Empty Promises // s.m.

Camila?

"Paisley, I heard you got a cast. Are you alright?" Robbie stands up once he sees me make my way down the stairs with Brad.

"Can you guys go in another room?" I glance at Noah and Nash before finally meeting Brad's eyes. He gives me a look, to which I nod. I hope he can comprehend the mini conversation I just had with him.

Once they leave, I sit on the opposite couch and just stare at Robbie.  I'm trying to compose the right thing to say without putting much effort in. "Robbie, what are you doing here?"

"I wanted to see you. Is that a crime?" He cocks his head.

"A crime is trying to get with someone who has a boyfriend." I smile sweetly back at him.

"Well, sue me for wanting to be with you." He crosses his arms.

I roll my eyes and stand up. "We were both drunk, you more than me. I don't know if that is how you normally are, but I don't like it. The second you come on to me without my consent will be the second I stop talking to you. Are we clear?"

"Crystal." Robbie winks and turns to leave before stopping. "Oh, and by the way, you should probably check your boyfriend's Twitter."

He closes the door behind him, leaving me confused. Why do I need to check Shawn's Twitter? I sit back on the couch and pull my phone out of my pocket, about to click on Twitter when Nash snatches the phone out of my hand.

"Nash, why would you do that?" I stand up and head towards him. "Give it back."

"I don't think you want to see it, Paisley." Brad leans against the doorway and shakes his head.

"Why are you guys acting like this?" I rip the phone out of Nash's hands and click on Shawn's Twitter. There's a picture of him and Camila is kissing his cheek. The caption is 'my fav gal.' I drop my phone at this, and sit back on the couch.

There's a knock on the door, yet I don't make a move to answer it. I see Noah make his way over and open it to reveal Amy.

"Paisley." Amy comes over and wraps her arms around me, rocking us back and forth. "I think one of you guys need to call Shawn."

"No." I pull away from her. "I just talked to him and he was with her."

"You need to remind him who you are." Amy pats my back. "You can't let him just announce that to everyone when he clearly has a girlfriend."

"Fine." I pull my phone out and click on his contact, waiting for him to answer. I know he's on it because I've been getting his tweet notifications.

'Hey Pais? What's up?' He finally answers.

"I was uh just wanting to talk to you." I awkwardly look up to Amy who was shaking her head.

'Aw, well I'll talk to ya later. I have to go out to eat with Camila. Love you.' Shawn hangs up, leaving me to stare at the phone.

I don't know what's going on with him. I just want my best friend back. I definitely didn't think that him going on tour would end up with him ignoring me all the time.

"You need to take charge. He's walking all over you." Amy shakes her head disapprovingly.

"I kinda know Camila." Nash cuts in, taking a seat on the couch next to me.

Noah scoffs. "Don't provoke this."

"Just let him make her feel better." Brad huffs.

Noah rolls his eyes. "I'm going to go make some pancakes."

"Tell me about her." I turn to Nash, hopefulness in my eyes.

"She's a singer with this group named Fifth Harmony. She's actually really pretty." At this, Brad hits Nash. "Ow. Not that you aren't pretty."

I shake my head and look to Amy. "What do I do?"

"About who?" She frowns.

"Shawn. Are you alright?" I give her a weird look for ignoring the whole conversation. 

"Yeah. I would wait it out I guess. Worst case scenario, blow up his phone with threats."

"That's really evil." Nash's eyes widen.

Amy shrugs. "Gotta do what you gotta do." 

"I guess so." I bite my lip.

"Anyways, I wanted to see you on my way to school. I'll be over after cheer practice." Amy gives me one more hug before waving to the other guys and leaving.

"She's hot." Brad takes her spot next to me and smirks.

"She thinks you're hot." I give him a small smile.

"It's going to be okay, Paisley." Brad wraps an arm around my shoulders and squeezes. 

"Yeah." Nash nudges me. "I flew all the way here to see you."

"Thanks guys." I nod and pull my knees to my chest. "Can we watch a movie or something?"

"Of course."

After a handful of movies and lots of popcorn and pancakes, Brad has to leave for work and my parents get home from work.

"You know when your next appointment is?" My mom asks at the dinner table.

"No, they didn't say." I eat my food slowly and sigh.

"I don't have to use my crutches anymore." Noah adds.

"That's great, son." Dad looks back to me. "You need to stay on top of your work. Maybe ask Amy to get that schoolwork?"

"Okay." I nod in agreement.

"Not to sound rude, we love your presence, but how long are you staying with us Nash?" Mom smiles at him.

"Probably a week. I needed a vacation anyways. My family was going to Florida to visit my older brother." Nash replies.

"Oh, that sounds interesting."

I can't take this anymore.

"Can I be excused?" I look at my parents.

They frown, but nod. "Take it easy."

I stand up and go to my room, immediately letting tears into my pillow. I feel an arm wrap around me. Knowing it is Nash, I lean into him and grab a fistful of his shirt as I let all of my feelings out.

"Things will get better Paisley. Have faith in your relationship. You guys are best friends since forever. Don't let this event change that." Nash strokes my hair.

"But I think I've already lost him." I sob.

"This is going to be a long 3 months for you. Do you want to surprise him at one of his shows?" He grins. "Maybe we can get a ticket to go somewhere."

"I guess." I shrug, wiping my face. "I really want to go to Paris with Brad and Kelly. It would be huge."

"Shawn has a show date in Paris with Austin Mahone. You should go and surprise him!" Nash hugs me tight. "Sleep on it. I'm going to go help your mother clean up dinner."

Nash stands up and heads to the door when I stop him.

"You're a good guy, aren't you?" I smile.

He shrugs before turning my light off and closing the door.
