Love at Camp Sight

Part 8

Taylor

I have no way of knowing how long I've been under this bed. All I know is that one of the consular's decided to stay in here. I keep hearing her breathe. I know it's not the boys. I know the boys aren't sleeping. I know it's really cramped under this bed. 

Something falls by the wall. I almost scream. Then I realize, it's a note. Through the darkness I can tell Cameron made it. Through the darkness I read it as best as I can. 

Sorry Taylor

Cameron really is sorry for what he got me into. And I forgive him, though I have no way of telling him. I'm assuming I'm going to have to stay under here for a little while. 

I can barely see the sun shining through the window. 

I hear the shower water run 2 times. 

"I'm leaving." I hear the consular say. 

I know I shouldn't come out yet, but it's so cramped under here that it's annoying. I hear the shower run a 3rd time. 

I move the suitcase out of the way, and crawl out. Cameron is still sleeping. I go down to my knees and nudge him.

He opens his eyes, and smiles at me. I smile back. 

"Do I have dust in my hair." I say.

He shakes his head.

He takes a shower, then we walk to the cafeteria. We don't get to say anything else to each other during or after breakfast. He lives in a city 2 hours from where I live. We'll never see each other. I slightly wave good-bye to him when his mom gets here, but I don't think he saw. I know he'd do the same. Mom comes and picks me up with everyone younger than me in the mini van. I sit up front.

"How was it?" Mom asks when I get buckled. I'm not sure I should tell her about my kiss. I'm not sure I should tell her about Cameron. I'm not sure I should tell her about what happened last night. 

I shrug my shoulders. "Eh. It was alright." I lie. She hates it when I lie, but I'm not prepared to tell her anything more than that. 

"I'm glad you're back. So is Lilly." She says. Lilly is my youngest sister, the one in 2nd grade. I think Lilly play favorites. I'm her favorite.

So that was that. Whatever happened this last week is now never going to be told. Whatever happened between me and Cameron is never going to be known. Whatever happened with how much I really had fun is never going to be heard. Because I'm never saying a word of it.
