*Juliet's pov*

"That was fucking bizarre." I said as I took a bite of the pizza Michelle ordered.

"Do you think Hayes is cheating?" Lesley asked.

"I don't want to think about that." I said.

"Then what do you think it is?" Michelle asked.

"I don't know. I have to call him tonight too." I said.

"Just ask him tonight, then." Lesley said.

"I don't know if he's lying or not." I said.

"Then FaceTime him." Lesley shrugged.

Huh, I would have never thought about that.

How stupid am I?

I sat up and walked up to my room and sat on my bed. I decided to text Hayes.

Me: hey, can you FaceTime?

Hayes: yeah! Can't wait to see your face <3

My phone was ringing and my face appeared on the screen. I answered it and his beautiful face appeared.

"Hey Juliet!" He smiled.

"Hey Hayes!" I said.

"How is everything back home?" He said, he ran a hand through his hair.

"Fine. It's lonely without you here." I sighed.

"I heard that!" Lesley yelled.

"You were meant to!" I yelled back.

Hayes and I were laughing, but when the laughter died down, we didn't know what to say.

"Hayes, do you remember when I called you earlier today?" I asked.

He nodded.

"Who was that girl on the phone?" I said.

"Oh, the one who said 'who is this?'" He said, I nodded.

"That was just Mahogany. We were playing a game where she had to wear headphones and we were using my phone as music and she noticed it stopped when you called." He said.

"Really? Mahogany's gone too?" I said.

"Yeah.." He sighed.

"Why won't you take me with you..?" I finally got the courage to ask this.

"Juliet..it's not that simple..."

"Hayes, tell me what's going on." I said.

"I can't." He sighed as he rubbed his temples.

"What? Why can't you?" I asked.

"Because it's so complicated and you'll get mad-"

"I'm getting mad now." I said.

We stared at each other for a while, there was a lot of sighing involved and the tension was thick.

"Bye Hayes-"

"Wait! Juliet I'm sorry I-"

I hung up and threw my phone across the room. It landed on my rug but it didn't break. Thank god.

I left it there and got up and walked back to the living room.

Michelle and Lesley looked at me.

"Juliet, I'm sorry. We heard. Most if it." Lesley said.

"It's okay. I'm okay." I smiled.

Michelle turned off the TV.

"Let's just go to sleep now." Michelle said. We all agreed and we went back to my room.
