AN: Okay I'm just going to mention, I feel that a part in this chapter is a little rated M. Not because of inappropriate scenes or anything like lemons. But like more of adult thing.. I don't know but if your of age then do read along and you'll understand. It's probably nothing but I felt it responsible to mention.
ON WITH THE STORY...
C:C:C:C:C:C:C:C:C:C:C:C:C:C
It was never busy in TJI Fridays on a Sunday night, that's why Cammie and Macey loved going there on that day a lot. But since there's been so much drama lately they hadn't a chance to go there like usual. A few other customers like themselves were dotted around the restaurant, especially a familiar old lady that was always there when Cammie and Macey were there. The usual waitress came over and took their orders, then left again.
"This is nice." Cammie smiled, "just like old times."
Macey smiled back. Was that smile forced?
Cammie frowned a little, Macey seemed so distracted today, something just wasn't right.
"Mace." Cammie spoke out.
"Mhm." Macey hummed, looking up at her.
"What's going on?" She asked.
"Nothing. What are you talking about?" She asked, playing innocent.
"Macey, you know I'm not an idiot. I know you, we've been friends since preschool. Tell me what's going on, because I know there's definitely something up." Cammie retorted.
Macey sighed. "I think I like Grant."
Z:Z:Z:Z:Z:Z:Z:Z:Z:Z:Z:Z:Z:Z:Z:Z:Z:Z:Z
Zach, Grant and Jonas were all sitting lazily around Grant's television set, bored out of their minds. The night was young, and they were home doing nothing and to top it off there was nothing on tv.
"So, Mr Whipped where's Cammie on this fine night?" Grant asked, in a faux posh tone.
"I am not whipped! And she's with Macey."
"Man, I'm sorry to say you are." Jonas replied.
"How am I?" Zach exclaimed.
"Well for starters, is there ever a time when your not with her? Excluding now of course." Jonas asked.
"Yeah! Um..." Zach started but then trailed off, unable to find an answer.
"My point exactly." Jonas smirked.
"So what? A guy hangs out with his girlfriend, I didn't think it was a crime."
"It's not. But a guy should find some time for his best friends too."
"I did. I'm with you now, aren't I?" Zach replied.
"Only because she's busy with Macey tonight." Jonas butted in.
"Fine, I'll make more time for you guys."
"Great!" Grant smiled, then jumped up from his seat, "Now come on." He said, heading for the door.
"Where are we going?" Zach asked, both him and Jonas still sat in their seats confused.
"We, my friends are going out to have a good time, while the nights still young." Grant announced, then flung open the door and ran out, Zach and Jonas trailing behind him.
C:C:C:C:C:C:C:C:C:C:C:C:C
"You like Grant?!" Cammie's eye widened, as she repeated what Macey had just told her.
"That's what I said isn't it?" Macey asked, taking a sip of her drink.
"Yeah, but. Since when?" Cammie asked, still surprised.
"Since his house party, when you and Zach made up and went off together half way through." Macey replied.
"How?" Cammie continued.
"I don't know, we just sort of clicked."
"Why was this such a problem that you couldn't tell me? Why were you so off?"
"I wasn't, I just- I know that he will definitely not like me back. And I just got out of a relationship, I can't just jump into another." Macey said.
Cammie frowned, "You have to tell him."
"I can't. I'd rather save myself from embarassment." Macey shook her head, and looked at the menu infront of her.
"You can. And you will." Cammie ordered.
"Like you told Zach?" Macey scoffed. "Leave him hanging thinking you rejected him, then get tormented by Bex. No thank you."
"That is totally different!" Cammie replied, her face twisting into anger.
"No it's not and you know it." Macey replied, looking at her again."
"Yes it is. Zach just came back from prision, and I apparently became a player over summer, trust me Macey. It's not at all the same. And you of all people I know should understand." Cammie argued. Then she stood up from the booth they were sat in, "you know what. Screw this. I'm done here." Cammie said, then turned and left.
Z:Z:Z:Z:Z:Z:Z:Z:Z:Z:Z:Z:Z
"A strip club. Really Grant?" Zach said in belief, as they stood outside of the strip club that sat on the edge of town.
"I told you it'd be a good time!" Grant exclaimed, then walked in.
"Cammie's not going to like this.." Zach sighed, as he followed Grant inside, Jonas behind him.
Loud music filled the club, people were everywhere, and by the content of this place that Grant has taken them to, I will not go into detail. The two boys followed Grant straight to the bar. "Grant, Cammie's really not going to like this." Zach said to his friend, running a hand worriedly through his silky hair.
"We don't have to tell her, and besides we just came for a drink." Grant replied, patting Zach on the shoulder. They each took a seat on a barstool, as the bartender approached towards where they were, drying a glass then placing it down. "What can I get you?" He asked.
"Three Vodkas." Zach replied. And the Bartender nodded.
Then Zach's phone began ringing and vibrating in his pocket, he took it out seeing Cammie's name flash across the screen. His eyes widened, shit!
"Hey Cam, what's up babe?"
He heard sobbing, "Zach I just had a huge fight with Macey, could you come over?"
"I'm just out with the boys, but I'll try and pull out okay?"
"Thank you, Zach. I love you."
"I love you too, baby."
