*Kim POV*

"Would you calm down already?" I almost yelled to Cameron. "If he ever touches you ever again, I swear-" I interrupted him "Cam!" He looked at me and then just left, it was already getting dark outside. "Cameron, don't go" Nash said trying to stop him, but he just left. Moments passed. We didn't say anything. Nash looked at me, I looked at him, I didn't know what to say. "Well, let's get you some ice for your eye, that will help I think" Nash suddenly says. I nodded as he took it and came to me. "Here you go" he said putting it slowly on the side on my eye. He looked at me, I could see sadness in his eyes. "Are you okay?" I asked. He didn't answer. "Tomorrow is my birthday," he started, "this was not how I expected it to be" I put my hand on his, that was holding the ice. "I'm sorry" I didn't even knew it was his birthday, no one told me. "Why are you sorry? You didn't do anything wrong" he said short.

"I'm gonna go upstairs" I said. "Go to my room please" he demanded. "Why?" I ask. "I want to talk about something first" he said. I just nodded, even though I didn't had a clue what he was talking about. "Aren't you coming too?" I ask, wanting him to follow. "No, I'm going to wait until Cameron is back" he explained. I agreed and went upstairs.

I saw Hayes' room, I tried to be as quiet as possible. I almost passed it as he opened the door. I ran to Nash' room, but he stopped me. "Why are you run-" he stopped talking when he saw my black eye. "Who did this to you?" he asks. I just couldn't hold it. "Are you serious? You did this! When you got drunk home again!" I yelled at him. He just stood there with his mouth open. "I'm so sor-" he tried to say, but I just went to Nash' door and took the handle of the door. "Oh and please leave me alone, I'm done with you" I didn't even look back, I just went inside and shut the door. I was so angry and sad at the same time, he ruined it.

I looked around in Nash' room. I just went sitting on his bed and looked at his desk. There were a lot of pictures from Nash, Cameron and me. I smiled watching them. We have so much good memories together.

Nash knocked on the door and went inside. "Hey" I said soft. He looked so devastated. It's his birthday tomorrow and I don't even have a present for him. "Hi, can I ask you for a favor?" He asks. I nodded. "Yeah sure" He came sitting next to me on his bed. "Do you want to go to the malls or go iceskating or just do something with me? Just the two of us?" He asks. I don't know why, does he not want to be with his family? "Sure, why?" I ask. "You're leaving and I'm gonna miss you so much so I want you to spend your last day with me, for my birthday?" He smirked. That was the first time I saw a smile again since he saw my black eye. "I'm so sorry, I don't have a gift, no one told me it was your birthday" I said. He took my hand "it's okay, you can just join me tomorrow" I nodded.

"What do you want to do?" I ask jumping on his bed behind him. "I don't know, you?" he simply asked. I laid my hands on his shoulders and came closer. "It's your birthday, not mine" he laughed.

"You want to go swimming?" He asked after a while. "Yeah, that sounds great" I said excited, even though I'm not a good swimmer because my dad never let me go. I went with my grandmother a few times but not that much, it's been a while since the last time I went swimming too. He looked satisfied.

"Thanks Kim" he said. I smiled and walked around the bed and sit on his lap. "You're welcome" I said. He smiled, but that smile didn't look real. "What's wrong?" I asked. "Nothing, why?" He asks like there was nothing wrong. "I don't know, you've been a little down lately" I said. He looked at me with those bright blue eyes. "I really like you, and you seeing with Hayes is not easy for me..." He took a deep breath. "And at school... Now that Cameron isn't around anymore, I don't have a lot of friends anymore, well actually none, Cameron was the popular one, not me" he said. That was a lot to take in. He almost started crying. He was holding them back, I could hear it in his voice. "Nash," I said kneeling down on the floor in front of him because he was looking the floor. "When something's wrong, you can always call me, okay? I'm sorry about Hayes and me, but I had no idea" I answered. He nodded and lifted me up. "Nash, you're squeezing me!" I tried to yell. He laughed as we fall on his bed, me on top of him. We were so close, I looked in his eyes, leaned in, and kissed his soft lips. I felt butterflies.

"Wow" he said pulling apart. "I know right" I answered joking. He kissed me again and I kissed back immediately. We rolled over what made me lie under him. I picked me up as I sat on his lap again. His hands were on my waist, circling up and down. I ran my fingers through his hair, I felt him smile through the kiss what made me giggle a little.

"Finally" I heard someone say that made me jump. "Cameron! Knock!" I kind of yelled in shock. He laughed as I saw Nash blushing a little. I pushed my head into his chest to hide my blush. Cameron came closer and gave me a kiss on my head. "Maybe a little soon after..." he didn't want to say Hayes of course, "But I'm happy for the two of you" he smiled what made me feel comfortable again.

I think he always wanted me to be with Nash and not with Hayes, because Hayes apparently has been drinking for a while. Nash told me that was the reason why his last girlfriend broke up with him even though it wasn't that serious like it was with me.

Cameron left to go to bed. "Do you want to stay?" Nash asked. I nodded. "I change into my pyjamas and come back" I said. He nodded. I went to Sky's room, because my pajamas were on my bed. I walked in quietly, took it and went to the bathroom. I took of my clothes and jumped into my pyjamas, what was an old sweater from Cameron that he didn't want anymore and some shorts. I brushed my teeth and put my hair into a messy bun. I went back to Nash to see him lie in bed with no shirt on. When I saw it, I knew I always liked him a little, I just didn't realised it. I jumped next to him in bed what made him laugh because he didn't saw me coming. I kind of forget everything about Hayes when I'm with Nash. I snuggled into his chest as he laid his arm around me. After that, the night was a complete blur, and I fell a sleep.
