So, instead of making a new chapter, I'll be re-writing the last chapter, but in Hayden's Point Of View.
-----------------------------------
"So, how are you and Jake?" I asked as Lauren and I just walked around. "We're great. And he didn't freak out when I told him what happened." She added on after thought and I nodded, "Of course he wouldn't. That guy knows what it's like to kill someone." I chuckled and she furrowed her eyebrows, "He didn't do it on purpose."
"I know." I told her as we turned the corner to go to the small park that I had discovered about a month ago. We had just walked through the entrance when we spotted Hailey and Isaiah, talking and laughing.
"Hey, isn't that your girlfriend?" Lauren asked and I gave her a flat look. She held her hand up in mock surrender as I stuffed my hands in my pocket and Hail turned around to look at us. She then turned back around and shook her head at Isaiah as they talked.
Isaiah then started laughing and Hailey rushed off her seat on the picnic table, going to sit down next to Isaiah, reading something off his phone. She then swiped it out of his hands and tapped out a message before plopping it back into Isaiah's hands.
Isaiah said something to Hailey and she grinned, hitting his shoulder and I could see that he was trying to keep in his laughter and Hailey rolled her eyes before going on her phone.
"Do you wanna go talk to them?" Lauren asked me and I shook my head, "No, it's okay." I told her but she groaned and looked at me, "She's your girlfriend. You're very first girlfriend in your whole eighteen years of existence. Let's just go."
I looked back over and saw Hailey writing something down on a little notebook before handing it back to her friend, and I watched as his eyes skimmed over it as his head lay on her shoulder.
"Laur, they look like they're talking about something serious, let's just leave." I told her but my cousin decided to be stubborn and grab my arm, dragging me over to where my girlfriend and her friend were sat. "Hey guys!" Lauren chirped and Isaiah quickly closed the notebook and I watched as Hail took it from him, holding it in her hand and tucking her hand in her jacket pocket.
"Hi." they both said in perfect harmony, smiling up at me and Lauren. "So, what were y'all doing?" Lauren and Isaiah shook his head, "Nothing much, just talking." Hail nodded, backing his story up. Lauren opened her mouth again but Hail's phone rang and she instantly answered it, "Ice?"
Hailey closed er eyes and sighed before leaning her head on Isaiah's shoulder. "When?" she asked, before speaking again. "We'll be there."
"An hour." she then murmured and Isaiah groaned, "Anyway, I know that you guys just came but we've got to go." He quickly rushed out, standing up and pulling my girlfriend up with him.
"Where are you going?" Lauren asked, tilting her head to the side a bit and Hailey looked at Isaiah, "Somewhere." He smirked before leaning down and grabbing his pen before tightening his hold on my girlfriend's hand and running out of the park. "Bye!" she yelled behind to us before continuing to run.
"Let's go." Lauren grinned before taking off after their truck. "Wha-? Lauren! Lauren, leave it!" I yelled after her. I swear, she was so goddamn stubborn. I quickly took off, catching up with my cousin in no time and we both followed at a safe distance after the truck.
When they finally stopped, I noticed that they were at a hospital. "Lauren, let's just go. We're invading their privacy." I muttered but she shook her head and grabbed my hand, pulling me through the front doors. She put on a sad face and we got to the elevator just as it closed.
"Floor two." Lauren noted before we located the stairs and ran up them. I had a really bad feeling about this. But, when Lauren had her mind set on something, you just couldn't stop her.
I slightly looked through the glass in the window and saw the two lying down next to a little girl, a very beautiful little girl may I add.
She had long brown hair that flowed just down past her shoulders. Her skin was also tan, although I doubted that she was healthy. Lauren and I stood outside the door for a few seconds and I heard singing coming from inside.
I turned away from the door, "C'mon Lauren." I sighed, putting my hand around her upper arm and trying to drag her away.
The door suddenly opened and we both turned back, only to come face to face with Isaiah and Hailey.
Oh damn.
Hailey's eyes widened and Isaiah instantly got angry. "How dare you? How dare you follow us?" He asked and Lauren stuttered and Hailey shook her head, opening back the door and sticking her head back in.
"How did you even get here so fast?" He asked and since Lauren wasn't going to answer I inwardly groaned, "We used to take track." I told him and he shook his head. "I can't believe you! You're here one day, and you've already caused trouble!" Isaiah spoke to Lauren and I stepped in.
"Hey, don't talk to her like that."
"I'll talk to her any damn way I wanna talk to her." He shot back and Lauren's eyes turned to slits, "Don't you dare talk to Hayden like that." She put her hands on her hips. "Oh please. Coming from you--"
"Lo!" Hailey called him and he instantly forgot what he was going to say. "It's not worth it." She muttered to him and he licked his lips. "Just gonna let someone else walk all over you, huh?" He asked and Hailey rolled her eyes just as I was about to open my mouth but Lauren put a hand on my arm, shaking her head.
"We need to go." Hail told him and he sighed, nodding and shot daggers to us before following Hail to the elevator while we followed behind them. We all got into the elevator and I noticed Hail lean her back against Isaiah's chest, eyes fluttering close.
"Go, babe." Isaiah muttered when the doors opened and she obeyed. "Will she still--" I faintly heard Hailey ask the woman at the front desk as we all walked past her.
Just as we were heading out the door, Hailey hurried to us. "She's still coming." she informed Isaiah and he nodded before checking his phone. "We've got twenty minutes. Wanna come back to mine?" He asked and she hummed and he bumped his shoulder with hers and I suddenly felt upset and guilty. "You're actually thinking about it?!" He asked, and she chuckled, "I'm joking! Of course I wanna go to yours."
"Besides, you're my ride." I heard her mutter and a slight smile showed on my face. "What did you just say?" Isaiah quickly asked and she shook my head furiously, "Nothing. I said nothing." He just shook his head slightly, before bending down, grabbing my girlfriend's bare legs, lifting her up and slinging her over his shoulder as he continued to walk to his truck. She held the same small notebook from earlier tightly in one hand as she pounded on his back, "If! Put me down." She whined and then I heard a smack as Hailey squealed and wriggled around in his arms.
Did he just?
Lauren and I then watched as he sat her down in his car and put his mouth on her neck and sucked and bit on one spot, leaving a hickey. "Floyd." Hailey whined when he was finished, "Alexander." He mocked as he closed the door, going to his side.
And as they left, I swear my heart broke into a million pieces.
And it was all my fault. I didn't have to follow Lauren, I could've just left her go by herself. But for some reason, I also wanted to see where they were going. Was that wrong?
"I'm sorry, Hayden, it's my fault. I should've listened to you." Lauren muttered, wrapping her arms around my waist, comforting me as tears flew down my face without my permission.
