After cancelling his dinner plans, which he had completely forgotten about as they were made weeks before Kris' schedule to move in. Hayden went to hang up the phone when he accidently received a mass text message announcing that his ex, Karen and his ex-best friend Leonard were expecting their first born son.<br/><br/>The surprise at the text message caused him to drop his phone almost breaking it. Stunned as his mind turned back to that night when he found out she was leaving him for Leo. The pain and the way she had addressed him, via a videotape recording, because she couldn't bear to break up with him in person. It was easy for her to disappear, Leo had the money and resources as they both left the small town of Lawerance, Kansas leaving Hayden a devastated mess. Over and over again he watched that tape. That tape that he was caught watching as he stood sentinel and stoic staring at his television screen when Kris walked in on him. <br/><br/>She had already heard the news via her cousin, Chrissy, the girl was friends with Hayden and everyone in Lawerance, Kansas always the gossip queen she had clued Kris in on what she had heard. That Karen had shacked up with Leo. So upon spotting Hayden and opening the door to his farm house (without knocking as she was always in and out of there) he turned to her giving her a painful smile through watery eyes and attempted to act as if nothing had happened. But the pain in Kris' eyes at seeing this stoic, man in such agony made her rush towards him and fling her arms around him in a hug. <br/><br/>Hayden in that moment let down his guard and hugged her back so close, burying his face in her shoulder and let the silent tears flow the pain in his face his heart crying out for the loss he had just had. But Kris was there, his Charlie. The girl who he teased and she teased right back. The girl that people swore up and down they liked each other. Hayden wouldn't have admitted it but in that moment, he really did like her for doing this for him. The silence between them as they sat and just watched a random movie. Hayden didn't snug her afterwards but their bodies were touching shoulder to shoulder as they sat and watched the television screen in silence. Grateful for the woman. <br/><br/>And now as he stared at his phone on the floor and those memories came flooding back. Hayden, the much older and wiser man felt the pain in his heart but frowned in thought glad he had literally dodged a bullet with Karen. He did try in that moment to be angry instead of upset, but as he picked up the phone and saw the image of her grinning as Leo had his arms wrapped around her belly; he felt violently ill. Maybe it was the fact that Karen was rubbing it in his face? Maybe she didn't realize she had his number still. In that moment Hayden wanted to fling the phone against the locker room and opt to purchase a new one in the morning with a new number. <br/><br/>Yet he didn't delete the message instead, he picked up his car keys and exited the gym. Stopping on the way to Charlie's house at a local Chinese restaurant he liked to order take-out from, ordering a few containers of food. The entire time the man was holding back the tears. Holding back the pain and had yet to express what he was really feeling. Finally, he arrived, to the staff Apartments on Campus a place he also lived in the majority of the school year. Finding his spot he parked and shut the keys from the ignition. Sighing as his blue eyes caught sight of the moving truck parked near the entrance. Resting his head a slight moment on the steering wheel he shut his eyes and mentally tried to rid his mind of his thoughts emptying it to put on a neutral and relaxed face. Least Charlie think he didn't want to be here helping her. This was her night, he was here to help her. He was such a terrible friend in that moment feeling sorry for himself. <br/><br/>Breathing in sharply he lifted his head and exited the door, bag of Chinese food in hand. As he made his way to the apartment number, he had to do a double-take because he only just realized she was stationed right next door to him when he knocked. Putting on a brave face and hiding the food behind his back as he knocked and she opened the door. He went to smile but it faded when he saw her. Holding out the bag of food as he walked in and closed the door behind them. It took him a moment to turn around, he was trying his hardest to not show it. To put on a smile and to pretend as if nothing happened. But as he turned that look in his eyes and the attempt at trying not to show his pain showed. He swallowed hard and blinked a tear escaping as he leaned against the door and turned his head to look in the direction of the living room. Avoiding eye contacting with Charlie. Charlie who he was suppose to be helping, Charlie who had just moved to a new city and didn't know anyone. Charlie who had seen him go through his pain in the pass the same song and dance with the same girl. Fuck. He felt so foolish now. Biting his lip to hold it all back. <br/></span></span>
