Hayes's POV
Matt noticed me standing there, and as soon as we locked eyes they pulled apart.
"Hayes..." Juliet mumbled.
I walked over to them, and stood in between Juliet and Matt. Juliet seemed startled, but Matt smirked.
"Look who finally decided to show up." He said, and I pushed him to the ground. I got on top of him and punched him before Juliet broke the fight.
"Hayes! Can you go one second without hurting somebody?" She asked, and helped Matt up.
When he got back to his feet, he left without saying another word.
"You think everything is about me and him, don't you?" She asked me.
I looked at her dead in the eyes. They were filled with so much emotion it was almost unreadable.
"Answer me." She demanded.
"Yeah." I answered her.
"I know how mad you are. I know what I did was wrong, but I don't think you get it, do you? I DON'T WANT YOU HERE. I DON'T NEED YOU HERE. WHY DON'T YOU GET THAT?" She yelled, making it ten times harder for me to say what I'm about to say.
"You think that I came here for you? I came here for me. I need to say something for you to hear so that I can finally get on with my life. Juliet, you're everything to me. I don't get why you think you're nothing. I don't care if you think that you don't need me, or if you don't want me. But I'm always going to be part of your life, because no matter how hard I try I can't get you out, and I'm pretty sure it's the same for you." I caught my breath.
"So if you think for a second I'm going to leave your side, I won't. Because, Juliet, I'm everywhere. I'm everywhere, even if you like it or not. I care about you, and I love you...but I guess...I guess you don't love me back." I said.
She stared at me, and I could finally read her. Her expression was very confused, and angry. Her eyes were sad and shifting around every once and a while.
"I...I-I don't love you." She said, biting her lip.
"You're lying." I said, and she shook her head.
"Look me in the eye and tell me that you don't love me." I continued as I walked closer to her. I grabbed her arm and pulled her close to me.
I lifted her chin so that she could look at me, and her eyes were filling with tears.
"I. Don't. Love. You." She said, through her teeth, and tears were spilling down her cheeks.
She stared at me, through her tears, looking hurt, sad, but happy.
"There, I said it. I don't love you, Benjamin Hayes Grier. I don't! I hate how you are always immature and like to pull pranks on me, I hate how you like to pick fights, I hate how every single time I try to protect you and myself you think that you're doing it for the greater good. Well guess what? I don't love you. And if you think for one second that you love me, then you're wrong." She said.
"Wrong? How am I wrong?" I asked.
"You don't love me. Did you love me when you made that bet with Carter? Or..or when you were so worried about Lesley? Or when you cheated on me?" She huffed.
"I never cheated on you." I said.
"Really?" She said, taking out her phone and showing me a picture. "What's this?"
It was a picture of this girl that I've never seen before, and there was me, right next to the girl, with my hands all over her.
"I've never seen that girl before in my life. That's obviously photoshopped!" I yelled.
"Whatever." She rolled her eyes.
I turned and walked towards the door, as I was about to leave, I looked back at her.
"I loved you enough to save you from that bullet." I said, barley a whisper.
I left without saying goodbye.

Juliet's POV
Another sleepless night, another night wasted on arguing and fighting with Hayes over nothing.
Nothing.
There was nothing I could do, no words I could take back. I regret saying everything.
I toss and turned in my bed, and finally gave up. I checked the time on the digital clock, the red numbers blinking that it was almost three o'clock.
I pulled a pillow over my face, maybe that would help me sleep.
Or maybe it'll suffocate me to death.
I heard my usual ringtone, and grabbed my phone from my nightstand. I squinted to check who was calling, and it was Nash.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Juliet, I don't know if he wanted me to call you-"
"If who wanted you to call me?" I interrupted him.
"Hayes. He's in the hospital." He said.
I quickly put on my beat-up white converse and grabbed my penny board. I was in pajama shorts and a loose t-shirt, but hopefully the hospital wouldn't mind.
"Which hospital?" I asked.
"Boulevard and South. Hurry!" He said as he hung up.
I ran out the door, and skated down the street as fast as my legs could go.
When I finally made it to the hospital, I went straight to the waiting room, to find Cam, Bryant, the Jacks, and Aaron.
"Is he okay?" I asked, and they all looked up at me.
"He..all we know is that he was hyperventilating and he couldn't stop so we took him here." Cam said.
I sat next to Cam, and we all waited for the results together.
The doctor came in, and sighed.
"Hayes Grier's girlfriend?" He called, and we all stood up. He look confused at first.
"Are you all...uh..."
"I'm his girlfriend." I said.
"I regret to inform you, that Hayes has post-traumatic stress disorder."
