ALONE j.g.

Chapter 15

Rhiannas POV

The bell rang and I start to walk towards the entrance of the school. I walk out the front to see Cams car. I quickly make my way over to his car and get in.

“I told the boys they could come over today after they go to the mall if that’s alright”

“Sure” he says with a warm smile

On the way to his house we dance and sing to songs that come on the radio. I swear he always knows how to make me feel better. We soon stop outside his house and quickly get out of his car and go inside.

“Okay what do you wanna do?” he asked. I just shrug while he rolls his eyes.  “Well we can watch a movie if you want”

“Sure sounds fun, what movie?”

“Because I love you I’ll let us watch ‘Perks of being a Wallflower’” I give him a smile before sitting down on the couch.

“Okay well I’m gonna get food out of my stash. Don’t go anywhere.” I nod. He soon comes back with a tub of choc-chip cookie-dough ice-cream, lollies, popcorn and chips and places them down on the small table in front of us.

While we’re half way through the movie we get interrupted by a loud knock on the door which soon turns into a beat. I laugh already knowing it’s the boys.

As soon as I open the door the boys walk in and go to where cam is. We all sit there for a while.

“We should go swimming” Cam says out of the blue

“We should but I didn’t bring togs” I say

“Guess you’ll just have to go naked.” Sammy says. Before I can respond Jack speaks

“Shut the fuck up.” He says with a glare. Sammy puts his hands up in surrender.

“You can borrow Sierras togs since she’s went on holiday and she loves you so I’m sure she wouldn’t care, like always.”

“Okay fine, I’ll be right back.”

I quickly go into Siarras room and grab a pair of black togs and get change. Once I’m finished I grab a towel from across the hall and begin to go outside.

When I walk out the boys are already shirtless in the pool. They all stop what they’re doing and look up at me.

“You know if you’re about to go swimming you’re going to have to put the towel down.” Sammy says with a smirk. I roll my eyes and slowly take the towel away.

Sammy and Jack gawk at me. I begin to feel self-conscious and try to cover my body with my hands. Jack raises his eyebrow and gets out of the pool to walk over to me. He gives me a warm smile until it turn into a devious grin. Before I figure out what he’s up to he chucks me over his shoulder and begins to walk towards the pool.

“Jack please no!” he just laughs. Soon enough he’s jumped in the pool. I rise from under the water and hit him playfully.

Once were finish swimming we go inside. Cam goes upstairs to have a shower, and the boys are in the lounge while I go in the kitchen to get some water. In the corner of my eye I see filed papers, me being the curious person I am I go look.

It was for Hospital payments? Before I can read anymore more Cam comes in the kitchen.

“Hey what are you doing-” he stops as his eyes dart to the paper in my hand.

“What’s this?” I ask him. He remains silent. “Cam why are you paying a hospital bill?” He still doesn’t answer as his eyes dart to the ground. “Cam… please”

“Rhianna I’m sorry” was all he said

“Please tell my you’re lying” I beg tear forming in my eyes

“I’m sorry” he says while keep his eyes on the ground

“How bad is it?” again he’s silent again and avoids eye contact. “Cam how bad is it!”

“Its stage 4, I only have a couple months left,”

I couldn’t contain it any longer. I dropped to the ground and began to cry.  Cam quickly runs over to me and cradles me in his arms.

“I’m so sorry beautiful, you don’t deserve this” he whispers to me. I just hid my face in his shirt while tears streamed down my face, wishing this was all a nightmare and I’d wake up any second.

But it wasn’t and I had to face the reality that my best friend had cancer.

I always thought I’d be the one to die first instead. I mentally curse to myself wishing it was me instead of him. But I know I can’t change it and now I have to deal with losing my best friend.
