Chapter 8

2073 Words
Hailey's POV After Magcon, we went off stage and Nash grabbed my arm. "Everyone to our room. Now." We all sprinted to the hotel, but I went straight past it, purposely. Blake and Hunter followed me. "I heard there is supposed to be a park around here." We ran to the park and climbed a tree. I sat there staring at the ground. "So, why did you run?" "I'm afraid." Blake rubbed my back while Hunter held my hand. "I want to tell them. I just don't want my life to go back to what it was. And H-hayes is being hated by Will and Nash, and I don't like seeing Hayes hurt. Ever since we were kids, I have hated seeing Hayes get hurt. When he cries, he gets green flecks of color in his eyes. Truthfully he looks like a puppy, but that's not the point." I sighed deeply. "I'm waiting for the right time. And the right place."  I pulled out my phone and texted Cameron. I told him to get everyone to the Taco Bell across from the park. He replied with a quick 'okay'. We waited in the tree until we saw the boys. We went over to the Taco Bell and waited until they actually got there. "Why are you guys acting like you're afraid of Nash?" "We have to follow under Nash's rule. If we don't, he's gonna post a bunch of stuff from our past that will make our fans hate us. None of us want that to happen." "Speaking of my rules." Nash said pushing Cameron out of the way. I grabbed his hand before he fell into the road. I pulled him to safety. "Blake. Hunter. Hailey." Nash said with a sweet voice. "ACT YOUR AGE!" He barked, causing us to jump. Hunter pulled me to his side as Blake stepped in front of us. He started yelling at Blake, saying he's stupid, he should just quit Magcon and the same goes for the rest of us. I looked around and saw a bunch of fans inside. I had Hunter sneak inside and get their attention and tell them to exit the building and follow him around the building and start recording.  Once they were recording behind the boys, I put a slightly crying Blake behind me. Nash then slapped me. I clutched my cheek. "HUNTER! BLAKE! I'M DONE!" I screamed, causing the windows on the Taco Bell behind us to shatter. Perfect affect. Nash slapped me again. "You just need to quit Magcon and make everyone else's life easier and go die." Blake helped me up because the slap was so hard. "You wanna know what Nash?! I tried! I cut ever since that day! I'm sorry that I want to act younger than I am because my childhood was stripped away from me by monsters. I know you are on edge because you lost you little sister 9 months ago. WELL YOU KNOW WHAT?! MY NAME IS HAILEY NICOLETTE GRIER!" I rolled up my sleeves. I heard all the boys gasp. "EVERY SINGLE NIGHT AFTER SCHOOL YOU AND WILL CAME HOME FROM SCHOOL, YOU WOULD VERBALLY ABUSE ME. YOU CALLED ME A SLUT, A EMO, A w***e, A HOE, UGLY, FAT, A NERD, A FREAK, A USELESS MISTAKE! IT DIDN'T MATTER WHERE, IT WAS ANYWHERE EVEN IF YOUR PARENTS WERE THERE! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE TRIED TO KILL MYSELF IN THE PAST 10 YEARS! YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ME!" "I plenty of things about you." Nash yelled. "OH SO YOU KNEW THAT I CUT I WAS A CUTTER BECAUSE I WAS DEPRESSED? YOU KNEW WHO MY FAVORITE BANDS WERE EVEN THOUGH YOU BROKE DOWN OVER THE PHONE IN THE HOSPITAL WHEN CAMERON CALLED ASKING WHAT MY FAVORITE BANDS WERE?! YOU KNEW THAT I WAS BEAT UP EVERY DAY AT SCHOOL, THEN VERBALLY ABUSED AT HOME?! YOU KNEW THAT I GOT ACCEPTED INTO THE THE JUILLIARD MUSIC SCHOOL IN NEW YORK CITY BUT I COULDN'T GO BECAUSE I WOULD BE BEATEN BY EVERYONE IN OUR FAMILY?! YOU KNEW THAT I TRIED TO TAKE MY OWN LIFE! I HAVE TRIED TO TAKE MY OWN LIFE SINCE I WAS 5 YEARS OLD?! FIRST TIME, WAS THE DAY AFTER WE TURNED 5. I WENT TO THE RIVER, FILLED EACH