Chapter Ten: The Jealousy Is Over

Cameron's eyes slowly began opening. The sunlight coming through the window caused him to squint. He closed his eyes once more, reflecting on what had happened the night before.

When recalling the incident, a chill ran up his spine and he began breathing heavily. As he began to sit up in the bed, he noticed his arm was wrapped up and bandages were all over his arms and one on his forehead. The room came into focus. It was Nikki's room and sitting the corner rocking chair, sleeping, was Nikki.

"Nikki?" he said softly. She didn't make a move.

"Cam?" Ava asked as she walked up the stairs, "Oh thank God, you are alright. The doctor is downstairs, I'll go tell him you woke up." The retreated from the room.

Nikki slowly began to wake up to find Cameron staring at her. Her eyes widened at the sight.

"OH CAMERON!" she yelled as she ran over to him and squeezing him.

"Ouch!" he yelled. Nikki looked down at Cameron's wrapped arm.

"Oh, I'm sorry," she said. "I'm so glad you're awake." She continued her hug.

She now figured out what the thing was that was hiding from her. And now was the time to set things right.

Cameron gazed at Nikki out the window later that day as she talked to Will on a bench under a palm tree on the beach.

"I figured now who I truly love," she paused for a moment, Will was burying his feet in the sand, "Cameron." Will lowered his head and sighed. "I'm sorry Will. I like you, I really do, but Cameron is where my heart truly belongs." She leaned forward and hugged him gently.

'There's no way he'll ever forgive me for this,' Nikki thought. Nikki began walking away from the lonely Will.

"Hey Nikki," Will said softly, "Maybe we can hang out sometime." Nikki turned; a smile on her face. She ran over to him and kissed him on the cheek.

"Definitely," she said, turning and walking away once more. She now left a Will that was happy.

Nikki came back to the house, where Bradin was lying on a lounge chair on the deck. She walked up to him and gave him a hug.

"What was that for?" Bradin said. A puzzled look on his face. Nikki didn't give him an answer.

She quickly ran up to her room where Cameron was still gazing out the window, not noticing her entering. She snuck up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist. He shuttered what they touched.

"That must have been hard," Cameron said. He turned around and looked into his new girlfriends' eyes.

"You have no idea," she said. She pulled his head down closer to her and kissed him. Cameron shocked by the forwardness. After a moment or so, they broke and stood there, holding each other in their arms. Nikki rested her head on his shoulder and looked up to the stairway. Ava's was sitting there watching them briefly. Once Nikki noticed, Ava smiled and left them.

Cameron's dad was released from the clinic a few months later. Cameron returned to his home to live with his 'new' dad, but still missed living with Ava, Bradin, Nikki, and Derrick. He and Nikki spent their days and nights together. Rarely were they seen apart.
