The sunshine shone through my curtains and caught my eyes, making them fly open. I instantly regreted it as it burned my eyes. I sat up slightly and looked to my right to see Vic but he wasn't there. So I turned my head to look on the floor at where his clothes were last night but they weren't there. He must have gotten up. I wrapped the sheet around my body and climbed out of bed. Wandering over to the closet, I laughed at some pictures on the walls. I opened the doors of my old closet and looked through my clothes. I found a pair of skinny jeans that were ripped and washed up and an old The Cure t-shirt. I nodded and looked through some drawers and found some underwear. I quickly put the outfit on and found a ragged pair of chucks and threw them on. After that I went to the bathroom and washed my face and brushed my teeth. I put my hair in a messy ponytail and let my bangs fall down the sides of my face. I was ready. I climbed down the stairs and walked by the lounge. I looked in to see Vic and Erica watching Spongebob together. She was talking away about random stuff and he would play along. It was insanely adorable. I continued to walk down the hallway and into the kitchen. My mom was sitting at the island drinking a cup of coffee. I smiled and sat down across from her. "Morning" She smiled. "Good morning" I replied with a yawn. "Well it's 12:48 so afternoon really. How come you slept in so late?" She asked sipping her coffee. "I don't know, tour takes it out of me" I smiled. "You seem much more relaxed Hayley" She smiled. I looked up at her with a smirk. "It's because of him isn't it?" She asked. "I'm happy, really happy" I smiled. "I had a little chat with him about an hour ago" She said raising her eyebrows. "Mom, please don't say you embarrassed me" I groaned rubbing my face. "Hayley, he's a lovely young man. He really loves you. Infact I can almost bet he would die for you" She winked. "Mom, you've been watching too much Romeo, Juliet shit" I sighed. "Mock me if you want but the way he looks at you, or his eyes light up when he talks about you... it's intense, love like that is hard to find. Don't lose him" She said standing up and kissing the top of my head. The door opened and Erica walked into the kitchen. She seen me and smiled. "Vics looking for you" She said then walked over to the fridge. I stood up and went to go find him. I looked in the living room and then in the dining room. He wasn't in either. I decided to go out to the porch. I opened the door and seen him sitting on the stairs. I shut the door behind me and sat down next to him on the stairs. "Hey" I whispered. He turned his head to face me. "Hey" He half smirked. "Ericas really smart y'know" He said. "I know, it's scary but nice" I smiled and looked at my feet. He looked at my legs and laughed. "Wow those jeans are ripped up" He said as he slid his hand down the rips, tugging on them. I laughed quietly. "Yeah, I wore these on my first ever Warped actually" I said. "Really, wow. That was a long time ago" He smiled. "Yeah" I nodded. "When do you wanna go back?" I asked looking at his watch, forgetting that it was set to Californian time. "Now?" He asked. I nodded and we both stood up and went inside to say goodbye to my mom and Erica. "Hayley, I hate when you have to go again" She sighed. "I know mom, it's sucks but you know that careers are important" I smiled and hugged her. She hugged Vic and said goodbye to him and that she hoped that she would see him again soon. I said goodbye to Erica. She cried so much which made me cry. "Is Mikayla upstairs?" I asked. My mom nodded. "I'm gonna go say bye" I said quietly. I left the room and climbed up the stairs. I knocked on her door and heard her say "come in". She was sitting on her bed with her arms wrapped around her knees. She looked up at me briefly then looked away again. I walked over and sat down on the edge of her bed. "That's me leaving" I said softly. She looked at me then sighed. "Why are you with him?" She asked. "I love him Mikayla" I whispered. "No you don't you love Chad, you're just looking for something to fill the gap" She said furiously. "Wow, Mikayla, you aren't me so whatever you think I feel about Chad... is not true. I did love him but not anymore" I sighed. "Why?" She frowned. "Do you want to know why we really split up?" I whispered. She looked up and nodded. "We began to discuss our future, marriage... kids" I laughed. She smiled slightly. "But he wanted me to quit the band in order to do all that. He didn't want a kid to grow up in a family that are never together and travel a lot due to touring. I don't want kids just yet though and if I did, I wouldn't ever give up Paramore to do it. It's my life. So we called it quits" I told her. She looked at me sadly. "Don't regret it Hayley. Paramore is in your blood but love is in your heart. Goodluck on tour and tell Vic I'm sorry" She whispered. I smiled and pulled her in for a hug. She held on tightly and then I stood up. "See ya soon kid" I smiled. I left her room and went downstairs. Vic was waiting for me in the car. I kissed my mom bye and left. I walked over to the car and climbed in. I closed my eyes and sighed. "Mikaylas sorry" I said then opened my eyes. "It's okay, she's just a kid" He smiled. "I love you" I said looking him dead in the eyes. "I love you too" He said looking back. We didn't break the contact. Just kept looking at each other and that's the moment I knew. I knew that I wanted to be with him forever. I started the car and then drove back home.
