Dylan 12
HAILEY POV
School has flown by today. Only a few people have giggled at my red tinted hair, mainly the mean kids that Dylan used to sit with, but other then that everyone has been extremely caring. Curt and Colt haven't left my side which is starting to get annoying but I understand why they are playing bodyguard. My dad spoke with theirs for over an hour last night. Which is also why Dylan probably felt the need to apologize.
I walk into art with a bright smile. Curt is so sweet, he is planning an extravagant birthday surprise for Leena. He wants to wow her before asking her to be his girlfriend.
"So what do you think? To much," Curt asks letting vulnerability etch it's way into his voice.
"It sounds like it might be a little over the top. Remember what Leena likes and dislikes. She hates being the main focus and she hates surprises. Try to tone it down a bit to match her personality. You are just excited and nervous right now but remem

HAILEY POV. PG 13 "Yeah, then I fell right into the pool," Shawn says finishes his story and we both laugh loudly over the sound of the last document running through the shredder. I turn off the shredder and he flattens the now empty box. I check my phone. Dad- Mr. Ryan is giving you a ride home, See you soon. Me- okay, see you soon. I put my phone back in my pocket before heading to the sitting area. Surprisingly Dylan is sitting there with a deep scowl that catches me off guard. Normally people leave their appointments with smiles. "Hey Dylan, how was your session," I ask sitting across from him "It was fine. Is my dad driving you too," Dylan asks as his eyes look behind me."Yeah my dad messaged me about it. Normally I have to wait until he gets off but I don't mind," I say getting comfy. I unzip my bag and pull out my algebra bo

HAILEY POV I have already checked my appearance three times, but for some reason I am still in the bathroom. I didn't change my routine at all or even try to dress prettier. If Dylan is going to date me, he will get the real me. Honestly, I still can't believe he asked to date me or better yet that I said yes. Warning bells haven't stopped going off since I sent the text last night. Three weeks ago I was warning another girl that dating Dylan was a mistake. A horrible mistake. I pitied the girls he used at lunch....... Oh my goodness, I grab my stomach as jealousy and fear of not comparing, wrecks havoc on my nerves. He won't be satisfying any of those carnal cravings with me. How long will he stay interest? Long enough for me to fall in love?? "Hailey, you okay in there kiddo," dad calls from the kitchen. "Yeah," I say putting my mascara away and opening the door. I need to keep my composure. I do

HAILEY POVI brush my hair and for once I leave it down. I put on one of my nicer shirts and spray on a dash of perfume before heading to the leaving room."Dad you ready," I call out knowing today might take him a little longer then usual.Today is my parents anniversary and one of the hardest days for my dad. He always puts on a brave face for me but I know he is hurting. Luckily this year it is falling on a Sunday and he can vent a little in grief class. Since mom passed before I could make any memories with her, it is hard to connect to dad's feelings sometimes.For me I am sad that I don't know or remember the woman who brought me into this world. But for dad it is more about missing someone he knew and loved with all his heart. The loss is greater for him. The class really helps us. It helps dad cope and it helps me understand what my dad is going through."Coming kiddo," dad says as he exits his bedroom with a sad smi

DYLAN POV. TWO MONTHS. LATER PG 13 "What do you two want to see," Curt asks while looking at Leena and Hailey while smiling. I squeeze Hailey's hand as she shivers slightly. Winter is definitely making it's presence known tonight. "Let's see the new minion movie," Leena squeals while bouncing on the balls of her feet. Curt looks at us for confirmation and we shrug. "Sure. Plus I don't think Leena is gonna take no for an answer," Hailey says while laughing at her friend. "Just choose so we can get inside," I say moving to stand behind Hailey. I wrap my big arms around her so she can be sheltered from the wind. "Minions, it is," Curt says taking out our combined allowance card. He pays quickly while I place kisses all over my little beauty's head. She snuggles more into my embrace and I smile. God I love this girl. Tonight is our second double date with Curt and Leena, plus my first night driving BB again. I am literally floating with untethered ha

DYLAN POV I park my truck the best I can in one of the open parking spots. There is no way I am driving home currently. I can't even see my hands on the steering wheel. I sob as tears streak down my face. Hailey's beautiful broken eyes are burned in my mind. Rage at my own idiocy bubbles to the surface and I yell. I punch my steering wheel repeatedly causing the horn to go off several times. I bang my head against the unyielding wheel while cuss words scream from my mouth. The sounds of her heart breaking are replaying over and over in my ears. Repulsion with myself consumes my heart. How could I do that to her? Why did I keep them? This morning her joking jab had stung my heart and I had really considered deleting all the disgusting images off my phone. But I didn't. Once again I was weak and decided I needed them. I had even smiled at Trish after dropping Hailey off at first period, because of the shot she had sent me.

HAILEY POV It's kind of funny when a couple breaks up it is like the friend group has to divorce. Dylan and I have been over for a week. The first day at lunch was the weirdest. Graham, Jasmine, and Luke had all been at our usual table until they saw Dylan go sit by himself. Luke had given me one look and I guess my appearance told him everything he needed to know. As soon as he left the other two followed. Which was sad because I really like them. But Dylan needs good friends. Everyday has been a struggle. My only peaceful day was Saturday. Even though Dylan messages me goodmorning and goodnight everyday, it was the only day I didn't have to see him. Leena, Curt, Colt, and Shawn have been wonderful. They all completely agree with my decision of moving on, even though my heart is still battling. Everytime he messages me it takes all the strength I have not to message him back. It's so hard to force myself to not think of al

DYLAN POV Three weeks. Three weeks of torture but it is about to get so much worse Christmas break starts Friday and I won't be seeing her except for Sundays. I finally stopped texting her. I need to leave her alone. Curt, Colt, and I haven't really spoken to each other either. Football is over and I drive myself to and from school. So I really don't see them. Graham and Jasmine broke up. Graham found out she was messaging Eric. He has been just as mopey as me. Luke the poor guy tries to keep our spirits up.......but it's not use. I no longer attend meetings but I still talk to Benjamin. (mentor) Dad and I both agreed that I was doing great. And that the class was more awkward then beneficial. I still miss the high of watching porn or sleeping with girls, but if it isn't Hailey, I don't want it. I get home and throw my keys on the kitchen counter. I shut t

ONE YEAR AND SIX MONTHS LATERHAILEY POV I skip down the hall happily before wrapping my arms around dad's neck. Dad chuckles and puts down his newspaper. He is off today so he can come to the ceremony. "Are you ready kiddo," Dad asks with twinkling eyes. "Beyond ready dad. I can't believe I finally made it," I say grabbing my coffee mug. "Well just so you know, I am yelling for two parents so don't expect me to be dignified," Dad says getting up and walking to the couch. Dad reaches down behind the couch and pulls out a huge sign. I burst out laughing. Dad has made himself a neon sign with black letters, that says, "I am Hailey Evan's Dad!!!!!!!!!" "Your mom knew she wasn't going to make it. She told me at all your big life events I was to go as overboard as possible. To make up for her not being there," Dad says with slightly misty eyes. But his smile say
