written by:Kim

"Mom...I am not gonna have sex with any guy or girl that comes along my way...just because you feel sorry for my life right now.." Cameron told her mom. "I don't know...you living like this..it's really making me feel guilty for even bearing you out.." She brushed her daughter's hair. "Mom...I'm okay...I'm fine...healthy as ever..." She smiled and stared at her hand. "You have a band-aid...from what?!" Her mom took her hand. "Just a cut...I fell, and my palms landed on the floor...and there just happened to be a broken piece of glass...I'm okay.." "How did you get it to stop?" Cameron smiled and rolled her eyes. "This guy...he sort of helped me out...he..Mom...his saliva...he just cleaned up the wound...like he didn't care if I had aids or HIV..." "Really..." Mrs. Fowley grinned. "Don't look at me that way..." She laughed, pulling the cover of her bed off so she can get under. "Oh Honey...I just want you to be okay.." "This whole sex thing...it's not gonna get me cured is it?" "Bodily fluid...and since..you know...is internal...it might just cure you.." "Mom...this whole intercourse sex for sperm need is grossing me out...I don't even think it's gonna work....this whole thing is just not believable...I am not going to have sex with a guy just because I believe that he or even a she can save me.." She said and pulled the cover up to her shoulder, pulling her arms over it. "I'm tired....it was a hard day." "Did you talk with Diana today?" "Dr. Landon? Yeah..." "Feel better? I wish you would tell me some of this stuff you know...like from your heart....I don't want to have to hear it through your doctor.." "I know...I'm sorry.." "Okay..we'll talk later...go to sleep.." Mrs. Fowley kissed Cameron on the forehead and turned off the lamp. "Be careful Cammi.."

"She was weird B-ROK..." Nick told Brian on the plane. "I wonder what she's doing.." "What? Man Chaos...you met this girl for like 15 minutes..and you can't stop thinking of her...can you say 'Love at first sight?'" Brian chuckled and chug down a bottle of water. "She was so paranoid...just cut her finger right? And it gave her the idea that she was going to die...weird eh? And her smile...I've never seen such a beautiful smile...stars like us get our teeth bleached, and it isn't even compare to her.." "Nick...why don't you stop bugging B-ROK..and give her a call whenever you're free...ask her out.." Kevin told him. "Thank you.." Brian grinned and put on his headphones.

"You have a Nick on the phone?" Mrs. Fowley held the cordless phone in one hand as she stepped out to the porch where Cameron was drooling in the sun. "No...don't know anyone by that name.." She mumbled and put down a yellow color pencil, picking up a blue one. "You sure? He sounds like a really good friend.." "No..." "Okay.." Mrs. Fowley walked back inside, about to tell Nick, on the other line that he got the wrong number but... "Wait! I do know him..." Cameron smiled. "Thanks Mom...." She nodded and mouthed, 'it's him' to her. "Hey..." "Cammi right? Hi.." Nick said softly. "Yeah...um...what made you think of me and call? Did you have another lolly pop for breakfast or something?" She joked. "No...I was just sitting at home, bored for the first time in my life..." Nick chuckled. "And....I was wondering if....to my pleasure that I can take you out tonight?" "Umm.." "Or maybe any night...your pick..." Nick said quickly. "I'm just kidding...I would love to go out tonight.." "Really?" "Yeah..." "How's your finger?" Nick asked, concerned. "It's okay...thanks to you. Doctor Backstreet.." "That sounded cute.." Nick laughed. "Oh really...so..." "Are you into my music?" "Should I be honest or tell you something that will send you to bed with a happy face.." She joked. "Hmm...I would love to go to bed with a happy face...but I'd like the honest answer...." "I was just joking...I love your music.." "Really..." "Yeah...why.." "Nah...you didn't jump and attacked me or even screamed...cuz of what I did to you the other day.." "I was going to...but in my situation....I couldn't scream...I can't believed that you did that....you actually saved my life Nick.." Cameron entered her room and closed the door.

Mrs. Fowley hearing her daughter talk on the phone with a guy made her happy. Nick and Cameron talked all afternoon. "Um...I forgot how you look.." Nick lied. "I thought you said I was the most beautiful person you ever saw?" "I said that?" "No...but aren't I?" "And I thought I was conceited.." Nick laughed. "Okay...that was a bit off. Are you trying to flirt?" "No! I just can't picture you right now.." Nick lied. Her face has imprinted onto every part of his brain. "Well, I can...or maybe I should just flip through a magazine...you must be in there somewhere.." Nick laughed. "You're funny and pretty.." "So you do think I'm pretty.." "Didn't I tell you that when I met you?" Nick asked. "Yeah..." "So you have a boyfriend?" "You are flirting..." " So sue me.." "Nah....I'll probably loose..." Nick and Cameron both laugh.

