The Slide Boy

Twenty - Six

Juliet POV

A month later I was finally let out of the hospital. I had to be on the breathing machine for 2 weeks, which sucked. The boys came to see me everyday, until they had to leave. They all had their own things going on, like tours and concerts, and Cheyenne had to go back to college. Nash and Matt still came everyday though, along with my parents. I was happy that I was finally getting out. This place made me more depressed than I was. I wasn't happy about having to go to rehab though.

"Ready?" Nash asked me. I nodded and he grabbed my bag. Nash had to drive me home because my parents were busy and Matt had to have an interview to clear everything up. There were so many rumors going around, and since I couldn't go and Nash was with me he went alone. Some of my fans even came to see me, but when the hospital got packed with people the security stopped letting anyone other than family up, of course that included Nash and Matt.

"So do you want to go straight home or get a bite to eat?" Nash asked me casually as we drove down the road. I shrugged in response. I didnt really care if we ate or not. I didnt really care about anything.

Except Cameron.

"Can we just go home? I need to shower and I just want to sleep." I sighed, laying my head on the window. He nodded. When we pulled into my driveway, flowers lined up to the front porch, and their were balloons and a huge sign saying "welcome home Juliet!". I raised my eyebrow at Nash, and he shrugged.

"The boys and some fans delivered them so me and Matt sey them up, wait till you see all the teddy bears and candy in your room." He chuckled, shaking his head.

"Candy? Really?" I beamed, opening the car door. He chuckled again, nodding his head. We walked inside, and I went straight to shower. I hated being in the hospital, it smelled gross and I didn't like the showers at all. When I was finished, I braided my hair to the side and put on comfy shorts, and a matching button up top, it was my favorite pair of pajamas.

Nash bought them for me for my birthday one year, he said I needed to stop wearing ones with unicorns and carebears on them. I grabbed some candy from my room, God bless my fans, and walked to the living room where Nash was watching reruns of Gossip Girl. I squealed and did a little dance. I loved Gossip Girl with everything in my body. It was the episode where Serena and Blair went to Paris.

"Nice PJs" Nash teased, and I grinned twirling around.

"I know, this dork bought them for me." I sent him a cheeky smile, and sat down next to him. I could feel his eyes on me as I watched the show.

"Why are you staring at me, you creep?" I threw a skittle at him. He cleared his throat, and turned the t.v off as he turned to me.

"Juliet, i-i have to tell you something." He nervously scratched his arm, and looked anywhere but me. "I, um, love you. I don't mean as a friend, I mean as more than a friend. I'm in love with you, Juliet." He breathed, finally looking at me. I stared at him with my eyes wide.

"Wha- what?" I gaped, blinking slowly. He bit his lip and cracked his knuckles.

"I know you love Cameron, but I just had to tell you. I-im going to go now." He quickly got up, rushing out of the house. I didn't get up to stop him, I didn't even move. I stayed frozen on the couch, staring straight ahead at the blank t.v. How could Nash even love me? He's my best friend. He's known me since my whole life, he knows all my dirty little secrets and all my flaws. He knows me better than I know myself. How could he possibly love me? He deserves so much better, he should know that.

There was a soft knocking at my window. I glanced at my clock, to see that it was 3 in the morning. I groaned and sat up, dragging my body to my window. Cameron's eyes stared up at me, tears falling from them. My eyes widened, and I quickly opened up my window, letting him crawl in.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I hissed at him, crossing my arms. I acted mad, but on the inside I was jumping with happiness. Cameron was here, in my room.

"I'm so sorry" he cried, grabbing my hand. "I love you so much, I don't know why I said I didn't when I know I do. There's nobody I love more than you." As tears filled my eyes, I hugged him tightly, never wanting to let him go.

AN: So, there's only a few more chapters left. I know this one was short, but I just wanted to get the confessions over with. Anyways, what do you think should happen? Comment!
