Chapt 10 Mending

Yasmin's POV

We were all put into the same jail cell. No one was given their phone call yet either. My nose was feeling okay. It's a bit tender, but the bleeding stopped, that's good. I looked around. Everyone was divided…

Cam was sitting silently in one corner with Dana, Cade, and Kobe, while the rest of us sat in the other. Sasha was sitting on the bench picking leaves out of her hair with Cruise helping her. Jade was yelling at Kobe and Cade for taking Cam's side. Iden sat silently running his hands through is hair in agitation. Cloe was sitting on the far right of the cell. Dylan was sitting on the floor, rapping to himself while Eitan was checking my nose while I sat back against the bench by Sasha.

"How does your nose feel, Yas?" He asked looking into it, gently taking hold of my face. "It's turning black and blue."

"I don't care about that, Eitan." I said, taking his hands down. I held onto them, keeping my eyes on the floor. "I want to know what's going on between us."

"What about us?"

"What Iden said about you and Julissa."

"There is nothing going on between me and Julissa. You know I wouldn't cheat on you."

"So that means that we aren't broken up."

"As of yet…no."

"What?"

"I don't want to talk about this right now, Yas. Seriously. It's been a really rough night."

I didn't respond. I didn't know what to say. I wanted to know what he meant by "as of yet". I want to address our issues, but it has been a long night. Things will get solved. I believe it.

"Can you breathe out of your nostrils?" He asked. I sniffed, and nodded.

"Does it hurt to breathe out of your nostrils?"

I shook my head.

"Okay. Does this hurt?" He asked, slightly taking my nose between his index and his thumb.

"No."

He gently moved his finger around it. "It doesn't feel broken. And it's a bit swollen, but no deformity." He said, still examining. "I think you'll be fine, Yas. When you get home, take some pain killers. If you still have pain and nosebleeds within the next three days, you should see a doctor."

I nodded.

"How do you know all of that Eitan?" Sasha asked. I kept my eyes down.

"Let's just say that this isn't Cam and I's first dispute."

I was beginning to get a headache.

"Eitan, I'm getting a headache."

"Could it have anything to do with your hair?"

"What about it?" I asked, touching my bun. It was still kinda wet, but not damp.

"Your hair may be tied too tight."

"Ohh." I said, dropping my hands.

"Well…are you going to take it out?"

"I don't want to." I almost whispered.

"Yas, I would want to know whether or not your having a headache because of your nose or your hair. It's important that we know now. Take your hair down."

I sighed, doing as he said and took it down. My semi-wet hair veiled over my face until I ran my fingers through it, pushing it back. He smiled, running his fingers through my curls.

"I knew you'd look beautiful no matter what." I could feel my cheeks flushing red.

"Eitan…spare us the romantics…okay?" Iden sneered. Eitan rolled his eyes, standing to go to the bars.

"So, what the hell are we going to do?" Sasha asked.

"I don't know. But my mom is going to be pissed that we're in here!" Jade said, standing my Kobe.

"I still think it's not ethical to keep someone here with a broken nose." Eitan said. "Hey! We've got a girl in here with a broken nose! She needs to see a doctor!" Eitan shouted to the empty office. Now I was "a girl".

It was quiet.

"Cam you know it was completely stupid to pick a fight. We still have a game tomorrow." Eitan said, turning his back to lean against the rail.

"Typical Eitan…concerned about looking good on the field…nothing else." Kobe snapped.

"Kobe, you have a problem with me, too?"

He didn't respond.

"I don't know where all of this anomosity is coming from." Eitan continued.

"It's just that you never consider other people's problems. You're always concerned with your own."

"Kinda hard for me to consider problems I knew nothing about." Eitan snapped, squinting.

"That's because you're so busy with Yasmin. Everything is about Yasmin."

Eitan's eyes met mine brieftly, going back to Kobe. I didn't say anything.

"No one told me anything. If I knew that people were having issues, I'd be right there helping them. I always have. I thought everything was fine between the two of them!"

"Well…they weren't. You would know that if you weren't spending all of your time with Yasmin." Cam said.

"Cam, I see you everyday at practice. We have class together also. You have all that time to tell me what's going on in your relationship."

"He's got a point, Cam." Dylan said.

"I find it hard to believe that Cade knows all this before me. He doesn't even live here anymore…so I think it's deeper than me spending my time with Yasmin." Eitan said, coming back to sit beside me.

