Cameron's entire body was trembling, hands, leg. He decided to take a shower while I called the police to calm down a little, "no, he can't remember what happened, he just got home covered in blood, ok thank you" I end the call and go over to the bathroom that he was showering in, I lightly knock on the door "baby? Are you ok in there?" I ask "yeah, I'm a little calmer now," he says turning off the water, I hear him move a bit, probably grabbing a towel, and he opens the door, his hands were still shaking "hey... it's ok now" I grab his hands and hold them tightly but not super tight just a comforting squeeze, "the police are bringing a paramedic to give you a check-up, and see if you have a concussion," I state, he nods "I'll get dressed" I let go of his hands, "Cam..." he hums and looks into my eyes, it made me nervous I want to say it, why can't I? I love him I know I do, why hasn't he said it? "Never mind..." he nods and walks off to the closet.

The doorbell rings, "they're already here?" I question and go downstairs, I open the door to two policemen and a woman, who is the paramedic, "are you Cameron?" One of them asked, "no, I'm the one that called, Cameron is changing he'll be down soon" I say let them in, "I'm John, this is my partner Jason and the paramedic is Jennifer" he said introduces, "we know what happened to Cameron" Jason says seriously, "what happened?" Cam asks walking down the stairs, "do you own a black Mercedes?" Jason asks him, Cameron nods looking quite confused, "well you hit a deer," he said, I gasp softly, "like a deer, or those female ones?" I ask "a male deer, big one too, I'm surprised you're not severely injured, a big guy like him would've survived, but he definitely dead," the paramedic says, "you most likely were unconscious by the blunt force of your car but I'm not sure what made you blackout," she notes "if you could sit down I'll just give you a check-up" Cameron nods and I notice him look her up and down, I'm not sure why, but it did make me jealous.

I watch from the staircase as they question Cameron, basically giving him a memory test, and as Jennifer did her tests on him, they were very talkative after the police left, a little too talkative to say, they were laughing and smiling she was probably flirting, it made me mad and tense, Cameron didn't even notice I was there the whole time, I headed upstairs and go to take a cold shower and release my tension, I'm just overreacting as Mason did, he just being nice.

I get out of my shower and I change clothes, since I was calm now I head back downstairs and see Cameron talking to her at the door, "are you sure your roommate won't mind?" She bites her bottom lip, I feel my breathing heavily as I feel anger fill up my body, "no of course not, he'll be asleep," I could hear his smirk, "alright" she smiles "I'll see you tonight hottie" "see ya" he watches her leave then closes the door I cross my arms and look at him sternly as he turns around, "Hey babe," he says casually like I didn't see what happen, "seriously?" "What? What happened?" He's playing dumb with me right now there's no way, "you were just flirting with that her" I state "no I wasn't" "Cameron I saw you, I'm not fucking stupid" I begin to get irritated, "Eric calm down" he chuckles grabbing my shoulder softly, but I push him back, "I wasn't flirting with her," "really? Then why did she ask if your "roommate" would mind if she came over tonight?" I was getting so mad I felt like I was gonna cry, he stayed silent after that, probably trying to think of an excuse, "I... probably blacked out again" he went to touch me again but I wasn't having it, "Fucking bullshit!" I push him away again as tears form in my eyes, "Eric. You don't need to cry I was just being nice" "oh yeah being "nice" by planning on fucking her while I'm sleeping," I walk past him grabbing my keys and going to slip my shoes on, as tears slip down my cheeks, until he grabs my wrist, "what are you doing?" He asks grabbing my wrist tightly, "I'm leaving," I say trying to loosen my wrist, then he grabs my other one, "no, you're not." He looks me in my teary eyes, he almost looked crazy, it scared me quite a bit "let me go, Cameron" "it's late, where would you even go?" He squeezes tighter, "far away from you!" I exclaim while tears streamed down my cheek, Cameron had let go of my wrists but then he slapped me hard across my face, I gasp and place my hand on my stinging red cheek, "Eric... baby..." he places his hand on mine trying to comfort me, "don't touch me" I didn't even look at him, I pick up my shoes "Eric, I'm sorry, please" he follows me into the garage, "baby... I'm so so sorry, please, don't leave, I didn't mean to hit you I swear" I ignore him and go into my car, as I start the car he leans on one of his and sighs, he knew he messed up, we've been dating for almost 3 months and things are already going to shit, I should've listened once a cheater always a cheater.

