I thought I was invincible

Chapter 15

Aaron answered his phone.
He put it on speaker so we could hear.
"Hello?" Aaron said
"Hey Aaron"
"What do you want Hanna?"
"I-I just wanted to talk to you about something"
"What?"
"Are you mad? You sound mad"
"No I'm not, sorry I'm just tired. what did you want to talk about?"
"I wanted to say again that I'm sorry and I wanted to ask if maybe we could...."
"No" Aaron said
"But I-"
"No Hanna we already talked about this, we're not getting back together. we're done"
"But Aaron it was just one kiss..."
"It doesn't matter Hanna, it's the fact that you did it at all"
"this is all Nicolette's fault" Hanna mumbled but we all heard her.
"No it's not" Aaron looked at me.
"If she had minded her own business then we would still be together"
"Well then I'm glad she didnt, because then id be with a cheater"
Hanna sighed
"I have to go" Aaron said.
"Are you alright?" I asked him when he hung up the phone.
"Yeah I'm fine but she's probably really mad at us now" He looked at me when he spoke.
"I know" I said. Cam rubbed my arm to comfort me.
Cam and I hung out with Aaron for awhile, waiting for Skylar to contact us, but she never did. Cam invited Aaron and I over for dinner but Aaron had soccer, so he couldn't go. I was actually kind of glad that Aaron couldn't go because I wanted some alone time with Cameron.
"Hi Nicolette!!" His mom greeted us when we walked in to the kitchen.
"Hi" I said
"Hey mom" Cameron added.
"Dinners ready, pasta. are you two hungry?"
"starving" I said
Cameron nodded.
"Great! Cameron will you get your sister?"
Cam nodded and then yelled
"Mackenzieeee!!! It's dinner timeee!!!"
"I meant go walk upstairs and get her, not scream, I could have done that"
"So why didn't you?"
Cams mom rolled her eyes and laughed. Mackenzie came running down the stairs In a navy blue crop top and a white skirt.
"I like your outfit, Mackenzie" I told her
"Thanks Nicolette, I like yours too!"
"Thank you" I said.
Mackenzie's in the 6th grade, going in to 7th, she's 12.
Mackenzie sat down across from me, and next to her mother. Cam and I sat beside each other on the opposite side of the table.
"What did you get on your math exam? you never told me" Cams mom asked him.
"264" he said.
"Out of?"
"280, but it's still an A"
"A-" I corrected him
He smiled.
"That's great!" His mom said, "what about you Nicolette?"
"I got 271"
"Wow" she said
cam looked at me, "she's really smart" he said "that's one of the reasons that I love her"
"Because she's smarter than you?" Mackenzie asked
"Yeah" Cam said. Cam was staring at me and I bit my lip. He always thought it was cute when I did that.
"awwww" Mackenzie said.
"Kenzie, help me with the dishes?" Her mom said.
"alright" she said.
They cleared the table while Cam and I went to his room. He sat on the chair by his window and patted his lap
for me to come sit.
"I'm too heavy" I said
"No your not" he argued.
I rolled my eyes and sat on his right leg. He kissed me and then I kissed him. I slid down beside him, so I wasn't on his lap anymore.
"I love you" he said
"I love you too" I said.
We were about to kiss again but his phone rang. "Aren't you gonna get that?" I asked
"No it's fine" he leaned in.
"Cam it's okay, answer it"
Cam reached over to his nightstand and picked up his phone. I couldn't hear what he was saying for a second but then he put it on speaker. "hey Nash" he said.
I tensed up. "hey" Nash said.
"Um, what's up?" Cam asked
"Not much, I was just calling to see if you could send me something that I left in the treehouse"
Cameron, his mom, my mom, and I built a treehouse in between both of our yards on the last day of school of 2nd grade. It was right before my mom died. I hung out up there a lot after she died, Cam would always ask if he could come up there with me and I always said yes. He would climb up the latter and sit right next to me on the windowsill, well there was no window, just a hole with a curtain. He would rub my back but neither of us would say a word. When Cameron and Nash became friends in 3rd grade, Nash thought I was weird. I didn't really blame him though because one time I was in the treehouse and Nash and Cam came up. Cam tried talking to me but I just kept saying "leave. leave". That night Cam told me that Nash had said I was weird because I was always sad and quiet but cam kept telling him that I wasnt. Nash argued with him and Cameron punched him in the nose. Nash's nose started bleeding but he didn't hit Cam back. Cam yelled "Her mom died"
"So?" Nash said
"Nicolette's dad killed her" Then Cam walked away. Cameron apologized for telling Nash what my dad had done because he knew that I didn't want anyone to know. I told him that I would've done the same thing. That week, Nash apologized and we've been best friends ever since. He was completely surprised when I got really upbeat and bubbly because I guess he thought that I was depressed all of the time but Cam told him that I was usually always bubbly and that I was just quiet when I was sad.
"Alright, so what do you need?" cam asked
"I'm pretty sure that I left a journal in the secret floorboard, and I need you to get it and send it to me but please don't read it"
"Okay I won't and I'll send it as soon as I can"
"Thanks"
"No problem"
Cam hung up the phone and looked at me.
"What do you think he wrote in that journal?"
"I know what he wrote"
"You do? What?"
"I can't tell you" He said.
