“Hayes.” I get closer and closer.
Hayes isn’t saying anything. He’s just playing in my hair. So, I lean in and kiss him.
He immediately backs away and lets go of me. He’s upset.
“Alex what the fuck.” He grabs his hair and wipes his lips. His voice is soft, but raspy.
“I followed my heart.” I say. He’s still close to me.
“You just fucking ruined everything.” Hayes says.
“Like last time?” I ask.
I knew he’d keep this a secret, just like last time, right? He has to.

The pit in my stomach deepens, my heart aches.
“Fuck this, I tried. I didn’t even want to get in the car with you.” I say. He finally looks at me.
“You drive me all the way up here, and what? We have history, what’d you think would happen?”
