It was about an hour into the open road where I decided it was time to really consider my options. I could turn back and maybe this would have gave him a wake up call, or I could go back to Tennessee. As my thoughts decided for me, my phone started ringing.
I looked at the caller ID and it read 'Mikes Ways!' I smiled and answered the phone.
"Hey, Mikey what's up?" I asked
"Hayley, he's calmed down now, he wants to come see you in morning. Is that okay?" Mikey sounded defeated.
"Mikey, I'm not staying around anymore. I can't do this" I sighed
"What, where are you going Hayley?" He sounded more alert now
"I'm going home. My real home" I sighed
"Please don't, he's sorry" Mikey said sounding worried
"It doesn't matter, he used to always tell me, that men who hit their girlfriends were scum and didn't deserve to live anymore. Where does that leave him now?" I asked
"He's messed up. You know that" Mikey cried down the phone
"Yeah, I understand his situation. My mom had to same situation, I wasn't planned Mikey, my mom didn't want children. My dad got annoyed and one night never used protection, but you know my family are very religious. So abortion wasn't an option. What if that happened to me? Your ass of a brother made a little mistake. If he so claims to love me but still hit me tonight, then what chance would a child have if it were the same situation? Sorry Mikey, but I can't chance it. I have to go, Sorry. Tell him I'm, sorry and he will understand one day why I left. If not then he will just need to accept it and move on. I love you Mikes, be careful!" I said hanging up the phone.
Maybe it's time for some sleep. I decided to go to some abandoned parking lot and go for a sleep in the back of the car. I knew that this would happen so I prepared a blanket and pillow. Sleep decided it wasn't going to come very easily. I didn't care though I just wanted to relax, and take in everything that happened. I can't believe this is what everything has come to! I spent a year with him and this is how he has let it end! Why was I so stupid to accept this and think he would be a good person. I knew from the beginning he drunk alcohol at random unnecessary times! Why didn't I learn from that. Man Josh is looking pretty good for me now.
Josh. Josh Farro. He was my best friend, my everything. When I moved away I cried the full night before. I remember when I started Freshman year of high school. He walked me to school and kept telling me everything would be fine. After school he took me to get ice cream, then hung at my house writing songs for our made up band we had going. Life was simple then, before we had to grow up and move on. I missed him, I miss him. I miss Zac and his cuteness also, and Jeremy always acting like the adult among us! and Taylor always acting like the little clown that he is.
I knew then that my decision was made. I'm going to Tennessee.
It took me about 5 days to get there. I kept getting lost and having to get help, directions and a lot of different maps. My mom had phoned me about 20 times to see how I was. She understood my decision and was backing me up. She also told me that Gerard had came round not knowing that I was gone yet. She said Mikey phoned apologizing, saying he went to bed and when he woke up to go and tell Gerard about me leaving, he was already gone. She wasn't too upset with him coming over, just explaining it too him upset her a lot. She told me she had never seen a boy so heartbroken. It broke my heart.
He phoned me a few times but I ignored it, then he played the sneaky game. He used Mikey's phone to call me. This is how that one went.
"Hey, Mikey's sup?" I said down the phone
"Oh, you will answer to my brother but not me?" Gerard questioned.
"Shit, um, I didn't exactly know what to say, I'm sorry" I apologized.
"You don't need to say sorry, but I think I had the right to know, don't you?" He questioned
"You lost all rights when you hit me" I snapped.
He just went silent.
"Hayley, I'm sorry, please come back. I need you to help me" He pleaded, I just sighed
"No, maybe this will teach you, and as a note to your future girlfriends, hitting doesn't go down well. I'm sorry it went down this way, but in the end you know what?" I asked
"What" He questioned
"You, were the one to fuck it up. Not me" I said hanging up the phone.
It could have went a lot better on my side but he pissed me off.
When I arrived in Franklin, I never realized how much I would miss it. The smell, the heat and just the way it looks. I couldn't believe how different things were. I really couldn't believe I had made it back.
I made my way over to Jeremy's apartment, Josh told me that he had moved in with him recently in an email. I missed him so much. I got up the stairs and knocked on the door.
"Josh, go get the door it's probably the pizza man!" I heard Zac shout.
"Kay" Josh shouted as the door flew open.
We just stared at each other for a minute not saying a thing. Scared to I guess.
"Hayley, what are you doing here?" He asked, a smile creeping up on his face.
"Got sick of Jersey, decided this is home and I missed you guys" I said grabbing him and pulling him into a hug.

back in Jersey
Gerard's POV
I can't believe she's gone. This is all my fault. No one to blame. Me.
I told her she would ruin everything. That she was bad news.
But it was actually me. I drove her outta this town.
I love her so much and the fact that I felt like I wasn't right drove me to be like this.
I know I should stop but I can't now, drinking and taking pills are the only way I can get rid of the heartache. I love her and now she hates me.
Why did I need to drink so goddamn much!!!!!!!!
"Gee, I think you should try and sober up. Mom's getting worried" Mikey said to me
"Go away Mikey, just go away!" I screamed and threw my sketch pad at the door as it closed.
Bring her back Mikey, I know you can do it.

Hayley's POV
"So, are you sure it's cool if I crash here for a bit until I can get an apartment?" I asked Jeremy.
"Look, if this is permanent. Which looks like it is, we can look for a bigger apartment and all move in together. Taylor has been bitchin' about his mom annoying him, to move out so it would be a good idea to start looking" Jeremy smiled
"So where is Gaylor? I have missed him!" I squealed
"He's at his dad's work, helping out. The guys live here really but don't sleep. I just pay the bills!" Jeremy laughed
"I can't wait for us to be together again man, I've been looking forward to this for the last 5 days!" I smiled
"Let's get your stuff up, Josh your sleeping in with me for a few nights, we will go house hunting tomorrow, just means you guys will all needa get jobs" Jeremy sighed, knowing none of them had intentions of getting a job.
"I have my savings card, with about $10.000, My mom gave me it on my birthday means we can use that on the first few months of rent, and then just pay me back later kinda. Sound like a plan?" I asked
"You know we will all pay back our share. Don't worry about that!" Josh said.
"I know, thanks for letting me crash anyways. I'm so happy to be back" I laughed
"Are you gonna tell us the real reason you left NJ, you seemed pretty happy with them all there. Something happen?" Zac asked nervously
"Gerard started excessively drinking and doing drugs, I couldn't handle it anymore and decided I needed you guys back" I said looking away. Thankfully they dropped it. Zac went home and we all got settled into bed and went to sleep.
