Kaidyn finds me and catches up to me as I'm walking to the parking lot of the school. She tells me about all her classes and who's all in them. She tells me that Harrys ex "play thing" Shae is in one of her classes. I'm so thankful that she isn't in one of mine.
When we reach Harrys car, they aren't there yet. When I turn back to face the school, I see Harry and Liam walking towards us. Liam smiles at us and then turns to Harry and his smile fades. Harry doesn't look happy at all. He's staring at the ground as he walks with a scowl on his face. I kind of expected this reaction from him. I just hope he can get over it.
Once they reach us Harry walks straight passed me and unlocks the door to the drivers seat. My heart sinks to the pit of my stomach and I feel my eyes pricking with tears threatening to spill over. How can he be this mad at me? Doesn't he trust me? Or maybe it's my fault for being so kind and thinking of Cameron and his situation, when he clearly doesn't deserve it. But that's just who I am. I can't just throw someone out who has no other options.
"Liam? Maybe you should sit in front with him." I whisper to him once Harry slams the door shut. Liam nods and gives me a look of understanding, and walks around to the passenger seat.
Kaidyn climbs in to the backseat with me and doesn't say a word. She knows exactly what's going on. It was her after all who told Harry I had something important to tell him. I wanted to do it in my own time so that I had time to think and explain myself better. It wasn't her place to do that to me.
The car ride is agonisingly silent, despite the low set music playing on the radio to make the tension less quiet and awkward.
Finally we arrive home. Kaidyn is the first to get out and kisses Liam once from the open window. I get out after her and make my way to the door.
"Ariel!" I hear Harry call for me just as my hand touches the door knob. I turn to face him slowly. He's standing behind the opened car door staring at me.
"Yeah?" I finally say.
"We're going to talk later. I'll be over after my shift. Okay?" He says staring blankly at me.
"Um, yeah. Okay."
He climbs back into his seat and drives away without another word. I feel sick. Literally sick. Not the sick like you're afraid, but the sick that you feel in the pit of your stomach with the chills. He had absolute no emotion when he said that. He ignored me for the rest of the day. I thought he wasn't this mad at me when I told him. He sat with me at lunch, but he didn't say anything to me then either. Maybe he had time to over think it all day. Now I'm over thinking it. Shit.
When I get inside, Kaidyn is sitting on the couch watching TV. Cameron is no where to be seen, but I'm sure he'll present himself sooner rather than later. Or maybe he went out.
"Have you seen Cam?" I ask Kaidyn.
"No I haven't. Maybe he went out for a late lunch?"
I make my way to my room to put my school books away when I find Cameron passed out on my bed. On my bed! What the fuck?!
"Cameron!" I shout from the doorway.
He rustles around before turning on his side and looking at me. "Shit. Sorry. I can explain." He says in a sleepy voice. Not moving from the bed.
"Okay then please explain! Because I've had a really bad day on your account!" I shout at him and walk to sit on the edge of my bed. He sits up and rubs his eyes, revealing his bare chest. Why is he always naked? I roll my eyes.
"Why? What happened?"
"Oh don't act like you don't know." I roll my eyes once more.
"You told him? I take it he didn't take it so well." He smirks but quickly removes it as I glare at him.
"No Cam. He didn't take it well. I know if you were in his shoes right now, you would have killed the guy by now."
"Yeah probably." He nods in agreement.
"I'm honestly surprised Harry didn't storm in here and beat the shit out of you yet." I confess.
"Yeah me too. He looks like that type." Cam says with honesty and wide eyes. I know he honestly thinks that of Harry, because of the way he looks. It's probably the tattoos and the rippling muscles...
I quickly push that out of my mind because the thought of losing all of that pains me. I love his tattoos and his... rippling... muscles. Those beautiful green eyes and his messy curly locks.
"Anyways, why are you in here? Asleep in my bed? What were you doing?" I try to say calmly.
"I just... Well honestly Ariel I was just curious. I missed you a whole fucking lot and I finally have you back in my life. I wanted to see if you still keep things the same way. Which you do by the way. Like exactly." He grins at me.
"Okay then why did you fall asleep in my bed?! You have one of your own!" I shout once again.
"You always smelled nice. I know it sounds creepy but I wanted to lay down, just close my eyes and reminisce." He looks down at his hands and plays with his thumbs.
I stay silent and say nothing. I feel bad for him. I almost feel guilty even though I have nothing to feel guilty about. Maybe yelling at him was a bit much.
"Anyways, you don't have to say anything. Tell me what happened. I'm still a good listener. I may not give the best advice or have many helpful things to say afterwards, but I still listen." He babbles, pleading with me.
I chuckle lightly at his pleading. "Okay well, Kaidyn told him that I had something important to tell him. I don't like that she did that beacuse I wanted time to think about how to say everything and explain things better. So I told him in only 5 minutes. Which wasn't enough time, obviously because he ignored me for the rest of the day." I tell him.
"Sorry. I'm also sorry to say that I feel a little happy about all this. Not happy that you're unhappy of course." He says holding his hands up in surrender.
I should be mad at what he just said but I still find myself smiling.
"Ah, there we go. There's a smile." Cameron says and pokes my cheek.
"Shut up. Harry will be here around 7 by the way. So fair warning. So if you're going to be here, wear a shirt please. And pants. Just please wear some clothes if you're going to show your presencce around him." I plead with him.
He lets out a loud laugh and nods his head in agreement and holds a thumb up to show that he understands what I just said.
"Great. Now get out of my room." I say forcefully and demanding.
"Okay I will." He says with sass and walks out of my room.
I giggle when he playfully shakes his butt in my doorway before walking out.
