Forever

Chapter 22

*7 months later; senior graduation day*

Sophia's POV

I wake up to an alarm beeping rapidly. I quickly struggle to get out of bed, and turn off the alarm.

So today is the big day, graduation. I've always imagined this day with Nash, but now I can't even think about him, or I will loose it, but not a day goes by that I don't think about the blued eyed boy that stole my heart, and took it with him to heaven.

I miss him so much it's unreal. You never realize how much you actually need someone until their gone. Id do anything to have one more day with Nash. Have one more hug, one more kiss, and one more 'I love you'.

I've pretty much lost all contact with Cam, Matt, and the rest of the guys. I also haven't talked to Meagan. She moved in with Cameron when they went back to California, she decided it would be best if she moved there and not stay in North Carolina. Joanna and Matt broke up about 3 months after Nash's death, and I haven't spoken to her since.

I guess you can say I'm a pretty anti-social person now. I have a few friends in school, but not that many, and none as close as my old friends. Really I just stay at home all day with Myles, who by the way is doing great, my mom on the other hand, well she's not doing so good.

About 2 months ago my mom got diagnosed with breast cancer, and we don't know if she will make it. I don't know what I would do without my mom. I would have to take care of Myles all by myself, and I wouldn't be able to go to college. I love my mom so much, and I would be torn apart if she ever left me.

I went in my closet, and pulled out my cream lace dress that Nash got me for my birthday in October.

I put that on then loosely curled my hair and braided to pieces and pulled it back. I did light makeup, and threw on my black wedges.

I wish more than anything that my mom could attend my graduation, but she has been in the hospital for the past 2 months.

I drive Myles and I to the school for the graduation.

When we arrived to the school Myles and I proceeded outside to wear the ceremony was being held.

As soon as we were waking to the bleachers I saw a familiar brown headed boy with girls crowding around him. He looked at my direction and our eyes locked. The only thing I could do was run.

"SOPHIA, SOPHIA STOP"

He caught up to me and grabbed my arm. I hesitated to turn around.
"Cameron I-" he cut me off, "save it I don't want to here some made up excuse as to why you haven't fucking talked to me, or any of use in the past 7 months" he spat in my face harshly.

"I have reasons as to why I didn't feel like taking to any of you". "And what are those reasons" Cameron said letting go of my arm.

"Well has it ever occurred to you that maybe it was to hard for me to talk to you after my boyfriend died and also after finding out that my mom has breast cancer, and probably won't even make it". I said tearing up.

"Well you c- wait what? Your mom- I -I I'm so sorry Sophia" Cam said pulling me into a bone crushing hug. "I don't want your pity" I said harshly pulling away.

" Sophia I came to talk to you about Nash". I started to tear up. "W- what about Nash". "Sophia I don't know how to say this, but um Nash is alive."

My head started to spin and everything became blurry. "What do you mean Nash is alive" I said in disbelief.

"About 1 week ago I was outside my apartment when I heard a bunch of 'oh my god is that Nash Grier' and 'no it can't be, I thought he was dead', so I decided to go look, and sure enough it was Nash. I started to call his name, and when he saw me he took off, but I know where he is" Cameron stated.

" I wanted to tell you in person, and I told you I would be there for your senior graduation" he said while smirking.

" I don't believe you, your lying. H-how, why would he this to me. Was he not happy? Did not care about what this would do to people?" I choked out with tears in my eyes.

"Sophia I want you to come to California with me to see Nash. We will bring him home together" Cameron said with a small smile.

"How could you expect me to drop everything, and fly to California to go drag my 'dead' boyfriend back to a place he obviously wasn't happy living in".

"I know he wouldn't do that to you there is obviously a reason why he faked his death, I know it because trust me he loved his life so much, and more importantly he loved you, he would never just fake his death. There was obviously a reason behind all this. Don't you want to be able to find out why he faked his death?".

Of course i did, but how could I? What would I say to him? I don't know if he would even want to see me.

"Well once your done debating with yourself let me know" Cam said as he turned on his heels and walked away, but I stopped him. "Yes, yes I will go to California with you".
