Chapter Twenty Six
Final Decisons
James's POV
Silence. That's all that filled the room as Kameryn finished telling us what happened to her. A pin could drop right now and it would be so loud that it would be deafening. We all sat around Kameryn's bed, looking at her in pity and guilt. A single tear streamed down her bruised face, and Logan, who was sitting next to her, wiped it away. I protectively wrap my arm around Amanda, and pull her closer to me. She leans against me, and I can feel her hand resting against my thigh, but she doesn't move. Not a twitch of the hand. Nothing. Kendall has his arms wrapped around Elena's neck as she sits between his legs against a wall. Carlos has his hand linked into Erika's, and visible Erika is shaking.
"Kameryn." Elena breathes out. "Oh dear Kameryn, I'm so sorry." Elena gets up from the floor and nearly collapses into Kameryn, pulling her into a tight hug. Amanda slowly removes me arm from me and hugs Kameryn too. Soon, Erika joins the hug and the four friends are squished together, looking like they never want to let go of each other.
"So Janessa was actually good?" Erika asks as the three take their seats again. "I can't believe it."
"Janessa shoved you off the building though." Amanda points out. "It doesn't make any sense."
"Rage can turn a seeing man blind." Kendall says. Elena looks up at him. "When did you get so smart?" She asks. This gets a laugh out of all of us.
"I've always been smart, I just act stupid so you pity me." Kendall teases. Elena smiles slightly and the two kiss gently on the lips. "Well it worked." Elena says, patting Kendall's cheek before turning back towards Kameryn.
"Look, I survived." Kameryn says. "It's all over. Ciri and Astoria are in jail and Janessa is returning home to her family somewhere."
"What happens to us now?" Amanda asks. She looks around the room at all of us before he eyes settle on me. "What happens now? I mean, our mission is over. We succeed and it's over."
"Come out to L.A." I say. Everybody looks at me, and Kendall, Carlos, and Logan give me an approving nod. "You all have some type of career out in there. You can stay at the Palm Woods and we all continue to date."
"What about our spy careers?" Erika asks. "All of us are active field agents."
"Retire." Carlos says. The girls give him a questioning look, and I understand. Being spies is all they knew. They grew up being spies, and they probably think they are supposed to die one.
"Carlos is right." Logan says, coming to his rescue. "You retired once Kameryn. Why can't you all do it again for a final time?"
"Spying is all we know." Elena says. "How can we just leave it behind?"
"You four have saved the world enough." Kendall says as he snakes his arms around Elena's waist, pulling her back towards his body. "I think its time you girls finally get to be normal teenagers."
"We don't know how to do that." Amanda says.
"Then we can teach you." I answer as I put my arm around Amanda. "You taught us four what love is, and I think we should return the favor."
"I don't know." Kameryn says. "Being spies is what we grew up learning. Spies are our family. How can we turn our back on our families?"
"What about the families you could have with us?" Carlos asks, his eyes pleading with the girls, but mostly Erika.
"I'm ready to retire." Elena declares. "If the spy world ever really needs us, we will be there to help. I know they're never going to find four girls like us again, but there are other spies who are there to save the day too. We can't carry the weight of the world on our shoulders forever."
"I kind of like the movie I'm filming." Amanda says, resting her head against my shoulder. "And I can't just drop out of it in the middle of family."
"My T.V. show is fun too." Erika adds. "People treat me like I'm just like them."
"And we could record a duet together." Kameryn says, looking up at Logan. He smiles and he kisses her gently on the forehead.
"So you're going to stay with us at the Palm Woods?" I ask. Elena, Amanda, Erika, and Kameryn all nod their heads, and Kendall, Carlos, Logan, and I burst into cheers. Kendall pulls Elena into a kiss. Erika and Carlos hug and he kisses her on the head. I stand up and pick Amanda up, spinning her in circles before we kiss, her feet still dangling mid-air. Logan tilts Kameryn's face up towards his and gently kisses her on the lips.
There are no more secrets between any of us. We all knew everything we needed to know about each other, and could finally live our lives in peace.
I know, a corny ending for the chapter. But there is only four more chapters left! The next chapter (27) will be all about Elena and Kendall, James and Amanda. The after that (Chapter 28), will be all about Erika and Carlos, Kameryn and Logan. Both chapters will be the boys teaching the girls about being normal, and I promise plenty of drama! I'm not sure about Chapter Twenty Nine, but Chapter Thirty will be the epilogue, and will conclude the series as a whole. In other news, I'm probably going to do another OC story, but not an action packed filled one like this one. More details on that to come later.
