I'm his one but not his only

Part 28

Ashlynn's POV

It was 4:30 when Cameron finally came out of the surgery room. I checked in with the boys at home and with the nurses. He came out and we all went to go see him.

"Hey babe! Let me see your foot!" He showed it to me and I grimaced at the ugliness. It was purple with think black wire they call stitches.

"Looks hideous" I said straight out

"Thanks babe" Cameron kissed me and laughed.

"So how did you step on a tin can?" Elise asked looking at his foot.

"Well, I didn't see the opened can and I accidentally applied pressure from my foot onto the can..."

"What the heck lol okay then" Elise said rolling her eyes.

The nurse came in and we all swiveled and turned our heads at her.

"Just here to give Cameron some info."

She walked towards Cameron and started talking. Blah blah blah meds every 12 hours blah blah blah nurse doctor stuff. Blah blah blah. That's all I heard. Except for "you will be on crutches for a couple weeks. Then you'll be wearing a boot once you take the stitches out."

"Okay thanks!" I smiled and we left the hospital with Cameron's meds and wheelchair and crutches. All that stuff. We drove home and surprisingly the house was clean and quiet. I went out back and the boys were in the back taking a walk. Apparently they just got back from a walk.

"Hey guys! How's it hanging?" I said embracing each and every boy.

"Good! Just got back from a walk. A nice, long, silly walk!" Johnson broke out laughing. I didn't ask anything I just led them inside to see Cameron.

"Ohh you got a little...." Brent said jokingly while pointing at Cameron's foot.

"Oh yeah, that. Well your girlfriend bit my foot so hard I had to go to the hospital."

"That wasn't a good one Cam"

"Yeah I know." he bowed his head and sat down.

"So how does the foot feel? Weird? Awkward?" Carter said

"It feels fine. Weird. But fine." Cameron replied furrowing his brows when he said "weird".

"Should we start packing? We are leaving tomorrow right?" Matt asked pointing to his room.

"It's 5 so get out your pajamas and clothes for tomorrow and pack everything else." I smiled and looked at Cameron. I sat down next to him and pecked him on the cheek.

"Hey Elise, wanna go get food with me?" I asked standing and getting my bag.

"Sure. I gotta tell you something."

"Okay".

Elise's POV

When Ashlynn asked me if I wanted to go get food, I was happy she asked. I needed to tell her something important.

"Let me talk to Nash for a minute"

"Okay. I'll be in the car." Ashlynn said walking out the door.

I motioned the guys away except Nash. I pulled him into the kitchen.

"Nash I need to tell her"

"No! It has to be a secret until she realizes I need to be with her!"

"Nash I'm her best friend! I have been forever! I need to protect her."

"But Cameron said not to tell her!"

"Well no dur! But I need to protect my best friend and you need to protect a friendship."

"But if you tell her she's gonna breakdown!"

"And what if I don't"

Nash paused. He sat down on the chair in the kitchen and he put his hand on his head and rubbed his forehead.

"You're right. But aren't you afraid of losing your best friend?"

"Yes. But she'll be upset if we do or don't tell her."

"She would be upset way more if she finds out her self."

"Exactly! We need to do something."

"Fine tell her."

He got up and we embraced for a minute. Then he whispered in my ear, "it's gonna be okay". I didn't realize I was crying. But I need to tell Ashlynn. Or else things are gonna be ugly.

I went out to the car and climbed in. I prepared myself for this. But should I wait?