"So are you going to pick me up or do I need to drive up to your royalty mansion?" Cameron asked. "Hey..it's a date..of course the guy picks the girl up...I'm a classic gentleman here.." "Yeah..who sucked on my finger the first time you met me.." "You said you were dying...what was I suppose to do?" Nick laughed. "You were kinda silly..So watcha doing?" "Getting ready for my special date.." She told him. "Really? Wow...you'll go all out for me?" "Hmm..maybe not...and I was gonna make you a man tonight.." She giggled. "Oh really...I'm looking forward to it.." Nick blew a whistle. "Hey Nick?" "Yeah?" "I have to go....I'll see you at 6?" "Be there a minute early.." Nick ended their conversation.

"Wow..." He said and clicked the phone off. "That was the most amazing chat I've ever had with a person." He said and turned towards B-ROK who was sleeping on the couch. "Yo B! I'm gonna go out later...don't wait up. And if Mom calls...tell her I'll be home tomorrow...and if any relatives call...tell them I'll get back to them later.." "Bye.." Brian mumbled and fell asleep again.

"Hi..!" Cameron entered the office with a happy face. "Wow...two weeks already?" "Yup..." She said and took her seat comfortably on the couch. "Well? You seem happy.." "Yes...I am...I have a date.." "Really...with whom may I ask.." "Just because we've known each other for so long.." "Well? Are you going to tell me?" "That boy I told you about..." "The one that..." "Yup...him.." "Great! I'm happy for you! This means that you don't have to.." "If you are gonna go into the 'sleep with him' talk, save it. You and Mom..." She rolled her eyes. "Cammi...okay...well, I mean..just someday...you are going to know how important getting cured is.." "Through sex..that is gross...I am not going....again...not going to sleep with this...this...really-sexy-gorgeous blue eyes-really nice and generous-man." Dr. Landon smirked and raised her eyebrows. "I think we have your cure eh?" "Nah..just a date..." She laughed. "But I will surrender to his request.." "That's my girl.." "I was just joking.....so Mom and I chatted last night right?" "Hmm mm..."

Cameron began discussing her problems and her secrets and the stuff that was in her mind. An hour later, she left the office and drove back home, only finding Nick, talking to her Mom. "Hi...oh my god.." "Stop saying that.." Nick laughed. "You're more beautiful than the way I wanted to picture you.." Nick smiled. "You're over dress..." She looked at his outfit. He was amazingly handsome in his khaki and white jacket. "Oh really...I thought you would be over dress...so you know.." Nick scratched his head. "That's okay...I have to go change...you met my mom?" Cameron smiled at her mother. Mrs. Fowley surely recognizes Nick and was angry at her daughter. "Nick..why don't you wait here...and I'll go help her..." "Sure thing...Nice house.." Nick smiled and sat on the couch, looking and observing the house. Cameron smiled and nodded, with her mom pulling her upstairs.

"I can't believe you have that man sitting on our couch! Is he the guy that called the one that saved.." "Yes!" "Great...!" Her mom sounded more excited than Cameron was. "Wear something sexy.." "No...we're teenagers..I don't want to sell my body here...I'm trying to sell my mind.." "Well Sweetie..you did that. You have great personality..and that's why he's here..." "I know...but I don't know Mom...maybe I'm not interested in this guy..." "Okay...I won't force you to...but just think of your situation..." "Am I being put on a time limit to live here? I mean...I..I'm 18 for godsake..!" She said and pulled out a white dress. "No Honey..there's a lot of time left...but what if this guy slip away...where would you find a guy to save you? I mean...this is a guy...!" "And?" "Your best friend Sophia...is she going to sleep with you?" "Mom...Sophia has a boyfriend.." "My point exactly..." "And I manage to be alive today because Sophia gave me a lot of blood after that little bloody nose.." "Thank God...I told you to eat healthy.." Mrs. Fowley fixed her hair and the two walked back downstairs.

"Wow!" Nick stood up. "I would love to give you flowers..." He walked up to her. "But that would only make them jealous..." Cameron frowned at Nick. "That was so cheesy Nick.." "I know.." He laughed and led her to the door. "Bye Mrs. Fowley...thanks for letting me borrow Cammi.." "Bye...have fun...Cammi...think of what I said.." "Okay.." She smiled and turned to Nick. "Let's go...before she makes me do something that I don't want to.." She whispered to Nick. Nick frowned and shrugged.

Nick took her to the beach. "I know I'm obsessed with this whole beach issue.." "Really? I haven't notice..." Cameron laughed as she tuck her toes under the sand. "So...you wanna tell me about yourself?" "Sure..let's go for a walk.." She said and stood up, putting her slippers back on. "Don't you like the sand?" 'Not if there are glasses and pieces or metal that will cut me...' She told herself. "Um..my toes are cold?" "I don't buy it, but okay...since you're already weird to me.." NICK smiled and put an arm over her shoulder. "So...go ahead...ladies first.." "I was born right here in Orlando General Hospital...my Dad and Mom had a divorce when I was 3....." Cameron smiled as she continued. "Wow!" Nick nodded and smiled. "You had a great childhood.." "Hmm..I would say that.." "Okay...my turn....I was born in New York as Nickolas Gene Carter..." Nick continued his life story and went on and on, before they knew it, they were staring at the moon.

