While Hayden was trying to think of a way to lure Constance to the house, in the back of her mind a voice kept nagging at her.
"I bet you like him…No, I think you are in love with him!"
"SHUT UP!" Hayden screamed to the voice.
"What did I do?" Fiona asked.
"Nothing dumb ass, I wasn't talking to you!"
"But there is nobody else here…" Fiona pointed out confused.
"Never-mind, I'm going to get some air."
….
Even though the ghosts were cursed to an eternity in the house, they could still stay on the lawn since it was part of the premises. When things got really tough, she liked to come outside and think. Whenever she saw a couple pushing a stroller outside, she wished more then anything that that could have been her. And then there was the gazebo, just looking at it made her eye tear up. The back of her head still hurt just thinking about that shovel.
And Ben…he actually buried her there. He never even brought her to a hospital, or cried for her…he just cried for the fact that he had to deal with the body. He never even wanted their baby. Had he even ever loved it? She knew the answer….
How could he have felt absolutely nothing when she had a life growing inside of her.
And then there was Tate…just thinking about him made her smile. His blonde hair, his dark eyes….
When she was with Ben she felt like trash, like she was unwanted. But, with Tate she felt like someone understood her pain. She felt complete. At least there was someone else out there who got screwed over by those damn Harmons…
Could Dallas be right? Was she in love with Tate? The only thing she did know is that what she felt certainly wasn't hate….
But Tate would never take her back. He hated her, he said so. But maybe, just maybe, if she told him how she felt he would understand. For the first time in months she didn't feel like Hayden the crazy bitch, she just felt like Hayden.
Her heart started pounding so fast that she couldn't control herself, she had to tell him. She started running toward the house, just hoping that for once the guy would choose her over a Harmon.
…
"Is there any way you can stop her?" Vivien asked Tate. They had been talking for an hour about Hayden's plan. So far they had no ideas.
"You know what, Tate?" Ben said angrily. "We are not asking you to fix this, we are TELLING you. I think you owe us, don't you? Get your ass out of that chair and go fix this."
"DAD!" Violet snapped. "This isn't something you can just fix with scolding him and telling the principal, this is some serious shit! Hayden is a crazy bitch! We all know it, remember that Halloween?"
Vivien shuddered just remembering it.
"This can't just be fixed with yelling at her, we need to kick her ass and give her the message not to mess with us!"
"Vi-"
"She's right, Ben." Vivien interrupted. "We've all witnessed first hand what she can do. She practically drove me to the nut house."
"You were very fragile then, you were full of hormones from your pregnancy…." Ben face started turning red with anger remembering that it wasn't just his child she was carrying.
"Look, I'll do whatever you want. I want to stop this too…." Tate said. "And that's exactly what I'm going to do." He continued as he got up and walked away.
"Dad! Look what you did!" Violet yelled.
"He did this, he should be the one who fixes it." Ben said, obviously he wasn't going to budge.
…
Hayden's heart was racing; she hadn't felt this way since her first time with Ben. Even then she wasn't sure if she was this exited.
Then, in the hallway she saw him. She wouldn't miss those blonde curls anywhere.
"Tate!" she yelled.
"Hayden….." Tate muttered.
"I need to tell you something, it's important." Hayden said out of breath.
"Good. Because I need to tell you something, and I am going to make it short and sweet because I don't ever want to have to see you ever again."
Hayden's heart instantly sunk, worse then the Titanic.
"You need to stop whatever shit you're up to, I'm trying to get Violet back and you're making that pretty difficult. She already doesn't trust me, and now I'll have to try twice as hard to get her to."
"Okay…"
"Good. And if you as much as just try as to start that shit again, I'll make you wish you never even died."
As Tate walked away, Hayden suddenly felt sick to her stomach, but then she felt a spark of anger. She wasn't going to leave the Harmons alone, she was going to make them suffer even more…and Tate was going down with them.
