Gotta Go My Own Way ~#2~ (N.G./C.D.)

Chapter 23

"Uh, yeah. That's why he hasn't visited you that much." Cameron shrugs and takes my hand in his.

"Oh." I just nod and look down at my hand in his.

"I called your mother. She and the rest of your family are coming down from California on the next flight."

"Nice." I look down and smile, only to remember I wasn't in California. I was in South Carolina. I'm here because my father died. "Cameron, did a lot of people go to my father's funeral?"

He looks at me sadly and nods,"People did love him, Rosie. He will still always love you." I'm pulled into a hug by Cameron and I scooch over so that he can lay down next to me.

"Did my other friends ever visit me?" I look into his eyes as he moves a strand of hair out of my face.

"Yeah, it's just senior year, so they had to work more. I've seen them a few times here." He smiles.

"Can I call them?" I play with his fingers and look at him.

"Sure, I mean, they're probably at school. Just go for it." Cam laughs.

"Okay." I smile and take my phone again, sliding to the contacts and clicking on Lily's contact. It rings a bit before she answers.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Lil. It's me and I'm awake."

I hear her squeal and I pull the phone away from my ear. "You're awake! I love you so much. I'm telling Alex."

"Okay, see you soon." I hang up and smile.

"That Luke kid was here too, for awhile. He's with his father now, back at school." Cam adds.

I nod and sit up when the doctor comes back. 

"We would like to take you for some x-rays." He smiles.

"Okay." Cameron helps me out of bed and I sit back down in a wheelchair. I guess my legs work weird at the moment.

"We'll be back." The doctor smiles at Cameron and a nurse wheels me out to Radiology.

***Cameron's POV***

They bring her to get x-rays, leaving me in the room alone. I'm not sure if I should properly tell the other guys. I'm sure they probably saw her tweet. Who knows, maybe they're actually not fooling around for once.

I shake my head and click on the one contact that should really know she's awake, one that would come running back to her in a second if she called him. Only, I know that she's not going to; the picture showed enough.

"Cam? What's up?"

"I'm just at the hospital, with Rosie."

"Gotcha. Why'd ya call? Need me to do a favor?"

"Yeah. Fly to South Carolina."

"You know I can't do that, Cameron. I have a girlfriend and she'd question what I'm doing."

"If she wasn't a selfish bitch, she'd let you visit an old friend." I snap.

"Calm down, I don't even want to go. It's stupid to see her lying there."

"It's worth it. At least you'd know what she looks like, since she's totally different now."

"I know what she looks like." 

"Where are you right now, Nash?" I sigh.

"I'm at Lauren's."

"Where is she?"

"I don't know, in the bathroom."

"Go onto Twitter."

"Why?"
