Elements - cash fan fiction -

Wonder

As soon as we made the decision to offically leave Magcon, my father started calling contacts in California and began to set up meetings for us in Los Angeles. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that this is the path my life would take. We return back to my house and decide to play together on the Xbox. We're quiet, not necesarily concentrating on the game, but thinking about the meeting we just had and how different our lives will be once we announce that we won't be returning to Magcon. Magcon New Jersey will be our last and we still have to find a way to break the news to the rest of the boys. I'm very nervous about that, I don't want it to seem like we're being selfish but I don't know, maybe we are? But we won't be abandoning our fans, they're the ones who really got us to this point. To the point where we could make our dreams into reality.

"How are we going to tell the guys?" Cameron asks me, he's been thinking about the same thing I have.

"We all fly in the day before the event, I think this is the kind of news we have to tell in person," I reply, my eyes leave the screen and I look at Cameron. He's chewing on his bottom lip like he always does when he has something on his mind. My heart beats a little faster and I look away, wondering whats going on with me?

"You're right," he says and he puts his controller down and faces me. I put mine down as well, and look at him again.

"This is going to be amazing, you realize that right?" He tells me and I nod at him.

"Like I always said I wanted to be in movies, but the fact that it's actually going to happen is so crazy to me. It's hard to wrap my mind around it. I'm nervous, I'm scared like what if it doesn't work out? What if I never get any parts?" He confesses softly. I move closer to Cameron and put my arms around his shoulder, he lays his head on mine and sighs.

I rub his arm gently. "Of course you're going to get parts, Cam. You're so talented, casting directors would be stupid not to see your potential."

Even though we've hugged like this plenty of times, this time it feels different to me. I can feel the butterflies in my stomach and I get an insane urge to lift Cameron's head off my shoulder and kiss him.

" You always know exactly what to say to make me feel better Nash, I'm so lucky I get to call you my best friend. I think I'm going to start acting classes when I get back to Cali after our last Magcon," he says, changing subjects. My butterflies turn into a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. Cameron returning to California means we'll be apart. I know that it has to happen, he can't stay here indefinitely. I don't want him to go though, I love spending every day with him.

"I'm going to miss you when you go back to Cali," I tell him honestly. I don't usually hide any of my feelings from Cameron, and I know he probably feels the same way.

"What if you came with me?" He says lifting his head, his eyes sparkling at his idea.

"What do you mean?" I ask him, I still have my arm around him and I don't plan on moving it anytime soon, I like this.

"What if you moved to Cali? I bet your dad would be all for it," he says excitedly. "We could get our own apartment and live together. You could do like online school or whatever. I mean we're serious about moving up to filming actual movies, how can you do that if you're based in North Carolina?"

A smile spreads on my face when I realize he's absolutely right. I would miss my family, but I would have Cameron and I know my dad would be around considering that his full-time job is to be our manager.

"You're a genius, Cam. Why didn't I think of that?" I reply and I get excited too. I know my mom might be reluctant to let me go but she's been supportive so far and I doubt she would stop now.

"Call Chad," He tells me and I pull out my phone and call my dad, I put it on speakerphone when he picks up so Cam can hear what he says.

"Dad, Cam and I were talking about our plans for the future. And we both think it might be a good idea for me to relocate to California. It doesn't make much sense to stay in North Carolina, especially if I want to be making movies and grow my popularity." I say and the phone is silent for a moment. My excitement starts to wane, maybe my father doesn't agree with us.

"I was going to bring that same thing up to you guys. It's the best move to make at this point. With you in LA we'll be able to make moves quickly. It would just be too much to try flying back and forth, not to mention extremely costly. We're going to LA this weekend for a few meetings I set up today, while we're there we'll go apartment hunting." He tells me and I cheer silently.

"Sounds like a good plan," I tell him, a big grin on my face. I look at Cameron who looks equally as happy.

"Nila is calling me, we'll talk more later. I'll forward you the flight details and the itinerary for the weekend," He tells me.

"Okay dad, bye I love you," I reply.

"Love you too, son." He says and I hang up the phone. Cameron and I high five each other and then we hug tightly.

"This is working out perfectly," he tells me. I close my eyes and enjoy the feeling of Cameron's body close to me.

I can't wrap my mind around what's going on with me right now. Why am I feeling this way about Cam all of a sudden? What changed? Cameron pulls away and I immediately miss the closeness we had.

I can't help but start to wonder how Cameron feels about me. I bet nothing's changed for him, I'm still just his best friend but for me, things have changed.

"We should probably get to bed," Cameron says softly. "It's getting late."

I nod at him and stand up from the floor. I strip down to my boxers and slide under my covers. Cameron and I have been sharing my bed, it's king size so there's plenty of room. But tonight feels different for me, I see Cameron in a different light and sleeping next to him is making me feel excited in a different way.

I start to think of ways I can 'accidentally' cuddle with him during the night. Cameron gets into bed as well, wearing only his boxers too. He has his phone and I can see he's creeping on twitter. I turn off the light and lie down on my side, facing Cameron. I stare at him, his phone's screen illuminating his face. How did I never notice how plump and kissable his lips are?

"Why are you staring at me, dude?" He says, his gaze not leaving his phone. How the hell can he tell I'm staring at him? My mind scrambles to find an excuse. I decide to go for the joke, and try to play it off.

"It's cause you're so gorgeous, bae." I say in a New York accent, drawing out the 'gorgeous'. He scoffs and laughs at me.

"You cannot be this weird, Nash." He replies, still laughing. I smirk, if only he knew the thoughts that were crossing my mind. He plugs his phone in and puts it on the nightstand table. He lies on his back and I stay on my side. He usually falls asleep quickly, and he's a pretty deep sleeper.

"Night, Nash..." he murmurs as his eyelids start to drift closed.

"Night, Cam." I reply softly. I keep my eyes on him as he falls asleep. I wait patiently until Cameron's breathing is deep and regular. I inch close to him until I can feel the warmth of his body. I bite my lip as I contemplate my next move, I don't want to move to fast just in case Cameron wakes up. I wait a few more minutes patiently, Cameron starts to snore softly and I know he's deep asleep. I slowly move his arm and then rest my head on his chest, snuggling up close to him. Cameron shifts and my heart pounds, scared that he's going to wake up but all he does is place his arm around me. He continues to snore softly and I close my eyes.

Cameron's arms around me make me feel so safe. Not sure how I'll be able to sleep without them from now on but I enjoy this moment. I take in a deep breath, enjoying his scent a mixture of fading cologne and Cameron. My eyes start to feel heavy and I fall asleep in Cameron's arms.
