Ch 8: First Night

Nash's POV

"Hey guys I have an idea, why don't we play truth or dare." Someone suggests. Everyone agrees and we begin the game.

After a few pretty tame rounds, it comes to me. "Nash, truth or dare?" Knowing that truth was going to be something about Rowan I avoided that and chose dare. That was a bad idea.

"I dare you to kiss Rowan. And not one of those lame pecks, I mean a full out make out sesh." They whole room starts cheering and murmuring.

Rowan and I give each other the same look of 'what the heck is wrong with these people.'

We both lean in and we kiss. As we are going at it their cheers begin to fade as I notice no one else besides the girl I am locking lips with.

Our bodies moved closer and our tongues intertwined. Suddenly all the problems, all the drama, all the questions, they don't matter right now. All it is, is me and Rowan. Quickly I was snapped back into reality with Cameron shoving me to the side while yelling at me to get off his sister. Then back came all the problems and all the drama and all the questions.

"Dude, what the he'll are you doing!" He shouts.

"Cam, calm down. It was a dare, that's how these things work." I yell back.

We went on arguing for a good couple of minutes before Rowan intervenes.

"Greir, Dallas, hallway, now!!" She yells causing everyone to go silent. We both walk out leaving everyone else in the room flabbergasted.

"What is wrong with you two? You were doing fine like a week ago." She says.

"You two were making out! One, you have a boyfriend. Two, you're my sister and my best friend. Three, we already have a bunch of drama within the four of us, we don't need more." Cameron explains.

"Hey, look at me. All that was, was a dare, nothing more, ok." I felt oddly hurt by that. As much as I hate to think it, I felt something between us And she just brushed it off. But she continued. "And there doesn't have to be drama. I think we can both agree that the both of us stepped out of line here. If I forgive you will you forgive me?" Rowan says calmly.

"I would want nothing more." Cam smiles and they hug.

"Now what about you and Nash?" She urges.

"He still chose your side over mine."

I scoff.

"Hey, hey, hey. Think of it like this, it's not about whose side it was, it's about what the side stood for. In this case, he stood for the right of a 16 year old girl to have a boyfriend. Instead of trying to keep one away from her." Rowan says.

"Ya, you're right. I was just upset that you were spending time with them over me. I was afraid I was going to loose you." Cameron admits.

"Never." Rowan states and we all go in for a long hug.

"Now that the three of us are good, what about you and Hayes?" I ask.

"What about us?"

"It's still awkward between you two." Cameron says what I'm thinking.

"What can I do? I blew him off because I started dating Corbyn." Rowan asks.

"How bout apologise. He's miserable without you." I say.

"But what will we be after that? No matter what we say or do, we can't go back to normal." Rowan states.

"Hey, you will think of something." I comfort her.

"I just texted him to come out here. It's now or never." Cameron says.

The door opens and out pops Hayes. "Is everything ok out here?" He asks.

"The three of us are, but you and Row have some things you need to work out." I say. The both of them turn a deep shade of pink.

"Hayes, I'm so sorry for blowing you off. It's just that night you asked me out at the beach, a little later Corbyn and I kissed. I didn't- I wasn't thinking about how this would affect you. And the truth is, I miss my best friend." She says beginning to tear up.

Immediately, out of instincts, Hayes captures her in a tight, heartfelt hug. "You could never loose me." I faintly heard him whisper in her ear.

Cameron and I slip away unnoticed leaving them alone.

Hayes POV

I missed her so much. Her small arms wrapped around my neck and and her face was nussled into my neck. My arms tightly around her waist, pulling her closer. I know I can't have her all to myself, but this is the closest I could get.

I almost started crying when I felt her tears on my shirt. I can't believe I made her feel this sad, I will never forgive myself.

"Don't worry, I'm here. I'll never leave you this way again. I'm so sorry. For everything." I whisper to her. We stand there for a few minutes more until we finally break apart.

"You should probably get back in there." She says wipping her tear stained cheeks.

"What about you?" I ask.

"I'm going to head off to bed, today's been a lot." She chuckles, making me smile knowing she wasn't broken anymore.

"It's been a lot for all of us. Here, I'll walk you to your room." I offer and we head off.

When we got to the door, she gave me one last tight hug before walking inside.

I went back to the room I shared with Cameron and he was already passed out. I got into my bed and tried to fall asleep, but all I could think about was Rowan and Nash's more than a kiss.

I know we just made up and everything, but I couldn't stop thinking about it. It looked so real, so natural for the both of them. As I replay the scene in my head I notice something, there was tongue...

Am I an idiot not to realize it sooner? They have been all over each other since the plane ride. When Nash got the dare, neither if them even hesitated. There is something going on with them.
