3 days later {the boys are home now}

Cameron's p.o.v.

it's been a while since I've seen her. my phone still occasionally rings & it'll be her calling, i almost pick up every time, but i stop myself because i wouldn't know what to say.

I've blocked her on Twitter. I've blocked her from my life. my heart sits, shattered on my floor. the pieces scattered all through out my room. i need to sweep them up, maybe into a pile or something. it'll take a while to put them back together.

I'm okay. i feel different, but okay. it's Saturday today, so i figure I'll go out. i throw on some clean clothes, fix my hair and brush my teeth.
i walk down the stairs to see Johnson asleep on the couch and Nash on his phone in the kitchen.

"hey, what's up?" i say to him, walking to the fridge.
"not much. how bout you?" he looks up from his phone to look at me.
"nothing, really. i was hoping to go out & do something." i set my phone on the counter and hop up next to it.
"let's go do something. it's been a while since we've had a cash day." he smiles a bit, looking at me for a response.
"alright, let's go" i walk out of the kitchen with Nash trailing behind me.

minutes later, we pull into a parking lot of our local mall. "what do we do if we get noticed?" i ask Nash, looking into his deep blue eyes.
"take a few pictures and move on, i guess." he answers with a small shrug.
we get out of the car, and head towards the mall.

"Cameron!!! NASH!" i hear girls screaming our names, i mentally roll my eyes, not really wanting to be bothered; but i put on a fake smile and turn around to greet the girls.

30 minutes later, the girls are finally gone and it's just Nash and me. we exchange looks, before walking once again. we make a turn into Hollister, looking at shirts. i pick out two, and turn around to find Nash, but when i turn around, who i see, is not Nash.

"Audrey?" the name leaves my lips faster than i can process the girl standing in front of me. i can tell she's been crying, her eyes are a little bloodshot, but not too bad.
"Cam..." i see the tears fill her eyes and i feel my throat start to get tight. every thought leaves my mind, and my brain is consumed with memories of her. her. the love of my life. the girl i gave everything to.
i see her eyes scan me, looking me up and down, i miss her doing this to me. looking at me to see what I'm wearing, she'd look me up and down and smile lightly, as if confirming that i look okay.

"Cameron?" Nash peaks his head around a corner, he soon sees Audrey and his eyes widen. i hear him mumble, "what the fuck?" and he fully rounds the corner.
"Audrey...what, how-i-" i stammer, fighting for the right words to say. i give myself a second longer to think. "what the fuck?" is all the comes out, i mentally punch myself for coming off so aloof.
"i just, i saw girls tweeting pictures of yall, and i saw one of yall walking down here and i knew you'd be here. this was always your favorite store. you used to take me here every time we came to the mall..." tears roll down her cheek and i feel my chest get tight. "I've missed you, Cam. I've called you, I've tried to tweet you, I've texted you, I've done everything to try and make things right. i don't know what else to do. I've been losing my mind, going completely insane without you. you were like the glue that kept my sanity intact, but without you...im nothing. im going mad, and you don't even care." her voice is shaky, as well as her hands. her last words slap me in the face. "you don't even care" anger builds up inside me. the audacity she has is mind blowing.
"don't care? i don't care? do you have any idea how hard it's been for me? you cheated on me, then went to live with the guy! how could you possibly think that you're going mad, if anything, i am going mad. don't you dare come to me, telling me I've hurt you, and im the bad guy, when you put me through hell." i look into her bloodshot brown eyes, that are still filled with tears, and her face is soaked.
"i have my own apartment now, i started my life over. im changing everything, improving myself, please Cameron, give me a second chance. we could start over from the beginning, we could be just friends if you want, anything. i just need you in my life." her words fly at me, and im doing my best to take every single one to my heart.
"okay, just friends." once again, the words leave my lips before i process anything.
"thank you" a small smile forms on her perfectly sculpted lips.
i give her a small nod before turning towards the register, checking out with Nash, then leaving my friend behind.

Nash's p.o.v.

when Cameron and i leave Hollister, i hear Cam stifle a sob, i put my arm around him, trying to comfort my broken best friend.
when Cameron gets in the car, he buckles his seat belt and sits, staring out the window. when he beats his fists against the steering wheel, i nearly shit my pants. he just sits hitting the steering wheel, screaming and crying. all i can do is watch, if i intervene, he might hit me.
after a good 30 seconds he rests his head against the steering wheel, sobbing. i rub his back, doing anything i can think of to calm him down, "im gonna call emma." i say, getting out of the car.
it rings twice before i hear her pick up.
"hi" her voice is tired, but soft.
"hey, can you come to the mall? we had a run in with Audrey & Cam is sobbing in the car & i don't know what to do. i need your help." the words tumble out of my mouth and everything feels like it's moving in extra fast motion.

minutes later, i see Emma's car approaching us. her eyes are worried, and her smile is small and faint.

this is going to be a long day.
