Cam's P.O.V

Allison and I haven't had a proper conversation without our voices being raised since Jasmine's birthday.

For the past 5 days, we have been arguing back and forth even over the littlest things. We both tried approaching the other as calmly as possible but everything suddenly turns into a war.

Today was one of those days.

I really didn't feel like arguing with her because today was one of my bad days and I wasn't in the mood.

But for her, she decides it would be great to start arguing now.

She knocked on my door today and when I opened it, she grabbed me by my neck and pulled me in for a kiss. Except, I didn't feel a spark.

I pulled away and looked at her with furrowed eyebrows.

"What was that for?" I asked, trying to catch my breath. She looks at me with a confused expression, "Well, we've been arguing since Jasmine's birthday, and I," she pauses, "I'm just trying to show you how much I love you," she adds, smiling at me.

I wanted to believe her, but I was getting a feeling that she was just doing this for the hell of it.

My eyes shifted from her to the driveway, where Ella stood. She was holding a basket filled with... fruits? The expression on her face made it clear that she was slightly uncomfortable. I moved away from Allison and walked towards Ella, hugging her.

"Hey, El. What's this?" I asked as we pulled apart. She shrugs, "Mom wanted me to give this to your mom and she wanted me to tell her that they should catch up some time soon," she explains, smiling at me.

I looked back over to where Allison was standing and she had her arms crossed while tapping her foot on the concrete ground, looking as impatient as ever.

"Well, uh, I better get going. Wouldn't want Ms. Bitchy-Pants over there to be more impatient," Ella says, emphasizing "Ms. Bitchy-Pants," and saying it loud enough for Allison to hear while handing me the fruit basket before walking away. I smirked slightly and turned around, walking back up to the door.

Allison was glaring at me while we walked inside the house and she plopped down on the couch with her arms crossed like a child.

I went into the kitchen to leave the fruit basket on the counter and walked into the living room.

Her attitude was driving me crazy. I don't think I could last any longer with her.

"Okay, what's up with the attitude, Alli?" I asked, sighing and looking at her with raised eyebrows. She rolled her eyes and stood up, "What's up with you and Ella? Why do you always look at her like you're so in love but never do that to me? Cam, am I not good enough for you?" She asks, her eyes getting teary.

"I do love you!" I say and she looks away from me for a few seconds then back at me, "I don't believe a word you're saying." She says and sighs.

"Now," she starts, "Do you love Ella?" She asks, causing me to look at her with wide eyes.

"What-?" I start but I got cut off, "Don't play dumb. Answer me honestly, Cameron. I need to know."

I guess there was no going back, I had to admit I loved Ella.

I sighed, looking at Allison, "You want me to be honest, right?" I asked and she nodded, "Then, yeah. I do love Ella." I say and her eyes were filled with tears as one falls, after another and another.

She hastily wipes her tears and sniffles, "Then go get her," is all she says before grabbing her bag and leaving my house, slamming the door. My head was hanging, but I wasn't even upset.

There was a slight smirk on my face as I looked at the door with my hands in the pockets of my sweats.

I was just standing there smiling until I grabbed my phone and texted Jack and Aaron.

"Guys, I have some news to tell you"
