Enjoy Part Two! I'll probably post up to part three or four today and do a few more tomorrow. I'm gonna space it out a little bit.
Disclaimer: Don't own, wish I did.
Hayley and Alex grew closer by each day that passed. Soon spending every possible hour together just talking about random bands and what not. The pair grew closer until they were pronounced bestfriends, which was distinguished within a month of knowing eachother.
The years went by, the two grew closer, until of course, when they turned fourteen.
He looked over at the girl he was currently at the beach with.
"You're soaked, Hales." Alex laughed.
Hayley rolled her eyes and playfully pushed his shoulder.
"It's because you pushed me into the water, dick head." She defended.
"Well, we're at the beach, you're supposed to get wet!" Alex exclaimed.
"Not when you're fully clothed." Hayley replied.
"Well, you didn't bring a bathing suit. Why didn't you bring one?" Alex asked.
"It's because I look bad in bathing suits." Hayley shrugged.
"That's ridiculous, Hayley. You'll look just fine." Alex told her, lightly patting her shoulder.
"Nah, I don't like how tight they fit. I'm not skinny enough for a bathing suit. I don't like playing in the water anyways." Hayley said, looking out into the light blue water.
"Hayley, that's crazy." Alex whispered. "You're a pretty girl."
Hayley laughed and nudged his shoulder again.
"Don't get all mushy." Hayley told him with a grin.
Alex smiled crookedly.
"C'mon, you're already wet, let's go in the water." Alex suggested, standing up and taking her hand.
Alex let out a groan as she followed him to the water. She removed her t-shirt, leaving her in the black tanktop she was wearing underneath. Alex's eyes scanned her lesser clothed body, a grin plastered on his face.
"You're a perv." Hayley laughed.
"Just looking." Alex defended, jumping into the water.
Hayley jumped in as well, coming up soaking wet. Her knee length shorts were now dripping and her black tank top was dripping just as badly.
Hayley pulled the elastic band that was holding her hair back, out and slid it onto her wrist. She shook her hair, letting the water droplets roll down her cheeks and nose, gathering at the tip and gracefully dripping back into the water.
She watched as Alex emerged from the water, grinning devilishly at her.
"Alex, no." Hayley said sternly.
"No what?" Alex laughed, stepping closer.
"I know what you're thinking, and I'm saying, don't." She replied, crossing her arms.
Alex let out a laugh before tackling her into the water. His arms wrapped around her waist as he pulled her farther out into the large body of water. She giggled, laughed, shrieked, and faught to get back on her feet. But Alex wouldn't let her go.
"You're a dork." Hayley laughed, messing with his hair. "I hate you."
"You love me." He said with a smirk.
"I guess so." She sighed. "You are my best friend after all. You're like a brother to me, Alex."
Alex cringed at the statement 'like a brother'. Girls don't date their brothers. Girls don't kiss their brothers. Girls don't give their brothers the type of affection they'd give their boyfriends, and Alex wanted Hayley to treat him like that. He wanted, right at that moment, to kiss her. But she didn't think of him that way, so he didn't want to ruin their friendship.
"Brother from another mother." Alex snickered, looking into Hayley's green-blue eyes.
"Are you calling me a boy, Mr. Gaskarth?" Hayley asked, placing her hands on her hips.
"You sure look like one to me." Alex laughed, watching as Hayley's facial expression changed to shock.
"That's it, I'm going to kill you." Hayley screamed to him, beginning to chase him around in the water.
Two hours later Alex looked down at his hands.
"Are you pruney enough yet, Hales?" He asked.
Hayley looked down at her wrinkly fingers.
"Yeah. Ready to go?" She asked. Alex nodded.
The two headed out of the water, stopping for ice cream and continuing to get on their bikes and ride home. By the time they reached the Gaskarth house, the sun was setting nicely.
"Wanna sit in my backyard and watch the sunset? I know how much you like that stuff." Alex asked.
Hayley nodded. They pulled the large wooden door ajar, walking in and closing it behind them. They followed the gray cinder block pathway to the back patio, sitting upon the hunter green couch swing. Alex sat on it, Hayley following behind him. They swung back and forth lightly, watching the clouds change from white to warm shades of pink and orange.
"Can you believe we're going to be in highschool?" Alex spoke up. "It doesn't seem like it was too long ago when we met."
Hayley thought for a moment, keeping her eyes on the sunset.
"I know. You still play that Gameboy." Hayley laughed. "They have newer ones, you know."
"I like my oldschool one. I don't even care that it's called Gameboy Pocket and doesn't fit in your pocket. I still love it. It's a trooper. I named it Timothy." Alex said, smiling crookedly down at Hayley.
Hayley laughed, resting her head on Alex's shoulder.
"That's one of the things I love about you, Alex. You can always make me laugh." Hayley whispered softly.
Alex ran his fingers through her slightly damp hair.
"I like making you laugh." Alex said soflty.
"Why?" Hayley asked.
"You have a cute laugh." Alex replied.
Hayley blushed, making sure Alex couldn't see her scarlett cheeks.
"You're such a charmer, Alex." She said to him.
"I try." Alex shrugged. "What else do you like about me, Hales?"
She thought for a moment.
"I like it how you always make me feel good about myself. I like it how you're really fun to hang out with. I like the stupid things you do and say. I like it how you never care what's cool, you do what you want. I like it when you sing to me, and I like being around you. You're my bestfriend and my brother, Alex. I'm lucky to have you." Hayley explained, looking up at him.
Alex grinned.
"That's really sweet Hales." Alex said softly.
Hayley giggled, "I try." She quoted him.
Alex snickered, "Want me to sing to you now?" He asked.
He felt Hayley's head nod on his shoulder. He smiled and thought of a song, beginning to sing the words.
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing Watch you smile while you are sleeping While youre far away dreaming I could spend my life in this sweet surrender I could stay lost in this moment forever Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure Dont want to close my eyes I dont want to fall asleep Cause Id miss you baby And I dont want to miss a thing Cause even when I dream of you The sweetest dream will never do Id still miss you baby And I dont want to miss a thing Lying close to you feeling your heart beating And Im wondering what youre dreaming Wondering if its me youre seeing Then I kiss your eyes And thank God were together I just want to stay with you in this moment forever Forever and ever Dont want to close my eyes I dont want to fall asleep Cause Id miss you baby And I dont want to miss a thing Cause even when I dream of you The sweetest dream will never do Id still miss you baby And I dont want to miss a thing I dont want to miss one smile I dont want to miss one kiss I just want to be with you Right here with you, just like this I just want to hold you close Feel your heart so close to mine And just stay here in this moment For all the rest of time Dont want to close my eyes I dont want to fall asleep Cause Id miss you baby And I dont want to miss a thing Cause even when I dream of you The sweetest dream will never do Id still miss you baby And I dont want to miss a thing Dont want to close my eyes I dont want to fall asleep I dont want to miss a thing
I Don't Want To Miss A Thing was one of Hayley's favorite songs. Ever since she had seen the movie Armagedon, she proclaimed the song her favorite, so naturally, Alex sang it to her.
He took a breath after finishing the last verse, looking down to see Hayley fast asleep. He ran his fingers through her hair, kissing her forehead lightly.
"I love you, Hayley." he whispered in such a quiet tone that it was almost inaudible to even him.
He took his sweater off, draping it over the two of them as he made himself comfortable and fell asleep.
