get over. We want to move on, but we can't. We always go back to that person. Breckyn has wanted to get over her crush on Scott, and when Hayes Grier, the new guy, comes into her life, everything changes.
For the bad or for the good? Will Breckyn be able to move on or will she be left broken? Can she set aside her own fears or will they come crashing down on her?
