Open Arms

Chapter 3

Camerons POV
-------------------
"Are you a drug dealer?" Violet asked jokingly.
"No," I chuckled. "Violet..."
"Can you tell me already."
I paused. I don't know how to say it. I've thought about it so many times, but I'm at a loss of words. Now that I'm here, in front of her. She's actually really intimidating for being 5'6.
"Cameron?" She asked impatiently.
"Hold on, I'm still trying to figure out how to say this." I said, grabbing her hand and squeezing it tightly.
"Ever since that night on the ferris wheel... I've had feelings for you. And I don't know if you feel the same way, but I can't see myself with anyone other than you. Violet, I love you." I said slowly. I don't know how she is gonna react.
I see a faze of shock wash over her face.
"Cameron, I don't know what to say..."
"Just tell me how you feel." I say letting go of her hand.
"Well, you're too perfect. That's all I feel right now. I rarely think of us like that and I really wish we were dating. But I just don't think I'm ready for a relashionship right now. But I do know I'm ready to start my new life with my bestfriend in California. Maybe some day we will be together," she paused," not yet."
As she said these things, I felt my heart break. She didn't feel the same way. She wasn't going to be my girlfriend. She was going to be someone else's wife some day...
"Okay?" She asked cupping my cheek in her hand. I nodded.
She rested her head in the crook of my neck and we stood there for a while before I heard her crying. I moved my hand along her back comforting her. I knew this would be hard on her, but I thought she would understand.
"We should finish packing my stuff." She said looking up at me. I wipped the tears from her face before nodding. I walked over to her closet and grabbed her suitcase.
"I'm really sorry Cameron. You know I love you, right?" She said putting clothes into bags.
"Not the way I love you."
She looked at me and I saw hurt in her eyes.
"I didn't want to hurt you, Cameron. I hate seeing you in pain. And now I have to live with you, knowing you love me, and I feel the same. That tension will always be there. But this seems like a really immature relashionship. My parents are gone and we are on our own." She said putting the rest of her things in boxes.
"I know. I shouldn't have said anything." I said.

Violets POV
-------------------
I'm actually really glad he said something. Because I really do love him. I just don't want to seem desperate. I know he is in pain, and this is gonna sound horrible, but tragedy is going to make us stronger. If I make him wait, and he waits, we will make it through a relashionship. Easily, I know he will be with me through thick and thin. If we are still friends after this, I'll tell him how I feel.
"Cameron?" I ask.
"What?" He says sharply.
"Are you okay...?" I say walking over to him with the rest of my bags.
"I'm fine." I know he's not.
"Don't lie to me, please." I say.
"I'm not fine, I've loved you for almost a year now. I can't imagine you loving anyone else other than me, because it hurts too much. I love you more than you could even imagine. You are the girl I won't get over. I might end up marrying someone other than you, but I know I won't be as happy as I would be as I am with you. I will always love you Voilet Mae Hudson. And one day I hope to make you mine. But today is not that day. I don't know how much longer I can wait."

Cameron's POV
------------------------
Violet finished packing her things. We walk out of the house and she pauses to look at the house she grew up in. We've had so many memories here. Good memories. Like her 16th birthday, when her parent hired her favorite band to come play. She was so happy that night. I can still remember the way her face lit up under all the lights. Im really gonna miss this house.
