So Much For My Happy Ending Part Three

My phone starts to vibrate in my hand, it's a number I don't recognize. I press the answer call button with trembling fingers. My heart is pounding so hard.

"I'm sorry baby, I gave Shawn his phone back and he accidentally hung up." Cameron tells me and just like that I feel relief flood through my body. He didn't break his promise. "I'm on my fucking way baby. Don't hang up, keep talking to me."

"I've missed you so fucking much, Cameron. Why did you reject me?"I ask him softly. I pull my sweatpants back on and pull my hoodie over my head. I head downstairs and open the door, it's pouring outside but I don't care. I sit down on the front steps to wait for him, I don't care that the rain is cold and I'm getting wet. I close my eyes and concentrate on Cameron's voice.

The feeling is still there, threatening to overwhelm me, but the promise that Cameron is on his way to get me keeps it at bay.

"I'll tell you everything when I pick you up, okay baby?" He says and I can hear the sounds of traffic as he drives towards me. How does he know where I live? Well, I guess he must have seen my address on my medical records.

"What are you feeling, talk to me Nash," Cameron says after I'm quiet for a while.

"I... I still feel it, like I have to cut but... not as bad as before. It was overwhelming before, the only thing that's keeping it down is that you're coming to get me," I confess softly to him.

Cameron lets out a ragged breath and I wonder why he's so affected by me. All I saw during our last session was sympathy, there was nothing else. He sounds so worried about me, not just as my former psychiatrist but there's something else there. Something that makes hope bloom in my heart. I don't know why I would put myself through this again, what if he changes his mind and kicks me to the curb again?

I'm not sure if I can stand it for a second time.

A car pulls up in front of my house and my heart starts pounding. I stand up, is it him? I see Cameron get out of the car and he jogs up to me. I can't look away from him, I don't want to look anywhere else.

My heart threatens to burst out of my chest as he stops in front of me. His eyes search mine.

"Have you been waiting out here for me, baby? You're soaking wet," he says softly and I nod at him. The rain doesn't bother me all I care about is the man that is standing right here in front of me. I raise my hand to his cheek and his eyes flutter shut as I touch him gently. I step closer and press my lips against his in a slow kiss. I have been waiting for this moment for months. I thought I was never going to be able to see him again, to feel him again. to kiss him again. I'm so grateful for this moment.

"Let's go," he says and he pulls away. He grabs my hand and leads me to his car. I get in without protest and send a text to my mom letting her know I'm sleeping over a friends house. I put my phone away and look at Cameron as he drives.

"Why were you so mean?" I ask him quietly, trying to figure out how he could cut me off so abruptly and then act like he's needed me all along.

He sighs softly and we arrive to a condo building that's not far from where I live. If he lives here I'm going to be so pissed, I pass by this building all the time. He was so close to me, yet so far away. We get out and I follow him to his condo. I'm shivering because I'm cold now, I probably shouldn't have sat in the rain but I want to wait for him outside.

We enter his warm condo, it's honestly beautiful and he leads me to his bathroom. He helps me get undressed, luckily my boxers are not wet. He undresses as well all the way down to his briefs and leads me to his bed. It's huge and it's comfortable. I lie down and he lies down next to me. He pulls me close, our faces are inches apart. He brushes his lips against mine.
