So when she ends up being a he, what does Hayden do?
During the wait to switch place, she grows quite attached to the care, kindness, humor, simplicity and courage the five boys show her. She grows attached to the stubbornness and love that feed their will not to give up on including her in everything.
So what happens when the paralyzing book of her nightmares once more opens and is read out loud for not only her, but now, also those five boys? Easy. She tries running away again. But...

Or maybe...

" W-what this? " I lost the ability to speak English properly. I understood what was that but I couldn't function. My heart didn't believe this. The marriage we had cannot be fake. It didn't feel fake.
" Why? Can't you understand the clearly written words? " He said. Yes, he answered me. But why was he behaving this way? I moved towards him and stood in front of him.
I just can't get what this means? Was this fake? Why? What did I do to deserve this?
" I c-can't understand anything," I said slowly. I just wish this comes out to be a fake thing. All of this a joke. I helplessly looked towards him. He was quiet and looked emotionless. I felt scared of his behavior for the first time.
This is not true. It can't be.
