Chasing Cars

Chap Thirty-One

Matt's Pov

"Matt!" Nash yells up the stairs.

"Yeah," I run to the top.

"I have to go to work, I'm filming today," he looks at me,"Would you like to come?"

I think about it for a moment,"Uhh no thanks."

"Ok, that's fine. Cams downstairs, if you need anything," he smiles then walks away.

I go back to my room, I had gotten almost everything into the bathroom. I had set newspapers all over the floor.

"Hey Cam?" I ask, hurrying down the steps.

"What's up?"

"Can you take me to Wal-Mart? I want to get some paint."

"Yeah sure."

We hop into his car, a mercedes, and he drove off. Things hadn't changed much, just some stores added and some removed.

Cam turned on the radio and started singing along to the song playing. I heard it before, it was rather old. The voice though, sounded very familiar. I listen to the lyrics very carefully.

"If I lay here,

If I just lay here,

Will you lie with me and just forget the world?

Let's waste time,

Chasing cars,

Around our heads."

I gasp,"It's Shawn."

Cam looks over at me,"Yeah, Shawn Mendes. How did you know that?" he looks over me quizzically.

"We met at that Karaoke Place, remember?"

"Oh yeah," Cam says,"He became a star about half a year after you were in a coma. He actually payed for your bills for awhile, until Nash became an actor."

"Really?" I ask.

He nods his head.

Wow

The thought processed it's way into my mind. Gosh, I had such amazing friends.

When we got there I hurried into the store and headed straight for the paint. I picked out a baby blue, a bit darker than Nashs eyes, and a brown that was the exact color of Carter's.

"Nice combination," Cam says. He walks over to the candy and gets a giant bag of Starbursts.

"Those are Nash's favorite," I say, and Cam smiles.

"Yeah, I should probably get a few more bags, he'll go through them like crazy."

He grabs a couple more, and I head over to where all the bed sets are. I grab a checkered blue and brown one and we go to the check out line. Cam grabs a pack of gum, adding it in with the rest. He pays for the stuff, then we head back to the car.

"Want one?" he holds out a stick to me, and I take it.

Ripping off the wrapper, I stuck the gum on my tongue. It felt weird. Guess thats what happens when you don't have gum for over two years.

As soon as I get home I rush up to my room and open up the paint. After stirring it, I grab a paint brush and start doing the trim.(I know so much about painting it's sad. My parents like to buy super shitty houses n fix em up so I'm like the freaking master of painting 😂)

"Need some help?" Cam asks as he walks in.

I nod my head. He turns on some music and we start painting. It took about hmm hour to do trim, and I made Cam stop half way through cuz he kept getting paint on the base. Finally I was done and we started rolling, which he was much better it. It took a few more hours because it was so light that i had to do two coats so you couldn't see the lines from where the roller was.
