-If you end up not wanting to read that story because you didn't like how I wrote this one, please still try it out. I'm still learning as a writer, and still progressing.
-I just didn't try in this story but I definitely will in the AU.

Camille's POV

After the shift my over, I grabbed Cara, and we made our way over to her house. We stopped to get some fast food burgers though midway through the ride. We were both starved.

"I'm so excited to eat this!" I groaned carry the food bag over to the kitchen counter. "I haven't eaten anything all shift."

"That sucks," she laughed coming to the side of me. "I ate like an hour ago but I'm always hungry."

We both dived into our burgers. Nothing beats an old fashion greasy cheeseburger. "How were those old ladies that you were chit chatting with at the bar."

"Oh them? They were the life of the party. Honestly my new best friends," Cara said sarcastically.

"Um.. and what about me?" I joked. "I feel like I'm pretty special."

"You just don't have the sparkle that those ladies had."

We continued to joke around with each other while we ate the rest of the food. This is what I missed. Just being about to hang out with Cara, not having a care in the world. I'm glad I had this part of my life back.

"I know that recently all we've talking about are men, but I really need your opinion," Cara said
nervously. "What did you think about Liam?"

"Miss Cara Hart!" I yelled happily. "Do you actually have feelings for this guy!"

Cara blushed and buried her face in her face. I don't think I've ever seen her react this way before. "It's just he's so sweet and timid, and I need something like that in my life!"

"Well for your information, I think that he's a really great guy. And if you like them, then you should continue seeing him. You never know what might come out of it."

Don't I know that.

"I'm going to actually try with him," she confessed. "No one has made me feel this way in awhile."

"Well whatever happens I'm happy for you."

"Oh, and look what he got me!" Cara pulled her wrist up to my face and showed off a pink bracelet. Very simple but very elegant.

"Shit!" I said grabbed her wrist to feel the jewelry. "He definitely likes you back one hundred percent. That's got to be expensive!"

"I know right!" She laughed. "I finally know what it's like to be you. Getting all spoiled and stuff by a boyfriend."

My eyes widened. "Who said anything about me being spoiled?"

"Oh c'mon, Steve literally took you an a weekend getaway weeks into knowing you."

I laughed nervously at the memory. "If that's your definition of spoiled then okay."

Cara eyed me up and down noticing the change in my mood. "What just happened?"

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"You were so fine until I mentioned that weekend.. the weekend were you didn't talk to me at all," Cara took an intake of breath. "Cam what are you not telling me."

"What? Why would I be hiding?" She was took clever for her own good.

"The whole thing seems fishy to me," she stated. "You went with him and didn't respond to any of my messages, then all of a sudden did like nothing was wrong. Now when I bring that weekend up, you get all tense like you're remembering something."

"It was just a really good weekend that's all. Just reminiscing."

"Why the hell would you get tense about reminiscing?" This was started to feel less like a civil conversation, and more like an interrogation.

"I don't know Cara! Just let me be!"

"No! Not to be a bitch but I'm worried for you. I was actually starting to like Steve up until now. Now tell me, is he hurting you?"

I shook my head quickly. "He's doing anything but hurting me."

"But he hurts other people?"

I averted my gaze straight into Cara's eyes. "W-what?" I said nervously. How did she even get that statement to cross her mind.

"He gives off this vibe that he's some sort of sadist."

"Yeah well he doesn't hurt me"

"You never denied it about other people."

I was never good about lying to Cara. The only time I've ever been about to do it was when Steve was with me. But now that I'm alone, I don't know what's going to come out of my mouth.

"Why aren't you saying anything Camille? You're scaring me, do I need to call the police or something."

I grabbed Cara's phone away from her view. "No! Please don't call anyone. This is my issue, don't get yourself wrapped up in it!"

All she did was eye me with sympathy. "Please d-don't call the cops." My eyes started to water. All of the emotions were getting to hard to handle.

"Jesus Cam, I'm sorry," said Cara as she held me and walked us over to the couch so we could be more comfortable.

"I just love him, and it's not right but I do!" I sobbed.

I knew Cara wanted to say more, but she just held me and reassured me that everything was going to be alright.
