My Only Hope

Chapter 21

I woke up to my phone ringing.
L- hello?
C- dude!! Meeting with Lisa at 10 remember?? You have 20 minuets!
L- oh my god okay I'll be at your car in 10.
I hang up and frantically run to my closet.
I throw on a stripped shirt and pleather pants and combat boots. I brush my teeth and hair and head out the door.
"Sorry I overslept" I say jumping in the car and we take off.
"It's fine we should get there right on time" he says.
"So what is this whole thing going to be about?" I ask
"I think it's a meeting on what we want to do for fall" he says.
"Oh okay"
We get to the office and hurry inside.
We sit at a table and this was my first meeting since I joined so I'm glad I had cameron looking out for me.
We sat down with Lisa the photographer and a few people I didn't know.
"Hey Donny, John" cam says to the guys I don't know.
"These are our guest models they come in every few months to do a big photoshoot" Lisa says.
"I'm donny" a blonde tall guy with green eyes says to me. "I'm John" a guy with curly brunette hair and blue eyes says to me.
"I'm lilly" I smile and sit back.
"Lilly joined us a few months ago" Lisa tells the two guys.
"So fall is coming up which means a lot of new clothes, we want to do a group shoot, and we need to update contracts" she says
We get papers and discuss what shoots we will be doing.
After about 20 Minuets we had a break before a few more business people showed up.
"Hey those guys are complete douches, so if they give you a problem let me know." Cam whispers to me and the guys walk over.
"So your the new girl everyone's talking about?" John says
"Uh I guess" I say
"All the girls from where we live are jealous" Donny says.
"Of me?" I laugh.
"Yeah, I mean I see why" Donny winks before they walk away.
"I'll be back" cameron says.
"Um okay." I say and he walks off
*camerons pov*
"Hey guys" I fake smile at Donny and John. They were my co- workers so I had to be nice to them.
"Hey, dude why didn't you tell us about her?" Donny asks.
"Why would I need to?" I ask
"Because she's hot" he says and I clench my fists.
"Yeah well for one she is my girlfriend and she doesn't like being called hot" I say
"Your girlfriend? Yeah keep thinking that" he says and walks away as the buisness people come in. I sat down angrily and the meeting started.
After the meeting was over we started to head back to our car until Donny popped up out of no where.
"Hey you wanna hang out tonight? Like see a movie or something?" He asks lilly and I roll my eyes.
"Actually me and cam have a few friends visiting" she says.
"Oh well everyone can come?" He says. Wow he really was trying too hard.
"I'm sure that sounds like fun." She says and I mentally face palmed. She was so oblivious.
"Cool see you guys at 7" he smiles before walking away.
We get in the car and I just look at her
"What?" She laughs.
"He's Tryna get with you!" I point out.
"No he's not he's just trying to get to know his new co worker" she says
"Yeah late at the movies alone?" I ask
"Oh..." She says realizing it.
"When we go tonight your sitting between me and Sam." I say.
"Okay okay" she laughs and we drive back.
We go into her house and everyone was in her living room.
"Where were you?" Sam asks.
"Oh yeah I forgot to tell you I had a buisness meeting" she says.
"Oh my baby sisters growing up" Sam fake cries and I laugh.
*lillys pov*
"so one of my co workers wants us all to go to the movies tonight and I already said yes so we're going" I say
"How am I going to handle you when you move back?" Sam sighs
"Let me go anywhere I want and help me get my license" I say
"Yeah okay" he laughs.
"I can teach you how to drive" cam says.
"Yay!" I say
~~~~~~~
We were all getting ready to go to the movies. I didn't want to try too hard because I don't want this guy thinking I liked him. I honestly didn't think he liked me but I trust cameron. I put on some plain distressed jeans and roles the bottoms a few times and paired that with a white tank top and my favorite combat boots.
I put my hair in a pony tail and added some concealer, mascara and filled my eyebrows topping it of with a red lip stick.
I texted can saying I was ready. Nate didn't want to go and Jack and Sam were ready.
