i showed Hayden the texts. "annie, we have to go." He said worried. "i have to go. you go home, i will too, im taking the blame." i said getting up from the chair. He grabbed my arm. "no annie, you're not going alone, we're in this together." he said, following after me. "hayden, let me go by myself, your not going down for something i did." i walked away fast, but he ran after me. "hayden please!" i yelled. "annie, stop. im going with you." he said.

"im sorry Hay, this is all my fault." I looked down. "stop." he said. "look annie, whatever happens behind those doors, it'll be okay." he said gripping my hand tightly. I let go and hugged him.

we reached my front door, but before i could even ring the door bell, the door flew open, it was my dad. "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" He yelled really loudly. i stayed silent, and kenzie ran from downstairs. "mr.billy, this is all my fault." She said. "kenzie please dont." I said. "no mr.billy it's my fault." hayden said backing up kenzie. Then mommy came from upstairs. "HAYDEN?" She yelled. "ANNIE I TOLD YOU! STAY AWAY FROM HIM!" she yelled. "Mommy i-" She cut me off. "HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU? YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE FRIENDS ANYMORE!" she yelled. "i kn-" she cut me off again. "THATS IT! ANNIE, GIVE ME YOUR PHONE, YOU'RE GROUNDED FOR TWO MONTHS. I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND WHY YOU GUYS CANT FOLLOW MY RULES!" she screamed. "maybe because he's her best friend, and she's his best friend. they make each other happy. why dont you get that mommy?" caleb said coming from behind her. she looked at caleb in the eyes. "i dont want her to get hurt." she said, as tears came down. "billy take hayden, and kenzie home." Mommy said. "And kenzie, I don't want you around my daughter, you're a bad influence." she said. i looked at kenzie and ran to hug her. "this is all my fault." I whispered. "don't worry." She said. We both started to cry. "ill make sure you'll never see hayden again, annie. you dont need him, right now, or ever, so say goodbye, this is your last time you'll EVER see him." mommy said, as she ran upstairs with tears in her eyes.

i looked over to hayden, and he was crying. "this isn't the last time. i love you more than you'll ever know summerall." i said, as tears came out of my eyes. "and i love you, until the sun dies LeBlancy." he said, and we cried. i hugged kenzie tightly, and cried on her shoulder. "time to get going." daddy said. i hugged hayden like it was our last hug.

or maybe it was.
