chapter 8. 😍

I don't really have anything to do after Eli left. But he seemed uneasy when he did leave so I just laid in my bed wondering why. I get on my phone.
Me: Father, when are you getting back?
I text my dad. He answers within 20 minutes.
Dad: Why? Did something happen? Did Elijah come over and watch you? He better have.
Ha, he did something like watching me.
Me: Yes he came over. You didn't tell me he had insomnia.
Dad: Why would I tell you something about my co-worker?
Me: Idk. Just a question.
Dad: Kameron? Are you not telling me something?
Me: No.
Dad: Kameron tell me.
Me: Fine you wanna know so bad, Jackie was over here the other day and her and Max were in the middle of... Something. I'm traumatized.😭
Dad: Oh. Well... Uh tell them to only do that at their place then.
Me:👌🏼
I roll my eyes. Classic Dad. Never wanted to deal with anything. Let alone care about my life. He only cared about Jackie's. Maybe it was because Jackie looked more like Dad and I didn't look like neither my dad nor my mother.
I call Jackie.
"What's up Babe." Jackie asks.
"Dad said not to have sex here only at your place." I say, rolling my eyes.
"Of course you ratted me out." Jackie huffs.
I turn my camera and point it to me.
"Oof, who have you been sleeping with." Jackie laughs, turning her camera on.
"No one." I say, bluntly.
"Kammy. Don't lie. Ashton?" Jackie says.
"No, that bitch can die in a hole." I growl.
"Ok then, who?" Jackie asks.
"No one." I groan.
"Kameron Grace." Jackie scolds.
"You'd hate me. And it shouldn't have happened. It was a mistake on my part." I groan again.
"Just tell me. I'm alone at home with the kids no one is gonna care here, well accept me." Jackie smiles.
"Ughh. Don't yell at me... Maybe, Maybe not-"
"Stop stalling."
"Elijah." I whisper.
"WHAT!" Jackie yells.
"Yea." I wince.
"You know dad's not only gonna kill you but he's going to make you watch him kill Eli." Jackie laughs.
"It's not funny. And why does it matter? He is funny, he is nice, he's protective, wait let me say that again, protective!" I roll my eyes.
"I'm not saying he isn't Babe. Just... Be careful." Jackie sighs.
I nod, "But do you even notice how much he hates me over you?" I huff.
"He doesn't hate you." Jackie says.
"He does too." I start, "But anyways I'm gonna go. Bye love you."
"Love you too." Jackie says.
I hang up and groan.
"A mistake?" Eli says.
I jump at his voice and turn around. I stand up and put my hands up.
"Eli that's not the only thing I said." I say, defensively.
"Yea but it's the worst thing you said." Eli chuckles, but it's the worst laugh of his I have ever heard.
"Eli, please. I didn't mean it. I mean... Look Elijah this whole situation is fucked. You know how my dad will react." I say, crossing my arms over my chest.
"Whatever Kameron. This is obviously why you can't handle a real relationship." Elijah says, before he is walking out.
I run after him and turn him around.
"The reason I don't do relationships is because there's no point! Saying I love you to someone for them to leave the next day seems pretty pointless to me. So you know what? Leave. Go ahead and prove to me I am right!" I say, making to my room.
"I guess you are. Goodbye Darlin." He says, before he slams the front door and his car is gone.
Darlin. Why did have to fucking call me that! Fuck. This. Shit.
