Don't Let My Fish Drown ( Nev and Max)

Late Night

Nev's POV:

We finally got in front of the hotel and I looked at the car clock to realize it was two in the morning. I looked over at Max and found him sleeping all curled up in the passenger seat. I poked him in his side where I knew he was ticklish in. He first snored, then started giggling and swatting my hand away while pulling his body away from me.

We get out the car and I grab my stuff and see Max dramatically shrug his bag over his back. He always becomes this melodramatic and lazy person when he is exhausted.

We go inside and check in and I see a red-box booth on the side of the check in counter.

"Hey man do you want to get a movie tonight? " I asked Max who was exhausted and I knew wouldn't want to watch anything but the inside of his eyelids. I for some reason can never get any sleep and I am always up until very late and sleep during the day (when I'm not on set of course). Max rubs his eyes with his hands and looks at the selection of movies.

"Can we pick it now and just watch it tomorrow night? Its Friday and we don't start filming until Monday, so let's do it tomorrow night okay?" Max asks in a pleading voice. I look over at him and slap his back gently.

"Why don't you go into your room and hit the sack, alright man? I will pick the movies" I asked as he nodded  and I watched as he dragged his body towards the elevator. I decided a good movie would be "Transformers" but I also thought "Quarantine" was a good one too, since Max didn't do well with anything scary. I chuckled in my throat and rented both movies and went to the elevator. I got inside and saw this guy with a nice suit on with a tie very much loosened and hair a mess.

"Hey man you okay?" I asked after two floors have passed. He turned towards me and chuckled out loud.

"I've never been better" he said with a sarcastic tone.

"I'm Nev, me and my friend Max are here to film our t.v show called Catfish. Have you heard of it?" I asked half hoping he did and didn't. He shook his head no and I explained to him what it was about and what roles Max and I play in it.

"Wow man that's great, at least your making it for yourself, you know? You gotta girl at home?" he asked and I nodded. He then shook his head in shock and disapproval and took out his hand.

"I am so sorry for my selfish manners. I'm Nathan but you can call me Nate" Nate said as I shook his hand while the elevator doors opened. I saw it was a floor that was not mine and saw Nate say his goodbye and walked out, when I stopped him and held the elevator door.

"Hey Nate? Would you wanna come to my room and watch a movie? I have Transformers and Quarantine if you want to watch any of them?" I asked with a bit of desperation in my voice hoping I wouldn't have to be bored and because I didnt want to go to sleep just yet. .Nate's eyes lit up and bit and smirked.

"Can I bring beer?" he asked while putting his hands deep in his pockets with a slight pink in his cheeks.

"Oh hell yeah let's do this" I said and told Nate my room number to meet me and let the elevator doors close. I texted Max right away and told him about it.

Hey man I am having this cool guy I met in the elevator to hang out with me to watch a movie. Sure you don't wanna come with? I asked biting my lip hoping he would come for a guys night.

What guy? he answered back.

His name is Nate , I only met him in the elevator and he looks like he can use a movie and some beer. Please come . It's going to be in my room 1205. I promise it will be fun. I said and finally got to my floor which was on the twelfth floor. I looked to my left and saw 1200 and moved down the odd side. Just before I opened my door my phone beeps and it's from Max.

Nah man I'm good but save some of those beers for tomorrow. Night N. The disappointment sunk my stomach in and I opened the door and called Genie. I told her about everything and Nate and said how much I miss her and loved her. We said our goodbyes and my hotel phone rang loudly giving me a little jolt and I answered.

"Hey Nev it's Nate" Nate said while sighing. I kinda got the hint and spoke before he was even going to say it.

"Don't even worry man maybe next time okay?" I said and he thanked me profusely and hung up. I looked about my room and flung my body on my bed and spreading my arms and legs. My phone beeped again and I looked at it to see it was a message from Max.

Max's POV:

Don't have too much fun. I texted Nev after I found out he was going to hang out with this guy named Nate. It's not that I cared like that that they were hanging around, it's just I know the later Nev stays up the harder it is to get him up.

Jealous? ;) he responded and I rolled my eyes and pressed my lips together.

Ofcourse. I thought I was your true love. Are you cheating on me? I texted back playfully and turned on my side laying on my bed.

Never baby, your mine forever. I chuckled and another text came in. He called my room number and cancelled so now Im all alone :(

First, your weird as hell lol. Second why don't you try sleeping for once, you have to prepare for what I have in store.

Oh stop you love it. and alright "prince charming" don't let the bed bugs bite. He said and I didn't text back, knowing if I did then he will really never go to sleep. I layed on my back with my arms tucked under my head and thought about my mom. My mom means everything to me. She has leukemia and has had it for two years now. For any cancer patient that would have been a miracle but everyday I get scared of one day she might not fight anymore. I never told Nev about or really anyone for that matter because I thought it was going to just bring me to the one thing I hate most. Sympathy. I know especially when having a loved one who is sick that's all they want to to is tell you is how sorry they are, and most of the time your left wondering if they really mean it or not. So that's kind of another big thing that I hate is liars and lying. So when Nev had his situation, when it came to this girl Megan, I automatically stepped to the plate when Nev said he wants to make a T.V show about it. To catch these people that are lying about themselves and how they truly feel.

I pulled the covers tighter around my shoulders, and the last thing I thought was how much fun I was going to have with Nev tomorrow.