He hung up. Phew! She didn't hear anything in the background, or well it seemed like she didn't. He turned to Grant, "I have to go, Cammie needs me."
"What! Zach we haven't even been out for an hour, we just got here. You said you were hanging out with us."
"I know." He replied, "But she's really upset, she had a huge fight with Macey and she needs me with her."
Grant rolled his eyes, "Fine. Go."
Then Zach felt someone behind him. He looked over his shoulder. There was a woman, around a few years older than himself, a smirk present on her face. "Hello there, handsome." She mutters flirtatiously.
"Oh boy." Zach mutters to himself, looking to Jonas for assisstance. "Jonas, help me." He mouths.
Jonas' eyes widen, and he stands up, and taps the woman on the shoulder, trying to turn her attention from Zach to himself. Successful.
Zach makes his way out of the club, and to Cammie's house.
C:C:C:C:C:C:C:C:C:C:C:C:C:C:C
Cammie lay curled up on her bed with her headphones in her ears, music on full blast. Her and Macey never fought and she never though that Macey would bring up things from the past either.
She felt someone lie down next to her, their hand wiping the tears from her face and draping an arm around her waist. They pulled one of her headphones out, whilst gently kissing the back of her neck. She turned to them. Zach gave her a peck on the lips, and hugged her to his chest. "I love you." He heard her whisper into his chest.
"I love you too." He replied. "Want to tell me what happened?"
She shook her head.
"Later?"
She nodded and he kissed the top of her head. "Get some rest." He muttered.
"Stay with me?"
"Of course."

"Grant stop running!" Jonas yelled after his best friend, who in fact was drunkenly running all over the streets whilst a sober Jonas was running after him, ensuring he doesn't get killed by getting hit by a car.
"Hurry up Jonas." Grant laughed over his shoulder at Jonas chasing him.
"Grant stop!" He yelled, and sped up as he saw Grant running towards a busy road full of speeding cars. "Grant! Please stop running!"
Grant just carried on laughing, then stopped as he reached the road. There was a car heading towards him, the horn beeping loudly, but he didn't move. He didn't see it. Jonas sped up towards Grant, but then. He was too late.
"Grant!" He yelled, and ran to Grant's limp body on the side of the road. "Shit! Grant!" Jonas' eyes flickered over Grant's body.
He took out his phone, then heard someone calling to him. It was the driver of the car.
"Call an ambulence!" Jonas calls back to him, and the driver does so, as Jonas dials the only person that at that moment came to mind.
"Jonas?"
"Macey! I need your help. It's urgent."
"Uh, sure Jonas what's wrong? Is everything okay?!"
"Um, no. Please meet me at Roseville hospital and I'll tell you everything there."
"Okay, see you there."
Then he hung up. By then the ambulence was here, and the paramedics were picking up Grant's body and laying him on the gurnee and loading it into the ambulence. "Sir, are you with this man?"
"Yeah, I'm his friend."
"Are you going to join him?" The paramedic asked Jonas.
"Uh, yes." He nodded, and stepping inside as they shut the doors.
"Jonas!" Macey exclaimed when she saw him quickly following the doctors as they pushed Grant on a bed towards a room. "Jonas! What happened?" Macey continued.
"Um..Grant got hit by a car." He muttered, then fell back into the chair beside him.
Macey's mouth fell open in shock, as tears began to sting at her eyes, "What? How?"
"He was drunk and he wouldn't-" Jonas cut himself off, then gulped and continued, "He wouldn't stop running, I tried to stop him but he wouldn't." His head fell into his hands.
"Have you told Cammie and Zach?"
"No, you were the first who I called."
"I'll call Zach." She said, and took out her cell.
M:M:M:M:M:M:M:M:M:M:M:M:M:M
"Macey, hey."
"Come to Roseville hospital."
"What? Why? What happened?"
"Grant got hit by a car. Jonas is here too. Are you with Cammie?"
"Oh my god. Shit, is he okay?"
"I'm not sure, the doctors just took him away a few minutes ago to be checked over."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
"Are you with Cammie?"
"Yeah, she's asleep."
"Bring her."
"I will, see you in a minute, Mace."
"Bye."
"Jonas everythings going to be okay. Grant's a strong guy. He will make it, no problem." Macey slung an arm over Jonas' shoulder hugging into his side, laying her head against his shoulder.
"Yeah." He muttered, "he is."
Her heart was broken, she didn't even get a chance to tell him how she felt. Instead she'd argued with Cammie over it, which was also a bad decision. She hated fights, and she never fought with Cammie, ever.
"Macey!" She heard Zach call, and looked up to see him and Cammie running up to them. "Is he still with the doctors?"
"Yeah, no news yet." She replied, quietly.
"Macey." Cammie said, stepping towards her, "I'm sorry."
"No Cammie, I am. I was a complete bitch, and there was no reason for it. I'm so sorry." She stepped forward to Cammie and hugged her. "I just hope that Grant will be okay, I want more than anything now to tell him how I feel." She whispered to Cammie.
Cammie smiled weakly, "you will don't worry. Grant's strong, he'll pull through."
I'M BACK. DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA.
AND I'M VERY SAD TO SAY THAT THIS IS, AS I'VE PLANNED IT, THE SECOND LAST CHAPTER.
BE PREPARED FOR A NICE ENDING (:
