Cross- Roads: What To Choose Love Or Friendship

When they heard Hayley wants to talk to four of them, they were somewhat surprised. Four of them entered Keith's study trailing behind Hayley.

"I want to Know each and everything about Jeremy that you guys knows and I also wants to know what he did to four of you and how you guys countered his every move" Hayley said the moment they entered the room. Four of them were shocked was an understatent they were beyond shocked.

Aaron was first one to understand what his beloved wanted to know so he thought he should start the story and rest can add later their pieces in between.

"I was present in Jeremy and Rachel's wedding. I must add I am not there to attend wedding but to stop it but then Rachel came to me and begged me not to do it and..." he trailed off. Hayley raised an eyebrow at him in suspicious manner and asked "And What?" Aaron gulped he didn't know why he wasn't able to tell Hayley what Happened next. Tyler could see his friend struggling so he spoke up "They both kissed or I say make out sort of and Jeremy saw it"

"They did what?" Keith, Caleb and Hayley cried in unison. Keith and Caleb never knew about this it was only Tyler. Even Tyler knew about it because he witnessed it.

"So that is why Jeremy is so pissed at you" Keith said looking towards Aaron. Aaron bowed his head , "And he kept coming at Aaron because of that and then he targeted us because we were trying to save Aaron" Caleb added.

After this clarification there were lots of discussion about how Jeremy always try to attack Samuel tryst and all. Hayley started to have a headache, she didn't know loving someone can be this eventful.

She got seated on nearby chair and said "We have to help Jeremy to win Rachel's love." Pin drop silence... not even breathing sound could be heard. Hayley head was about to blast now what did she said to gain this kind of reaction from these guys.

Considering their shocked expression as their denial for help, she got up from her seat and started to move towards door she stopped in front of door and without glancing back said "its fine if you guys don't want to help, but i promised him that I'll help him, so no matter what i will." When four of them heard that they came out from their shocked state and said "We'll help you out". Hayley turned towards them her eyes sparking this thing turn heart of four of them into mush. Keith came towards her and patted her head lovingly and said "Do you think I will let you go to Lion's Den alone , Little Birdy?"

Hayley smiled, and looked at Keith and rest, she somewhat knew before entering this room these guys will stand by her side no matter what.

Once they came out from the study, they all headed towards their own destination. Hayley wants to return back to her apartment but Aunt Sarah sternly refused and said no matter what she will stay there in front of her. Hayley admitted defeat and thought she should stay at Scott Mansion for this week.

She was standing in mansion garden suddenly she felt pair of hands encircling around her waist. Knowing who was embracing her she eased back in his embrace. She missed him and right now she wanted to be comforted by him. Aaron never expected Hayley to react this way he thought that she will be angry at him or accuse him but she was accepting his hug. Still he needed to apologise because of him and his past she was in danger, "Sorry, because of me you had to suffer." Hayley turn to face him and smiled at him "Aaron, loving someone doesn't include you have to only love his or her good side, you have embrace their bad side. If you enjoy their present you have to deal with their past too, and i am up to deal with your past if you stay by my side."

After hearing this Aaron eyes turned misty and he suddenly placed a peck on Hayley's lip and then he kissed her forehead and hugged her tightly. " I'll always stand by your side, love" he solemnly vowed to her. "We have to help them"Hayley said while enjoying being hugged. Aaron exactly knew whom she referring too "Of course we help them" he answered while lovingly placing another kiss on her forehead.
