Double Date
Sitting at home trying to relax Bradin took a sip of his lemonade, but it wasn't working. "Damn it" he sighed turning off the TV and laying his head backwards. He felt his phone vibrate so taking it out of his pocket he didn't even check who it was but answered.
"Hello" he heard a familiar voice.
"Hey Mike...what's up" one of his friends from school called. "Hey you want to go out tonight with me my date and I have a girl for you too" he heard his friend laugh. Thinking about it he nodded then remembered his friend couldn't see him.
"Yeah sure, where at" after he got direction he got into his car and left.
Wondering who the mystery girl he finally made it there and saw Mike standing there with 2 girls. His jaw dropped when he saw who Mike's date was. "Hey Hayden this is Bradin-"he was cut off. "We met" they looked at each other but either said anything or smiled.
"I see ok well this is Jessica, she's a junior, she swims and runs track and she's one of Hayden's friends…Jessie this is Bradin" they shook hands. "Hey nice to meet you" she smiled. "You too"
They chose to finally see a movie and during the movie Bradin ended up sitting between Hayden and Jessica. Jessie turned out to be really cool but he liked Hayden a lot and didn't know how to tell her or get her to tell him the truth.
"I'm going to get popcorn and drinks…anyone want to come" no one moved. As soon as she got up Bradin got up and followed her.
"Bradin, when I said someone I didn't mean you" he sighed, "I know I'm not your favorite person but can we talk please" she rolled her eyes, "What do you want and make it fast" he looked down then back at her.
"I'm not a jerk I promise please don't look at me like that, I really like you Hayden and I want to be you friend" she sighed, "Well I don't like you" he nodded, "I get that but can't we be friends" she shrugged, "Maybe prove that you're not a jerk and I'll consider it" he rolled his eyes as she took the drinks and walked away.
He hated that she hated him and hated that his life was turning upside down and that this was a bunch of bullshit now. He talked to Jessica and held her hand since he noticed that she liked him but he still wanted Hayden, if anything wanted her to know that he cared and that she wasn't just another girl to him but she was special.
After the movie they decided that they'd go eat and he knew Jessica liked him a lot and wanted to go out with him but he didn't think he'd ask her out. Walking down to the restaurant they had decided he took her hand and tried to forget that Hayden was there and nothing else besides her mattered.
"So that movie was a waste of 8 bucks" Mike laughed. Jessica and Hayden joined in and so did Bradin, talking about the movie. They thought that it would be awkward but it turned out fine since they all ended up talking and laughing.
"Yeah it was I mean come on that was SO fake!" Jessie laughed referring to the scenes of destruction and basically anything else in the movie. When they sat down to eat Jessica sat down and waited for Bradin to sit beside her.
He slid into the little booth right beside her and Hayden sat directly across from him since Mike went in first. Looking up at her every few seconds he hoped she didn't notice and she didn't seem to.
"I'm going to go outside for a little while, I'll be back in a minute" he said after he finally realized he couldn't take the pressure around him anymore. Feeling like everything was on his shoulders he didn't want to sit where he was anymore.
He walked down the sidewalk and breathed in the cool air and it felt so good. Only hearing the sound of his shoes against the cement, he knew he was alone. Looking down the beach he saw Spanish Cove, he remembered Callie and Sarah, yes he missed them but right now he wanted to be with Hayden, and not like that.
He wanted to feel her in his arms and kiss her and hold her. The wind blew a little scattering his hair into his eyes but he kept walking ignoring it. Suddenly, he heard shoes coming up behind him, sounded like they were running. Quickly turning around he saw Hayden standing there with her jacket wrapped around her.
"Hey are you ok" she smiled, he shrugged, why did she all of the sudden care? "Yeah why are you here Hayden, go back to Mike" she looked down and he noticed how beautiful she was, the wind blew her hair all over her face but she ignored it and looked back up at him.
"I want to show you something" she turned around and started walking, waiting for him to follow her. "Uhh…ok" a little confused by her sudden change of heart he followed her back past the restaurant and walked into the Ice Rink. "Why are we here" she shushed him.
"I'll show you in a bit" she walked inside and held the door open, grabbing it he let her go in and followed her inside. Once inside she dropped her coat, and suddenly started pulling off her clothes.
Curious by what she was doing he looked at her and saw that under she had her skating outfit. "You said you're teaching me right" she smiled. "Just because you can't coach doesn't mean you can't teach me" he pulled off his jacket and went into the back, got a pair of ice skates and got out onto the ice.
The outfit she had was a frilly skirt and a top with no sleeves, the colors were reflected in the dark and the shiny makeup she had from the date made it light up even more. "You're so beautiful" he whispered but not to her, in fact he didn't want her to hear it. "Thank you" he heard her whisper back.
A little shocked he felt himself blush and looking at her saw that she was blushing. "Ok what's first coach" she winked making a few circles around the rink. "Ok I want you to try something" he did it and showed her a new jump.
"I can't do that" she laughed. "Yeah you can, come on" she smiled and was about to do it after gaining some speed but didn't and stopped before the jump. "Ok how about I catch you if you mess up" she smiled and nodded, "Ok I guess…" a little unsure she did it again but landed perfectly, on one foot and spun around to keep her balance.
"Aw you did it…but I wanted you in my arms" he smiled stepping in the way so that she spun directly into his arms. He held her waist and lifted her up, spinning her along with him so that her skirt was twirling almost completely.
"Westerly, you are such a flirt" she laughed a little but then stopped laughing after noticing that he was looking at her, straight in the eyes. Looking back she saw how sincere he was, how much he honestly liked her. His green eyes sparkled and she noticed how adorable he was behind the looks part, but he was honestly really cute.
Tilting her head a little more down, she met his lips. She had her hands on his shoulders and he still held her up in the air by her waist. "You are amazing" she said, finally telling the truth and admitting how much she loved being in his arms and how much she cared for him.
He put her down and kissed her back, not knowing exactly what was going on but he liked it. "This isn't right Hayden, you're with Mike" he pulled away and licked his lips. "No I'm not" she said shaking her head. "Mike is a cool friend, but I don't like him" Bradin smiled.
"Yeah, but I like Jessica, I need to go" he was sick of how much she changed her mind and wanted her to know what it felt like to be burned down like she burned him so many times. In fact, he liked Clarissa, taking out his phone he dialed her number. After he sat in his car he saw Hayden standing behind the car, tears pouring down her cheeks despite her desperate effort to keep the from coming.
He still had feelings for her, no doubt, but didn't like being used and didn't like how she suddenly thought he waited around for her to change her mind, he was better then that. Instead of opening the door and running to her he put his hand on the window, closed it and put the car in gear, and as quickly as possible, drove down the road, leaving Hayden alone.
When he was about 10 feet past he looked into his rearview mirror, and nothing in his life ever hurt him more then watching Hayden collapse onto the floor in tears, dropping to her knees onto her back and her beautiful hair falling over her face.
"Goodbye Hayden" he sighed, tilting his mirror and ignoring her, and headed down the long, unlit highway.
