Love/Hate

Hayden's P.O.V.

*Ring**Ring*

I opened my eyes and looked at the ceiling. I took my phone out my jacket pocket and answered. "Hello?"

"Hayden, it's Harry. I was just calling to check to see if you made it home alright?"

"Yeah." I sat and stretched hitting something. I slowly turned and saw Niall lying next to me asleep. What the fuck?!! I got up and walked over to the other side of the room.

"Great, I wanted to stop by later and take you out."

"Um....sure."

"Awesome, see you later."

"Okay." He hung and I just stared at Niall. What the fuck is doing here in my room AND in my bed. I walked to the bed and put the phone on the nightstand. I poked him on cheek repeatedly to see if he was awake by any chance. He swatted my finger away and rolled over. "Wake up, Horan."

He turned over and looked at me, "I'm awake now." He got up and ran his fingers through his messed up hair.

"What are doing in my room?"

"You asked me to stay last night."

I tried to remember last night, but everything was blurry. I looked at him and started pacing. "No. No. I wouldn't do that."

"You were wasted and I'm surprised you're fine."

"Yeah, I've learned how to handle pain. That's besides the point why did I ask you to stay?"

"I don't know." I walked over to him about to say something, but no words came out. I walked away from him and started biting my nails. "That's not all you said."

I looked at him confused and he continued talking, "You said 'I was the best boyfriend, ever'." I started biting harder and he walked over to me. He removed my hand out of my mouth and held it in your hand. "I'm going to admit this to you. I've always liked you since the first day you arrived in class."

I took my hand from his and sat down in my make-up chair. I looked at the ground and tears started building up. I blinked them back and looked at him, "Why didn't you wait for my answer? Why did start dating Ashleigh? Why didn't you tell me this before I started dating Harry? Why did wait until the worst time to tell me this when you had many opportunities?"

I got up and walked over to the window. "Get out." He walked over to me and tried to touch my hand, but I moved away from him. "Don't." He climbed out the window and went over to his house. I slammed the window shut and closed the blinds not wanting to see him.

I walked into the bathroom and sat on the top of the toilet. GOSH!! Why did he make things more complicated? I got up and walked back into the room. I grabbed my phone and purse off the nightstand and walked out the room.

I walked down the stairs into the kitchen and saw a note on the counter:

Hayden,

Since you got in late last night I decided to let you sleep, so your father took the twins and I out for breakfast. We'll be back in a few hours.

-Mom:)

I put the note back on the counter and grabbed mom's car keys off the hook. I walked out of the kitchen and walked out the front door. I walked over to her car and got in. I turned on the engine and pulled out of the driveway. I drove off and headed into town.

*Skip Car Ride*

I parked on the curb and got out. I closed the door and walked around to the sidewalk. I started walking past places I didn't even know what they are. I came across a tattoo/piercings parlor and I decided to check it out.

I walked in and went up to the front desk. I rang the bell twice and a girl came out the back. "What can I help you with?"

"I'm wanted to get a tattoo and a piercing."

"Okay, follow me." I followed her to back and she took me into a room. She took out a book and handed it to me. "Pick what you want."

"Okay." I flipped through the book and went with this. I showed her and she smiled at me.

"Good choice. Sit down on the table." I took off my jacket and climbed on the table. "Where do you want it?"

"Arm, please."

"Okay." She took her tools out and started doing the tat. My phone started ringing and I took out of purse. I answered it as she sterilize the needle. "Hello?"

"It's me. I just wanted to apologize for earlier."

"Whatever." I hung up on him and put the phone back in my purse. She started doing the doing the tarot and I closed my eyes tightly until it was over.

*Fifteen over painful minutes later*

"Done." I opened my eyes and looked at my arm. I smiled to myself at how amazing it looked. She got up and looked at me, "Where do you want the pierce?"

"The side of my bottom lip."

"Okay." She sterilized another needle and walked over to me. She put the needle through my lip and it didn't even hurt. She put the ring in and grabbed a mirror off the shelf. She lifted it up in front of me and I have to say I look fucking awesome.