POCKET WITH ROCKS, THEN WALKED STRAIGHT IN. SECOND TIME, 7 YEARS OLD. I TRIED TO HANG MYSELF FROM THE CEILING FAN BUT HAYES CUT ME DOWN BEFORE I COULD EVEN BLACK OUT! I LOST COUNT AFTER THAT! THAT'S HOW MUCH I'VE TRIED TO DIE!" I punched Nash in the face two times until he fell to the ground. "Hailey, I've always cared about you." Hayes said trying to come closer to me. I pushed him away. "Oh you've always cared about. I know you are lying right through your teeth." I hissed. "If you actually cared you wouldn't have verbally abused me, then later go on to physically abuse me. If you actually cared, why am I living with R5 and not you?" I noticed that everyone's eyes were on me. Hayes was crying, Nash was crying.  I just started running. I ran to the basketball park. A guy about my age was there. "Hey, you okay?" "Not really." I saw a really cute boy. He had brown hair and either brown or blue eyes. "Here." He tossed me the basketball and I caught it. "Basketball and clear the mind." I made it from the free throw line. "Not bad." He said as he made a three pointer. "Not too bad yourself." "I'm Zach Herron." "Hailey Nicole." "I know that's not your last name." Zach said as I made a half court shot, then made it. "I'm actually Hailey Nicolette Grier. You'll probably hear about me on the news later." "Why?" "Oh yea know." I said as I made a three pointer. "Told of my brother in front of his fans. Shattered the windows at Taco Bell from screaming." "Wait that was you?!" "Yea that's was me." He high fived me. "Wait, I know you. Magcon right? I was their show today. You sang Something Big by Shawn Mendes." "Yea." "Do you know the song I know what you did last summer?" "Yea." "Will you do a duet with me, right now?" "Sure I'd love too."  Zach has the cutest smile ever. He smile makes me melt like a Popsicle on the fourth of July. His smile is adorable. I made one more basket as he sat down on the bench. He grabbed his guitar and tuned it. "So are you single?" Zach asked me. "Single and I'm ready for a Pringle." I stated with a giggle. "You're adorable." "Thanks."  "Ah Hey-ey Ah, ah Ah Hey-ey Ah, ah [Hailey:] He knows Dirty secrets that I keep Does he know it's killing me? He knows, he knows D-d-does he know Another's hands have touched my skin I won't tell him where I've been He knows, he knows, he knows [Zach & Hailey:] It's tearing me apart She's slipping away (I'm slipping away) Am I just hanging on to all the words she used to say?

Boys that showed up at the basketball park gather around us. When we were done, they started clapping. "What's your names?" "I'm Hailey." "I'm Zach." "Are you two a couple." "No, I just met him 10 minutes ago." "I'm Kian, that's Jc, Sam, Ricky, Trevor and Conner." "Nice to meet you." We played basketball for a while. We all exchanged numbers then we heard a scream. "HAILEY! WHERE ARE YOU?" I ran to where the crying was and saw Skylynn in a pool of blood in the road, with Hayes laying beside her. I looked up and saw my parents with a smug look on their faces. The ambulance came and took them away. "Hailey?" Blood was coming from the marks I left in my hands. "You did this to her." "What?" "YOU DID THIS TO YOUR OWN 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER!" I shouted drawing a crowd. "IF ANYONE DESERVES TO DIE, ITS YOU!" I screeched the last part to get a point across. "You people deserve to die for what you've done! To Hailey. To Hayes and to your 6 year old daughter, who is probably fighting for her life." Will yelled. "YOU HAVE NO ROOM TO SPEAK!" I barked at Will. "You were part of this. You abused me along with the whole family. You all deserve to go to jail." I spat before walking towards the hospital. Everything went black after I heard a loud crash.
