Best Friends For Never

Chapter 15

NATE'S P.O.V

This was hell.

Pure hell.

If I could imagine hell to be one specific place then this would be it.

"If I was your boyfriend I'd never let you go," Josh wailed from next to me.

"I can take you places you ain't been before," Sophie sang, "Baby, take a chance or you'll never ever know."

Almost an hour of this stupid Justin Bieber CD on repeat and I hadn't cracked yet, but I had a feeling Talia might crack soon. I was stronger, I could survive. Fortunately for her, she'd bought her headphones with her. I was not as prepared.

"I got money in my hands that I'd really like to blow," Josh continued.

"SWAG, SWAG, SWAG, ON YOU," Sophie and Josh both screeched together.

As if on cue, Talia ripped her headphones out of her ear and glared at them, "Alright, whoever the fuck brought the Justin Bieber CD better take it out now before I throw it out the window."

Josh and I exchanged looks. Talia's mood definitely had not improved since we told her she was going camping with us, but to be honest I wasn't exactly expecting her to be overjoyed.

"C'mon Talia, you're a secret Belieber right?" Sophie nudged Talia playfully, but her attempt at lightening the mood was returned with a cold glare.

"No, I'm really not," Talia scowled.

"Alright well I have another Justin Bieber CD, a One Direction CD and I'm also pretty sure I brought my Nikki Minaj one along too so you better pick one honey," Josh snapped his fingers in her face and raised an eyebrow. I swear, all Josh ever did was try to piss Talia off and it sure as hell worked.

"Stick with the Justin Bieber, although anything is better than your whining," She rolled her eyes dramatically, putting one of her headphones back in.

"You think I'm whining?" Josh practically gasped, "You are the one that has been moaning ever since we told you where we were going!"

"You're taking me camping, are you expecting me to be overjoyed?" Sarcasm dripped from her voice, as she raised an eyebrow at Josh.

All three of us had known that this wasn't exactly her cup of tea but we'd hoped that after a couple hours she'd begin to warm up to the idea. Of course there were plenty of downsides to sleeping out in the wild (or in a forest to be exact) but that didn't mean we couldn't make the most of it.

"Listen Captain Moany Pants," I began, "we're here because we're trying to make an effort. We're here because we want you to feel better and we're trying our best to be good friends. So either you shut up and stop being ungrateful or you get out the car right now and walk back home. Capiche?"

Talia eyed me for a few seconds before mumbling, "Fine. Whatever."

I smirked and sat back in my chair.

"Talia's whipped," Sophie sang, giggling at the two of us.

"Oh yeah, really? I'm whipped" Talia raised an eyebrow at her, "Coming from someone who's completely besotted with Jo-"

Sophie slammed her hand over Talia's mouth and almost growled at her, "Shut up you little bitch."

She chuckled from under Sophie's hand, "Don't make me lick you," she mumbled, almost inaudible.

I've never seen Sophie move so fast. She ripped her hand away and screamed, wiping it on my jacket "EW. EW. OMG, SHE LICKED ME! SHE ACTUALLY LICKED ME! THAT IS SO GROSS!"
