Free Waiting for you (Part 1) by Kelli Lawler

baby”
    “I know where I want to go Hayden”
    “Anywhere baby. Where?”
    “Bella Lake. Our lake”
    Pulling up to a spot by Bella Lake and turning off the car, Hayden turned to Cammy and caressed her face, not saying a word. He didn’t have to. She knew he was sorry for what he had done. The hurt from tonight was in his eyes. His breathing was fast and nervous. Cammy noticed him in a different light, his jeans that fit him so well, one of the first things she noticed about him in school, though they were uniform pants. Hay had on his signature flannel drenched in his musky scent and the way he could just look at her and they could read one another’s thoughts just by touch, by looking.
    “You are the best thing that has ever happened to me Cammy Sage, I love you with everything that I am.”
    This was yet another moment between them that would reaffirm what they already knew. This was a love of a lifetime, their love.
    “This is our lake Hayden. Whenever we fight, or have doubts , or just need something to believe in, this is where we will go. Bella means love. Bella means Cammy and Hayden forever.”
    Cammy leaned into Hayden and they held each other tight, tighter than they ever had. His breathing finally slowed and a weight fell off of them. He ran his fingers through her hair and buried his head into it and sucked up every breath of it he could. Cammy’s scent permeated the car, his body, his life.
    “Let’s go home baby. We are going to freeze here!”
    On the drive home, they went through the drive thru of some donut shop and got donuts and hot chocolate, an indulgence they both loved but hardly ever gave in to.
    They were laughing and joking when they got into the house. Heading upstairs to get into a warm bed, Cammy’s cell rang. When she looked at the caller id it said Liam.
    “Who is it babe?” Hayden took the phone from her hand.
    “What do you want man?” Hayden answered it with a harsh tone.
    “Sorry, sorry man, but its Davey, he’s completely trashed and needs to go home, I don’t want this shit here tonight. He won’t take the car service, he wants Cammy. Come and get him but hurry up, he has already puked”
    “Yea, ok, we will be there soon”
    Hayden hung up and turned to Cams.
    “Why is he in your phone?”
    “I forgot to delete it out. He put it in when he told me all of that shit. What’s going on?”
    “We have to go and get Davey, says he so trashed that he doesn’t want him there and he’s throwing up. Let’s go . He can stay here tonight.”
    “K baby”
    “You have to tell me where to go since you have been there before”
    “Let’s go Hayden. I wonder what’s going on with Davey. Hurry.”
    And out the door they went to The Tuscany, to Liam’s lair. Cammy gave Hay the directions and they finally pulled up to that massive building once again. They parked in front and a concierge was already outside, ready to take us up to his penthouse. They went inside and got into the elevator.
    “Nice fucking place”
    “I know right?” Cammy said back to Hayden.
    The elevator opened up to the 15 th floor, just like before. Liam was standing in the foyer, waiting for their arrival.
    “Thanks for coming to get him. He’s in the living room.” Hayden followed Liam with Cammy in tow.
    Davey was a wreck, lying on the big purple couch, his head hanging off.
    “Hay man, Cams, how do you do? Have you come to get me? That’s my beautiful sister and the ever so handsome fiancé!”
    “Get up Davey, let’s get in the car, you are coming to our place. Get up.”
    Hayden was standing him up and leading him to the waiting elevator.
    “I’ll put him in the car Cams and be right back for you and Aspen”
    “Ok babe”
    He loaded Davey into the elevator and the doors closed. Cammy heard it start to make its way down and to the lobby.
    “Where is Aspen Liam?”
    “She’s not her love. She left with one of the people here. That’s what’s wrong here.”
    “Couldn’t you have
