"So what's up with you and Brandon?",Raylene asked as she picked up her tray the same time as Haylie did as they walked down the line in the cafeteria. "Oh,nothing..he's nice and all that but,well ya know." "Actually NO,I don't know." She said as they walked to a table and sat across from eachother. "Well,-" "Do you want him to ask you to the prom?" "PROM?",Haylie thought for a minute,it was actually coming up in two months and she hadn't thought about it once. "Don't you think that's a little bit too soon for that?," Haylie continued,"Plus I still..uh nevermind." "You still what Haylie?" "Nothing,absolutely nothing." She looked down at her tray to notice the glob that as supposed to be mashed potatoes in her tray and made a face. "You still like Nick." Her best friend said looking at her stright in her eye almost reading her thoughts. Haylie gave a small sigh,"Your wrong Raylene,I don't like Nick." "Yes you do. You miss him. Sleep on it..on second thought think about it for-" "I DON'T LIKE HIM OKAY?! And..I don't miss him." "Well,I KNOW a thing or two about a good relationship okay?" Raylene said with a twitch of fury in her eyes as she stared at Haylie,"And I say,give it a few days,if you love him you'll feel it,you'll know..if not,your ready to move on.." Haylie thought for a minute and stared in to space,"Maybe your right Ray..maybe your right." I could lose my heart tonight,if you don't turn and walk away 'Cuz the way I feel I might lose control and let you stay 'Cuz I could take you in my arms and never let go... I could fall in love with you.. The phone rang loudly in Haylie's room,she opened her eyes to look at the clock on her nightstand to notice it was 3:00 in the morning,"Who the hell is this?" "Haylie?" "Yeah do I know you?" "It's Brian,Nick's friend.." "Oh yeah,hi.." She said in a voice trying to give him a hint. "Oh,I'm so sorry! I totally forgot about the time difference! Listen,I thought I should call and tell you this..because,I didn't want you to take it out all Nick." "What do you mean?" "Oh..a girlfriend," She said through sniffels trying to hide her tears,"Well..-" "Are you going to be alright?" "Yeah,ofcourse,yeah,I'll be fine,as a matter of fact..I've decided to move on to..I have a boyfriend." "Boyfriend?" He asked surprised,"Do you love him?" There was a moment of thick silence,"Yes." She said simply. "Alright. I just thought I'd let you know,I'll keep in touch though if that's okay with you though..?" "Yeah,that'd be great,I've gotta go,see you later okay?Oh and Brian,thank you for telling me about this.." "Your welcome." He whispered and then there was a silent click. Haylie got up from her bed and walked slowly to her window. She looked out to see the shining stars glowing in the clear,black sky. "I can't love him,I can't.." Tears fell down her cheeks and fell to the ground and all she could now see were blurry stars and a blurry sky,"If I ever fall in love again..I'll go crazy," She whispered,"This can't be love....it can't be." Just then she seen a shooting star graze across the sky,she closed her eyes as more tears fell down,"I wish..I'd fall out of love..out of love." I can only wonder how..touching you would make me feel But if I take that chance right now,tomarrow will you want me still? So I should,keep this to myself..and never let you know? "Bri,who were talking to on the phone?",Nick asked curiously. They were in the bus in the 'living room part of the bus.' "Nobody." "You were talking to nobody?" "I WAS talking to somebody,maybe it's just none of your buisness." "You were talking to-" "Yeah you know who,the heart you broke,the girl that you confused." Nick sat down slowly,but then got back up when he said that,"I don't feel like talking about this." He walked into the room next door and noticed everyone else was sleeping. He laid down and hugged the pillow and slowly..cried himself to sleep that night. "Oops..I did it again! I played with your heart got lost in this game oh bab-" "Shut up Britney!" Haylie said slamming down her radio alarm clock. She opened her eyes thinking that's exactly how she felt though,her heart..was being played with. All day. All through school. She could think of nothing else..of no one else..but Nick. She threw her backpack down on the floor of her bedroom and threw herself on the bed. She looked up at the celing wondering why she was feeling like this why was she feeling she wanted to be wanted? Why did she want to be loved by someone who was trying to break her heart? The phone rang,"Yeah?" "It's Brandon. What's up you sound sad?" "Nothing. Nothing much." "You can tell me." "Acutally,no. I can't. I'm sorry." "Well,that's okay,hey you wanna go catch a movie?" "Sure,pick me up in an hour okay?" "You got it. See ya." She slowly got up from her bed and wondered around,"I fell in love..." I could fall in love with you, So I should,keep this to myself and never let you know? I could fall in love with you... Chapter 9 Story Index Main Page
