"Is she alright?" Nick stood at the doorway of Cameron's house. "She's at her appointment right now...she should be home...why don't you come in?" Mrs. Fowley told Nick. "Nah.." Nick said with a smile. "No..come in. I have to tell you something..." She told him and pulled the door wider as an invitation. "Okay.." Nick said and entered. "Can we go to her room? I've never seen it.." "Yeah.." Mrs. Fowley smiled. They walked upstairs and Nick was amazed at her naturistic room. "She likes plants.." "Yeah..and the ocean.." "Like me.." Nick whispered as he touched little potted plants lined up by her window. He looked around and noticed her seashell collection hung up as a wind chime, making beautiful music. "I feel like I'm inside of her.." "I never really wanted her to collect these seashells...each time she goes out to search for them, I fear she might get hurt." Nick turned around from looking at a book on her desk and stared at Cameron's mother. "What do you mean she gets hurt?" "Sit, Nick..." Mrs. Fowley patted the bed. Nick sighed and sat down, never lost contact with the woman. "Cameron is sick. She's been sick all of her life. Ever since she was born...." "Cancer?" Nick breathed out. "No...not that bad...but to a young and beautiful girl like Cameron..it's hard on her. I sometimes wished she has cancer or a heart disease..or something....anything but the one she has.." "What..." Nick was scared...but soon, pitty and sorrow filled his heart. "She doesn't stop bleeding Nick. Besides the kind she excess monthly...any blood the drips out of her body will never stop. "Oh God.." Nick's heart raced in fear. "She should've told me...that's why she was so scared every time she got a cut." "And what did you do?" "I...I was taught that saliva was the cleanest thing that you can use if you don't have antiseptic around...so I...helped her clean it.." Nick answered. "Nick...thank you...thank you for being there for my daughter....and there's something else I have to tell you..." Mrs. Fowley told him everything from the way Cameron had been living her life to what Nick can give her a much better one. It was all so unbelievable to Nick. "So that was the reason...but why didn't she tell me? I would help her out..." "I don't know what she thinks. She said she doesn't need you to do this for her...and that she feels that it's wrong..." Nick nodded and was deep in thought. "I love her...I would do anything..."

"Mom! I'm home! Sorry...I stopped by the beach...and.." She dropped her rocks and shells at the sight of Nick at the porch table. "What are you doing here?" "I came to see you of course...silly.." Nick chuckled. "So...I checked out your room...looks like mine's. Have you been stalking me?" Nick winked at her and laughed as he got up and walked over to her. "You seem shocked to see me.." "Of course I'm shocked..." She whispered out as she stood still and he placed a kiss on her cheek. 'He's acting like nothing happened!' "I really miss you..." Nick smiled. "Your mom said she needed to go out of town for a day or two.." "Probably to my father's.." She said and looked around. "Maybe.." Nick smirked as he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed the back of her neck. "I really miss you Cammi...so bad.." "Me too.." She whispered and relaxed a bit. "Let's go out and eat yeah?" He asked her tenderly and nibbled her ears. "Huhhhh..." She sighed and whimpered. "Nick...I told you..." "Let's go.." Nick said and took her hand.

Nick smiled as he drove. "Why are we eating at a hotel....we can just dine in at some fast food you know..this is too fancy...I'm not even dressed for it.." She whispered to him as he got off the car. "Come on...!" Nick said and opened the door for her. "You're gonna be fine..." Cameron sort of knew what he was doing, but she wanted to see what else he had up his sleeves. 'Is he doing this for him? Or does he know?' She asked herself as she watched him eat. "What's wrong? Your food doesn't taste good?" "They're delicious..thank you.." She gave him a fake smile. She continued to stared at him and then it came out. "My mom told you didn't she." Nick froze his fork in front of his lips. He slowly brought it back to his plate and let it down. "Yeah...." "Okay...how do you feel?" Nick looked up at her. "You know what I wanna do?" She frowned at him. "You know what I wanna do?" "Nick...I can't do this to you...and...." Nick dropped down his table napkin and got up. He quickly took her hand and headed to the elevator. Nick quickly kissed her hard on the mouth. Cameron gasped and placed her hands on his chest, pushing him off her, but he was too strong. He was attached to her body. "Nick! Listen to me!" Then she heard the bell of the elevator, which means they have reached their destination floor.

