it's been 2 whole days without hayes. 2 whole days. i know what you guys are thinking. 2 days is not even a lot. however, it is for sure a lot when it's 2 days on a break. we haven't texted or anything and all i can think about is him. i keep thinking about if he's out with other girls or kissing other girls and it scares me so much.
all of a sudden i saw a hand waving in front of my face.

"natalie? hello, are you even listening?"
oh right....i'm on a date with brody.

"BRODY HI IM SORRY IM HERE i was just thinkin bout.....my dog yanno i miss that lil guy."

brody shakes it off and begins talking about something with basketball but honestly i'm not really listening because it's not hayes. i went on a date last night with malcolm and it felt so weird. it only feels right when i'm with hayes. i miss that boy.

i pulled away from lauren's lips once more. god she's so beautiful. yesterday me and lauren went on a date and today she's over at my house. we're hanging out in the basement and man am i happy i decided to invite her over. but can i get deep really fast? i really have no idea if i'm into lauren bc sometimes when she's talking i just find myself drifting into thoughts about nat. i feel like i'm trying to convince myself that i do like lauren because natalie doesn't deserve me but i know in my heart i love nat. ugh all of this is so stressful.

"hayes what do ya wanna watch next?" lauren
said and crinkled her nose cutely.

"anything you want cutie." i winked. i honestly didn't  care what we watched. all of this is stressing me out. i don't know whether to keep seeing lauren because i don't wanna lead her on but i genuinely don't know if natalie deserves me. she kissed another guy which is her ex. that's not something small at all.
"Lauren, i don't mean to sound rude but is it okay if i just finish up my homework? I'm pretty tired, we can see each other tomorrow!"

"No problem Hayes, I get it. I'll see you tomorrow." she kissed my lips lightly before walking out my front door.
See, she left. I don't miss her. The minute Nat used to walk out the door I would miss her. Maybe I should text her, you never know.

hayes- hey nat...how are you?
no reply.....
30 minutes pass...no reply

i've been staring at my phone for the past 30 minutes trying to figure out how to reply to hayes. i don't want to be too pushy but i don't wanna text him too dry either.
i need to man up and say something.

nat: hey...i'm good, how are you?! ....... hey! good, and yourself? ....... hey hayes...i'm okay, and yourself?
yeah that's better....
hayes: i'm doing okay too...i miss u nat
nat : i miss u too.
hayes: but i just don't think we're meant to be anymore.

WAIT WHAT?! why did he even text me then!!!
nat: can we talk about this in person?
hayes: if that's what you want...
nat : can you meet at the p&b coffee house in 15?
hayes: see ya then...

fuck i'm so nervous....my stomachs going crazy right now. i don't wanna lose him. what am i gonna do.
