Alicia and Haylie weren't dating? This news was probably the news that hit Fred hardest. Especially since Hayden was mentioning relationship stuff with her. Part of her wanted to hit him. Another part of her wanted to accept him. Another part of her wanted to get the fuck away from the situation. How the hell do people deal with things like this?
When he stepped forward she considered stepping back, but she had a tree behind her making that not a possibility. She looked into his eyes, and could see Haylie in there. Obviously she could. Hayden was Haylie. Which meant that no matter how Fred felt, Haylie had lied to her for years.
"Whatever," she said, attempting to sound uncaring even though she cared greatly. "Guess it doesn't really matter," she said with a shrug, "No more lying though." She wasn't entirely okay with any of this, but she could at least pretend for now. Maybe that made her just as bad.