"Let's go..." Nick said and pulled her out to the hall of the hotel. "Nick,...no...Nick...no, no, no.." She struggled to lose his grip on her hand. "Look! We're gonna get you better okay?!!" Nick yelled into her face as he stopped in front of a room. He had feared in his eyes and he was gonna burst into tears. "I...I'm so scared for you Cammi...I love you so much....and...." "I'm healthy...I don't need you.." "Yes you do! Why don't you just take me and settle on what you have! Cuz I'm here for you! Just....make a good use out of me..." Nick finally calmed down as he realized how loud he was being towards the woman he loved. Cameron looked down and sniffled. "You love me?" "Very much..." He touched her face. "I can't......" She cried. "I can't believe this is happening to me..I should've never met you...I should've never even gone out with you...what was I thinking?" She cried as he embraced her into his arms. "NO...don't say that. I...I'm so so so glad we met. Because you are one amazing girl. Not only you are willing to spend time with me...but you are willing to spend time off and away from me....and you're never angry at me...and you always laugh at my jokes.." "Someone needs to..." She chuckled back tears. "Let's go inside.." Nick whispered and opened the door to the hotel room. Nick walked in from behind her, afraid she might get scared and turned around, leaving him behind. "It's too late to turn around.." Nick whispered as he came up behind her and kissed her cheek.

"I've always wanted to do this...but I was too afraid of what might happen to me..." "What?" Nick asked, more concerned about her situation than his. "This is just so weird..What will you think of me?..." Nick sighed in relieve. "Walk over here.." He said and led her to the bed. The two both sat on the satin sheets of the luxurious bed. "First time..." They both said to each other. Nick chuckled. Cameron smiled. "I don't know if that's a good thing or not.." "It's good...trust me.." Nick said and leaned in...kissing her softly and tenderly on the lips. "No...no...no...stop.." She said and practically jumped up. "Cammi..." Nick breathed. "I'm sorry.." "No. I'm so sorry. I can't do this! I can't do this just because your damn sperm is my way to a better life Nick!! I can't because sex with you is my vaccination!! I just can't!" "Ssshh...ssshh.." Nick took her hand. "I don't want sex Cammi..." He looked at her. "I want to get better too Nick. I really do...." "No...I want your love...I want to make love to you. I want you to know how I feel inside. I want to see how beautiful you are when I wake up next to you. I want to be inside of you, discover what you have to offer other than your great personality.."

She can see his beautiful eyes sparkling at hers. His blond hair hanging down by his eyebrows. His tall frame had her looked up. She took in a deep breath and sat back down. "You alright?" "Yeah..." "We don't have to do it tonight....just anytime you're ready...I'm ready..." Nick whispered into her neck. Cameron closed her eyes and concentrate on the hot breath on her neck. She took a hold of his collar and pulled him on top of her as she laid back down on the bed. She kissed him and roamed his sweet mouth.

Nick giggled and got a breast of hers in his hand, squeezing it. He continued to kiss her until she moved her head to the side, causing his lips to tear away from hers. "I'm sorry.." "That's okay....like I said...we don't have to do this..let's go to sleep okay?" Nick smiled. "Okay.." She told him. She leaned in close to him and wrapped her arms around him. "I shouldn't be living....it's just so stupid.." "You're stupid for thinking like that..." Nick whispered and kissed her forehead. "Go to sleep..."

Nick woke up in the morning feeling lonely in the big empty bed. "Cammi?" He sat up and looked around. He saw her sitting in the corner, dazing off and thinking of something. He laid there and stared at her from across the room. She was thinking of something, but he didn't know what? He kept his eyes half close and was about to drift off to sleep again when he saw, out of the corner of his eyes that she had a thin razor in her fingers. She stared at her risk and brought the razor to it. "No!!! What the hell are you doing?!!" Nick yelled as he jumped out of bed. "Huh?" "No...give that to me now! We....you can't do that until...until...until you're cure!! Give that to me now Cammi!!!" Nick yelled standing far. "What would you want this for?" "To keep it away from you!" Nick yelled. "Please...I love you....your mom loves you...you're gonna be okay..you'll have a great life. We'll be together...and everyone would be happy...now give that to me." Nick said, trying to calm himself down. "I wasn't gonna cut myself.." "Yeah right!!! Girl, hand that over now..." Nick put his hand out. She carefully placed in his hand. "Thank you.." Nick sighed and breathed out. "God you scared me.." "I'm so sorry...I...just wanted to...be normal...wanted to see something...something that never happens to me...I want to see how it all works.." She said and looked down. "Come here.." said Nick as he reached his arms out. She walked slowly over to him and they sat at the corner of the bed. Nick gently placed the razor on the bed and looked at Cameron. "Pain is not something you would want. As a matter a fact...I didn't want it either..." "I wasn't gonna cut you Nick.." She let out a chuckle. "No...you wouldn't do that. But hurting yourself will only bring pain to your friends and family...especially me.." Nick whispered clearly. "I don't want to see you hurt...so if you want to know how it feels..." Nick carefully picked up the razor and looked at her. "I can tell you..." He slowly brought it to his point finger and was about to give himself a cut when she stopped him. "I can feel it already...don't do that please.." She whispered. Nick's eyes peered up at hers. "You sure?" "Of course I'm sure...are you crazy?" She whispered back to him and brought her delicate hands to his face. "Cammi..." "Yeah?" She tilted her head and watched his expression. "Do you love me....?" Nick asked.
