“My intentions are to make her happy and protect her, bro, your sister is the best thing that ever happened to me”
He exchanged looks for Gwen to me, then had a small smile. “You are still a jerk to me, that will never change. But, if you make her happy, then I will be happy too”
Painful thoughts, along with guilty ones clouded my mind.
“Just tell her!” my subconscious scolded. But I couldn't, how could I? God dammit. Cameron's words of wisdom wouldn't stop ringing in my head. But I am not lying to her because I want to, I'm just doing it to protect her. I really have these crazy feelings for her, but I know this is wrong. My mouth doesn’t seem to spit out what I have to say, and that is eating me alive.
“Thanks” was my only response.
I just reached a new level of stupidness. Her brother smiled and gave us one last look before turning on his heels to leave. I was one again left alone with Gwen. She had such a happy expression that I didn't wanted to ruin her. God, she's so beautiful.
“Wow, that went better than I expected” she laughed and hugged me. I hugged back, but tighter. Her hair smelled so good, so sweet. I closed my eyes, savoring this moment.
I will tell her. Just not now, but I know that it needs to be done, eventually. She does the deserves this. With the pregnancy, with everything that she' expectations been through; she doesn't fucking deserves this.
Chapter 45 - The Words Can't Come Out
Gwen's P.O.V
We've hang out the entire week. It was amazing how caring he was, how romantic. Every time he hugs me, he hugs me so tightly that it seems like he does believe I will vanish in any second. That is so sweet.
“I can't believe he lets you be with me” Finn smiled and kissed my forehead. We were currently in his apartment, watching a very cliché movie, but I didn't care, as long as I was with this cute blue-eyed boy, nothing will ever matter.
“I know, though I still need to tell my parents about it, and they for sure won't take it that good” I said and took out my phone. I got into Twitter and started typing Finn's username.
“Wh-what are you doing?” he chuckled nervously, while taking my phone out of my hands.
“I was about to follow you on Twitter” I said and tried to get my phone back, but his arms are way longer than mine, so he of course had it out of my reach.
“Y-you don't have to, babe” he said. Why was he so nervous?
“Why not? I want to follow you. . .I never felt like doing that, since I was never a huge fan—no offense”
“Is just that—” he scratched the back of his head.
“Is just that what?” I pushed.
He locked gazes with me. “We are dating, right?” he asked. I was taken aback for a second.
“I guess”
“If you follow me on Twitter, it would seem like I am with a fan, not just a normal girl. You don't have to follow me, Gwen, really”
“Oh come on—”
“I'm serious, babe, you don't have to” he gave me a peck on my lips and smiled reassuringly.
I let go a heavy sigh and nodded. “Fine” I replied, and he gave me back my phone. That is such a lame excuse, like, the lamest I've ever heard. But, we are indeed sort of dating right now. If he doesn't want me to follow him (which is weird since he is a god damn POP STAR for the love of God) then I won't follow him, I need to trust him in this one.
We kept watching the movie, until Finn truly got bored and thought it would be a good idea to start kissing me. I didn't complain honestly. I wanted to kiss him just as much. Suddenly, we heard the front door open, so I quickly pulled away.
“Hey, Gwen” Cameron said and plopped down in the couch, exchanging looks from Finn to me.
I smiled. “Hey, Cam. What's up?”
“Not much, really? How's the baby doing?” he asked.
“I believe everything is good. Though I will make an appointment to see the Doctor, perhaps tomorrow”
“Maybe I can go too” Finn butted in.
“That's sweet, but I will ask my mom to come with me”
“But I'm the father—”
“Finn, just let her go with her mom, they probably need son bonding time, right?" Cameron said.
I nodded. “Yeah—”
“But don't you think that as the father, I should be going too. I need to be well aware of what's going on”
"Nash, I get that you want to help, but I think we need this" I said, patting him on the knee.
He sighed defeated, but nodded anyway.
“Anyway, I hope you're doing okay, Gwen" Cam smiled. “And say hi to Dani for me”
“No, I remember that look, and you are so late, my friend” I replied. “She's dating my brother”
“Oh, man, well. . .I hope he makes her happy then” he squeezed my shoulder. “Feel better, and I'll see you around”
I nodded. “Thanks, Cam”
He didn't leave yet, as he gave Finn a look, then walked out the front door. Silence grew among us, until I decided to speak up.
“What was that all about?” I asked. Finn seemed startled for a moment, as if he was just being awakened from a trance.
He shook his head and then offered me a smile. “What?” I asked, furrowing my eyebrows in confusion. He started looking anywhere else, but me.
