~Nash's POV~

I sat down next to Will. I grabbed a hand full of popcorn and shoved it in my mouth. A few minutes after I arrived Hayes walked in. Sitting down and looking at me. I ignored him and stared straight at the screen. I heard Will talking to Hayes. Then in saw his head slowly fall next to mine.

"What happened to Acacia?" He asked.

"She left."

"To where?"

"I don't know and don't care." I told him.

"Dick mood much?"

"No. She was being a bitch so I broke up with her. We got in a fight and she left and I came in here. Simple."

"Wait until the movie is done!" Will threatened.

I sat back in my seat and watched the movie. I didn't feel an ounce of regret. She deserved what she got. I sat there following the sequence of events happening in front of me. I knew Will was pissed at me and so was Hayes. I could care less. The movie finished and I followed Hayes and Will down the stairs and down the hall of the movie theater. We got in my moms car but we didn't move.

"Can we leave? I wanna go home."

"We're not leaving!" Hayes said.

"Shut the fuck up Hayes! No one was talking to you! Stay out of this! Will let's go."

"First off don't yell at Hayes. He didn't do shit to you! Second of all we aren't leaving until you tell me and your little brother what happened to Acacia?"

"Fine! Fuck this. I'll walk home by myself." I told him getting out of the car and making my way down the street. Not looking back.

~Acacia's POV~

Cameron and I sat there kissing. When we pulled away I took a deep breath. I turned my head to look at Cameron. He sat there smiling at me. I placed my hand on his cheek. I closed my eyes. Remembering all of our times together.

"I miss this. I miss us." Cameron said.

"I miss us too. I just don't think I can trust you again."

"But you can. I promise you. You are my one priority now. No one else. I love you."

"Do you remember when we spent our whole spring break watching random movies?" I asked.

"Yes! My mom bought us so much food. That we locked ourselves up in my room."

"That was fun." I told him.

"It was. Or when we filled those balloons up with paint and threw them at each other."

"Who could forget? Or when we went with your mom on her business trip to Florida and we snuck out of the room and roamed the streets."

"See we had good times together. We made so much memories together." Cameron told me.

"We did. The best ever."

I felt Cameron's arm wrap around my shoulder. With no hesitation I scooted closer to him. Hearing his heartbeat was like I was at home. His breathing was soothing.

"Do you want to go home now?" He asked.

"No! I want this moment to last a little longer. Please."

"Okay."

~Hayes' POV~

I hopped into the front seat as we went looking for Nash. A few streets away we saw him walking. Will slowed down next to him telling him to get in the car. Nash was refusing. Finally he gave in and hopped into the back seat. I turned around and saw tear marks down his face. As if he cried the whole time. Slowly we turned into our drive way. Nash jumping out and going straight into his room.

"Hey boys! What's wrong with Nash?"

"I don't know mom. He's being a little butt." Will said making sure Skylynn heard his 'right' choice of words.

"I think he was crying." I butted in.

"Aww! My poor Nash!" My mom said rushing up the stairs.

"Hey Will! Thanks for standing up for me in the car."

"No problem little buddy! What's a big brother for right!" He told me.

"I'm not little."

"Of course you're not little buddy. Hey why don't you go see if Acacia made it home okay."

"Alright. I'll be right back." I told him.

I walked out of the house and made my way next door. Knocking on the door. I heard someone walking towards the door. Giovanni, Acacia's brother, answered the door.

"Hayes? What's up?"

"Is Acacia home?"

"No. She hasn't came home yet." He said.
