*HAYES'S POV*
"T-tonight?" I stuttered.
"Yes, tonight." She sighed.
"Come in." I said as I opened the door a little wider to let her in.
She came in, and put a big backpack next to her as she sat on the couch.
"Juliet, we can't leave tonight." I said.
"Do you know how many times you've talked about running away with me?" She asked.
"I wasn't serious."
"Now I want to run away with you and you don't even want to?"
"It's not like that. We have family-"
"You have family. My only family is in California." She assured me.
"Then what about Matt? Nash? Taylor? They're all of our friends, Nash is my brother. Do you understand how worried or upset they'll be?" I asked.
"We'll write a note. But we have to get away from my mom. She'll do anything she can to separate us." She said as she rubbed her temples.
"Is it your mom? Is it about her?" I asked as I grabbed her hands.
"Yeah but she's not the only thing. It's this town I'm sick of. I just want to leave everything behind, and start over." She sighed. I kissed her hands.
"I promise we'll go to California. But I have to talk to my parents and Nash about it." I said and she smiled.
"Then could I spend the night? Because my mom will find out eventually that I'm here." She said.
I pressed my lips on hers. The kiss lingered on in the air.
"Of course you can."
*Juliet's pov*
"Nash, we have to talk to you." I said as we stood in his room.
"What's up?" He asked. I sat on his floor and Hayes sat on his bed.
"We have to leave for California tonight." I huffed.
"Juliet I can't just drop everything and leave." He said and I nodded.
"I completely understand I-"
"We have to talk to Cam first." Nash smiled as he grabbed his phone.
"What?" Hayes and I said at the same time.
"Yeah, and we have to talk to mom and dad first. We could leave tomorrow morning at the latest." He said.
"Shut up." I said in shock.
"I'll call Cam and tell him to spend the night." Nash smiled and I cheered.
I got up and hugged both Hayes and Nash.
"Thank you guys, and I'm sorry." I apologized to Hayes.
"It's okay." He said and I smiled.
We walked back to his room and he put in a movie.
We laid down on his bed and he wrapped his strong arms around my torso. He kissed my ear.
That was when we heard yelling.
"Nash! You can't just go!"
"Juliet's mom would not be okay with this!"
"Hayes shouldn't be a part of this."
His arms tensed around me, and I heard him sigh.
"Everything's going to work out." He said as he kissed me again.