“Nothing, really. . .I just can't believe that we're actually here, together. After everything that happened, it feels so surreal, that I can have you in my arms”
“Cheesy! Oh, my God” I burst out laughing. He nudged my shoulder playfully.
“Well, I thought girls liked that type of stuff”
“I guess some of us do, I like that you think of me that way, that you actually care for what I'm going through. You've been acting so maturely about this baby situation, and that's something that not every guy can handle. . .And I laughed because I never picture you saying these things”
“Oh, come on, I can be romantic”
I nodded in agreement. “I know”
“So that's why, I got you something, to prove my romanticism" he smirked and retrieved something from his left pocket.
“You don't have to give me anything, Finn, really”
“You're right in that one, babe. I don't have to give you anything at all, but the thing is. . .I want to. And since I can be very stubborn and sometimes, a pain in the ass, you will be forced to accept this gift that took me a lot of patience and dedication to find” he handed me a black box. I smiled and held it in my hands. How thoughtful of him getting me something when he obviously didn't have to.
“Come on, open it!”
“Fine! Fine, chill, geez”
“Well, I want to know if you like it or if I suck at giving presents to girls”
I chuckled and slowly opened the box, revealing a gold necklace with the shape of a heart. I gasped and grabbed it.
“Oh, my God, Finn, is beautiful”
Finn's P.O.V
“I tried to find the most beautiful necklace, so it can fit a beautiful girl” I said and kissed the top of her head. She smiled brightly and hugged me tightly.
“I love it! Finn, this is beautiful” I said. He pecked on my lips, his blue eyes lighting up. “Can you put it on?” she asked and handed me the necklace. She grabbed my hair and put it aside so I can put it. I did, and hugged her from behind, kissing her cheek.
“You look gorgeous, as always” she hugged me once again, then placed a kiss on my neck. Suddenly, my phone buzzed, so Nash pulled away from me. It was a text from Cam. . .
Cam:
“Call me, now”
I told Gwen to give me a second and I quickly rushed to another room, making sure of locking the door. I dialed Cameron's number as fast as my fingers would let me. I pressed the phone to my ear and waited for him to pick up. He did almost instantly.
“Finn, thank God” he said.
“W-what-what happened!? Are you alright!?”
“Yes, b-but, is about Gwen”
“What about her Cam, spit it out!” I was getting desperate.
“Have you seen the tweets?” he asked.
“What are they saying now?”
“Not only tweets, Finn. . .They posted videos, a lot of them, insulting Gwen” he said. I started pacing around the room. This can't be happening! I can't fucking believe it!
"This have gone way too far. . ." I said, leaning my back against the wall.
“Yeah, because of you”
“Don't you think I already know that? Fuck!” I groaned in frustration, hitting the wall. This was the last thing I wanted to happen. What the hell. . .I didn't want them to go against Gwen. She doesn't deserve this; she hasn't done anything wrong. I am the asshole here.
“What do you want me to do!?”
“To tell her the truth, Finn, for the love of God, what you should've done a long time ago"
“But that won't change anything, right? Think about it, Cam, remember she's pregnant, I open my mouth and there's another thing that she needs to worry about, another thing to add to her list of stress”
“But don't you think it's better if she finds out by you, and not strangers, huh? I can see the way she looks at you; do you want to lose her?”
“Why do you think I'm doing this in the first place? Do you think I actually enjoy knowing that these girls are talking shit about her, do you think I'm happy with this?”
“Finn, you know lying to her isn't doing any better. She needs to know that half of your fans are basically bullying her, and she doesn't have the fault. . .”
“Dammit, you're right!”
“Of course I'm right, you dummy. Now, go talk to her now!”
“She won't forgive me, Cam. I really don't want to lose her” I tried to fight the tears, I can't cry, I just can't. But every time I think of losing the beautiful hazel-eyed girl that is outside in our living room, I just want to bawl my eyes out, for being so stupid. I never wanted anything like this to happen. Why? Just tell me why the fuck why is this happening!? Wait, I know. . .Because I'm such a douche bag that had supposedly one night stand with an innocent girl. Hope that cleared up the confusion of why am I winning the trophy for Jerk of the Year.
He let go a heavy sigh, “If I was her, I would really like to know the truth by someone I know. And not having to find out by social media. . .We've talked about this”
“C-Cam—” I took a deep breath, one single tear escaped my eyes and I quickly wiped it away. I sat at the ground, and put the phone down for just a second to compose myself, before I really become a true wreck. I placed the phone back to my ear. “I know you're right, and that she deserves to know the
