When I'm Gone ( Nate Maloley AU)

Chapter Thirty

Cameron's POV:

Nash kept it a secret from the others that she returned to California. Hayden's long brunette hair hangs in a high pony tail, and she's in a black dress. Since she left Nate, Hayden has not worn much makeup.

"Cam, I hate being stuck in here," she says turning towards the brown eyed boy.

She looked stunning in the simple outfit she wore. He smiles and stands, walking to the shorter girl, even though she stood in high heels. Her cheeks darkened in a red color.

"I'll invite them over. Just know that Nate will be here."

She nods and watches as he leans down and kisses her, holding her face in his hands. She pulls away and blushes madly before exiting the room to go and find Nash.

Since the day she left Nash and Hayden have become friends. Though he still hits on her every now and then.

Hayden's POV:

I plop down next to Nash on the sofa. His eyes are glued to the TV.

"Sam's gonna kill Cam."

"Nash, I can't stay locked up."

His blue eyes stare at me, and he leans down. His face level with mine.

"Nash, do not kiss me."

He smirks and leans down.

"You want to kiss me, Hayden. You kissed me when you were with Nate, you can do it now."

I shove Nash off. Cameron comes running down. His brown eyes stare at my blue ones. The four come through the door bring a couple more with them. I turn my head before Nate can see me.

"Why'd you call us here, Cam?" Nate asks cruelly.

I feel a hand on my shoulder. I stand and turn.

"Cameron, what the hell!" Sam says.

He grabs my wrists and brings Cameron and Nash in a different room. He shuts the door and turns to us.

"Hayden you can't be here!"

"Why not, Sam?"

"Because of Nate-"

The door opens and Nate leans against the doorframe.

"I need to speak with Hayden. Alone."

"No, Nate. After what-"

"Guys it's fine."

The three leave and Nate smirks. I run my hand through my hair. He grabs me by my waist and pulls me backwards. Nate's breath hits my neck.

"Let me go," I whisper.

"Why are you back, Hayden? No one wants you here. Your own brother," he laughs.

"Why do want to torture me, Nate! I- I don't understand why you hate me so much!"

"I don't hate you, Hayden. But you are so stupid. I'm pissed that I lost you to Cameron. Out of everyone, Cameron!"

"He was there when you weren't, Nate. So sorry for not sparing your feelings. You didn't spare mine."

Nate pulls me to him and kisses me. I push off of him.

"I did not do that to you, Nate. Don't do it to me."

"Listen to me, Hayden!"

"no, Nate. I am done with your fucking games. Just please leave me be."

I open the door only to have it slammed shut. I exhale and turn.

"Hayden-"

"Nate. I don't care about listening to what you have to say."

"You're such a bitch. Why won't you give me a fucking chance to explain my actions?"

I roll my eyes and open the door, and walking to Cameron. He looks at me and Nate emerges from the room. Obviously pissed. Cameron places his arm around me possessively, showing all the boys, except for Sam, that I'm his.

Cameron pulls me from the room and leans me against the wall. I smile at him as he moves the hair from my face.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah," I smile.

Cameron leans down and kisses me.

Nate's POV:

He watches as Cameron kisses her softly. He misses her. Nate messed that up a long time ago. Once they pull away, Hayden looks at Nate.

"Nate, it's time you go."

"You're right," he says not bothering to argue.

He stands and leaves. Knowing Hayden is watching intently. He needs to win her back no matter what it takes.

Authors note: hey, guys! I was wondering if y'all could do me a favor and check out my friend somanyrandompeople's story Nightmare before once. It would mean a lot to me, and her. -Dani
