Love/Hate

Hayden's P.O.V.

l woke up in the nurse's office with a wet paper towel on my head. I took it off and sat up only to feel a sharp pain in my head. "You should lay down."

I looked to my right and saw Niall sitting next to me with his phone in his hand. He put it away and looked at me, "You don't want your head to hurt more."

"What are you doing here, Horan?"

He got up and looked at me, "Where on a last name thing, now..are we?" He walked around the bed and stood in front of it, "Doesn't matter. What does matter is, I'm only here because Harry asked me to while he's in class."

"Well, that's unnecessary because I'm leaving." I got up and walked over to the door. I walked out and tried to walk without any problems, but that failed because I had to go hold myself up against lockers while walking away.

"Where are you going?"

"As far away from you as possible." I walked into a bathroom and held myself long enough to go into a stall and closed the door. I heard the bathroom door open followed by footsteps. "Get out of here, Horan. This is the girls' bathroom."

"I'm not going anywhere until you tell why you're running away from me."

I opened the stall door and looked at him. "I'm running away from you because you keep kissing me and you know I like Harry. Also, you're dating Ashleigh and I'm not that kind of girl." The pain started up again and I clutched my head in pain.

He walked over to me and took my hands off my head. I stood up straight and looked at him. He pinned me to the wall and smashed his lips against mine. Okay, even though I like Harry He isn't a bad kisser. Wait!!! Pause and rewind....did I just say that. I pushed him off me and ran out the bathroom.

I ran out the school to the football field and hid behind the bleachers. I sat down on the cold dry ground and puller my knees to my face and started crying. I heard a footsteps coming past me then there was silence. "Excuse me, are you okay?"

I looked up and saw a guy with brown hair and brown eyes looking at me worryingly. "Yeah, I'm fine." I wiped my face and got up. I dusted myself off and looked at me. "Just confused about things."

"What sort of things?"

Why does he want to know about it?....Nevermind That I really don't care at all. "Boys."

"Oh....well we all get confused, so you have nothing to worry about when it comes to that because eventually you'll figure out the answer."

"That's very helpful....." I tried to get his name.

"Liam. Liam Payne."

"That's very helpful, Liam." The bell rang and he left. I walked back inside and went to my locker. I opened it and took my skateboard out.

"I believe this belongs to you." I looked up and saw Harry standing there with my bag in his hand. He handed it to me and I closed the locker.

"Thanks."

"No problem....so is your head any better."

We started walking towards the main entrance and I looked at him, "A little, but there's still pain coming now and then."

"That's good...I think." We walked outside and he stopped me, "Hayden, I was wondering if...you..w-would...maybe.."

My phone started buzzing really loudly making me stop, "Hold on a sec." I took it out of my pocket and answered. "Hello?"

"Hayden, honey I need you to pick your brother and sister to up from school, I have to go to a job interview and your father's at work."

"Like right now?"

"Yes."

"But I don't even know where it is."

"Go to the park and go past it two blocks."

I looked at Harry and he looked away. "Fine." I hung up and pushed it back into my pocket. I looked at Harry and sighed before flinging my bag over my shoulder. "I have to go pick up the twins. Can this wait until later?...You know what just tell me at the party. Also, can you tell Ashleigh I can't go shopping with her today?...Thanks."

I picked up my skateboard and walked away. I started running and then hopped on it. I skated down the street past people who were walking too slow. I skated to the park and went two blocks past it to their school.

I skated onto the sidewalk and stopped. I picked up the board and walked inside. 8th graders were all over the place running and throwing stuff. I heard a loud bang and I saw Jamie and Jay being pinned up to lockers by two girls.

A crowd formed around them and they started chanting, "Fight!Fight!Fight!" I walked over to the crowd and pushed past the kids. The girl both raised their fists to hit them, but I grabbed both of them by the hair and pulled them away. One of the girls walked up to me and got in my face "Who the fuck do you think you are?"

"I'm their big sister and if you EVER lay such as one finger on them, I WILL shove my fist so far down your throat your friend over there would feel it."

She slowly backed away and grabbed her friend. They ran away and I turned to the twins, "Are you guys, alright?"

"Yeah." Jay walked up to me and gave me a hug. "Thank you."

"No problem." They picked up their bags and we walked out the building and I looked at them. "Tomorrow, I'm teaching you how to fight without physical contact."

"Okay." We walked to the park, so we could get home quicker. We past people spending time with their children when a pair of hands covered my face. "Harry?!!"

"Nope." He removed my hands from my face and I turned to him in frustration and annoyance.

"What do you want, Horan?"

"What's the problem, Mitchell? I can't say hi to my friendly neighbors." He smiled at me and I saw a evil sparkle in his eyes.