"So…maybe I am a bit jealous of how you and Yasmin are. Cloe and I used to be the same way."

"But then you fell off the wagon and began acting strange!" Cloe exclaimed.

"Cloe, you know it wasn't just me."

"What have I done except be a good girlfriend to you, Cameron?"

"You stood by and let your family criticize me about the way I treat you."

"Can you blame them?"

"Before these incidents, we were just fine, Cloe. We were perfect…but your parents never liked me."

"Yeah, and I broke up with you to make you see that you were wrong. We were working to get back to where we were, and now you're screwing one of your bestfriends' girlfriend."

"Cloe, you don't understand." Dana said.

"I don't believe I was talking to you, Dana."

"Well, I want to hear her." Iden said. "I mean…I don't recall you and I having any issues."

"Iden…you're just never around."

"What? I am around! And when I am around, your nose is always in the fucking books, so don't go there!"

Dana didn't respond.

"You know that I'm not into that shit, but I still stick around. I accept you, Dana."

"No you don't."

"Just because I'm not a comic book nerd like you and Cam, doesn't mean that I don't accept you."

"Don't start with me, Iden." Cam said.

"You have no room to talk, Cameron. Just shut up." Cloe said.

"You shut up, Cloe!" He responded.

"No no no! Cam you have no say in anything! You are the one that is wrong! They have a right to be upset with you." I said.

"Yasmin, this is none of your business."

"Watch what you say, Cam." Eitan said, coming to my defense.

"And if I don't?"

"Cam, you should really shut up because before you know it, you won't have a friend in this world. You caused the most trouble. You betrayed too many people. You even started a fight with your best friend tonight. Just chill out." Dylan snapped.

"Damn, Dyl." All of the guys said..

"Everyone is so mad at eachother. Obviously there is some miscommunication between everyone."

"Dylan sounds so educated." Cade said.

"Chyeah, using words like miscommunication." Kobe added. Everyone laughed.

"See this is what I want. I want everyone to get along…even if everyone has to pick on me to do it…like always." Dylan sneered.

"We love you, Dyl." I said, shivering. I didn't even notice how cold it was in here.

"I love you too, Yas." He smiled back. "You see? Yasmin is the nicest one here!"

"That's because she doesn't have any relationship issues like these guys here." Sasha said, pointing to everyone. Little did she know, I did have relationship issues…well, now I do.

"That's right. Eitan is the only one that stays loyal to his girlfriend…and they haven't even known eachother long." Cloe snapped.

Eitan's hand went to mine. I looked down at our hands entwined, then up at his grey eyes and smiled faintly. I could tell that he was torn about something…I'm not sure about what, but one thing I do know for sure is that Eitan does love me.

"You're cold?" He asked.

I nodded and brought my body closer to his, leaning into his chest. He let his cheek rest on top of my head, wrapping his arms around me. I felt better already. Eitan was always warm.

"Hey! What about me?" Kobe asked.

"Yeah, and me?" Iden joined.

"You guys know what I mean." Cloe said, touching her fingertip to her scratched nose.

"Yeah…everyone is tensed up because of the cheaters in the room." Iden said under his breath.

"Iden…I want to talk…"

"There is no talking, Dana. We're over." Everyone turned their attention to Iden.

"What?" She asked, bewildered.

"I would never cheat on you. I thought you'd feel the same way…but obviously I was wrong."

I turned my attention to Cam. I still don't understand why he actually went through with sleeping with Dana. It doesn't make any sense.

"Well, to Cam's defense, he wasn't technically with Cloe when he slept with Dana." Cade said.

"Cade, are you taking Cam's side?" Iden asked, looking over his shoulder.

"I'm just saying—"

"No, you're trying to justify Cameron sleeping with my girlfriend. There is no justification. Yeah, he wasn't with Cloe at the time, but they were on their way to gettting back together…I was his friend, and he betrayed my trust." Iden said, soundly.

"But—"

"No buts. There is no side that I can take. They were equally wrong."

I had to agree with him. I didn't know what to think. I always loved Cameron for Cloe. Before all of this, they were the "it" couple…since Eitan came, they've been a complete and total mess.

"Attention to all of you." The officer said, walking up. "We have called all of your parents. Cloe Brent, your parents are out front. You're free to go." He said, opening the gate.

Cloe stood and came over to Sasha and I. Jade came over to join us. She hugged Jade and Sasha together, and came over to me last.

"Yasmin, thank you for helping me, and I'm sorry about your nose."

