Be My First - A Jack Gilinsky Fanfiction

Chapter 19 - It's Okay

    We all got something for Cam at the grocery store. The boys got him his favorite candy and some stuff that had an inside joke behind it. Me and Ava got him tons of balloons and a giant teddy bear. When were walking out, a couple of girls started screaming and asked all of them for a picture. Me and Ava stood awkwardly to the side with the bags while they talked to the fans. Its funny... That would be me if I saw them at the grocery store.

    When we arrived at the hospital, it got kind of quiet again. We walked into Cam's room. There was already a few letters and presents that I'll bet a few fans dropped off at the front. He still wasn't awake, which made my stomach drop. I took the balloons and placed them on a table next to him and Ava put the giant teddy bear on a chair. The boys put their things on another table. We all stood there for a long while and looked at him. I went over and picked up his hand. I rubbed it. Yes he was sick, laying in a hospital bed, but his hands were the same. Warm and soft. His hair looked messy. I couldn't help but cry.

    Jack came over and put his arm around me. The boys surrounded Cam's bed. We sat there for about 5 minutes and then decided to leave. We'll be coming back really soon.

    We arrived at Jack's about 15 minutes later. The cops were still upstairs and one of them came down to talk to us.

   "Hey we're still searching for something. Haven't found anything that could lead us to anyone yet. When your friend wakes up, we'll most likely have all the information we need. It just takes time." he said.

   We all said okay and went downstairs.

A few of the boys grabbed Popsicles. I did too.

   Matt turned the TV on.

   "Famous social media sensation Cameron Dallas reportedly has fallen into a coma at his friends house in Omaha, Nebraska earlier today. Prayers and wishes go out to his family and friends. People are using the hash tag #PrayForCam on Twitter to show support." It was the local news. We all listened.

   "News gets out so fast." Matt said.

   "Tell me about it. I have 10 thousand followers now." I stated.

   "O-M-G girl. You're so famous. I only have 1 million." Jack mocked me. I rolled my eyes and smiled.

   "Hey guys?" Everyone looked at me.

   "I just wanted to say thanks for accepting me and Ava into this family and even though we've only known each other for a short amount of time, I feel like we're pretty close. I feel so happy to be a part of this, and we are going to get through all of this. When cam wakes up, we'll throw one hell of a party."

   They all smiled and agreed. A few of them patted me on the back.

   "Cheers to the beautiful Paige and her friend Ava for their amazing personalities and for caring about us so much. We think you're both great. Welcome to the family." Matt held up his Popsicle.

   Everyone cheered. I felt more happy than I ever have in my entire life at this moment. My mom called.

   "Hello?" I held my phone to my ear.

   "Paige, your grandparents are leaving in about 3 hours. Why haven't you been home? Please, please come visit them before they go home."

   "Oh! I'm sorry! I forgot. We've been really caught up with the feud with Cameron, Sorry. I'm on the way."

   "Thank you. See you soon." She hung up.

   "You leaving?" Jack asked.

   "My grandparents are leaving to go back home in a few hours and I've barely seen them. I'm just going to go say bye. They probably want to see Ava, too." She got up from the floor.

   "We'll be back soon. I mean, if you aren't sick of us." I smirked. They laughed and said bye.

   We got into Ava's car and drove to my house. My dad was outside by the rosebush explaining something to my grandma. I looked at the time. 4:15pm.

   Ava and I got out.

   "Aaaavaaa!!" My grandma came over and gave Ava a giant hug. She's known Ava forever. She's basically my sister.

   "Hi grandma." Ava laughed while my grandma pinched her cheeks.

   "You both look like you could be on the cover of Teen Vogue. Stunning. Let me get my camera." We both laughed as she ran inside.

   "I always love when she comes over." Ava was smiling. My dad walked over.

   "You missed planting tomatoes this morning." He held his hand over his eyes to block the sun.

   "I'm sorry, our friend cam went into a coma, we had to visit him and we were just in shock."

   "Mom told me, that's terrible. You can visit him anytime you need to."

    My grandma came running back with her camera. Me and Paige put our arms around each other and smiled.

   "SAY CHEESE GIRLS!" She yelled. We both laughed and said it.

   She put her camera back in the bag.

   "Paige you look like you stole some of Ava's clothes." She said.

   "Yeah, I did." I looked at my outfit.

   "You look darling." She hugged me.

   "Your dad is here teaching me how to plant flawless roses so I can compete against my neighbors this summer." She smiled.

   "That's great, he's pretty good." I grinned.

   "And your grandpa is inside teaching mom how to make perfect cheesecakes, which benefits everyone." My dad winked.

   "CHEESCAKE!" Me and Ava looked at each other and yelled. We ran inside to the kitchen.

   "Hey sweet pea!" My grandpa hugged me. He smelt like blueberry cheesecake.

   "Wow, Ava you look great! Great to see you!" He hugged her.

   "Hey, its great to see you too!"

   "Hi Ava! Haven't seen you in a couple days.. It's almost unusual when you're not around." My mom said, taking the cheesecake out of the oven.

   "Hi Amy! Yeah, I know, I'm always here. I'm surprised you haven't kicked me out before." My mom and Ava laughed.

   "Is your friend Cameron okay?" She asked.

   "We brought him some presents earlier. He's still sleeping.." I looked at the ground.

    She came over and hugged me.

   "When he wakes up, invite him over for some blueberry cheesecake." She kissed my forehead and went over to the fridge.

   "You might need more than 1 pan of cheesecake.." Ava laughed. She was referring to the boys.

   "Why?" My mom questioned.

   "Oh um, he has a good appetite, hahah." I lied.

   "Yeah." Ava laughed.

   My mom looked at us suspiciously.

   "They're still mischievous." My grandpa said.
