My Only Hope

Chapter 33

I woke up and grabbed my phone and had some texts.
Nate: hey, I'm glad things were okay between us:) I'm really sorry for the other night also. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable or lash out on you.
L- it's fine, I'm just glad we can be friends :) xx

Eyebrows👀: it's 3 am and you can change a diaper much better than I can come over😭😂
L- well it's 10 am now and no.

Johnson🙈🙊: hey I was thinking after the cake tasting that you might wanna come over? It's been lonely without G around😩
L- sure haha😂 at least you aren't summoned at 3 am to change diapers.
Johnson🙈🙊: great! And summoned at 3am to change diapers.
L- yes. That is correct.
Johnson🙈🙊: fun😂
L- yes very

I locked my phone and got out of bed.
"You have an hour and a half" I hear sam yell through my door. I take a shower and blow dry my hair and curled it.
I put on a black and pink fit and flare dress that went just above my knees and black flats. I did foundation, concealer, powder, blush, highlighter, eyeliner mascara, filled my eyebrows, and put on my favorite pink lipgloss.
"I'm ready" I saw walking downstairs.
"Okay let's go" sam says. He was wearing a black button up dress shirt and jeans. It was apparently 'mandatory' to be fancy for cake tastings.
We get in the car and drive to Jack and Sadies.
We get there and see everyone's cars. We're always the last to show up.
We get out and the bakery truck pulls up. Everyone was dressed nicely.
"Lilly I love your dress!" Sadie says
"Thankyou" I smile. There's a knock on the door and sadie opens it and let them in. It was three guys holding a box in each hand.
We go to the table and they set the boxes down.
"So we have plenty of options for you guys, you can also request for different fillings or no fillings, icing and everything" the man says.
First he pulls out a white cake.
"This is our classic vanilla white cake" he says and we all get some and eat it.
Next we try a cocoanut cake, blackberry, chocolate rasberry, and many others.
"I really liked the white rasberry" sadie says.
"Yeah that one was amazing" I agree.
"Yeah I think we're going for white rasberry" gilinsky says.
"Okay we will do that, and we will see you tomorrow for planning the style and everything" the guys says. They pack up and leave.
"Thank you everyone I would have never been able to choose on my own" sadie says.
"You ready to go?" Sam asks
"Actually I'm goin to hang it with johnson" I say
"Okay just text me" he says and leaves.
"Down to a week!" I shriek hugging sadie.
"I know!" She says.
"Well I'm going to go" I say and say bye to everyone. And walk out to johnsons car.
"So how've you been?" He asks as he drives away.
"Better I guess" I say
"This wedding pretty stressful huh?" He asks
"Yeah I mean i love sadie and Jack and all but it just is kinda a lot" I say
"Yeah I get it" he says.
We get to his house which I haven't been to in a while. It felt so empty with all of gilinskys stuff not there.
"I'm gunna pee" I say and go up to the bathroom. Me and jack were so close it didn't matter if I said I had to pee.
*jacks pov*
"I'm gunna pee" lilly says.
"Mkay" I say and she heads to the bathroom leaving her phone.
Ding
Ding
Ding
After three times I had to see who it was.
Jacob? Who the hell is Jacob?
Jacob: hey you back from the cake tasting yet?:)
Jacob: now I'm craving cake.
Jacob: see what you do!😂
I hear the bathroom door open and set her phone down where it was before.
"So how has it been having the place to yourself?" She asks grabbing her phone and laughing a little at it.
"Well I mean it's a lot quieter, kinda miss having G around" I say.
"Yeah I know how you feel" she says
"How?" I ask and then I realize how cameron just up and left. "Oh yeah. Sorry" I say.
"Yeah I'm sorry I keep bringing him up its just kinda hard" she says
"You know you can talk to me about it, you used to tell me everything..." I say sadly at how much we've grown apart
"I know I just don't want to talk about it" she frowns
*camerons pov*
I told mandy I wanted to see her today. I headed over to her house and knocked on the door. Once she opened it smelled strong of alcohol and perfume.
"Come on in" she says
"No, I just came to say one thing" I say and she raises one eyebrow.
"You took everything from me, my friends, my job, my girlfriend. I felt like I had to do everything you said to keep lilly emotionally stable. But me leaving her probably was the worst thing I could do for her mental state. I don't care if you come after us. I'm going back for her. Go ahead and try to ruin her life. But with me helping her you can't do anything. I promise you that" I say
"You're making a bad decision" she glares.
"Yeah I don't think I am" I say.
"You'll see what you've done" she says slamming the door shut.
I felt really proud of myself. I walked back to my car and drove home. I was so happy and About in tears at the thought of seeing lilly again.
"Did you do it?!" Nash asks jumping out of his seat when I walk in.
I nod and he hugs me.
"I'm proud of you man" he says.
"I get to see lilly again" I smile.
"hell yeah you do call her!" Nash says
"No way, I'm surprising her, but I'm going to call sam and explain everything" I say walking outside and dialing sams number.
S- hello? Who's this?
C- hey sam... It's cameron.
S- are you kidding?
C- no, just hear me out okay
S- woah hold up its seriously cameron??
C- yes now listen! (Explains everything)
S- seriously? That's crazy! And I honestly can't be mad at you but you did really upset my sister. But she will be so happy when you get here
C- promise to keep it a secret?
S-yeah for sure man keep in touch and let me know when your comin
C- okay bye
I hang up feeling relieved that sam wasn't mad. And he was the only one who would know of me coming back.
I go to my computer while nash calls about our house.
I try to get a flight booked as soon as I can.
"A whole week" I mutter to myself feeling irritated that it was so far away.
I booked the flight and decided to text sam.
C- so the earliest flight I could get in in 7 days.
Sam- that's the day on Jack and Sadies rehearsal and then the next day is the wedding. They defiantly want you to come though. The only thing is I would have to tell them? They won't tell lilly.
C- okay go ahead. What time is the rehearsal?
Sam: at 6.
C- cool I'll be in town around 5 ish so it'll work out fine.
Sam: lilly is gunna freak.
C- I hope that means freak in a good way?
Sam: yep.

*sams pov*
I licked my phone and decided to head down to Jack and Sadies to explain everything to them and make sure it was okay for cameron to come.
When I get there sadie answers the door and let's me in.
"Can I?" I say looking down at carson in her play pen.
"Oh yeah go ahead" she smiles and I pick up carson saying hi to her and sitting down.
"So where's Jack?" I ask
"Hes upstairs" she says
"I really need to talk to both of you" I say and she's texts Jack to come down.
"Hey what's up?" He asks sitting down.
I explain the whole situation to them and Sadie gasps
"That's awful! Of course we'd love to have him! Oh I'm so happy that he's coming back" she says
"Lilly made me almost cry the other day talking about how heart broken she was, this is really going to help her" Jack says
"Yeah I'm really excited" I smile.
*lillys pov*
I left jacks house and went home but sam wasn't here. I honestly thought I would hate living with him but it's been awesome. He's not too over controlling. And he's the coolest brother ever, I mean I don't see any one else's brothers letting their little sister move 59386274 miles away from their parents to live with them.
I made some pizza pockets (my favorite food) and watched spongebob
The door opens and sam walks in.
"I have to go" he says into his phone and hangs up.
"Hey sis" he says sitting next to me smiling.
"Gosh what's got you so happy?" I ask
"Nothing, can't I just be happy?" He asks
"Nope, who's the girl?" I ask
"No girl. Just happy."
"Okay then" I say. "I'm going to bed"
Igbo upstairs and quickly fall asleep.