"It looks great."

"Okay." I hopped off the table and looked at my arm. I made the best decision of my life. I grabbed my purse off the table and paid her plus a generous tip. She smiled as she walked away counting the money "Have a great day."

I walked back to the front and out of the parlor. I walked back to my car when I spotted Harry across the street with some brunette. I froze where I was at deciding if I should go over there and say something. But who know, it might be his sister. I walked over to my car and got in. I started the car and drove off to my house.

*Skip Car Ride*

I got home and they were still out. I parked the car and hopped out. I walked up the sidewalk to the front door and opened the door, that I accidentally left unlocked. I closed the door and made my way upstairs to my room. I closed the door and walked over to the bed. I sat down and just stared into space.

I looked down at myself and decided to change out this. I got up and walked over to the closet. I took this out and changed out of what I had on last night.

I heard a car pull up in the driveway and I knew the family has returned. I walked out the room and rushed downstairs in the kitchen to act like I just woke up. The door opened and I heard Jay's beautiful yet high-pitched voice. She walked into the kitchen and looked at me, "Hayd- WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?!!"

I smiled as she stood there frozen in place. Mom, Dad, and Jamie walked into kitchen to see what happened. They caught a glimpse of my lip and they stood frozen in their place, too. "What's wrong?"

"Hayden, what did you do to your lip?"

"Isn't it obvious, I got it pierced." I got and walked over to them. I took off the hoodie and left up my sleeve. "I also got that."

Jay touched it and looked at me,"Why?"

I looked at her and smiled, "Because little one, I just felt like getting one. Also, I remembered Mom saying I could get one once I'm eighteen.....and here we are." I put my sleeve back down and put my hoodie back on.

The doorbell rang and I left the kitchen to answer it. Harry was standing there with his hands in his pockets looking at his the ground. He looked up and saw my lip. Here pointed to it and I put my hand up, "Not now."

"Okay, you ready to go?"

"Yeah." I rushed back upstairs and grabbed my phone out my purse and ran back downstairs. "Alright, let's go."

I closed the door and we walked down the walkway to his car. He opened the door for me and I got in. He rushed around to his side and got in. He started the car and drove off.

*Skip Car Ride*

We got to some place and he stopped the car. He got out and I climbed out, too. I closed the door and looked at him, "What are we doing here?"

"You'll see." He took my hand and we walked inside. It was dark and cold like ice. I could see my breathe everything I breathed through my mouth. He opened another door and we walked into an ice cream parlor.

"Why are we here?"

"For ice creamy goodness. This is the best ice cream parlor in town, no if's and's or but's."

"Okay."

He walked up to the counter and an old man appeared from the back. "Nick!!"

He turned around and smiled when he saw Harry, "Harry." He looked at me and smiled, "Who is this lovely young lady?"

"Hayden Mitchell, my girlfriend."

He looked at him weirdly as if he didn't believe that. "But I thought-," He shook it off and looked at me. "What would you like?"

"Um, chocolate on a sugar cone, please."

"Coming up." He walked away and started preparing it. I turned to Harry and he pulled me away from Nick.

"Why did he look at you like that after you introduced me as your girlfriend?"

"I honestly don't know."

He walked back over to Nick and I looked at him. If he's lying someone is going to get punched in the nuts. I walked over to them and he handed me my ice cream. "Thank you." I took a bite of it and I feel in love. "This is good."

"I know."

I continued eating and the same girl from earlier came in. She walked over and ordered a lemonade. She looked at Harry and smiled, "Hi, Harry."

"Hi." I looked back and forth between them seeing both of their reactions. He was looking at Nick, who was looking at him, and the girl looking at Harry.

"Is there something going on that I don't know about?"

"No."

They all looked back and forth between each other and it's beginning to creep me out. I finished eating the ice cream and the cone and sat down at a empty table looking at them.

If shit is going to go down I want to be there.
