*Hayleys POV*

*Morning*

"Get up were gonna miss our flight!" Blake yelled and threw a pillow in my face. I jumped up and ran to my bathroom. I figured There was no time to take a shower so I put my hair in a messy bun with Nike shorts and a sweatshirt. No need to look nice for an airport. Am I right? I'm right.

I ran down the stairs to the kitchen. Blake and my parents were down there sitting.

"Aren't we gonna be late? Let's go!" I yelled. They seemed in no hurry.

"Were not late. It only 7, our flight leaves at 9. I just told you that so you'd get up." Blake said with a laugh. I stuck my tongue out at him and got on my phone. The picture of Hayes and I at the beach was still my lockscreen. And I wasn't planning on changing it anytime soon.

*Hayes POV*

I woke up and my eyes were swollen, Probably from crying all last night. I guess I need to try to not think about Hayley.

Hayley...

I decided to get on my phone. I picked it up off the ground because god knows why it was down there and turned it on.

My lockscreen, Ah yes! Hayley. I smiled at the picture. The memory of that night flooded throught my head. The kiss. The ocean. Waves. Necklace.

Oh shit the necklace! Way ta go Hayes! How could you be do stupid as to leave a necklace on a dock?

I threw on a shirt and some random pair of vans and ran to the door not even caring what my mom was saying.

I ran all the way to the park until I reached 'the spot'. I dodged the tree until I saw the creeks water spark lying in the sunlight.

There it was. Shining bright. The necklace.

I carefully picked it up and ran back home. Thank god I do football.

"Mom mom mom mom take me to the airport now! Please?" I asked out of breath. It was 8, and there flight leaves at 9, so I could probably make it.

Probably.

"Hayley! Hayley!" I yelled in the airport. I spotted Blake talking to Andrea near the donut stop in the airport.

"Blake! Have you seen Hayley?" I yelled worriedly. He pointed over to the waiting chairs towards a stressed out Hayley. I ran over there and immediately Hayley's face brightened.

"Hayes!" She ran up and hugged me while I twirled her around. Ah yes, just like the movies.

"What are you doing here? I mean not that I don't li-" I cut her off with a kiss. She didn't hesitate to kiss back. I let go and grabbed the necklace out of my pocket.

"Here. I accidentally left it at the creek" I showed her the necklace and she smiled probably the biggest smile ever.

"Hayes! Thank you so much I was worried!" She exclaimed and I put it on, just like I did when I asked to be my girlfriend.

She turned around and we kissed yet again. The fire that I always get when we kissed went through me.

"Flight 123 to Alabama is now boarding." Goes the intercom. Hayley pulls away from the kiss that only felt like seconds.

"I guess I gotta go." She said sadly and picked up her carry-on. She gave me one last hug and kiss then turned to go with her parents and Blake.

I sat there and watched as they got into the plane. As Hayley walked up the steps she turned around and our eyes meet.

Now Hayes, tell her.

She smiled and I mouthed 'I love you'. She turned around and got into the plane, and I'm not even sure if she saw me say that. Honestly, I'm not even sure if she felt the same way. But I knew I love Hayley.

That I was sure of.

"I'm sorry dude, how bout we go play some LAX?" Nash asked as my mother and I got home.

"Nah I don't really feel like it." I looked down and literally feel on the couch. My phone vibrated in my pocket and I Manage to get it. It's was a message from Hayley:

I love you too.