"It's okay, Cloe."

"I want you to call me when you get home, okay?"

"I will definitely call you. We all have to meet up sometime tomorrow anyway."

"Yasmin's right, Cloe. Remember we have a shopping date." Jade winked.

"You hang in there, girl." Sasha said, taking her hand.

"I will. I'll see you guys." She said, walking out. "Yasmin, don't forget to call me." She called.

Everyone was begininning to leave like flies. It was Me, Eitan, Cam, Dana and Iden left.

"Yasmin Clemente?" The man called. "Your mother is here to get you." He said opening the gate. I know that mom is going to be pissed. She was all in fairyland with her clients talking about moving. With any luck this wont influence her thoughts of moving.

I stood and so did Eitan. I turned to face him and took his hands in mine.

"I feel bad for leaving."

"Don't. I'll be fine, babe."

I nodded.

"I'll call to check on you when I get home, if you aren't sleep."

"I won't fall asleep until I hear your voice." I told him, honestly. He chuckled.

"Look who's being romantic." He smiled. His smile made everything much easier. I hated leaving him here…with all of the drama.

"Come on, young lady! I haven't got all night!" He exclaimed.

I pushed myself up on my toes and kissed Eitan goodnight.

"Bye everyone." I said, leaving. I didn't mean to say it to Dana, but I didn't think on it enough to actually make that clear.

I held onto Eitan's hand until I was outisde the gate. I gave him one last kiss before the guard closed it between us again.

"YASMIN ROSAURA CLEMENTE! GET OVER HERE NOW!" My mom called. I hung my head low as I left everyone.

I was in for it.

So, I got off with no shopping for a week. Eitan didn't call me either. With everything that happened last night, I am truthfully a bit shocked by that. Today was the party, and my nose is actually looking better than I thought it would. Double negative…but there was a positive in there. I woke up feeling tired. It was 7-o-clock in the morning. Eitan's game is today, and my mom isn't letting me travel out to Ewing, but I want to see him off at least. I got up and got clean, throwing on a black fitted t-shirt with a white cami to go underneath, and flared jeans with my favorite black, red bottomed pumps. I packed up my navy blue hobo, and left my hair down to air dry, silently stepping out of my room. I snuck down the stairs, out of the house, and to my car.

I drove to Cloe's, spotting Jade and Sasha in their cars. Cloe had yet to sneak out. I picked my CHANEL shades out of it's holder and covered my eyes, when I saw Cloe's sepia influenced blonde hair moving down her driveway. I unlocked my door, letting her in.

"Hey Yasmin." She said, settling in her seat.

"Mom took your car, huh?" I asked as she closed her door.

"You think she'd be a bit more sensitive about everything that happened." She said, facing me.

"Wait, she knows?"

"Not everything. I told her that Dana tried to sleep with Cameron. I know she'd never approve of him if she knew the truth." She responded, doing her seatbelt.

"So you're saying that you're not letting Cam go?" I asked.

She fell silent, pausing. She didn't respond. Cloe turned to face forward, sighing and sinking into her seat.

"Cloe, you're my bestfriend."

"I know. And you want the best for me, but I love Cameron. We've been through so much together."

"So are you going to talk things through with him?"

"I might. I plan on sleeping with him tonight."

"What?

"Yep. Nothing is better than make-up sex, and getting back together."

"You may be right, I wouldn't know. But does he deserve it?"

"That's a good question."

"That shouldn't be difficult to answer." I implied.

"Yasmin, you're turning into this outspoken judge! What's with you? It's Eitan isn't it?"

I sighed, looking out the window at Sasha and Jade. I nodded, driving on.

"Eitan is bringing out a whole new side to you. I'm liking it." She smiled.

"Thanks…um Cloe?"

"Yeah." She said, her eyes glued to her phone screen as she typed on the keyboard.

"There's something I've been meaning to tell you guys."

"What is it?" She asked, not taking her eyes off it.

"Well, I had Eitan over last night and…" I stopped myself, staring straight. I could feel her eyes on me.

"And what? You didn't sleep wit him, did you? OMG! You slept with Eitan! AWW HOW CUTE! Wait—did you use protection? Did it hurt?—"

"Cloe! I didn't sleep with him."

"Have you thought about it?"

"Of course I have. But that's not what I want to talk about." I said, turning into the school parking lot. I spotted Eitan with his team, in his uniform.

"Well, what is it?"

