Camryn Quinn is finally getting what she wants...sort of. Moving into a dorm and away from her not so supportive father is a good first step, but like everything with him, it comes with strings. She must attend the college of his choosing for at lea...

I type in the code to unlock the front door to my house a few blocks from campus. I don't bother to see if any of the guys are home or still awake. Instead I quickly take the stairs two at a time and head straight for my room. It's only at the top of the stairs that I can hear Anderson in his room with a guest so I close my door and turn music on a little louder than normal.
I kick my boots off and flop down on my bed. After a few seconds I attempt to readjust, to find a more comfortable position. It doesn't work.
I can't stop the thoughts.The whole way to her dorm, and then the entire walk here. I pull my phone out of my pocket and pull up an old message thread. My fingers only briefly hover over the screen before I type out the message.
Me: Offer still good?
Cal: Of course
Me: Im in
My stomach clenches as I send it. I don't have a choice. All I can see is the look of my mom's face. It's all I've seen for the last few hours, for days. Almost like the image is taunting me, asking what the hell I'm going to do about all this.
A solution was placed in my lap. I'd be an idiot not to take it.
Helping Cal wouldn't have been my first choice, but after running into Camryn tonight it feels easier. She's nothing like how her brother described her. Even over a span of hours together, no issues arose. So either Cal just doesn't know her, or he knew I wouldn't take the money outright.
At least now I know Camryn won't be an issue. If updates are what Cal wants, then that's what he'll get. I have a feeling I could tell him she has gone bat-shit crazy and he wouldn't even confirm it.
After tonight I don't see it being a reality. She's actually the one who changed my mind.
You can't fail as long as you're trying.
I couldn't help but feel like I haven't been trying hard enough to actually find a way to help. I was letting my anger get in the way. So taking Cal up on his offer is me trying.
Now I will have enough money to cover whatever insurance won't. Now my mom, and my grandparents won't have to worry about scrapping or borrowing. They can focus on the real important thing. They can help her get better. She has to get better.
