One and Only

Chapter 1

Esha pov

"I have a tumor in my brain," I said to my friends as they stared at me anxiously.

They immediately rush to my side and hug me tightly.

"I've had it for a while now actually," I mutter, taking a deep breath. I stare at my hands, why was my life always so screwed up.

Tears threaten to fall. My vision blurs a little. The doctor had spoke to me a while back. I took the news surprisingly well, I just didn't know how my sister would take this.

It's okay Esha we're going to figure this out and were going to make sure everything gets back to normal. Everything is going to be fine before graduation. You don't need to cry, stay strong. Stay strong for you and Maya.

"We're going to help you figure everything out Esha, you're going to be fine, we'll be there every step of the way," Ashton's deep voice cuts through my thoughts.

Everyone nods silently. They look at me as if I'm a fragile piece of glass balancing on a tip of a hill. Ready to fall and shatter in to million pieces in no time.

I look at Ashton and give him a small smile.

"I hope so," I say looking way.

I can see my friends Diana and Azim tearing up a little, the boys stare at the ground in anger. 

"Guys stop being so dramatic, I'm the one with the tumor in my head and I'm not even crying," I say while laughing.

The girls just pretend to glare at me but I know they're pretty upset. Life still goes on, this wasn't going to stop me.

Soon everyone falls into a comfortable silence and I get lost in my thoughts.

I know everything is going to be fine, the doctor will come in soon and I'm going to figure everything out. Don't worry Esha, everything is going to be fine.

I continue to think in silence until I realize that we have school today and my friends are still with me.

"Guys I'm just thankful you guys brought me to the hospital and helped me with everything-- "

Nathan and Noah immediately share a look.

"Whats with the look?"

I stare at Nathan and Noah expecting an answer, but the look away.

"You guys did that weird look-sharing-thingy, which means your hiding something from me."

I look at everyone expectantly. I can see Ashton glaring at Nathan and Noah.

Yup, they're hiding something from me.

"Umm, well we didn't exactly bring you to the hospital."

"Ohh, that's not a big deal, I was getting drinks at the party and there were lots of people there so someone close by must of helped."

"See that's the thing Esha it wasn't some random person who was just trying to help, it was someone who knew you well and scared shit less because you weren't okay," Noah started slowly.

"Guys I honestly don't see why you guys are making a big deal about someone helping me, there were a lot of people I know at the party, someone helped me and I'm fine now."

"Esha how do you know Cameron Devins?" Ashton suddenly asks, looking at me sharply.

I gulp inaudibly. 

How was Cameron Devins involved in any of this?

"Why?"

Ashton takes a sharp intake of air and states, "Because Esha, last night Cameron Devins was the one to help you, he was the one who called 911, he shut down the entire fucking party for you. Esha he was with you the entire fucking time, making sure you were okay. The funny thing is you've never spoken to him in the past three years of uni yet he acted as if you knew him and he fucking cared for you."

Ashton looks at me with mixed emotions, maybe hoping I would deny something.

"Where is he right now?"I ask.

Everyone looks at me confused.

"Esha did you hear me, the biggest asshole of our uni, the one who fought with me, Nathan and Noah. The piece of shit that gets away with everything because mommy and daddy are rich is--

"ENOUGH," I yell closing my eyes.

"Ashton did you hear me, Where is he right now?"

I look at Ashton expectantly, but he doesn't even look me in the eye.

"He's outside now, he wanted to come in, but we told him to go home. He refuses to leave without seeing you," Noah replies calmly.

"Noah can you call him in and you guys can make your way out," I reply.

"Esha we don't trust you with that guy and you don't even know him," Diana says calmly.

I don't bother answering Diana, I know Cameron Devins alright, "Can you guys please call him in and leave."

"Okay if that's what you want, we'll leave," Noah stated.

Everyone gave their final goodbyes and left, yet they all continued to wonder who Cameron Devins was to there long-time friend Esha.

Esha didn't know what to tell her friends. That Cameron was someone from her past that she buried long time ago. She didn't know if she betrayed her friends trust somehow. She didn't even know what to say to Cameron.

But the second after her friends left, the door clicked open and the one and only Cameron Devins walked through the door and just like that all the memories came crashing back.
