A Different Kind of Love

Chapter 8

*Mahogany's pov*

No, it can't be. How could Nash get hit by a car? He's usually safe and looks both ways. Unlike Hayes.

"What exactly happened?" I asked.

"Well, he was walking across the street and a drunk driver hit him."

"Will he be ok?"

"We don't know yet. He should be out of surgery soon."

"Ok. Thank you sir. I really appreciate it."

"It's the least I could do. I'm sure Mr. Grier would be very happy to know that all of you care so much."

We all went outside and sat on one of the benches in the hallway. We all waited in suspense for the news from the doctors. The clock kept on ticking. What seemed like hours, was only minutes.

I couldn't even imagine what was going through Cameron's mind at the moment. His best friend was dying. I wouldn't survive if that was Jacob in there. I felt so bad for Nash though. He didn't deserve this. This should've been me. Not him.

"Excuse me for a moment," Cameron said while getting up.

"I'm going to go and check on him. Ok?" I said to Jacob.

"Ok."

I followed him and he ended up sitting on the curb crying.

"Cameron. Are you ok?"

"Mahogany, what if he doesn't make it? What if my best friend dies? My life will be over. He's my best friend. He's my buddy. He's my brother."

"Cameron, don't think like that. You just need to think positive thoughts." I squatted in front of him and looked into his eyes. He was crying. He had a really good feeling that he wasn't going to make it. He didn't want to think it but he did.

"Cameron. It's ok. We're here for you. Nash will make it. He loves you. We all love you. We're all here for you. If you ever need anything, just tell us and we'll be there."

"Thanks LOX. That means a lot. How are you not stressing about this though?"

"I am stressing. I cried on the way here. Nash is one of my best friends. I don't know what I would do without him. I just try to think positive thoughts. If you think negatively, it might happen. I know from experience."

"What happened?"

"Well, awhile ago, my parents went to California for a trip and then there was a major earthquake. My mom got severely injured. I didn't think she was going to make it. And unfortunately, the next day, she passed away."

"Oh. I'm sorry for your loss."

"it's fine. I just wish she could see me and my career. She was my biggest supporter. She was the one who helped me through all the good and bad times. She taught me to keep my head held high. I've learned so much. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have been here. I would've probably been working at Subway or something." I tried to hold back the tears. I loved her deeply and she loved me.

"Mahogany. I don't know her but I know she was a good woman. She sounds like she made a huge difference in your life. She taught me something. She just taught me through her beautiful daughter, to have positive thoughts." I couldn't help but to blush.

"Hey is everything alright?" Jacob said while walking out to check on us.

"Ya we're fine."

"What happened?" I hadn't realized that I was crying. I was trying to fight the tears but they fought back too hard and I lost the battle.

"I told the story of my mom and how she was such a big supporter of my career. I also said that I learned that being negative, turns to reality."

"I just have to think positive thoughts on Nash," Cameron said.

"That's right. Everyone thought both of you guys got hit by a car. You've been out here for like 30 minutes."

"Zayum! I didn't realize we were out here for that long," Cameron said while trying to fake a smile.

We headed back in and everyone got all excited to see us since we didn't get hit by a car.

We all fell asleep until the doctors came in. We all suddenly woke up.

"Is he ok?"

"He's fine. He just got out of surgery. He's in the recovery room so you guys can go in and see him. Only one person at a time can go in first. We don't want to overwhelm him."

"YASSS!!!" We all screamed.

"Cameron, you can go first." Everyone agreed. He's been through the most pain.

"Nah, it's fine. Hayes can go first. It's his brother."

"Ya but you're basically a brother too. You can go first man. I'll go next. It's fine," Hayes said.

"Thanks man."

*Cameron's pov*

I headed into Nash's room. Excitement filled inside me all at once. I was going to see my best friend again.

"Hey buddy. I know you're asleep but I want you too know that I'm so glad you're ok. You almost have me a heart attack. I love ya man. You're my brother. My best friend. I missed you like crazy. When you wake up, I'm going to squeeze you. I love ya man and I hope you know that," I whispered to him.

*Nash's pov*

I could hear everything he said. I just couldn't speak or open my eyes. I knew it was Cameron. I couldn't tell by only his voice but by his speech and when he said "my brother," I knew it was him right away.

There was a burning in my throat. That's why I couldn't speak.

Everyone from Magcon came in telling me how they loved me and how I scared the living hell out of them. The one that stood out at me the most was Cameron's. He was my best friend. He was my brother.

*Cameron's pov*

I walked back in after everyone was done and Nash opened his eyes a little bit.

"Nash! Oh my God! Man I missed you." He had a gas mask over his face. Next think I know, he's having a seizure.

"NURSE! HURRY!" They pushed me out of the room and took him back into surgery. That was officially, the worst day of all of Magcon's life.
