Chapter Thirty One - Lost.

A N N A

"So.. This is. Nice." Maya blurts out. I continue tapping away at my phone as Maya makes a fatal attempt at a conversation starter. "Some party this turned out to be." Lauryn ('il Boogie from X-Mob) whispers into my ear. "And whose fault is that?" I giggle back. "Yours." Lauryn (basic bitch) spits, "It was supposed to be an early birthday party with Cams closest friends and then, well, you turned up." I looked over to Cam whose face seemed to be a bright tone of red right now. "Is that right?" I say eying Cameron, "Don't worry, I won't be wasting any more of your precious time. See you at school." I say getting up and walking towards the door. "Anna!" Cam shouts running after me and grabbing hold of my arm. "Just, back off." I spit yanking my arm out of his grip. "Don't leave, I still need to-" He begins. "Apologise? I get that you're sorry but that doesn't excuse the fact that what you did to me, wait, have done to me, is both unforgettable and unforgivable. So in the meantime, stay away from me." I warn as I exit his house. I run over to my house and lock myself in my room, in attempt of forgetting everyone and everything.

I return to the living room and lift Lauryn (basic bitch) by her arm; grabbing her backpack and phone. "What are you doing?!" She shouts. "Accompanying you to the door; of which you will be exiting through." I say. "Leaving? But what about the party?" She says struggling. "It was getting stupid anyway, maybe you could throw one with yourself and the friends you have left." I state throwing her out of the door. "Cameron, think about this. The deal's over if you this happens, you really that inconsiderate?" She says. "I guess so." I say as I slam the door. "You okay bro?" Tyga says walking over to me and resting a hand on my shoulder. "Of course! Why wouldn't I be?" I say shining a fake smile. "You need to go apologise Cam." Lauryn ('il Boogie) says, "To Anna that is." "How? She hates my guts, man. There's no way of talking to her without me messing up." I sigh. "Well, then, don't talk. Sing." Maya interrupts. "What do you know Maya? She's a singer/songwriter, one wrong note and it all goes flying. Why'd you have to go bring her here anyway? Messed everything up." I scowl as I make my way out of the door. I need to get her trust back again, I need to talk to her. The past two weeks have been hell, I've been avoiding everyone at the Jessie set and seem to be getting no where with my grades at school. She's the only person who I had to impress and now she's gone; doesn't care about me whatsoever. I slowly practise what I'm going to say as I make my way up her porch steps.  I hesitantly knock on her door and am greeted by Kylie. Maybe not greeted as much.. More like glared at. "Anna doesn't want to speak to you right now. Or like ever." She says. "I know, which is why I came to  apologise." I say. "Last time I checked, that involves talking? Hm, shame you won't find out." She sighs. "Kylie, please. I've really messed up this time and it looks like she's no where near forgiving me. I need start somewhere with explaining what really happened. I've spent all my life with her and it would not fair for our friendship to end here and like this. She deserves better than me, I know, but I just want her to know that what happened between us was something special (AN: No, ew, I know what ya'll are thinking! Not like that. Funny 'cus my friend visualised that with her and Cam. I know, ew. She's going through tough times right now. #prayforMacksfriend lol) and I can't let it go. I love her and would never want to hurt her purposefully want to hurt her." I say. Kylie sighs heavily and scratches her temple. "She's up in her bedroom and Cameron?" She asks. I spin around. "Don't mess it up this time dude." She states raising her eyebrows. I nod and run up the stairs and come face to face with Anna's door. The chances of her letting me in  if I told her it was me are nil so I decide to walk in, even though I know that there will be consequences. Her head shoots towards and me and her facial expression changes. "Don't you ever give up?" She says. "Not for you." I say. She sighs attempting to push me out of her door. "Please listen to me." I say. "No." She says looking down, still trying to push me. "I need to talk to you." I insist. "Just leave Cameron!" She shouts as a tear rolls down her face. I look her deep in the eye and grab her by her shoulders. "I'm sorry." I simply say. "I think I've established that." She sniffs. "I never knew that I hurt you this much. If there was a way I could make it up to you I-" "Well there isn't, okay. Even if there was you'd spend years making it up to me for the amount of shit you've gotten yourself into." She says wiping her tears. "I know.." I say chuckling slightly, "Wait, what If you were to make a list of things for me to do which could regain me your trust?" "Are you serious? This isn't some high school musical film Cameron. The baseline is you lost my trust by doing the most stupidest things and it's up to you fix that. You really have a lot to make up to me but very little time to do it in." She says. "What do you mean?" I say furrowing my eyebrows. She begins fiddling with her ear as she looks down, "I've asked my family to move closer to my Nonna because she's going to die in a couple of weeks from her heart condition. I haven't met her yet so it would be a good time to do so.." I mumble. "And where does your nonna live?" I say. "I don't need to answer your questions! You can leave now." She shouts. "Anna.. Where does she live?" I say clenching my jaw. "Dubai." She whispers.

That's when it hit me that I had actually lost her.

Ohhh, is Anna leaving? Who'll be the main character if she does? I hate leaving it on cliffhangers because I really wanna tell ya'll what happens but you'll have to wait and see til Monday at the latest. Thank you for the reads and votes, it means a lot that you guys are enjoying the book.