"We're going home." I fixed my grip on the board and looked at the twins.

"Can't we stay with Niall?"

"No...mom's instructions were to pick you up from school and bring you home."

"Come you can stay for a while, plus a couple of friends of mine have been dying to see my neighbors."

I looked at him then at the twins. "Fine." Jay jumped into his arms and he carried her over to where he and friends are. Jamie walked beside me as we made our way over to them.

We got there and my phone started buzzing. I took it out and saw my best friend Katilyn calling. I stopped and put it to my ear. "Hello?"

"HAYDEN!!!"

"KATILYN!!!"

"How's it going?"

"Everything is good."

"Are there any cute boys?"

"Really? That's all you want to know." I looked at the ground and sighed, "Fine. Yes there are."

"LUCKY!!!" I laughed at how she's always so loud and enthusiastic. I turned around and continued looking at the ground. "Anyways, Luke keeps talking about you."

"I don't care."

"I'm serious. He's always like, "Oh. She's going come back to me they always do.""

"He's funny ."

"I know that's why I told him you rather eat shit and die."

"What the fuck!!!" I laughed so hard my stomach started hurting. I held my side as I heard her start laughing. "Bye." I hung up and walked over to the others.

"Hayden, look." I looked up and saw Jay standing on a branch that didn't look sturdy.

I put my hand on my face and looked at her, "Javina....Annabelle....Mitchell, GET DOWN FROM THERE RIGHT NOW."

"Fine." She climbed down and ran over to Niall. I walked over to Harry and sat down next to him. Niall and him looked at me and smiled. I ignored Niall and looked at Harry. He got up and grabbed my hand, "Can I talk to you over there?"

"Sure." I got up and he pulled behind some trees away from the others. I looked at him and he leaned forward and kissed me. Taken me off guard again, my body felt like a flower blooming in spring. He pulled away and looked at me.

"I was trying to ask you if you would like to be my girlfriend?"

I looked at him surprised and stunned. After one date he wants me to be his girlfriend. I'm not sure if I should considering before I left I had a very nasty break up. I looked at him and I felt a tear rolled down my cheek, "Harry....I don't know if now is a good time. Before I left Florida I had a nasty break up and I told myself, I wouldn't date someone else for a while."

"But you went on a date with me."

"Yeah, I went on a date with you. I'm not dating you. I would like to continue going on dates with you and get to know you, but I'm just not ready to date... anyone yet."

"I understand." He walked away leaving me standing there crying and alone. Why did I have to make everything so fucking complicated and confusing. I walked back to the others and picked up my bag and board, "Jay...Jamie we're leaving....now."

They picked up their stuff and came up to me. They hugged me and I cried more for having them see their big sister crying and not happy. They pulled away and I looked at them. "I love you two, and don't ever forget that."

"Okay." We walked away and headed home. I should be moving on, but it's so hard to. Now the guy I like is upset and I'm standing here crying in front of my little brother and sister.
************************************************************
We got home and I went straight to my room not wanting to talk to anyone. I sat down in the corner of my bathroom and just cried. I like Harry, but me not moving on is holding me back from trusting someone like him.

*Knock* * Knock*

"Hayden, sweetie." I heard the bathroom door open and mom was standing there with a worried look on her face. "Hayden, what's wrong?"

"I can't."

"Can't what?"

"Move on from Luke."

She walked over to me and crouched down next to me, "You'll have to otherwise you will miss on a good guys out there." She wiped my eyes with her thumb and got up. She walked out the bathroom and closed the door behind her.

She's right moving on is the best key, but it's going take time and effort. I pulled my phone out my pocket and looked at the time. It's six thirty five and I still need to get ready. I walked into my room and pulled out a cute outfit for the party.

I walked over to my make up area and plugged in my curling. I sat down on the chair and started curling my hair in big chunks. I heard a noise coming from the window making me stop what I was doing. I got up and walked over to the window. I opened it and saw Harry standing there. "What are you doing here?"

"Can I come up?"

"Sure." He walked over to the tree and started climbing up. I walked over to my bedroom door and closed it. He climbed in and looked at me.

"I understand what you said earlier and I agree with what you said. If I went through a horrible break up I wouldn't date someone either, so yeah...I understand why you said that."

I smiled to myself as I looked at him, "Well, after I came home I had a small, but helpful, conversation with my mom and she said if you don't move on it will block you finding a good guy in the world."

"She's right."

"I know that, so...yes I will be your girlfriend."

He smiled at me and I felt like I made the right choice. I just hope Niall doesn't ruin this because I, in seriousness, would punch him in the dick.
