After Cameron's, and my call, she sent me pictures of her with Reed, they looked happy. Then she sent me a picture of their texts from 2014. Two years ago today, she had a screenshot of hers, and Reeds conversation.
The conversation
Reed, I'm sorry, I'm not the type of girl for relationships yet, I just don't want to be held down yet
Cameron, I love you
I'm sorry Reed, I know you love me, but I don't love you. It's not the right time for me
I loved you Cameron
I'm going to hurt everyone you love.
Wow, just wow, this was just one of the screenshots that Cameron sent where Reed was acting crazy. I put my phone down, and cried.
For a moment there, I actually thought she loved me for me, but she just wanted to hurt my best friend. I stayed up all night, and when I went into the kitchen sleepless the next day my mom screamed sarcastically.
"Oh my goodness Jade!! You look like a zombie!" My mom said laughing
"Reed probably kept her up all night." My aunt added.
I just smiled painfully, and went with it. I went back to my room, and got dressed. I got a notification from Reed, and I held back my tears as I checked.
"How did you sleep love, I was thinking of you all night, I miss you so much, I'm going to fuck you as soon as you come back."
I didn't reply, and she kept spamming.
"Hey Jade?"
"Jade?"
"Jade?"
"Hello"
"Jade"
"Fuck Jade answer"
I let out silent sobs in my hands as she sent over 30 texts before she spam called me 15 times. I started to understand what Cameron said when she said she's possessive.
I turned my phone off, threw it in my bag, wiped my tears, and covered my read swollen eyes with makeup.
I gave my aunt a hug, and a kiss on the cheek before we left. We got in my moms car, and she looked at me intently.
"What's wrong?" She asked, it wasn't even a question though. It was just a statement, or demand.
"Nothing-"
"Jade sweetie, I've been your mom for 17 years, I know when my kid isn't okay."
"There is something wrong mommy, I'm just not ready to talk about it yet."
She gave me a kiss, and started the car.
"Okay, tell me whenever your ready, tomorrow, next month, or next year. Just tell me if you need something.
I gave her a kiss on the cheek, and got comfortable, then slept, I needed it.
I woke up a hour in, and remembered.
"Hey mom? Can you drop me off at Cameron's house?"
"Yeah sure honey, want to hang out with your bestie?"
"Mom stop saying that!" I said laughing
She dropped me off at Cameron's house, and I gave her a kiss before I went up to her door. Cameron opened it before I got there, and when she closed the door, I instantly broke down in her arms. She wrapped her arms around me as I cried, and we stood there for a long time. I calmed down, and she broke the hug.
"Hey let's sit down"
She wrapped her arm around me, and we walked to her couch.
" I just thought she actually liked me, loved me."
"Me too, I thought you guys were cute, but I couldn't get her out of my mind, so I just looked back, and saw this."
I wrapped my arms around her again, and cried more. I felt used, and sad.
About 15 minutes later of embracing each other, and me crying we heard banging in her door. We we're just going to ignore it again when they knocked again. Cameron reluctantly got up, and when she opened the door, someone pushed past her, and to me.
"Why aren't you answering my calls Jade!"
I instantly saddened to her voice, and face, her beautiful face.
"How did you find her?" Cameron asked closing, and locking the door.
"Her mom, anyways Jade!"
"Can't you see you've done enough Reed!" Cameron yelled at her walking over to us.
Reed finally saw my tears rolling down my face, and came in for a hug. I put my hand up against her chest, and shook my head getting more, and more emotional.
"What... Cameron you told her didn't you?"
"Yes!"
"Why?!"
"Because I care about her! She's like a sister to me Reed, and why wouldn't I, you're crazy!"
"That was years ago!" She said turning to me, and placed a hand on my cheek. "I love you Jade! Please"
"Is it true? Did you just pretend to love me to hurt her?" I said weakly lifting my hand over to Cameron.
"No- kind of Jade I never-"
"Let me guess Reed, you never meant to hurt her"
"Yes, because I never meant to!" She turned to me, and placed her other hand on my shoulder. "Yes at first it was to get back at Cameron, but now that I know you... I love you so fucking much. I loved you, and didn't even know it at first. Every time I saw your face, touched you, or even hear your voice, I got this feeling in me, a feeling I never felt!"
"Reed"
"I love you Jade! I've loved you, please, jus-"
"Reed!" Cameron said again seeing how I was literally shaking. "Reed look at her, haven't you done enough? She's fucking shaking!"
Reed looked at me with a sympathetic, hopefully face.
"Please Jade."
I really didn't know what to say, I saw Cameron's proof, but after Reeds confession, I couldn't tell.
"Look at me Jade" she said grabbing my face, and turning it to her.
She brought my face up to hers, and I could feel her heavy breathing on my face.
"I love you." She gave me a soft kiss, and let go.
Cameron tapped her arm, and Reed walked out with her head down. Cameron walked over to me, and we sat down.
"I mean she sounded like she was telling you the truth Jade." She said. That was something I love about Cameron, no matter how much she hated, or loved someone, she shared what she think truthfully.
"I don't know!" I said standing up, and pacing around her living room.
"I'm with you 100% on your choice, but I think she actually loves you Jade, just don't know."
"I know Cameron I just ugh!" I walked out of her house, and to the front.
Gladly she didn't leave yet, and I got in her car. It caught her off guard, and I pulled her in for a kiss. She instantly pulled me in deeper.
"I love you too." I said, and hugged her tight
She wrapped her arms around me tighter.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you, I just really love you so much, I never meant for it to be like this." She was softly crying into my shoulder, and I pulled from the hug.
I placed my hand on her beautiful face, and wiped her tears with my thumbs before kissing her again.
"It's okay, I would do the same, especially for you." She hugged me again softly, and wiped her tears away before she started driving.
"Don't tell anyone you saw me like this." And she was back to her demanding self.
"I won't I promise" I said
"Let's go to the lake"
