Sugar & Spice

Thanks

Okay it's been a week almost and Chris hasn't been here sense last time. I scared him off. Well no I didn't because mom went out on dates with him. He'd come to pick her up not saying a single word to me. What the heck? Yeah I get it that I'm stubborn but really!
So like I was saying today mom and Chris were going on another date. How fun! I was left alone at home. I changed into a red t-shirt that said coca cola on it. I grabbed my black leather jacket. I decided on black jeans and red converse sneakers. I grabbed my book bag and went for a walk. It was dark out and creepy. I hate being outside at night but I need fresh air.

Chris's p.o.v
Me and Crystal arrived at her house but no sign of Hayley anywhere. I wonder where she was? Crystal's phone beeped and it was a text from Hayley.
Went on a walk- H
Why at night? I know she isn't my daughter but I would never let her go alone.
"I hope she's alright" her mom said staring at the text.
"Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow" I said giving Crystal a kiss on the cheek. Her cheeks turned crimson red.
"Okay you big meatball" she said smiling.
"Night" I said as I left the house. Where was Hayley at?

Hayley's p.o.v
Okay I'm never going on a walk at night again. I walked down the street and felt a strong arm grabbed my book bag. "Hey Hayley" said a familiar voice. I swear I'm gonna kill this kid. Meet Levi the one boy who I stay away from. He bullies me and my friends. And I can't even get away from him.
"What do you want you idiot?" I asked yanking my arm from his grasp.
"Don't call me idiot, babe" he said. I hate it when he calls me that! He calls every girl that!
"Don't call me babe" I said as I turned and started walking.
"Hey where are you going?" Levi asked grabbing my arm harshly.
"Home" I said, "you know I thought you had enough of me last year."
"Now I do" he said punching me in the jaw. I could taste the blood. Great! Thanks for the cut on my lip.
"Leave me alone" I said getting up and wiped the blood from my lip.
"I'm just getting started honey" he said with a smirk as he punched me again. What did I do to deserve this? He's bullied me sense 5th grade. Back before 5th we were best friends.
"HEY! LEAVE HER ALONE!" I heard a voice yell. I heard Levi yell something and run. I felt two strong arms help me up. Chris.
"Thanks" I said brushing off my self.
"You're welcome" Chris said, I could tell he was mad at Levi.
"I wish I had my pepper spray" I said spitting blood to the side.
"Come on let's get you home" Chris said as we walked back the other way. We entered the house and my mom flipped.
"What the heck?! Hayley you scared the living day lights out of me!" My mom said.
"I'm sorry" I said she hugged me tightly.
"I'm getting you a cloth" she said before walking to the bathroom. I turned to see Chris who was worried yet there was something in his eyes that made me want to yell... Pity.
"Uh thanks again for saving me" I said taking the blood in my mouth.
"You're welcome" Chris said shoving his hands into his pockets, "who was that kid?"
"Oh he bullies me at school... A lot" I said as my mom came back giving the cold cloth to me.
"Did Levi do this?" She asked as I wiped the blood from my lip.
"Yeah. He's the only one who punches me" I said as I felt my lip... It's swollen.
"Why don't you go up stairs and get some rest" my mom said I nodded and walked back up stairs not saying a word. I laid down in bed thinking about how Chris saved me from that idiot. Maybe I should give him and my mom a chance. Maybe I should try and be nice. Let him see the sugar side instead of spice. I need to properly introduce myself. Maybe this guy really likes my mom? Does he love her? How much? All these questions are giving me a headache! I felt my eyes grow heavy and soon everything went black... I love sleep.

Crystal's P.O.V
I watched as my baby girl walked up stairs yet with another injury from this Levi kid. If I wasn't so busy I would beat that kid. I let out a sigh and looked at Chris. He seemed worried. "Crystal? What did she mean about that this Levi kid was the only one that ever punched her?" Chris asked staring at me.
"Well this has happened before. Multiple times actually. I don't see why it's like they use to be friends then next thing you know she comes home with a cut lip and a black eye" I said feeling as tears stung my eyes.
"What if you guys move to LA with me? I know it's early but it's probably the best" Chris said. Many thoughts ran through my head. Would Hayley be mad? Would she be happy to leave Boston for a little bit? It was for the best. Right?
"That is a good idea but what if Hayley would get mad?" I asked looking into his blue eyes.
"You talk to her. I don't think she completely likes me yet" Chris said.
"Okay" I said as I began to walk up the stairs ready for the worst argument ever.

Hayley's P.O.V
I sat in my room and cleaned up a bit. I changed into a t-shirt and sweatpants and put my hair into a messy bun. There was a soft knock at my door and I opened it seeing my mother with the biggest grin. It was a stupid grin. Oh no. Something good happened. I swear if she's pregnant I'm running away.
"Hey sweetie" she said in a high pitched voice. Uh oh. What is it?
"Hi mom" I said like a normal person.
"Now please do not flip out and get mad" she said I nodded. No promises. "OkaysowearemovingtoLAwithChris."
"Slow down" I said she took a deep breath.
"We are moving to LA with Chris. And you do not have an opinion in this" she said I felt many emotions bubble up inside of me. Happiness, anger, upset. Wait... Happiness?
"When?" I asked trying to make sure my voice didn't stutter.
"Tomorrow" she said. I'm gonna puke. She left my room and walked back down stairs. I ran to the bathroom and threw up my frozen pizza I had earlier. Why? Why tomorrow? Why are we even moving? Why with Chris? Wait... Oh no. Please dear god I swear if I have a baby brother in 9 months I'm gonna die. I got up still a little wobbly after puking. I walked back to my room and laid on my bed feeling sick to my stomach. My life is over! I heard footsteps down the hall and knocking on my door.
"Come in" I said still feeling sick.
"I came to check on you" Chris said opening the door.
"Go away before I snap at you" I mumbled from my pillow.
"Hayley I know it's a big step. But just do it and make your mom happy" he said sitting down on my bed.
"I want her to be happy. But why?!" I asked raising my voice.
"I'm taking a huge step here Hayley. I want you to be happy. I want your mom to be happy. I know Boston is your home. It's mine too. But I couldn't stand to be away from your mother for months" he said. I'm gonna give him a chance if it makes my mom happy. I'll be happy.
"Fine. I'll give you a chance" I said as I looked up. He looks like my dad.
"Thank you Hayley. I'm sure you'll love LA. There's a lot of area to walk around" Chris said getting up. Well I guess I'll like LA. My life will get less boring. For once.
