Chapter 4 - I want you to be with Gabriella
I walked back to my nan's house and I sat on the couch. My nan walked over to me and sat next to me. I looked at her and smiled. My nan looked at me and asked ''what are you so happy about''.
I smiled and walked upstairs and looked at the photos of Nikki. My nan walked upstairs and sat down next to me and said ''there is a young lady here to see you''. Gabriella walked through the door and she smiled.
My nan looked at me and she told me ''I leave you alone''. My nan stood up and Gabriella looked at my nan and she said ''thank you, Mrs Bale''. My nan left the room and Gabriella sat down next to me and told me ''your nan seems nice''.
I smiled and looked at a picture of my nan and me when I was little and said ''yeah, she is nice''. Gabriella smiled and looked at the photos of my mom, dad and me and asked ''are these your parents''.
Gabriella smiled and edged closer to me and said ''I am sorry Cam, I didn't mean to upset you''. I looked down at the floor and I put my hand on my face and I told her ''no, it's ok, well my mom left my dad for her yoga teacher and then he started drinking and um.. It doesn't matter''.
Gabriella looked at me concerned, I couldn't tell her what my dad did to me. It was too painful then but at least he is in rehab hopefully getting better.
Gabriella left the house and I walked to the hospital and I walked into the nurse section and said ''Hi I am Cameron Bale, I am Nikki Westerly's boyfriend''. The nurse looked at me and told me ''well nice to meet you, she talked a lot about you''.
I looked at Nikki in her bed looking at all of the photos and I said ''Nikki told me that she wants to leave her, she wants to be at home if she dies''. The nurse told me to sit down and I did.
She sat down next to me and said ''well we will talk to Nikki and her aunt. You seem like a good boyfriend to accept her wishes''. I smiled and walked into Nikki's ward and kissed her on the forehead and told her ''I told the nurse that you want to go home and she said that she will speak to you and Ava soon''.
Nikki smiled and holded my hand and said ''thank you''. I kissed Nikki and hugged her and Gabriella walked in and told us ''sorry to ruin the moment guys''. I smiled and let go of Nikki and Gabriella hugged Nikki.
I kissed Nikki and told her ''I will see you later, how fun ladies''. I walked out the room and looked at Nikki and Gabriella; at least she has one more friend in this world.
I walked to two brothers and saw Amber sitting down a smoothie with some guy; it looked like she was on a date. Amber ran over to me and hugged me and asked ''are you and Nikki getting back together?''.
I smiled and sat down and said ''yeah, we are. You should see her''. Amber smiled and the boy she was on a date with walked over and Amber said ''I have to get back, I am on a date. I will talk to you later''.
Amber smiled and walked off. I walked back home and saw Bradin waiting for me and he said ''Nikki is coming home. Thank you so much, Cameron''. I smiled and walked into my house and Bradin followed and I told him ''it's ok, it is what she wanted, it's hard isn't''.
Bradin sat down on the chair and looked at the photo of Nikki and said ''yeah, the cancer has got the better of her''. I sat down next to him and looked at the photos of Nikki and asked ''so how did Nikki hid the cancer from me?''.
Bradin looked at me and told me ''on the days she was really ill, she didn't come out and then she went round yours, she wanted to be ok and when she was with you, she was just Nikki, she was your Nikki. When she was with us, she was Nikki with cancer. You didn't treat her any different and she liked that''.
I smiled and looked at the photo and I started to cry and asked ''she is going to beat this isn't she''. Bradin hugged me and he started to cry and he told me ''I don't know Cam, but I really wish she does. I couldn't bear to lose one more person I love. She loves you so much''.
The next day I walked to Nikki's house and knocked on the door and Ava answered it and she told me ''Nikki is upstairs, you can go and see her''. I ran upstairs and saw Nikki sitting on her bed and she told me ''I want you to be with Gabriella, she is right for you''.
I looked at her and sat down next to her and said ''no, Nikki, she is not right for me''. Nikki looked away and gave me a photo of her and me and she told me ''I am not and I want you to be happy and besides you have more in common''.
I looked at her confused and asked ''like what?''. Nikki looked at me and looked at the floor and she told me ''you both have crap fathers''. Nikki turned her head and she said ''I think we should break up, we were always better as friends''.
Nikki leaned in and kissed me and we both laid down and Nikki said ''we should stop, see you later Cameron''. I stood up and kissed her on the forehead and left the house. Typical Cameron and Nikki, we always have a non-normal break up.