"Now that's a childhood...I mean, you have cool parents...always taking care of you, even during the time you guys were in the streets.." "Yeah...we wanted to be in the streets though...that was weird..but I had a great time..." "And you made a lot of friends...with the elderlies...that is.." "Yup...They were the best story tellers...the old men will talk about their war stories..or even history to me..and they smell so strong that I got use to it..and after we left that place...I really missed them..." "That's really sweet Nick..." "Yeah...so what's up with this therapy stuff that you go to.." Nick asked. "Nothing..." "Come on...I'm a friend now..don't wanna tell me?" Nick whined, swinging her arm as they reached his parked car. "I have problems.." "What kind?" "Do you have to know?" Nick squinted his eyes at her. "No...but I would like to...someday..if you want to tell me.." "Someday then.." She smiled and go in the car.

Nick shrugged and got into the drivers seat, putting his key into the ignition and turning on the engine. "One of your song?" "No... ‘N Sync.." Nick smiled and pulled away from the shore. "Oh..." She said. "You mad?" "No.." Nick answered. "Just curious...what a girl like you is going through...that needed to be hidden from people who cares about you.." Nick said and was the last thing he said that night.

"So he told you off?" Sophia asked on the phone. "I don't know...I just feel really bad...and you're the only one that knows about my 'internal' disease...and thanks again for being that special someone that saved my life a million time.." "No problem...I'm just sorry I'm not a guy..I will definitely sleep with you to make you all better.." "You're sick girl..." Sophia laughed. "So...tell him...you know what?" "What.." Cameron asked. "Seduce him...." "No...you, Mom, and Dr. Landon are so scandalous.." "Why not? I know there's probably about 10 other guys out there that can save you...but you found one right here...so why not? You're not gonna stand around waiting for a different person to come into your life..and that next person might be a girl like me...then what are you going to do?" "Sophie..you are fucking wicked girl.." "Seduce him...sleep with him...and then dump him...he'll have one hell of a night and then that's it.." "That's it? You can't just say, 'Okay, I'm cured now, thanks to you! Bye forever!'" Cameron said sarcastically. Sophia laughed her ass off. "You make it sound so much easier than me Cammi.." "What....what if I like him...and I want him to hang around...be around even after he gives me his magic medicine.." Cameron giggled. "Ooohhh magic medicine..." Sophia laughed. "Well...keep him around then, I don't give a damn..it's your choice..." "I'll hurt him though...I don't want to do that...no one does if you just look at that face. And he's...he's just special..I can't explain...something inside of him I guess...and his words just wants you to tell him everything..." "Tell him that you're.." "No I didn't...of course I didn't..He'll be so scared of me...he won't even wanna touch me.." "So now what?" "He says he wants me to come over tomorrow.." "He says..or did you suggest.." "He suggested of course..after my attitude tonight....figure I owe him one.." "Cool...maybe you should go get some rest...if you need me you know where to find me.." "Thanks Sophie..bye..." Cameron sighed and hung up.

Nick ignored the thought on Cameron's behavior the previous night and rented movies, enjoying the talks they have, and just getting to know her. But he was starting to get freaked out when some scenes of the movie scared her. "I'm so sorry...I can't.." She said and ran off. "What?" He pulled her. Cameron turned her back to the TV and buried her face into Nick's shoulder. "You're scared?" "Terribly...please turn it off.." Cameron asked him, almost on the verge of crying. All the knives and blood scenes from 'I Still Know What You Did Last Summer'. "Okay..." Nick said and clicked stop on the VCR. "Thank you.." "Are you okay? "Yeah...I'm fine now.." "I didn't know...if I knew then...I should've rented some comedy.." "Don't worry about it...I'm just weird.." "I don't think so...you're just scared of scary movies..like I'm scared of the dark.." Nick smiled, touching her face. "Are you sure you're okay?" "Yeah.." "You're still shaking.." "I know...I'll be okay though..." Cameron held her hands together. Nick smiled and took her hand into a tight grip with his. "I've finally see the other side of you.." He said softly and leaned in, catching her lips, and locking it with his. Cameron felt his tongue touching hers and quickly pulled away. "I'm gonna go home.." "I'm sorry.." Nick ran his fingers through his hair. "Maybe...I'm...trying to get something out of this...and I'm really sorry.." 'Maybe I am too..' She thought to herself. "We'll take this nice and slow okay? I'm really sorry.." "That's okay..um...goodnight..." "Night Cammi.." Nick smiled and leaned in, kissing her lightly on her cheek.
