It Gets Better! (Book 3)

Chapter 8: More Than a Broken Heart

~Nash's POV~

I watched as Cameron walked to the bathroom. I acted like I didn't do anything when Taylor looked back at me. I looked down at my phone and felt guilt and anger building up. I got up and heard someone crying. It was Lexi. But before I could go see. Taylor walked past me and I walked to the bathroom. I sat in front of the door and listened in on Acacia and Cameron talking. Then it went silent. I wanted to know what was happening in there. I was like a little kid listening to his parents talking outside their door. It was quiet for a while and then I heard whispers. I couldn't make out the words so I got a bit closer.

"Cameron? Do you think Nash is a bit obsessed?"

"A little. But you were his first love. And he was yours."

"That's not true. You were my first love. No one can change that. You were the one I couldn't stop thinking about."

“Nash loves you the same amount I do."

“I don't was t to be with Nash... I want to be with you."

I was pissed so I walked off. How could she say that?! She told me I was her first love. She was being a two faced Bitch! I wanted to punch someone. I walked pass the kitchen and saw Taylor and Lexi making out. I walked in and grabbed a water. They pulled away right away.

“I'm not a snitch. I'm sure they're doing the same thing in there too." I said walking off.

"Nash? What did you hear?" Hayes asked.

“She doesn't love me the way I love her. Let me tell you something. Girls are pricks! They say one thing and then another. Hold onto your girlfriend. I'm sure she's not like that."

"She isn't. She's amazing."

"Hold onto her as long as you can. Hayes shes a keeper. Don't let her slip from your fingers. Promise me you won't make the same idiotic shitty mistakes as me."

"I promise bro."

I nodded at him and walked away. I went up the stairs and walked into Skylynn's room. She was sleeping. I sat on the floor of her bed and softly kissed her forehead.

"Skylynn. I want you to know your always going to be my little princess. No matter how old you get. I'll always be here for you. I know I messed by forgetting your birthday. That was a jerk move. But I'm always going to be Nash Grier. Your older brother. Your protecter. I know dad isn't around as much and neither is Will. You need a role model and I'm going to be there. You're my horsey princess. I love you Sky."

I walked out and went to my room. I shut the door behind me and stripped down to my body. I shivered as I felt the cold wind hit my body. I pulled the blankets back and slipped in. I covered myself and looked at my phone. I unlocked it and tapped my gallery app. I started looking at my pictures and realized My friendship with Cameron is nothing but lies. And to think he changed. He knows how much Acacia means to me. And he's reeling her back in! WHY?

I looked at picture after picture. Let me tell you I did cry. I cried because at the moment of looking at these photos I was slowly being pulled back into my high school self.

↭The Next Morning↭

~Acacia's POV~

I woke up on the couch. I looked around and saw Cameron on the floor. I looked around and didn't see Taylor or Lexi. He took her home. Remember. They took they baby and left. Left you with Cameron. I blinked my eyes while processing my memory. I sat up and looked at my phone. A missed call. I looked at the name; Cousin J. I decided to call him back to see what he wanted.
