Saving Me ~Nash Grier and Carter Reynolds Fanfic~

Chapter 16

***Violet's POV***

The rest of the day we spent at the mall. I got quite a bit of shopping done. I bought myself five shirts and pair of faded and ripped jeans and a dress. Nash bought me an infinity bracelet we say at Forever 21 and a scarf even though its summer. We all stopped at Dairy Queen for ice creams around 4. It was going pretty well for the most part. But Carter was being quiet all day. Too quiet. I knew it bothered him every time Nash and I kissed or held hands or hugged or even when Nash bought me something. But I couldn't stop anything. I knew he knew that too, but I still felt guilty about the whole situation.

"Well. " Morgan begins as we are heading back around the mall to where we started. "Cam and I have to go. We have reservations at 6" she says. I look down at my phone to see the time. 4:45. Dang today has gone by fast.

"That's cool. " I say to them. Morgan walks over to me and hugs me.

"I will call you later. Promise."" she says into my ear during the friendly hug. I watch Morgan and Cameron walk out the doors of the mall and exit.

"Well since we are all hanging out, we should ride together." Tristyn says to the group.

"Actually me, Jack, and Aaron are gonna head out too. you guys can have the other car." Jack G says looking at us and then Carter. "You wanna come with bro?" he asks Carter. Carter snaps his head up from the ground and glimpses at me and Nash who has his hand resting on my shoulder.

"Umm yeah." he says slowly. He follows the guys out the door without even looking back. Maybe that's a sign that its not meant to be...? I don't know.

"Well what are we going to do now?" Taylor says as he is holding Tristyn from behind.

"Well we are having a girls night. So I don't know what y'all will be doing tonight. " Ashley says playfully. We all chuckle and start to head out to the SUV. It is now standing alone seeing as Cameron and Morgan took one. And Jack, Jack, Aaron, and Carter took the other. Carter... I meant to get his number before the end of the day. Shit. Oh well. Maybe I can get it from Nash. No that would be awkward. We reach the vehicle and we all climb in. Nash helps me up and goes to put the chair away. Me and Nash were in the middle seats. Ashley was sitting on Shawn's lap playfully stroking his hair and kissing his cheek. Tristyn and Taylor were sitting side by side talking. Nash climbs in and slides as close as possible to me.

"So we will drop you girls off at Vi's and then us guys can head over to my house and just chill." Nash says to all of us.

"Sounds good." Shawn says. "Yo Joe! Turn up the radio." he asks the security guard.

"Oh snap. Violet and her singing" Nash says laughing. "Shawn she could give you a run for your money." they all laugh.

"Oh shut up. Y'all didn't have to stand next to her 8th grade year in chorus." Tristyn says with a smirk. I know I am not a good singer but I still sing, I mean its fun. I decide not to sing to Wrecking Ball as it came through the speakers. I would rather save myself from further embarrassment. On the way home my mind swims with thoughts of me and Nash and Me and Carter. I am hoping Tris can help me when we get to my house. After a 10 minute drive of laughing and music we reach my house. I look at it as we drive up the driveway. its a large house. My father built it before he passed. I missed him and his perfectionism of the house. I loved it. We stop in front of the door and Nash climbs out. He carries me inside and sets me on the couch in my living room. My mom wasn't home but I know the passcode in. Nash leaves to retrieve my stuff out of the car. When he returns Tristyn and Ashley follow with overnight bags in their hands.

"Alright. Are you sure you'll be okay babe?" Nash says as he hugs me tightly. I nod in his shoulder. He loosens his grip and looks down and kisses me. it was short but sweet. "Call or text me whenever. I love you." I say I love you and by to him and he leaves out the door. I release a sharp breath I was unaware of holding.

"So how did you meet Shawn?" I  ask Ashley breaking the silence.

"Well in March I went to this singing competition for some company. And Shawn was there to observe. He came to my dress room to help coach me before I performed and we started to talk. After I performed he came back to me and hugged me tightly congratulating me and after that moment we have been inseperable. " she says her love story. I find it cute. She loves to sing and she got two good things in one day. "I truly love him." she says wwith a smile.

"I am happy for you." I say and look at Tristyn who has been eyeing me since we were left by the boys. I know she wants to know what was going on between me and Carter. Truthfully I wanted to know. I didn't like how he left without a goodbye today. Especially after we kissed. Our kiss was passionate. I knew he felt the spark I did. he had to right?

"So Tris. You and Tay Tay?" I say trying to loosen her scowl. It works like a charm.

"Well we are good. I really like him, but we aren't dating. Officially anyway." she says smiling. "But I think he wants to take things slowly even though he kissed me last night when we left. But I like where we are now." she says happily.

"That's good you're happy!" I say smiling happy for my best friend. "So wanna order a pizza?" I ask my friends. They nod excitedly. I grab my phone off of the mahogany coffee table in front of me. I unlock my phone putting iin 0916. Still no one knows why this is my password. Not even my mother. I don't intend on telling people or I might start crying. I order the pizza and its supposed to arrive in 45 minutes. My stomach growls and I don't realize how hungry I really am.

"Damn girl" Tristyn says. We all three laugh and Ashley's phone starts to ring.

"Its Taylor. I am gonna take it." I nod and she leaves the room.

"Okay spill before I flip shit." Tristyn says immediately. I try and play it off.

"What are you talking about?" I say knowing what she meant but not daring to repeat it.

"You know damn right what I mean Violet Jonell." she calls me out. I sigh in defeat and tell my crazy love triangle.

"When he kissed me.. I felt like I could never get enough of his taste and his lips seemed to fit mine perfectly but I have Nash... I just don't know." I say into my hands. Tristyn's mouth had dropped three seconds into the tragic story. "I don't know who  or what I want anymore." I admit.

"Holy shit Vi."  she says bluntly. "I think you should talk to Nash about all of this." she says trying to give me advice. Maybe I should... I don't know...  

"I don't know." I sigh as guilt rolls onto my shoulders. "I love Nash and I think I love Carter." I say aloud. Tristyn gasps as the words leave my mouth. I cant believe it either.

"Well damn..." she says. I know she is confused too. She was about to say something when my phone vibrates on the soft couch cushion next to me. I expect it to be Nash but when I see an unknown number my heart flips. I slide the message across the screen and unlock my phone to see a message I had mixed feelings about.

Hey we need to talk....

-Carter.
