Mel's pov
"Well damn, I don't think I've ever seen you so feisty." I say patting Jodie on the back. Then I watch as Hayes and carter make their way towards her at the same time. They stop, look at each other and everyone goes silent. Hayes smiles and motions carter forward. Carter pats Hayes on the shoulder and then carter makes his way to Jodie. They sit there and stare at each other for a minute and then Jodie jumps into his arms. I'm surprised by Hayes's choice. He turns to me and shrugs.
"Carter was here first." I smile and Pat Hayes's head.
"You're a smart boy." He smiles.
"When it comes to the girl I love, I guess I am smart." I smile at Hayes's words
"You didn't have to do that." Carter says when Jodie and him separate. She smiles.
"Well somebody had to, and you surely weren't going to do it." everyone laughs and Hayes walks up to the two, instead of hugging Jodie, Hayes hugs Carter.
"I'm sorry for punching you in the face." Carter laughs.
"I'm sorry I didn't knock." Hayes shakes his smiling. Taylor pretends to cry.
"It's so beautiful." I shake my head and pull his white beanie over his face. He laughs and fixes it.
"Jodie, I'm proud that you stood up to her like that, I don't think any of us could, well I mean Mel would, and same with Taylor. But you, you were strong. The way you defend carter, that true friendship, and I don't want to every separate y'all with stupid ass drama like that again. Carter nods and smiles.
"I know that Jodie and I, we aren't meant to be together, we are meant to be best friends. I don't think that'd ever be possible, I don't get how you put up with her." He says and Jodie pushes him. I laugh and hug Carter.
"it's nice to have you back." Carter look at me and smiles.
"It's nice to have me back. Besides, I don't think she was really that pretty anyways, she didn't even like Justin bieber!" Everyone groans but laughs. Jodie and I walk away from the crowd of people and sit down outside.
"Everyone's forgiving everyone, are you going to forgive Cameron." I laugh and shrug.
"yeah and what's that going to do? then he's going to want to start back up again." Jodie shakes her head.
"No why wo-"
"Jodie he kissed me the other day." Her eyes are wide in shock and her jaw hangs open.
"close your mouth, you're gonna catch flies." I say and she does.
"Wait but, you, did you kiss him back?" I place my finger on my lips.
"I don't know, maybe, yeah?" She grins.
"holy shit you liked it." I let out a quick sigh
"What is the deal about that? of course I liked it, Cameron is still Cameron. Hi lips and mine just fit perfectly and then like, it just felt like the old times, you know. I felt like we were back in our apartment, planning a scuba diving trip for Sunday and it's just crazy. But then there's Taylor."
"Who is the best boyfriend you could ever ask for, he truly is the best choice for you, I don't want to see you screw up a good and perfect thing like you two." I shrug.
"Gee thanks, no pressure right." She smiles.
"Mel, you're going to do what you want, I know that, you always go against my words, this time, just be smart about it." She stands up and walks away. I shake my head at her not understanding what she's talking about. I'm also guessing she chose Hayes over carter, I mean I'm not sure if she was choosing or what the deal was.
~~~
The next days are crazy because now that carter and Deborah are split the fans are even more nosy. Hayes and Jodie are even closer than ever and it's actually sickening how "In love they are" Carter came to me yesterday and asked me how was my life. H wanted all the details on Cameron and what was happening. He also told me a little fact that Jodie left out, about her passionate kiss.
"it was her way of saying I'm sorry we're friends." I say and he scoffs.
"It's a pretty interesting way of saying it." I nod
"Well that's Jodie, she's interesting all on her own. Are you upset about her choice?" He shrugs
"i mean, I wasn't really expecting her to chose, but it was nice to know that she told me, that we were just friends and she didn't feel that way for me. Maybe she did once, but her and hayes are so like caught up in each other." I smile and nod.
"So you're not made she kicked your girlfriend out." he shakes his head.
"nah, you were right, I was dating her to get at Jodie." I smirk.
"I know, I always am right." Carter nods and I bit my lip.
"Are you two going to the funeral together, or what?" he nods,
"yeah we're missing myrtle beach, then we'll be back for Orlando." I grab my phone and text Taylor.
"carter do you think it's bad that Taylor and I are like not sleeping with each other?" He looks at me funny.
"Mel, when has this ever mattered? No I mean I think it's fine, like you're keeping your love clean, I don't know, It's your personal choice. Jodie and I know it's the whole Cameron situation, but from Taylor's eyes and everyone else's, it's very modest." I chuckle and agree.
Jodie's pov
"Are you sure you have everything?" Hayes asks looking at my bag one more time. I groan.
"Yes Hayes. I swear, I've checked a billion times." He smiles and kisses me.
"i'm gunna miss you." I smile
"Don't find a hooker in myrtle beach." He smiles and wraps his arms around my waist.
"Why would I need one, I have you." I raise a brow.
"Really is that what I am to you?" He shakes his head.
"No, you're so much more." Hayes grabs my luggage and with the other hand he grabs mine.
"Let's get you to a funeral." he says and I frown. It's not where I want to be going, but I have to. We walk down to the lobby and carter is already in the taxi that is taking us to the airport. Hayes loads my stuff in the car and then stops when he goes to open the car door for me. He snatches me up and pulls me into a passionate kiss. Is Hayes really doing thing. I let him lead the make out session. The car honks and Hayes pulls away. Breathless I smile.
"God I'm going to fucking miss you." I smile.
"Hayes it's a couple days." He nods
" I love you, stay say." I nod.
" I love you too Hayes."
It's a small flight to North Carolina. When we get to the hotel I throw my luggage on the ground and sigh.
"Well this is a nice room." Carter says stumbling into the room with me. I laugh.
"Carter we've already had this destruction." I slur and he looks at me funny.
"Aye we should watch tv." Carter says
I walk over to the little desk, looking for the TV guide and the wifi password. Then I feel it. The hands on my hips. I smile, and set my phone and water on the desk. As soon as I turn around Carter's lips are on mine. His hips slowly grind into mine and his name leaves my lips.
"God damn Jodie" he says as his lips trail down my neck. I bite my lip
"Carter you're drunk." He smirks.
"And so are you." I close my eyes and he presses his lips back to mine.
"Let me show you how a real man does it, come on Jodie, let loose." He says and I smirk.
"No let me show you." I say pushing his chest making him fall onto the bed.
