We drove to the mall and went straight to Forever 21. I grabbed a bunch of clothes for Courtney and I. We ran to the dressing rooms to try everything on, and I quickly grabbed an ugly shirt for Courtney to make me laugh. She noticed it, but still put it on. She came on of the little stall and walked to the mirror.

"This is absolutely gorgeous!" She said with so much enthusiasm. I started cracking up.

"Totally! You have to wear that out! I'm sure everyone will think its adorable!" I said through laughter. She started laughing and walked back in to her little stall to change in.

"That was the ugliest thing I've ever worn!" she said through laughter.

"That was the ugliest thing I've ever seen!" I said a clutched my stomach from how hard I was laughing. I managed to feel better for about ten minutes then, I looked down at my phone. No messages from Cameron.. that made me upset again. I felt myself start to cry, and I look up at the ceiling to try and calm myself down. I went back to the racks and searched for more clothes. I bought a bunch of summer clothes, and so did Courtney. We decided to go to the food court. 

"I'm gonna run to the bathroom, do you wanna come?" she asked standing up from her chair. We decided to eat pizza.

"No, I'm fine," I said staring down at the food. I wasn't that hungry, I barely ate food all day. She walked away and headed towards the restrooms, and I just sat there staring at my phone. Then I look up and notice Nash walking toward me. 

"What are you doing here by yourself?" he asked as he sat down in Courtney's seat.

"I'm with Courtney," I said not looking at him. I can't look at him, he's the reason Cameron broke up with me.

"Oh.. I heard what happened with you and Cameron," he said reaching over to touch my hand. I pulled away from him.

"How did you hear?" I asked confused, I finally made eye contact with him, his beautiful blue eyes looked at me with sympathy. Just because I like his eyes, doesn't mean I like him though, he's a horrible person.

"I looked on twitter, I guess you forgot to block me on there," he said. 

"Oh," I said looking back at my untouched food.

"You know, I would never do that to you, Danielle. If I had you, I would never let you go. You deserve to be loved unconditionally," he said. He was right, I guess Cameron didn't love me enough to actually keep me.

"Really?" I asked looking up to him, I needed someone to tell me that. I miss Cameron so much, but Nash is right. I know it might be stupid, but he's acting extremely nice. I noticed Courtney walking back, her mouth dropped and she ran over to the table.

"What the hell are you doing here? Go away," she said I could see the anger in her eyes. Her hands clenched into fists. She bit her lip so tightly, it was turning white. She was so close to punching him right then and there.

"Courtney, calm down! He's just being nice and caring about me," I said.

Courtney's POV

"Courtney, calm down! He's just being nice and caring about me," what the hell is she doing? He's the reason Cameron broke up with her. He's the reason everything has been happening. I guess she's just acting vulnerable because of Cameron, and Nash is just going to take advantage of her again.

"Danielle, why would you even talk to him? From all the shit he put you through? He's not the only one that cares. If you haven't noticed I gave up my whole day with Taylor for you to make sure that you were okay," I said with annoyance. She's just going to act like I don't care, I could be with Taylor right now but I'm not. I'm trying to make my best friend feel better. 

"I never asked you to give up your day for me," she said rolling her eyes. I noticed Nash sittin there smiling, so this is his plan.

"Wow Nash I'm actually surprised at you. You're plan worked to manipulate the situation. You got Cameron angry and upset and now Danielle is on your side. Nice job," I said with sarcasm in my voice. He just laughed in my face.

"Danielle come on, lets go back to your house," I said trying to grab her, she pulled away from me.

"No, I'm staying here," she said. 

"Danielle, you're making a huge mistake. He's using you, he doesn't actually like you," I said with anger boiling inside of me.

"I care about her, you don't if you won't let her have what she wants," Nash said not even looking at me. I can't stand it when people talk to me, but they don't look at me. It's so rude.

"Yeah Courtney, you don't care about me. Especially earlier when Cameron was over, you wouldn't let him talk to me," she said with anger rising in her. 

"Danielle, I'm doing this for your own good. He's nothing but trouble, and Cameron doesn't want you to get hurt." I said trying to reach over to her, she moved away again.

"Really? Well he hurt me, isn't that just as bad? If you're going to stick up for him then why don't you go talk to him and not me?" she asked. Her words hurt, I tried to hold back all the anger inside of me. I can't lose her, and she's slipped away already. 

"Fine, if you want him then have him. I'm going home," I said as I grabbed my stuff and walked away. She looked at me in shock, but didn't get up. I can't believe this, he's just going to take advantage of her. Once she realizes that she'll be crying for one of us to get her. I have to tell Cameron. 

Danielle's POV

I feel like my heart was torn out of my chest, and stomped all over. I feel like no one even cares anymore, the only one that shows that he does is well, Nash. I have a bad feeling about him, but he's being nice to me. 

"I really care about you Danielle, not like Cameron does. He doesn't at all," he said touching my hand.

"I know, stop bringing him up," I said with annoyance. He gave me a pathetic look.

"I suggest you stop with the attitude if you want me to be nice, remember I'm the only one that 'cares' about you," he said. I'm so not putting up with this bullshit.

"Look, you should just leave me alone, I'm gonna go home now," I said grabbing my things, then I felt his hand on my wrist tugging at it. 

"You're not going anywhere," he said, the grip on my wrist was extremely tight. I couldn't move, I felt like my feet were glued to the floor.
