Hayden slammed her door and flopped down on the bed.
How could this happen? Everything in my life is so good, and getting better. Now it's all just pointless. she thought as she lay there crying. What about my friends? What about Brian?
She lay there for a few minutes,her only movement was her shaking shoulders as she cried.
Hayden Rose Matthews. Stop this right now. she told herself firmly. Everything is going to be okay. You are going to figure out how to make this work. Stop being such a baby. she said as she grabbed a tissue to wipe away the remaining tears.

Hayden finally calmed herself down and got into the shower.She stood under the showerhead for a while, washing all of her emotions away.
Once she was finished, she got changed into her pjs and quickly finished her homework. The formal was the day after tomorrow so she quickly finalized some details of her outfit, hair, and makeup.
Well, I'm finished with everything I think. Might as well see who is online.

She walked over to her computer and turned on the screen. She clicked on the sign on button and saw her buddy list pop up. As soon as she signed on, two boxes popped up. One from Brian, and one from her best friend Hayley.

Hayley and Hayden had been best friends since before they could remember.
Oh god. Hayden thought. How is Hayley going to take this?
Hayden decided that telling Hayley online wasn't such a good idea. She would tell her along with her other friends tomorrow at school.

She answered Hayley's instant message first.

Hayls247: HAY HAYDEN! haha whats goin on?
Haygirl1129: Hey hayls. Not too much. guess what? my mom is having a baby.
Hayls247: Hayden thats awesome! You must be really excited!
Haygirl1129: Yeah.. Hayls I have something else to tell you but I want to tell you in person, so I'm going to tell you at school tomorrow okay?
Hayls247: Okay. Are you okay hayden? You're kind of worrying me.
Haygirl1129: Yeah I'm okay. Don't worry. I guess I'm gonna talk to Brian really quick and then I'm gonna go to bed. The game today wore me out.
Hayls247: Well it's definitely understandable that you are tired. You played an awesome game today Hayden. I'll see you tomorrow, love ya lots! xoxo
Haygirl1129: Thanks. Bye love you too Hayls.

Once that was finished, she clicked to Brian's box.

Bryguy27: Hey Hayden
Haygirl1129: Hey Brian. Sorry it took me so long to answer. I was talking to Hayls for a minute.
Bryguy27: It's all good. Are you excited for the formal on Friday? I'm sure you are going to be the most gorgeous girl there.
Haygirl1129: Aw thanks Bry. Yeah I can't wait. You excited for our date on Saturday?
Bryguy27: DUH!
Haygirl1129: haha awesome. I'm excited for that too. Bry I have to talk to you about something tomorrow after I tell Hayley. Wait for me after homeroom?
Bryguy27: Definitely.
Haygirl1129: okay good. Well I'm going to go. I'm so worn out. Talk to you tomorrow.
Bryguy27: Okay see you tomorrow. Bye Hayden.
Haygirl1129: Bye Bryan.
Once she signed off, she flipped off the computer screen and climbed into bed. She tried to figure out what she was going to say to each of them. It was going to be hard telling all of her friends she was moving, but it was going to be the hardest to tell Bryan and Hayley. She was positive Hayley was going to cry. That's just how Hayley was, which was going to make telling her even harder. And Bryan, she didn't know what to expect. They had been close for years, but she still didn't have a clue how Bryan would react.
After thinking for a while, Hayden finally turned over and went to sleep.
