Player: Chapter 22

**Beth's POV**
I honestly don't know what to think. Memories of me and Matt. The boys not wanting me to leave. Cameron kissed me. What should I do? I don't wanna leave everyone behind. What should I do? What should I do...

I thought as I sat in me and Matt's used to share room. I looked at all the clothes sitting in front of me waiting to be tossed into my suitcase. I sighed and leaned over and grabbed a shirt from the floor. I unfolded it and looked at it.

"Oh Matt. If only you were here." I said smelling his cologne he'd use to wear.

"I only wear it to make you sniff me." He'd always used to say. I gently placed Matt's old favourite shirt in my bag and zipped it up. I pushed it away and dragged my purse to me and looked through it to see if I had everything ready to go.

"Knock, knock?" I heard. I looked up and saw Cameron leaning up against the doorway looking at me. I have him a sly smile and nodded my head for him to come in. He walked to me as I climbed on the bed and sat down. I kicked my purse away as he sat down next to me.

"Are you sure you wanna leave?" He asked. I knew he'd asked. He's been bugging about it for weeks. But in my honest opinion. I just need a break for everything. Let alone that I'm going back home. Where first met Matt.

"Yeah. I just need a little break. You know?" I said nodding my head. He shook his head and grabbed my hands.

"Beth. Out of all the places in the world, you just had to pick Virginia? You know damn well it's where you and Matt first met. And that there's so many memories there."

"I know. I just wanna visit home. And besides. I haven't seen my parents since the accident. And I'm sure Ray would like to see me."

"What? Why Ray why him?! He's the one who hurt you!"

"How did you know?"

"I uh.-"

"Matt told you. After I told him to keep it between me and him. Cameron. Just. Leave me alone for a few days-"

"But Beth. What if I-"

"No buts. I'll be okay. You'll see me once again. I'm not leaving for good." I said. He looked down. I raised his head with my finger and spoke.

"I'll be back. I promise. And Ray will never hurt me. If he does-"

"You better let me beat him. You don't-"

"Cameron. I'll be fine. He won't touch me." I said. Cameron nodded his head. I knelt down in front of him and stared in his eyes. They were full of hurt. The they changed. His eyes sparked up with just a flash. He cupped my cheeks in his hands and pulled me in for a kiss. I didn't try pulling away. Nor did I try smacking him. I let him. I don't know why. I slowly closed my eyes and grabbed his face. He pulled me up on his lap and tangled his fingers through my hair. One hand was tangled in my hair, the other was pulling on my waist as if he's begging of more.

We made out for a few more seconds until Carter walked in.

"Yo. Have you seen Cam- oh! Uh.. Sorry. Uh sorry." He closed the door quick and walked away I'm assuming. I looked at Cameron and climbed off of him. I sat down next to him and pushed some of my hair behind my ear.

"Um. I- I gotta go Cameron." I said looking at my phone. I got up and grabbed my suitcase and purse and walked out the room leaving Cameron alone.

I made it down the stairs and saw almost everyone staring.

"What? What I do?" I asked. Carter walked up to me and rested his hands on my shoulders.

"We're gonna miss you." He says. I looked down feeling guilty.
