Ch. 4
-Camey's POV-
We were in the car driving. Nick said he would drive first. Both of our bags were in the trunk of the car. It was a little pass midnight and I hadn't fallen asleep yet. The radio was on in the background. We hadn't talked to each other since he helped get my things out of my room. He just went there to make sure that Colby wouldn't show up and cause any more trouble. I was lucky that Colby hadn't showed up at all. I pulled my phone out and texted my brother.
Gone on 2 next city, c u there! -Camey Cam-
I hit send and put the phone back in my pocket. I looked over at Nick and a small smile appeared on my lips and a little blush creeping up on my face. I turned my head away quickly and stared out the window. I heard Nick chuckle and my head shot over to look at him. He was glancing at me with a smile on his lips.
"What is so funny?"
"Nothing really, just they way that you are staring at me and trying not to."
"I was not."
He turned his head to me and smiled again, "Was too." He said before he turned back to the road.
"Whatever, Nicky." I said putting my arms over my chest, staring out the front window.
"Can I ask you something Camey?"
"You know you can ask me anything Nicky. You are my best friend after all."
"I just don't want you to get all upset." He shook his head before he glanced at me out the corner of his eye. I just smiled at him and nodded my head, telling him to go ahead. "Have you talked to Colby since the hotel?"
"Yeah," I moved my arms to my lap. My eyes looked down at them sitting there. "I talked to him after what happened in the ring. Before I showed up at your locker room and you were trying to dance to Pitbull." I smiled and let out a small chuckle.
"What happened?"
"I called for a end to it all. Three and a half years down the drain." I put my hand on the window and placed my chin in my hand and leaned over on the window.
"I know how much it hurts you." He said putting a hand on my knee. "It will get better, I promise it will." He patted my knee a few times before he removed it again. "Why did you kiss me in the hall before you walked away? We wasn't on camera or anything."
"Oh, that." I looked over at him, examining his facial expressions. "I really don't know what came over me to do it. I just wanted to I guess."
"Can I tell you something?" He said as he pulled into the gas station. He parked the car and turned towards me, never losing eye contact with me. "I really did enjoy it, and I'm making it up."
"Nick," I sighed and looked down at my hands.
He slid over just a smudge and put his hand under my chin. He was so close that I could feel his breath on me. I leaned in just a little. I didn't turn or move. I stayed still the entire time. His lips were on mine and I leaned into him. I kissed him back. His hand that was on my chin was on the back of my head. My hand was in his bleach blonde hair tugging on it as the kiss deepened. This was different than any other kiss that we had. After a few moments we parted from each other. Nick's forehead was on mine and we both were smiling to each other.
"Nick," I whispered. "we shouldn't be doing this."
"I know," He sighed and closed his eyes. "but it felt damn good." He opened his eyes and stared at me. I stared back at him.
"Nick, you don't know what you are talking about." I tried to pull back from him but I didn't get that far. Nick smiled at me and I smiled back at him. This felt right, being here with my best friend felt right. "We need to get gas and go." I said making him move from his spot.
"This isn't over Cam." he said getting out of the car and paying at the pump. He looked back at me and smiled. I pulled my phone out and brought up a new text. I paused, I didn't have anyone to text. Colby wasn't talking to me and I had already told Jon that I was leaving. Take it I didn't tell him that I was leaving with Nick. Nick opened the door and climbed back in the car. He turned towards me and smirked. "Want me to finish where I left off?"
I looked up at him and smiled back at him. "Just drive, please."
"I don't want to. I want to look at you." He put his hand on my knee again, rubbing it lightly.
"Nick, please don't do this. You are with April," I sighed and closed my eyes. "I just got out this relationship with Colby. Which you know because you were there. You have been there for me through everything. I don't know what I would do without you. You are my best friend and I enjoy our friendship. I don't want to ruin what we have." I looked up at him and there was hurt in his eyes that I could say.
"We could be something Cam." He sighed and started the car. We left the parking lot and down the road. I sat back in my seat and put in my ear buds and pressed play. Ready or Not by Bridgit Mendler started playing in my ears. I closed my eyes and placed my head on the back of the seat and closed my eyes.
I was awaken by Nick shaking me. I groaned and opened my eyes. I pulled my ear buds out and looked at Nick. He smiled at me and shrugged. I yawned and I put my hand over my mouth.
"Is it my turn to drive yet?"
"Sure is sleepy head." He got out of the car as I did too. I walked over to the drivers side and realized that we were at another gas station. I put gas in the car, once I swiped my card I looked over at the passenger seat. Nick was leaned over the top of the car, staring at me. "Can you do you me a favor?" I asked leaning over the top of the car on my side. He pulled the sun glasses down his face.
