Chapter nine

"Mom!" I exclaimed running up giving her a hug. I'm so glad to be here, I haven't seen her in almost two years and I feel slightly guilty for waiting this long to see her. "I missed you so much," I said pulling away from her.

"Well, that's what you get for waiting so long," she chuckled. She glanced around the room at everyone slightly surprised. "Is that my Cammy?" She gasped and Camila ran up to her giving her a big hug.

"Grandma!" she exclaimed. "I missed you," she said nuzzling her head into her chest. "You've grown," she said placing her hands on her shoulders. "If you here then Holden is probably here too, right?" She smiled and Holden ran up to her.

"Sup grams," he hugged her and she laughed. She hugged and greeted everyone, but all my attention was on Cameron. He silently stood in the back not saying anything, not moving or even trying to get noticed. He probably feels like he isn't going to get the welcoming everyone else was getting.

I know I keep saying I hate Cameron and I wish he would just go away. Like some distant memory that was meant to be gone. But I don't hate him, I could never hate him. And I was glad he was here. I just want to she him and I wish I didn't want him here. But I'm not lying when I said I was over him. I could never see myself with him, no matter how much I gave up in the past for him. Mom looked around at everyone until she spotted Cameron in the back. Her smile grew as she walked up to him pulled him into a hug. Everyone was slightly surprised considering they did not expect my mother to be this happy to see him. He did kill her ex husband.

"Cameron," she sighed pulling away with her hands still in contact with his shoulders. "You've grown so much, and I forgive you," her voice crack. I watched as tears came to his eyes as he forced a smile nodding at her statement. "We have a lot of catching up to do," she told him and he nodded again.

"I have no idea," I heard Camila mumbled behind me. I looked over my shoulder at her standing besides Holden as they watched contently at what was happening.

"Mom, why don't you show is our rooms so we don't have to carry these bags around," I suggested filling the room out of its silence. I couldn't handle everyone watching them and thinking what about what happened in the past. It's been hard for everyone, especially me and Cameron.

"Yes, of course. Everyone follow me," she said and everyone obeyed. We walked down the hall and up the stairs to wear all the guest rooms were located. She's lived alone in this house for awhile now and it's quite big for just one person. I think about moving down here all the time because she's here and here is plenty of space. I'm just worried about everyone else. I've made so many friends in LA and it would be like starting over again if I move back to Florida. She showed us the rooms each of us will be staying in.

"And Matt, Ayo, Holden, and the new baby will be staying in the biggest room because their family needs it," she squealed overly excited about baby Mason.

"But I don't want to share a room with them and the baby! What if they get all touchy and do stuff! And Mason cries, a lot," he complained.

"We won't do anything. Your mother just had a baby," Matt told him with a chuckle. "That probably won't stop you still!" He complained causing all the laugh and Ayo's jaw to drop.

"Holden!" She scolded him. "Mom!" He whined. "You'll just share a room with me," Camila told him and he silently thanked her. Carter looked over at me and I rolled my eyes at him. He's just being the over protective dad but there is no need for that. He should know Holden would never try something, he's a complete gentlemen.

"But you're sharing a room with your mom," he added. "It's okay, I'll just find somewhere else stay," I told them. "You could stay with me," Cameron suggested and I hesitated before looking over at him. "Or you could stay with me," Carter said and I looked between them. It's just like in high school, they would always make me choose between them.
