The Donelly/Foss family is settled into the resort nicely.
Trevor Donnelly was made by @dandylion240!
“Would they really do that, honey?” Karen asked. “I don’t think they’d exclude you boys. I mean, Bentley did invite you on this reunion trip.”
“How do you think Bentley and Barrett feel?” Trevor asked, raising a slight brow. “Shay, you and Cameron are literally twins. I imagine there were times your bandmates felt left out. Hell, even I feel left out when the two of you are together sometimes. It happens.”
“That’s true,” Cameron agreed. “Bentley and Barrett have been best friends since childhood. They’re always going to have a tight bond no matter how much time passes, same as us. But, that doesn’t mean we’re not still their friends either.” Though despite his well intentioned words, Cameron could see that his brother looked unconvinced. “Enough of that negativity. This is supposed to be a fun time. We’re all going to be back together again!”
“With our families,” Karen added. “I’m a little afraid to see how that all unfolds. I was never close with the other wives. I guess…I guess Shay and I feel a little guilty that we pulled away when the Van drama happened. We were worried about our own lives.”
“You had a child,” Trevor said, as if it was obvious. “You didn’t want to involve Oliver in all of that drama, and Shay’s music career was taking off. Cameron and I don’t fault you guys for having your own life.” He smiled warmly at her. “If anything, I should have been more involved. It was my information that got Barrett further down the rabbit hole.”
“Enough!” Cameron said rather abruptly (and loudly) as he hopped off of the kitchen counter with a forceful stop. “I said no more negativity. Do you guys even listen to me? No more of this. It happened so many years ago. We’ve all moved on and grown. We love each other, and we’re going to have fun.” Cameron placed his hands over his chest and everyone, including his husband, knew that meant the case was closed and there’d be no more talking of guilt…at least not on the first day of the trip.
Karen was a beauty that not even time could touch. Cameron had always thought that and he wasn’t afraid to let his brother’s wife know. She positively glowed in the new dress she had purchased, no doubt just for this vacation. He remembered her video calling him at the mall to see what he thought Shay would like the best. Something simple yet elegant. It didn’t take much to impress his twin. Cameron smiled thinking about his brother’s relationship. The pair were very much in love, their own adventures each strengthening the bond that they shared. “You look amazing,” Cameron had finally told her, kicking his legs out in front of him, giving Shay a teasing look.
“Quite the charmer as always, Cameron,” Karen said, suppressing a giggle. “Lovely seeing you and Trevor again. The boys are excited to be spending two months together as well.”
“The two knuckleheads are back together again,” Trevor said with a chuckle. “The island isn’t ready for them. Hopefully Bentley and Barrett’s daughters will even them out a bit. Keep them in line.”
“Speaking of Bentley and Barrett…” Shay’s words fell silently into the air. This was a concern he had held tightly to himself for years, finally ready to spill out in the company of his brother and his brother’s husband. “I feel like seeing them again is going to be strange.”
“Really, why?” Cameron asked, raising a brow. “I for one am really eager to see the guys again. It’s been literal years.”
“I’m excited too, don’t get me wrong,” Shay began, putting his hands up in front of him in defense. “But, they were always closer to each other than us. Sometimes we’re the outsiders looking in. I wonder if the two of them have been in touch this entire time and kept us out of the loop.”
Tyson leaned back into the couch leisurely, watching the comedy show his cousin insisted they watch together. It was funny, but he’d seen better. Oliver on the other hand watched with bated b…
Yay! New Chapter! You can read it on WP first, otherwise I’ll upload it here tomorrow.
Trevor and Karen were made by @dandylion240.
Trever began to pack what little things he had left into a bag. Being in Lucky Palms without Cameron was too much for him. He had seen a future with the singer, but Cameron wasn’t ready to commit. Trever realized that Cameron wouldn’t ever be able to let things go and fully move on until his lawsuit with Trace was over. “You want to put the place on the market?” The real estate agent had asked only a few days prior over the phone.
Yes, the answer was yes. The only way he could hire a private investigator to dig up dirt on Trace Irvin was to get rid of the place he called home. Trever still had some money in his savings, enough to rent out an apartment for a few months. Would Cameron be happy about it? No, of course not but someone had to try and salvage the relationship. “Let me try one more time,” Trever muttered to himself. He dialed the number in his smart phone and held it up to his ear.
While normally Cameron would let the line ring for a few minutes before ultimately declining the call, this time it had gone straight to voicemail. “Cam, it’s me. I haven’t given up on you. On us. I’m going to make things right. Somehow. Don’t worry about it and please… call me back.”
He had lost track of how many times he had sent messages like that to the man he loved but he could tell you how many times he received anything back. Zero times. Cameron had never bothered to check in and that’s hurt Trever more than anything. Was Cameron giving up on him or just himself?
River held his phone up to his face and smiled, scrolling through the pictures of Haley at the Hidden Springs Art Expo. She had looked so pretty with her hair tied up into a bow and the floral prin…
If you want to read the chapter in full over on wordpress, here it is! Otherwise, the rest will be posted to tumblr in the next 2 hours or so.
Debating on writing a summary up until this point but the next gen is going to be slightly detached so any new readers will be able to jump right in.
Anyway, thanks to @dandylion240 for Trever and Avalon who show up in this chapter!
Cameron shut his eyes, listening to Trever’s beating heart. Even though Van wasn’t around to pull the strings anymore, the case between Trace and Cameron had dragged on. The man had somehow began to believe the lies he had been told and came at Cameron even harder. Though thousands of dollars later, and help from a good friend, Cameron had prevailed. “It’s finally over,” Cameron whispered into his boyfriend’s chest. “We won. Trace’s case was dropped.”
“Yes baby, finally.” Trever’s voice was low as he stroked his lover’s back. “This was a long time coming. Too long.” To think the pair had let a dispute of false claims and slander tear them apart. Cameron was sure that this fight had brought the two even closer than ever.
“Thank you for never giving up on me, even when I gave you a reason to,” Cameron muttered. “I fought you for so long when you were just trying to help. You could have walked away. No, you should have.”
“Never,” Trever said, placing a kiss atop Cameron’s head. “You mean so much to me. You’re the one who showed me it was stupid to stay in the life of crime I was headed down. You make me laugh with your jokes, you make my heart beat speed up when you flirt, and you always make me feel safe.”
“I make you feel that way?” Cameron asked. “For some reason I thought I’d never be the right guy for you. I had too much baggage, a broken guy behind all the fame.”
“We’re all a little broken,” Trever said. “Doesn’t mean we give up. We work together to fix it. Like this place. It’s got a lot of broken parts but we’re going to fix it up and make it the best it can be. A nice place to raise a family.”
“Our family,” Cameron said, enjoying the way the words tasted on his tongue. “You’re the best handyman I’ve ever met.”
