Live Simply

Chapter 36

Bella's POV

We were all sitting in Hailey's room in silence. No one said a word. All you could hear were Matts muffled sobs.

Nash was on the phone with Bart, canceling all of our events within the next three weeks.

I looked up to see Cameron waltzing in with a huge smile on his face.

He sat down next to me on the floor.

"Where'd you go?" I whispered in his ear. He motioned for me to follow him. We walked outside the door.

"I went to see a girl." He said smiling.
I couldn't believe him.

"Cameron your dating Natalie." I whispered yelled. He put his hands up.

"She has cancer Bella. I went to cheer her up." He said. I let out a sigh of relief.

"She really loves Magcon. Her name is Ivy and she has a rare type of leukemia. She only has a few months maybe to live. Do you think it'd be a good idea to bring her and meet all the guys?" He asked me.

He sounded really passionate about this and when Cameron is passionate about something, he goes for it.

"Cameron, that's a great idea." I said hugging him. We walked back into the room and sat down. Natalie looked at us and glared. What was that about.

"Go sit with your girlfriend." I said in a normal voice. Everyone's head perked up.

"No. I don't want to sit next to my girlfriend. She wants to protect herself." He said sitting down in the floor next to Jack G.

"I'm sorry Cameron. I don't need you as my shadow!" She yelled standing up and running out the door. I get up and follow her.

"Natalie. NATALIE!" I said slowing my run to a walk. Natalie stopped and sat on the floor, her back against the wall.

I slowly walked up to her and sat down next to her.

"Natalie, whatever is going on, you can talk to me." I said wrapping my arm around her shoulders. She looked at me.

"I love Cameron, but he can't just follow me around like a shadow. I don't need him to protect me." She said starting to cry.

"I know." I said. "But he loves you too. That's why he wants to protect you, he loves you more than anything." I said. She looked at me and held her head.

"Great, all this drama is making my head hurt even more." She said standing up.

I watched her start to walk down the hall. I stood up and when I looked back at her, she was on the floor shaking.

"HELP! SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP." I yelled sprinting to her side. A nurse and a doctor with a stretcher was at her side in minutes. God please let her be okay.

Nash's POV

"Dude what happened?" I asked Cameron as Natalie ran out of the room.

"Nothing." He answered running his finders through his hair. He was frustrated.

"On a happier note-" he started saying. Bella came running into the room with tears streaming down her face.

"Guys! Natalie just had a stroke!" She stopped, panting.

"What?" We all yelled in unison. Instantly Hailey became chopped liver and everyone ran out to the nurses station.

"Natalie Wilson. She was just brought in." Bella yelled at the nurse.

"Yes the doctors brought her directly to x-Rays. We need to know what is wrong with her." She said with a sorry look on her face.

Matts turned and walked back to Haileys room. Caila, Aaron and Johnson followed him.

"Matt." I said. He didn't stop walking but turned his head.

"I need to be there for her, when she wakes up." He said turning into Hailey's room.

"I don't know about you guys, but I'm hungry." Bella said backing up. Everyone shrugged and followed Bella to the café. Everyone but Cameron.

"You coming dude?" I asked. He looked at me as he sat down on one of the uncomfortable chairs in the waiting room.

"No. I'm going to wait here for Natalie." He said taking out his phone. What? I'm so confused. Is he mad at her or not.

"I thought you are mad at her bro." I said.

"Just because I'm mad at her, doesn't mean I don't love her." He answered.