"I'm riding with cam and nash I'll meet you guys there" I say to the guys before leaving to cams.
"Hellooo" I say walking in the door.
"We're up here" I hear nash yell from upstairs.
"Black vans or red vans to go with this?" Can asks when I walk in.
"Red" I say and he puts them on.
"Hello my lovely" he says kissing me quickly before we walk down to the car.

"nash remember Donny?" Cameron asks.
"Yeah" nash says.
"Yeah he's into lilly"
"Wait really? Did you tell him to back off?" Nash asks
"Yeah but he didn't believe me when I said she was my girlfriend" cam says
"Wait what? That's what you were talking about with them earlier?" I ask
"Yeah I didn't want to upset you or make you feel uncomfortable or anything" he shyly says
"You're too adorable" I smile.
"Not as adorable as me" Nash says
"Please, get me some blue contacts and we could be twins" I say.
"That is very true" Nash laughs.
We get to the theater and go inside. We see donny and John and walk over to them.
"Hey what are we seeing?" John asks.
All the movies were horror or romance or pitch perfect 2.
"How about pitch perfect" I say. I see Sam, and Jack walk in.
"Sam, Jack these are my co workers donny and John" I say and the say hi.
"Well pitch perfect sounds great to me" Donny says. Everyone agrees and gets the tickets.
Cam grabs my hand. Probably to prove a point to donny. But also just because that's how he is.
We get into the theater and I tried sitting between cam and Jack but it didn't exactly work that way. I ended up between cam and Donny. Of freaking course.
At least it's not a romance so it'll be fine.
The movie started and I completely forgot about all the drama that might happen with donny and cam. I loved pitch perfect.

*sams pov*
The movie was over and Cameron and Jack headed to the bathroom while me, lilly, donny, and John walked out.
"Can't wait to shoot with you this weekend" donny smiles at lilly
"Um yeah well I better go to the car" lilly says.
"Have a good night" he says getting closer to her but she awkwardly walked away.
John left and I walked up to this stupid Donny kid.
"Stay the hell away from my sister" I say and walk to my car leaving him standing there.
*lillys pov*
I was waiting for cam and nash to get to the car. I saw Sam getting into his car looking angry. I wonder why.
I didn't know if Donny was just getting closer or trying to kiss me, either way it was awkward so I just walked away.
Can and nash got in the car and it was silent.
"Donny tried to kiss me" I blurted out not even thinking about it.
"What?!" Cameron yells.
"I mean he was strong close to my face but I started to walk away. He looked like he was going in to kiss me" I say
"Babe you know I love you and if any other guy did that I'd beat the hell out of them but he's my co worker and I'd get in huge trouble for that" can says and I laugh
"Your so sweet but I don't want you to beat anyone up. I just thought you should know" I say
"It's only 9 how about we go back to my house and we can all make ice cream sundaes" I say.
"Sounds good to me" cam says and we pull into my drive way.
We go inside and Jack and Sam were already there.
"Where have you guys been?" My mom asks.
"Movies" I say
"Oh well don't stay up too late and I'm going to bed"
"Okay goodnight" I say and my mom goes upstairs.
"Ice cream sundaes?" I ask everyone.
"I'm good" Sam says.
"Lame" I pout.
Nash and the guys started freaking out about this new video game and I sigh.
"Cmon, me. You. A tub of ice cream and a Blanket outside" cam says.
"Okay" I smile.
We get everything and sit in the grass outside. We had a tub of mint chocolate chip ice cream sitting between us and two spoons.
"So about the other day" cam starts
"What about the other day?" I ask
"You wouldn't tell me anything about your ex boyfriends" he says
"Well there's a lot to say"
"Cmon I want to know all the losers that came before me!" He says and I laugh
"Well your right about the loser part" I say.
"There was an awful one" I say thinking of Jayden. So many memories of everything flooded into my head and I felt a tear slip down my cheek.
"Whoa what happens what's wrong?" He asks
"Nothing just a really mean person" I say wiping my tear and smiling at him.
"Please tell me what happend."
