Chapter 21:
I told goodbye to Hayes and we walked our separate ways. I walked through my front door.
"She's home." Groans Maggie. I ignore her and walk upstairs. I plop down on my bed and just lay there. Life sucks.
I stuff my face into my pillow and cry. It's not fair my parents treat me this way. I didn't ask to be treated this way. I didn't even do anything. My mom cares one minute then she doesn't the next.
These last few days have been tough on me. It sucked having to pretend like there was nothing wrong. My parents were complete assholes to me, I didn't talk to many people at school, Hayes doesn't understand, and cheer is just wearing me out.
Sometimes crying does a lot for me. It helps relieve stress, calm me down, and it just makes me feel better. I know that sounds bad, it just does. I know, people have a lot worse life than I do. I just don't feel wanted.
The only person I feel wanted by is Hayes. He always has me tied around his finger. He cares about me in a way no one else does, he looks at me like I'm the only girl in his life, he holds me like he never wants to let go, he shows me off like he's not afraid. I love that about him.
That night I finally stopped crying. I lay my head on my pillow and covered up in my blankets. I desperately wished Hayes were beside me. I drift off the sleep with Hayes on my mind.
