Love/Hate

Hayden's P.O.V.

I woke up to a car pulling into the driveway. I got up and walked downstairs into the kitchen. I opened the fridge and took out a big croissant. The front door opened and I walked out of the kitchen. Jamie and Jay sat down on the couch and I looked to see if mom or dad brought them back. "Who brought you back?"

"Mom. She's said she'll be in in a minute."

"Oh." I walked over to the office room and logged onto the computer. The door slammed closed and I knew Mom was home. I slided the chair out of the room and scooted in to the living room. "Hey ma."

She ignored me and started yelling at them. "What is wrong with you two?" Jay was on her phone and Jamie was playing his game boy. She walked over and took it from them.

"What the heck?"

"You got into a fight on your first day back, care to explain?" She crossed her arms and looked at them.

Jay got up and looked at mom, "Some kids were picking on us, so we got into a fight."

"Are you serious?" She walked away and I could her the trail of her foot steps behind her. I scooted back into the office and continued doing what I was doing.

I click the bookmark to my favorite and watched it intensively. It came on and my insides did jumps. Jay knocked on the door and I paused the video. "Come in."

She came over and sat down next to me. "Can I tell you the truth?"

"Yeah."

She unrated into tears and I don't even know why. I pulled closer to me and rubbed her shoulder and whispered comforting in her ear. She uncovered her mouth and wiped her face. "These kids started picking on me to the point where I ran to the girl's bathroom and hid in the largest stall."

"Why we're they picking on you?"

"Because to them I'm 'fresh meat'."

"Do you want me to teach you how to stand up without fighting."

She sat up straight and looked at me. "Yes."

"Okay, I'll teach you Sunday."

She wrapped her around and gave me a hug. "Thank you."

I let go and looked at her, "Come on, let's have a girl time." I took her hand and led her up stairs to my room. We walked in and she sat down on my bed. She looked around and looked at everything.

"Nice room."

"Thanks...so tell me what you want to do."

"Can you do my hair?" She looked at me with those big beautiful brown eyes and I couldn't resist. I walked over and sat down next to her.

I started playing with her hair. "What do you want?" I looked at her and she seemed to be thinking.

"Anything, I guess."

"Alright." I got up and walked over to the bathroom and took out my curling iron and other materials I needed. I walked back over to her and she was looking at the window. I sat down behind her and plugged it into the wall. I started curling her hair by medium chunks. My phone vibrated and I continued curling her hair. "Can you get that?"

"Where is it?"

"Next to you." She looked next to her and picked it up. I put my hand out to get it from her, but she just turned the screen on and read it out loud.

"Hey Hayden, it's Harry. I thought about earlier and I moved past it, so if you like I'm still up for our date tonight." She turned off the screen and put it down. "Who's Harry."

I picked up and put it on my lap. "He's a friend of Niall's."

"Wait. Why are you going on date with Niall's friend instead of Niall?"

"Because I wanted to."

"Alright." She looked back out the window again.

"What are you looking at?"

"Niall. He's been home for a while with some girl, and they're.....kissing."

"What?" I stopped doing her hair and put it on the floor. I got up and walked over to the window. He was on his kissing Ashleigh. I opened the window and took a loose thin tree branch from the tree and threw it at his window. He stopped kissing her and looked at me. He walked over and opened the window.

"What?"

"Will you and Ashleigh stop sucking faces in front of my thirteen year old sister."

"Sure, but earlier was funny." He closed the window and closed the curtains. I closed the window and walked back to Jay. I sat down and continued curling her hair.

*Knock* *Knock*

"Come in." The door opened and mom came in. "What's up ma?"

"I was wondering if you would watch you brother and sister tonight."

"Why?" I continued curling Jay's hair, but I looked at her. She closed the door and walked over and sat in the chair in front of my makeup area.

"Because me and your father have to go visit your grandparents."

"You have to or you want to?" I looked at her and she got up and walked over to the door. She opened it and looked at me.

"Just watch them."

"Fine." She walked out of the room and I finished Jay's hair. "All done." She got up and walked over to the mirror and looked at herself. A smile started slowly spreading across her face. I took the cord out of the wall and wrapped it up. "You like it?"

"Do I like it?...I love it." She ran over and hugged me tightly. "Thank you, Hayden."

"Anytime." I looked at my watch and it was five twenty-four. "You should go get dressed. Tell Jamie, too."

"Okay." She walked out of the room closing the door behind her. I got up and walked over to the closet.

I took this out and walked back into the room. I took off my beanie, shirt, and pants and slipped into the skirt. I walked over to the dresser and picked up the deodorant and put it on. I put the sweater on and fixed my hair. I sat down on the chair and slipped into the shoes. I looked at myself and put some perfume on. "You look beautiful." I turned around and saw dad standing in the doorway.

"Thank you." He walked over and pulled out Aunt Catherine's pedant necklace from behind his back. He put it on me and fixed my hair. "You didn't have to do that."

"But I did." He gave me a kiss on the forehead and walked out the room. I walked over to the bed and sat down. I looked at the clock and it was five thirty five.

"I've got time." I laid down and closed my eyes taking a quick power nap.
*****************************************************
"Hayden."

"Hayden." I opened my eyes and saw Harry standing in front of me.

"Harry?" I looked at the clock and it was one minute till six. I got up and rubbed my eyes. "Sorry, I was trying to take a power nap."

"Don't apologize, it's fine."

I got up and grabbed my jacket and purse. I fixed myself off and looked at him, "Let's go."

"Okay." I turned off the light and we walked downstairs to the living room. Jamie and Jay were dressed and ready to go. "Come on guys." They got out and we walked out the door. I locked it and we walked to Harry's car. They got in and I turned to Harry. "I have to take them with us."

"That's fine."

He walked around to his side and got in. I felt someone watching us. I turned around and saw Niall in the window looking. I climbed in the car and put my seatbelt on. Harry put his on and started the car. "Everyone got there seatbelts on?"

"Yep."

"Okay, let's go."
