Chapter 35

                                    

                                          
Nash's Pov.
                          
I went to my room and fell asleep smiling.
                          
I woke up to my phone buzzing. It was a message from Catherine.

C: Hey Nash. Meet me at the beach in the secret cave where Cameron had a photoshoot at 12:00 p.m.
                          
C: And don't tell anyone where you are going. Lie about it. Someone will ask.
                          
N: Okay.
                          
I forced myself to wake up and take a shower. I got ready and it was 11:00 a.m. by the time I was done. I ate breakfast with everyone since Camerom fixed breakfast.
                          
Nash: Hey Cam, can I borrow your car?
                          
Cameron: Why? Don't you have one you can use?
                          
Nash: The one I have is in North Carolina with my mom. I shared Catherine's car which Catherine has.
                          
Cameron: Oh yeah.
                          
I laughed a little remembering the story behind "oh yeahs" and Cameron just stared at me. He handed me the keys.
                          
Cameron: Shut up, Nash.
                          
That made me and everyone else laugh. Cam just rolled his eyes and laughed a little himself.
                          
Nash: You aren't even blonde and you have blonde moments!
                          
I said mocking Cam. Catherine had said something like that to Cameron so why not say it to him now?
                          
Cameron: Just go. And be careful.
                          
Taylor: Wait, where are you going?
                          
Nash: Just to um, get some earbuds. The ones I have broke. Anyone else need some new ones? 
                          
They all just sat there looking at each other.
                          
Nash: I will take that as a no. I will see you guys later.
                          
I went out of the house and to Cameron's car. I got in, pulled out of the driveway, and I went to the beach. I looked at the clock on my phone. 11:30 a.m. I got some time. And now I will have to get a new pair of earbuds. There goes more money. I pulled into the beach parking lot and saw Catherine's car. I parked by it and got out. I took my pants off and my shoes and socks off. I had regular clothes on over my shorts and t-shirt that I wear to the beach. I put the clothes in the car, locked the car, and headed towards the cave. I got there and saw someone in a beanie and a black shirt and shorts. No shoes either. The girl looked amazing. Wait a minute. That's Catherine! Not saying that is bad, but she usually never wears black and I didn't know she had a beanie.
                          
Nash: Catherine?
                          
The girl looked at me. Yep. It's Catherine. She looked so different. That is probably what she wanted. I sat down beside her on the rock floor of the cave.
                          
Nash: Why here exactly?
                          
Catherine: This place is hidden. And that's how I want to stay. Hidden. Atleast until I figure things out. I'm sorry, Nash. I couldn't face, Cam after her saw the basement. I would get a whole lecture and probably yelled at.
                          
Nash: It's okay. I thought you were getting help? You said you were.
                          
Catherine: I am. That was from awhile ago. I haven't gone in that basement in a week. I didn't feel like cleaning uo the blood. Looking at it makes me realize I need to stop. Everyone at the house probably thinks I'm mentally ill or something.
                          
Nash: No. Everyone wants you to come home and talk about this.
                          
Catherine: I don't want to talk about this. I just need time. I need to be alone and face the real world. I have a job and a place to stay. I have everything I need until I'm ready to come home.
                          
We sat there in silence for awhile. This just isn't like the Catherine I fell in love with.
                          
Nash: Were you really emo before all this famous stuff? Cameron said you were.
                          
Catherine: Yeah. I was. That's the reason I'm wearing all this. No one recognizes me. The famous me. It is like a disguise that I can wear and not just on Halloween.
                          
Nash: You actually look good in a beanie and dark clothes.
                          
She smiled at me then looked at the ocean and fittled with her fingers.
                          
Catherine: Yeah. I actually met Tyler while I was emo. He was the one who turned me around. Then the famous thing happened.
                          
I don't what it was, but that hurt me. Am I not good enough for her? Will she go back to being emo because I'm here? I guess she could see that I was hurt.
                          
Catherine: Nash, don't think I'm turning back because I don't have Tyler and I have you. This is just a disguise so no one recognizes me.
                          
Nash: Okay. I just wish you would come home.
                          
Catherine: I know. But I just can't yet. Not until I'm ready to face everyone.
                          
Nash: Yeah, all of the guys know about this.
                          
Catherine: Are you serious?
                          
Nash: Yes I am.
                          
Catherine: Oh great. Now I have to face everyone at home and everyone else.
                          
Nash: Yeah. Gilinsky thinks you gave up on Cameron.
                          
Catherine: Well you can tell Gilinsky I didn't and that I need some time to myself to sort things out in my mind.
                          
I looked at the time. How is it 1:00 p.m. already? I just got here.
                          
Nash: Well, it's 1 p.m. so I better get back and buy earbuds.
                          
Catherine: Why?
                          
Nash: I said that I was going to buy a new pair of earbuds because my other pair broke.
                          
Catherine: Haha okay.
                          
We smiled at each.
                          
Nash: Well bye babe.
                          
Catherine: Bye Nash.
                          
I walked away from here.
                          
Catherine: Nash?
                          
Nash: Yeah?
                          
I turned back around and she walked towards me and kissed me. I kissed her. I missed kissing her. It just doesn't feel complete without her.
                          
Catherine: I love you.
                          
Nash: I love you too, baby.
                          
I hugged her and held her hand as we walked back to our cars.  I put my clothes back on and I went out first, then she went out. I went to the nearest phone store and bought a pair of earbuds then went home. I locked the car and went inside.
                          
Nash: Here are your keys Cameron.
                          
Cameron: Dude, what took you so long?
                          
I showed him the pair of earbuds I had. They had designs all over them.
                          
Cameron: Oh you needed pretty ones.
                          
Nash: Yes I did. I have to look stylish while listening to music.
                          
I said that so sarcastically. Cam laughed and rolled his eyes. I suddenly felt this weird feeling in my stomach. I went to my room and shut the door and layed on my bed. All I could think about was Catherine. I thought about doing things with her. I couldn't stop thinking about it. And if you haven't caught on, I keep thinking about dping the nashty with her. I looked down and found a buldge in my pants. Oh no. There is only one way to cure this.
                          
By going to sleep. I need a nap anyways.
