Empty Promises // s.m.

"Wanna watch a movie?" Carter turns his phone off after a few minutes of fooling around.

I shrug. "I don't care."

"Let's watch a movie." Matt agrees with Carter and signs into his Netflix on the TV.

The Jacks move the beds together since the nightstands were on the opposite sides and jump on one of the beds and Taylor goes after them. Cameron gets next to him, followed by Aaron, and I get in between him and Nash, leaving Carter and Matthew on the other end. 

"Might as well watch a scary movie." Gilinsky takes the remote from Matt and scrolls to horror.

"What? I don't wanna." Matt frowns.

"I'll protect you." Carter smirks.

"Aw, cute Cartah." I smile.

"I can protect you." Nash nudges me and I laugh.

"Oh, Hamilton. I live for horror movies." I shake my head.

"It's true." I hear Shawn's voice and immediately I stop talking.

"Here." Cameron hands me his phone and I see Shawn on FaceTime.

"Hey." I grin.

"I have a few minutes before my flight boards so I decided to see what you guys are doing." Shawn smiles back.

"We're watching a scary movie." I shrug.

"I'm sure you'll be the least scared out of all those guys." Shawn smirks.

"I'm sure you're right." I look at Gilinsky selecting Paranormal Activity 3 and I sadly look back to Shawn. "I gotta go. You better text me when you land."

"Of course." He swallows. "Bye Pais."

"Bye Shawny." I end the FaceTime and hand Cam back his phone.

"You okay?" Cam takes his phone back and gives me a look.

"Yeah. Let's just watch the movie." I lay on my stomach and lean my chin on my hands.

"Okay."

The movie is just about over and Nash and I are the only two still up. Everyone else chickened out and decided to sleep instead of getting themselves scared in front of me. I reach over and grab the remote that's next to the Jacks and click off the movie when the credits pop up.

"Well, I won't be able to sleep for a bit." Nash mutters.

I giggle and click on One Tree Hill. "This is my favorite show."

"What's it about?" Nash wraps his arm around my back and pulls me closer to him.

"There's a lot going on. You just gotta watch." I smile and look back at the TV, reminiscing in the first episode.

"I would never leave you." Nash whispers.

I turn to him. "What?"

His eyes look down at my lips and he looks back to my eyes. "Shawn, he left you to go home alone. Do you have friends back there?"

"Not really." I swallow and look away.

"I wouldn't up and leave you like he is." Nash nudges me so I look back to him.

"He's doing what he loves and this is helping his career." I shake my head in defense.

"You know that you're going to have trouble back home without your best friend. Don't you wish he thought of you first?"
