Communication - Hayley Williams

Tea party - chapter 8.

„Here they are" I heard Zac yell when we finally reached the buses.

As we got closer Hayley let go of my hand. I already missed her touch.

„Where were you guys? We were so worried. I called you like a million times" Taylor asked Hayley.

Hayley just shrugged.

„Sorry I didn't notice. We were just talking, nothing bad happened" she reassured T as we walked into the bus.

„Well I'm glad you two are okay. We were just worried that's all. Next time I'm just gonna call Christie. You suck at answering you phone" Tay rambled at a joking manner.

„You don't even have my number" I chuckled.

„That's besides my point. But you should give it to me. For you know.. safety reasons" he added as he scratched his neck.

I laughed and put my hand out for his phone. After I pushed some numbers I handed it back.

„Here you go" I said with a smile.

He quickly called me so I could save his number as well.

„So now I'm going to leak your number to hungry 12 years olds" I said with a chuckle.

Zac bursted out laughing at my joke.

„So he has your number but I don't?" Hayley asked with fake disappointment in her voice.

„You want your number to be leaked too?" I asked and she playfully pushed me.

My hand shot up to my back and I frowned a little bit.

Hayley momentarily froze as she analyzed my face.

„Sorry I-" she started apologizing but I just shook my head.

„Nothing happened" I said as I finally sat down to my bed.

„Soo can I have you number?" She asked quietly as she sat down to her bed.

I chuckled at her eagerness and I just put my hand out for her phone. She handed it to me and I typed in my number. I named my contact as „Kriszti" with a smiley next to it.

„Is this how you actually write your name?" She asked curiously.

„Yup. That's the hungarian pronunciation" I said smiling.

I waited for her to call me but she didn't.

„Aren't you gonna call me?" I asked confused.

„Well you didn't say you wanted my number" she trailed off, teasing.

„Of course I do" I said with a honest smile. „But if you don't want to share it that's fine too. In a couple of days I'm gonna be at the other side of the globe" I said frowning.

She furrowed her eyebrows and looked lost in thought. Then I felt my phone buzzing. She was calling me.

She gave me a reassuring smile. I saved her contact as Hayley with a smiley next to it.

„You wanna go shower first?" She asked after a couple of minutes.

„yup. Thanks" I said as I borrowed some clothes from her.

As I finished with showering I realized that now my make up is ruined. As I looked in the mirror I saw the bruises again.

Well, today was an eventful day. I cut myself, went on a hike and confessed everything about my past to Hayley. She broke down one of my biggest walls.

After I got ready to go to bed, I stepped out of the bathroom.

We exchanged a look with Hayley, as she realized that my make up was gone. She gave me a tight lipped grimace as I got closer to her. I sat down to my bed.