~Le next day~

I head into work after sleeping in my car for the rest of the night, once I go inside I see Tobi at the register her face lights up and she smiles at me, I smile back softly and go to the staff room where Bordie had my new uniform ready I slip it on and go to the front where Jay and Tobi, were attending people.

I haven't seen or talked to Jay since he got stabbed, I feel bad because it was my fault, If I just left Cameron after finding out about Poki, none of this would have happened, I would have my shitty apartment, a good friendship with Jay, and I'd have a free single life without a boyfriend of 3 mouths who tried to cheat and hit me.

"Hey Jay.. how are you?" I ask quietly, "I'm fine" he responds continuing to make his order, "it's good to see that Cameron finally let you come back to work" Tobi chuckles, "he didn't, I left," I say look down and fiddle with my thumb, "what happened? Is everything ok?" She asks, "it's nothing.." I go to attend a customer, Tobi knew something was wrong, she always knows.

During work, Tobi was worried about finding out what happened, and I kept telling her "I'm fine" and "nothing happened" but I really don't want to think about it right now. The bell rings while I was cleaning off the counter, I look up and see Cameron in his usual black with a white suit, he sees me and I clear my throat and told Tobi was going on my break and head to the back room, as I walk back I see Cameron frown and sigh, I sit down in the kitchen and my hold my head in my hands, "hey Cameron" Tobi says, "Hey, could I talk to Eric real quick?" Cam requests "is he mad at you?" I could hear them from here but I'm also right behind the register, "yeah, I fucked up" he sighs, "well if he's mad at you, no, he needs his space, when he's ready to talk to you he will" she sasses a little, "can you at least tell him to come home?" "Depends are you going to tell me what you did" Cameron sighs, "I-I fucked up, that's it" "well clearly you're ashamed of it, I'm Eric's bestfriend, I encouraged him to become your sugar baby and you fucked up when you didn't tell him about Poki" she states, it is somewhat true, "I'm his boyfriend-"soon to be ex," she says lower, I smile Tobi really cares "alright fine" Cameron starts talking lower, "Eric caught this girl flirting with me and he thought I was flirting back because she said she was coming over tonight, and well called Eric my roommate, so I didn't say anything about it and let her leave, but I wasn't going to do anything with her, she gave me her number and I was going to make up an excuse so she'd leave me alone" he explains, I frown how do I know that's the truth, "why didn't you tell her Eric was your boyfriend?" "I don't know.." he responds, "you're so fucking stupid," she says, I wanted to go back out there but I can't look at his face right now, "what else happened?" "I was trying to tell him I wasn't cheating, but then he started to leave and I panicked and grabbed him but I knew I was only scaring him so I let him go but then.." he pauses "I hit him" his voice saddens and he sighs again, "what the hell? Why?" She asks, "I didn't mean to, it was unintentional I wanted to explain it to him but I didn't want him to leave, so out of panic and being angry with myself, I slapped him," he says placing something down, "well shit, so he slept in his car? I'll talk to him but you have to make it up to him," she says, I sigh and got up, "thank you" he says, "yeah, no problem, I should check up on him" Tobi says, "yeah see ya" he says I hear his footsteps fade away, then the doorbell jingles, Tobi walks into the kitchen and sees me, "hey... Cameron told me what happened" she said, "I know, I heard you guys" I state "so you know he didn't mean to hurt you, or even wanted to flirt with that girl," she says, "we don't know if that's the truth, he lied once... he's probably lying now," I say "true... about the girl part but the part when..." she got closer to me "he hit you, he really didn't mean to" I exhale exhausted, "just go back and talk to him" I sigh, "fine.." I agree and start taking someone's order.

I don't know if I want to go back, I just feel like I'm being lied to, but the only to know is if I go there. I hate that a part of me still wants him and loves him, why won't this feeling go away? How can I be so angry and so in love at the same time, I hate myself for constantly thinking about him, I sigh and slouch when my shift ends, "alright I'm out," I tell Tobi and Jay, they nod and Tobi gives a small smile trying to comfort me but it didn't really help.
