Chapter 29: Phone Calls and Comfort
Cameron's P.O.V
"Tara i just wanna say thank you."
"No problem Cameron." she says through the phone.
"And you're sure he said he had no feelings for her? Nothing at all?"
"He seemed pretty convinced that he feels nothing for Nevada."
"Just please look out for him for me. I know he can be easily manipulated and I hate thinking about him cheating on me but I'd wanna know if he did."
"I understand Cameron. I realize now that you and I both care about Shawn in similar ways. I'm sorry I used to not trust you. You're an amazing influence in his life."
"Thank you Tara for telling me about Nevada. You don't honestly think he would cheat on me do you?"
"I honestly don't think so Cameron. He loves you..... like a lot." she say laughing.
"Well thanks for the reassurance."
"And you said you're not telling Shawn that you're getting off of set early right?"
"Well I told him I might but I didn't tell him for sure or not. I'm just gonna let you know as we get closer to the date, when I'll be leaving. I'll just surprise at one of his performances."
"I'm sure he will be more than excited that night."
"I can't wait to see his face. He's gonna look so freaking adorable."
"Well I gotta go Cameron, it was good talking to yah."
"It was good talking to you too Tara." I end the phone call. Don't think I'm a bad husband for asking Tara to watch out for me. It's not that I don't trust Shawn, I just know that he's made some mistakes that have given me a few trust issues in the past. Like when he went on the camping trip and kissed Aaron. You have no idea how pissed I truly was when I found out. Or when he was secretly planning on leaving MAGCON. But I will say I was also keeping a secret that time so I'm iffy on how I feel about that situation. Like I trust Shawn, I'm just very cautious. Let's see, today is 67 days? I think? I can't wait to just hold him in my arms. Nothing makes me feel more like a man than when I have my Shawn. It's almost 2pm here which means I think it's almost 10pm his time. He's a day behind me I guess. If we finishing filming 15 days early then I get to see Shawn in 18 days. 18 days!!! I had no idea I was that close. Holy shit. And just imagine, what if we finish filming even sooner than 15 days early. I'm definitely tricking Shawn with his. He's gonna have no idea that I'm coming to him so early. I click on his name in my contacts. My phone begins to ring. He should answer any second now. After about a minute the call goes to voicemail. Huh? That's weird. Maybe he's just super busy or something. He's never not answered though. It's ok I guess.
Shawn's P.O.V
"That's right boiiiiii!" Nevada screams laughing. We just finished a game of checkers.
"Shut up. I never lose checkers." I say fake madly.
"Is someone mad that they lost? Is Shawny mad?" she says laughing. Did she just call me Shawny? Should I ask her not to? Would it be awkward? I'm sure it's fine. Cameron's not the only one to have ever called me Shawny.
"Have you seen my phone?" I asked her. We were sitting in the living room of the hotel I was staying in tonight.
"Is it in your bedroom?"
"I don't know. I'll go look." I get up, moving to the bedroom. Sure enough my phone is setting on my bed. I pick it up and see that I have a missed call from Cameron. It was 21 minutes ago that he called.
"Did you find it?" Nevada yells from the living room.
"Yah I found it." I yell in return. I can call Cameron back when she leaves. I see another strange notification. A missed call from my mother.
I just stand and stare at the notification. I haven't talked to my mother in so long. She hated me; so did my dad. Should I call her back? I click on her number and within seconds she answers the call.
"Shawn?" my mom says, holding back tears.
"Mom." I say, the feeling of crying overtaking my body. "Is everything ok?" I ask. The hatred I felt for my parents used to be so strong. When I was in the coma they were the ones that nearly killed me. I would be dead right now because of them, if it weren't for Cameron.
"Sweety...." she pauses. "your dad..... he's........ he's had a heart attack." she says crying into the phone now.
"Mom." I say, my heart breaking. I never imagined this day happening. "Is he gonna be ok?"
"Honestly Shawn we don't know. I think that if you can, that you need to come see him." My mind starts racing. Why do I feel so bad for him. He hated me for who I am; he made me feel so ashamed.
"Mom, I'm on tour right now." I say into the phone. I honestly have no idea what else to say.
"I know sweety. We've been watching on the internet and in the news." They've been watching for me?
"Why would you watch me? I thought I was a disgrace to you. A disgrace to him; he probably doesn't even want me there." I say coldly. At first I felt fear and sadness but now anger is slowly starting to take me over.
"Shawn just forgive him. I know he'll want to see you."
"Mom I have to go. I can't make time for someone who couldn't make time for me. Tell dad if he wakes up that I love him. I love him because he was my dad. I will always love him in way that I don't want to but I still do." My heart breaks.
"Shawn...." I end the phone call. I sit down on the bed. Why does my chest hurt so badly? I realize I'm crying and lay back onto the bed. I click on Cameron's phone number. The phone rings and rings and after about a minute it goes to voicemail. I call 3 more times and still don't get an answer. I'll just figure this out on my own.
"Why!" I yell out loud. I cover my face with my hands. I hear someone walking into the bedroom.
"What's wrong Shawn?" I sit up in the bed to see a sympathetic looking Nevada. I try to keep my face strong but finally give in, tears pouring from my eyes. She makes a sad face, walking towards me and pulling me into a hug. She sits down on the bed next to me, holding me. I cry loudly into her shoulder.
"Why!" I scream out loud again. "Why does this have to happen to me!?" I lay my head back on her shoulder just crying. She doesn't ask what's wrong; she just holds me. She comforts me. It doesn't matter what hurt me, just the fact that I'm hurt and she's hear making sure I'm ok. I finally get a hold of myself. "I'm sorry Nevada." I say, sitting up and drying my eyes.
"Shawn it's ok." She just looks at me with the most comforting eyes. "Do you wanna talk about it?" I look at her for a second, just collecting myself. I'm gonna tell her what's wrong and I'm not going to have a mental breakdown.
"It's my dad."
"What happened to him?"
"Um, he had a heart attack." I say nodding, keeping back this flood of emotions.
"Oh my God Shawn. Is he ok?"
"I don't know. And honestly I don't care." Her face fills with shock. She sits quietly for a few seconds.
"What happened between you two?" she asks seriously.
"When they found out I was gay they disowned me; told me I was a disgrace to them and to God." Her face fills with shock. "And when I was in a coma about 5 or so months ago, they told the doctors to just unplug me." I swallow the lump in my throat. "They wanted me to die. If I weren't for Cameron they would have unplugged me and I'd be dead right now." Tears are falling out of my eyes again. Nevada pulls me into another hug.
"Shawn I'm so sorry. I had no idea about any of that." I just cry into her shoulder. "Why didn't you call Cameron?"
"I did. 4 times. He wouldn't answer."
"Oh." she says awkwardly. "I'm sure there's gotta be a reason he didn't answer." I finally collect myself together and get off the bed.
"Thank you for comforting me when I had no one else Nevada." I say, pulling her into a hug in the doorway.
"I'll always be here for you Shawn. Always." She kisses my cheek. "Goodnight. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Goodnight." I say as she walks away. I hear the hotel room door open and shut. I look down at my vibrating phone in my right hand. Cameron's calling. I don't have enough emotional strength to talk about this again. I set my phone down, plugging it in and crawling into bed, ignoring his call. I'll just tell him about it tomorrow.