"What would that be, babe."
"Go get me a coffee." I blinked my eyes at him. "Please."
He rolled his eyes, "Sure, what kind you want?"
"Regular with french vanilla."
"6 sugars too?"
"You know me."
He walked away lightly laughing at me. I finished up pumping the gas. I got in the car and waited. Nick can out with two cups in his hand. I took the one he handed me and took a big swig of it. I smiled to him.
"Are you staying up with me, Nicky."
"I am a better road buddy than you are, Camey."
"Well, I am sorry. I am use to riding with three guys who does nothing but listen to music in the car. This is different." I said motioning between the two of us.
"It sure is babe." He said taking a sip of his coffee.
"Nick, please, don't do that."
"Don't do what, Cam. Don't tell you that April broke up me over a text message saying that I should listen to you. She didn't regret what she did with Colby the other night. I wasn't in love with her or anything so it didn't bother me. I was going to be calling it quits soon anyways."
"Wait a minute, April broke up with you?"
"Yeah, while you were sleeping actually. It's kinda a relief anyways."
"Oh," I started the car and left the gas station. I was quiet for a few minutes before what Nick had said registered in my head. "She didn't regret ruining my life?" I asked glancing a somber looking Nick.
"That's what she said." He shrugged. "I asked her if she planned this the entire time, she said at first she didn't, but then it just happened."
"I'm going to get payback for this." I said lightly hoping that he hadn't heard me.
"For what? I personally am glad that she's gone. For you, Colby's cheated on you before."
"I know that. I guess I was too stupid to realize that he would do it again."
"You're not stupid, baby."
I put my foot on the brake. Did he just call me baby? "Save that for the cameras DOLPH."
"Stage name, I crossed the line with that one."
"Sure did." I looked down at my phone that was in my lap. There was 4 text messages. "Nick, do me a favor and see who those are from."
He reached over my lap and took my phone.
"One's from your brother, one from Randy, one from Cena, and the last one is from Colby."
"Read them in that order. I'll text them later."
"Ok, 'Drive safe, Nick does anything, I'll kick his ass.' What he doesn't know want hurt him." Nick added.
"Proceed," I said rolling my eyes.
"Randy's says, 'Details tomorrow at show,' nosy ass."
"Next," again I rolled my eyes.
"Cena wrote, 'Damn good beat down, what's happening at the show?' wouldn't you want to know."
"Can you please refrain from commenting?"
"Nope, that's why you love me." he smiled at me.
"Yeah, yeah. Read the last one."
"Are you sure you want to hear it?"
"I have to."
"If you are certain," he looked over at me and nodded his head. "It says, 'I'm sorry for fucking up. I miss you.' I bet you are."
"Nick," I sighed. "you were right, I didn't need to hear that." I hadn't realized that I had been crying until Nick wiped the tears away that had escaped. "Thanks," I whispered.
"There's no need to cry over spilled milk." He said rubbing my neck. "Listen, the next hotel, pull over. We can rest for a little. You are emotionally drained. At least let me get some rest, so I can drive the rest of the way. OK?"
"I can drive." I smiled lightly.
"Just pull over Hun " he put his arm over my shoulders and pulled my closer to him. He kissed my head. I nodded in return. "it's going to be OK. You have me, Randy, Cena, Kaitlyn, and your brother that will be there for you."
"It just hurts so much." I said with another set of tears falling.
I was crumbing. My life was in pieces and I didn't know how to fix things. I wanted the life that I had come to love back. I was now a jigsaw puzzle needing to be put back together. Did I want to be put back together was the question that I was asking myself as I pulled into the hotel. Nick got the only room available. It happened to be a single, but I honestly couldn't care less. I got in the room and laid on the bed.
"Nick, lay with me please?"
"I'm going to lay on the sofa, Camey." he said.
"No," I grabbed his wrist and pulled him down on the bed. "Stay here with me." I whispered slowly drifting off. I started crying again and pulled me closer to him. I fell asleep in my best friends arms.
-Nick's Pov-
I stayed there for the longest just staring at her. She was crying more and more in her sleep. I rubbed her hair with my hand that she wasn't laying on. She calmed down a little. She was adorable. How Colby could do something this bad to her was beyond me. I hated him for it. He broke the girls heart. Sometimes you forget who her brother is. I smiled to myself. April left me to be with Colby. That was fine, because I had been falling for my best friend for a while now and now here she was, laying in my arms asleep.
"I love you Camey." I whispered as I kissed her on the head before I let my own sleep over take me.
