Rather Pretend (Cameron Dallas)

Chapter Sixteen: Unexpected

Love me like you do- Ellie Goulding

Chapter 16

The events yesterday was scary and heartbreaking. Everything happened in front of me. After all that, I don't really know what happened. Jenny was with Nash and I know she will be okay. Also Nash since he was beaten up.

I'm currently blow drying my hair for school. My eyes are bloodshot because of the stress I handled yesterday. Including Trevor's too.

I grab the nearest cloth I can see in my closet as I wear it lazily. I mean who wants to go to school on a friday? Nada. My phone starts to ring and I read a message from Jenny.

Jenny: Hey. I'm gonna be absent today xx

I didn't reply anything because I don't know what to say. Her message doesn't really need an answer though. I pack the things that I need in my bag and scurried off downstairs.

I grab a box of cornflakes with a carton of milk and eat them silently. The only sound in my surroundings is the munching of the flakes and you would know how crunchy it is just with the sound.

The Nash and Carter fight is not the only issue today. One of the issues is also my parents coming back to New York. I mean even though I have this huge hatred towards them it lessened because I realized there doing it for us. There flight is later at 5 pm.

I decided to have a half day today since I need to say my goodbyes to them. There currently in the airport waiting for their flight.

I get my bag from the stool and take the bus.

The classes went out in a blur. I was just thinking whether to cry or smile or do nothing later. Nash and I are going to the airport. It has been 8 hours since me and Jenny talked. I know, I counted it.

Silence fills the place until Nash coughs.

"So, how's school?" He suddenly asks. It was a random question for sure. Just for the sake of breaking the ice.

"Err, fine."

He nods and continues driving. I stare at my phone without an acceptable reason and right on cue, my phone beeps.

Camburger: Hey. I'm sorry.

The message left me confused as I drift on a dreamless slumber.

"Hey. Wake up." A finger pokes my shoulders and I slowly open my eyes, revealing Nash.

"Yeah yeah I'm up." I groan as I fix my hair in the side mirror. When I was done, we walk towards the departure area.

The cold air sends shivers down my spine. My eyes traveled to my parents seated at the waiting area. I wave at them and they waved back.

"Hey Kids." Mom greeted while embracing us one by one.

"Hey pumpkins." Dad says that made Nash and I chuckle. "Hey Mom and Dad." We both said in unison and sat beside them.

*

"Passengers of PR304, California to New York City. Please proceed to the airplane as we are ready for boarding. Thank you." A voice says that makes mom and dad stand up and get their luggages.

"Good bye kids. Don't forget the things I told you! We will call regularly. We love you." Mom embraces us with tears in her eyes.

"Nash, please stay with a permanent girl." Dad says and Nash nods then laugh.

"And you, Amandie. No secrets! Tell me if you have a boy friend or else." Dad threatens and I also nod. I kiss them both on the cheeks and mutter 'I Love You's.

Not after long, they left. Leaving me and Nash alone again in California.

I'm seated on one of the chairs in the little cafe inside the airport. Nash left since he will attend some sort of party tonight. I drink my coffee slowly as I space out.

I was interrupted by a hand grabbing the chair across me and a guy starts sitting in it.

"That seat is taken." I murmur like a drunk and wasted teenage girl. I look up and my eyes go super wide.

Harry?

"Hey Amanda." He smirks while showing his 'dimples'. Why is he even here?

"What? I-I mean wha why?" I stutter, struggling to find my voice. Across me is the school's bad boy, popular and the richest teenager in town. Who wouldn't be shocked?

"What? Harry can't go to an airport?" He mocks. Probably enjoying it.

I let out a sarcastic laugh. "You got a point!" I squint my eyes. I don't really know why I act like a drunk girl. Maybe the coffee did it?

"Well, are you free in some other nights?" He asks making me choke the drink.

"What?"

"I said, are you-"

"No. I heard it. But why?" I came back to my old self now. I don't get Harry. Before he was arrogant, now he's asking me on a date?

"Because... I'm bored so." He looks above. Actually, I'm free tomorrow. Heck I'm always free.

"Okay." I softly say and he claps his hand together.

"Okay. I'll text you." He winks.

"Wai-" he left without me continuing my sentence. How does he even know my number?

He left the cafe without a word and I was trapped in my spot still shock of what happened. My phone rings and I got it from my pocket. As I see the text message, everything around me crashes and it seems blurry. Tears start to roll down my eyes as I stare at the message endlessly without blinking.

Cameron: Trevor's in the hospital.

A/N

Okay. First of all, Cameron will be a little gone in the next few chapters but don't worry, he's still alive. Haha. This is so not detailed though because I'm watching TVD (I'm late again!). Vampires are all in my mind right now which is hot.