I wonder what he's thinking…how he's feeling.

"Yas! WATCH OUT!" She exclaimed. I jammed my foot on the breaks, stopping to let a family pass.

"I'm so sorry!" I called out to them, rolling down my window. I stuck my head back in. "You okay, Cloe?"

"Yeah! What were you going? You never do this."

"I was distracted." I said, my eyes falling on Eitan again.

"Eitan." She giggled.

I sighed. I should tell her about the move.

"There's Cameron." I told her. She gasped.

"What am I going to do?"

"Talk to him. Like you said you were going to do." I sneered, pulling into a parking space.

"Don't say it like that."

"Cloe, I love you. I will support everything you do. I may not agree, but I will always support you."

"Thanks, Yas. I know you mean that. I can handle it. I know what I'm doing."

I nodded.

"Now let's go get our men." She said, opening her door. Sasha pulled up next to me, and Jade next to her.

"Hey, Yas. How are you feeling?" Sasha asked.

"Pretty good."

"You covered up your bruise really good. I can barely see it."

"I didn't do anything to it." I smiled.

"So it isn't broken."

"Nah. I'm good."

Sasha put her arm around me and pulled me close. I did the same to Cloe. It was just Jade we needed.

"So, Cloe! What's the plan, girl?" Jade called from her car. Cloe waved us over.

I kept my eyes on Eitan as she made her way over to us. She began walking and eventually caught up to us. I wasn't paying attention. All I know is that we were walking now, and that Eitan looks good, but he's intent…focused on something. Presumably about his game.

"Well, I told you guys that I want to sleep with Cameron." I heard Cloe say, breaking my train of thought.

"Yeah…and about this party…is that where it'll happen?"

"Possibly afterwards. So I'm going to go talk to him, now."

"Okay girl. Make sure you hold your own!" Sasha said.

"Oh, I will Sash! Wish me luck!" She said, leaving us.

"Okay, good luck girl." We called.

End of Yasmin's POV

Cloe's POV

I know that I have the girls' support. I know it looks incredibly stupid for me to come to him, but Cam is my heart. Even though he takes no heed in protecting mine, he still has it.

I walked up to Eitan, stretching

"Hey Eitan."

"Hey, Cloe. What's up?"

"Nothing. You're stretching before you get there?"

"Yeah, helps with the anxiety. What are you here for? Yasmin okay?" He asked, still stretching.

"Yasmin is fine. I actually wanted to talk to Cameron."

"Cam? Why?"

"Because I still love him, despite everything. I want you to forgive him, also." He stood.

"I don't know, Cloe." He breathed. He did smell good.

"Eitan, Cameron loves you. You're his closest friend. It's a shame, but you do hurt the ones that are closest to your heart."

He shook his head

"He slept around on me…twice. I can't shake him. It's unfortunate, but it's the way love goes."

"Yeah but—"

I lifted my eyebrows, meeting his eyes. He simpered, trying to hold back his smile.

"Okay, I see your point." He nodded. "Thanks Cloe." He said, with a friendly hug.

"No problem. Now where is your stinky friend?"

"He's on the other side of the bus, talking to coach."

"Okay. You know Yasmin is here."

"Yeah, I saw her car."

"Well go talk to your girlfriend, stud!" I said, tapping his arm, turning to go to Cam. I walked around the bus, pretty nervous, but I have to maintain my cool.

"Matthews, I don't want to hear any excuses! What happened last night was unacceptable! I should sit you out for the game! I can't afford to risk losing! You're one of my most favored players, but how can I trust that you'll deliver today?"

Cam didn't answer. I stayed behind the bus, eavesdropping. I have to stop doing this.

"Are you going to respond to me. Matthews?"

"I want to play today coach."

"You really think I should let you?"

"Yes. I'm fine. I'm not drunk, I'm just a bit tired. But I can pull through."

"So you and Morales…"

Cam didn't respond.

"I'll make you a deal, Matthews. If you and Morales settle your differences, I'll let you play."

"But coach—"

"But coach nothing, Matthews. I had my say. Now I suggest you go over to your friend and even things out…if not…you're benched. End of story." He said, walking away.

Cam ran his fingers through his hair, then turning to the bus, striking it once. Checking his knuckles, his eyes lifted and fell on me.

"Cloe…"

"Hey, Cam." I said, stepping from behind the bus. "Are you okay?"

"Not really…what are you doing here?"

"I came here to talk to you."
