Never Letting Go - Cody Simpson Fanfic

Chapter 22

We got back to Cali a few days ago. We're not here for long though as we're going to Australia in two days. Everyone's going because summer's starting in a week. Right now I'm finishing up a photoshoot for my upcoming single's cover artwork.

"Beautiful! Now look over my shoulder and turn slightly to the right." The photgrapher instructed. "That's great." He grinned and continued to snap pictures of me. We took photos for around ten more minutes and then I went and got changed into my clothes which I wore here.

"I think we got some real good ones today." "Me too. Thank you." I thanked the photographer. "I'll email them to you and your managers." "Okay, bye." I grinned and went outside where Cara was sat in her car waiting for me. "Hey!" I got in the passenger's seat. "Take some good pics?" "I think so." I nodded. "Good. You ready to go shopping?" "Yeah!" I cheered.

"The boys said they'll meet us there." "Okay." I smiled. "How's Bump?" I rubbed her tummy. "Bump's doing fine. I have a scan tomorrow." "Yay! More pictures of Bump." I grinned. Like most families do, we named Cara's tummy Bump. Haha.

"I need to get some new stuff because I look like a marshmellow in all my bikinis." I giggled at her. "You're hardly showing." I said. "Trust me, I do." "Okay." I let her win. "How are you and Cody? I heard that you were fighting last night." "How did you hear that?" "Trey said." "How did Trey know?" "Cody." "Oh right." I looked out the window.

"What happened?" "I told Cody I was going to hang out with Paul but I lied because I knew he wouldn't want me to be with Marcus." "So he likes Paul but not Marcus?" "Yes." "How did he find out?" "He saw us and then when I got home he just started shouting at me. He said he was disappointed in me because I lied to him. But he wouldn't have let me go otherwise." "He's just scared." Cara said.

"Scared of what?" "Scared that you're going to show him how much he hurt you." "You don't know that." "He told Trey himself." "He did?" "Yes." "It's not fair on me. I haven't done anything to not be trusted and he has and I'm expected to trust him." "Talk to him." "I've tried. He gets mad everytime I try." "I'm sorry, sweetie." "It's gonna be okay, right?" I looked at her. "Of course it is." She smiled.

We parked in the parking lot of the mall and went inside. Trey and Cody were stood by the water fountain. It's a week day so there's hardly anyone in the mall and no teens. "Hey." I smiled. "You like me now?" Cody put his arm around my shoulder. "No." "That'll change." Cody smirked. "No talking to my baby sister like that while I'm around." Trey pulled me out of Cody grip.

"That's cool. I'll just chill with your girlfriend." Cody said which made me and Cara laugh. "What do we need to buy you?" Trey asked me. "I want some bikinis, underwear and maybe some new outfits." "We're doing bikinis first." Cara said, Trey nodded in acknowledgment. "But I don't need you to come with me to buy the new underwear." I giggled. "You need me though." Cody grinned.

"She's a baby!" "She's 16!" Cody fought back at Trey. "She's my baby." He looked at me. "She's my good girl." Cody appeared at my side. "Stop. Before someone gets mad." Cara pulled Trey away. "Let's go in here." I pulled Cody's hand into a clothes store, Trey and Cara followed.

"I need one pieces." "No you don't." Trey told Cara. "I do." "You need to embrace the fact that there's a person growing inside you. You're beautiful no matter what." "Oh boy. He's worse than you." I looked at Cody which made him laugh. "I think Cara should buy whatever she feels comfortable in." I said. "Thank you, Lauren." She smiled.

"It's okay." I picked up bright red bikini. "I like that." Cara picked up another one of the same type. "You hungry?" Trey asked Cody. "Yeah." "You wanna go get some food?" "You're bored already?" I turned around. "When she's giving birth are you gonna just turn to Cody and be like 'Yo, you wanna go get some food, man?' or what?" "That's different to buying clothes." He said.
