What You're Missing (Ross lynch fanfic) #Wattys2016

chapter 14 - "you're so hot."

Hailey's P.O.V.

As soon as those words rolled out of his mouth, I put my head down blushing. I uncontrollably smiled. I glanced at him through my hair strands, he was biting his bottom lip smiling. (A/N) Could this get any more cliché? )

His eyes shoot up to the sky. "Hailey look! A shooting star, quick make a wish," he exclaimed pointing at the sky. I instantly closed my eyes, wishing for something I've wanted for a few days now.

"Hailey?" He asked looking at me. "Yeah?"

"Whats your dream?" He asked curiously.

"My dream? No one has asked me that before . But I actually have a dream. I've always wanted it since I was like, 7 ." I said looking at the sky.

"What is it?"

"I've always wanted to be an archaeologist. " i blurted turning to him.

" an Archaeologist? As in study archeology? " he asked kind of surprised.

"Yeah, for all that I know, my family has a huge history, which consists of unsolved mysteries. "

"Wow, you said I was the first to ask that question, does that mean you haven't said that to anyone before?" He said as I thought about it.

"Actually, yeah. No one knows. But that's because my parents expect something else from me. " i said as he nodded. I looked at him thinking about what he asked me.

"I'm gonna show you something, " I said smirking as he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

"Where?" He asked
"In the basement." I said standing up.

"You are pretty mysterious, don't you think? "He said standing up with me.

"I am?" I asked furrowing my eyebrows.

"Yeah, considering I'm the first person to know about a lot of things about you, I even bet your name is a secret code, " he laughed stuffing his hands in his back pockets.

"My name does not have a secret code, " I stated rolling my eyes, "but I was named Hailey for a reason."

"Is it because you like winter?" He asked smiling. "No, dad named me 'Hailey' because his and mom's first kiss was in soft hail. he wanted to name me Hailey, to always remember his and mom's love story, " I said tying my hair in a ponytail.

"Really? Thats thoughtful. " he said smiling as I nodded."it's amazing how much they love each other. Its indescribable, " I said as we both got up.

We walked in the window, and crept out of my room and downstairs into the basement. I flicked on the light switch and walked to the old metal chest.

We sat by it, our legs crossed. "You have freckeles," Ross stated looking at my shoulder. "Yup, only on my shoulder though," I replied looking at him.

He held the old box's lock. "Does that have a key?" He asked.
"Yeah," I said putting my hand on my neck to take the necklace off, "this key." A/N the necklace is in the previous chapter's outfit.

He looked at the golden key necklace. It had 'strength' carved on it. "This necklace, has been in my family for 4 centuries. " i said as he took it from my hand.

"4 centuries? " he asked examining it. "Yes, I found it buried in my grandfather's garden, I was 9 at that time. As soon as I found it, I wore it. And almost never too it off."

"What did it contain?" Ross replied.

"this necklace, holds a lot of secrets, and its a key to a valuable time capsule of our family. Plus, it's actually a very pure gold, which makes it worth even a lot more, " He turned to the old chest running his calloused hands over it.
