Forty Three - Trust Me

"Dad do you know what happened there?" I asked wondering if he knew anything about the situation.

"No bud. What's up?"

"I saw mom kissing Sam's dad." I looked down at the table. "Sorry."

He stiffened. "It's okay. I sensed something."

"Look. I want to sort something out with Taylor. Come with me. Live in California with Taylor and I. Aaliyah too."

He sighed then slowly nodded.

The waitress was here with our pancakes and hash browns. At least I'll eat this pain away for now.

"Daddy syrup please." In that instant Cameron and my dad both reached for the condiment. "Uhhh thanks Cameron." My dad glared at him as we weakly smiled.

I don't call Cameron daddy so why would he even respond to that answer.

"I just thought the syrup was easier in my angle to hand it ov... Um yeah."

They told me they agree to move to Los Angeles with me. He said he wants to be there when I tour. He thinks Aaliyah can live happily as well.

The only person I need to tell is Taylor.

My dad dropped me off with Cameron to his house as he said he would pack. He doesn't care about talking to my mom. There was conflict that was lowkey before I told him what happened. He wants to just hear her straight up say it before he leaves.

Awkward because he has to stay around for the divorce filing before leaving with me. They all need passports too.

So I'm leaving in two days while my dad and Aaliyah are leaving in two weeks.

"Cameron... have you ever been cheated on?" I asked him sighing as I slept rather far from him on the bed.

"Nope. The closest something like that has happened was you running for Taylor. I felt like someone finally got hold of something I never could."

I sighed. I never meant to even hurt Cameron.

"But you like Nash now right? We're just good friends now? Always best friends."

He smiled and pulled me towards him.

"Much love Shawnie."

"How are you and Taylor."

Now I've always wanted to avoid this question with anybody because I love him to bits where it's indescribable sometimes.

"Honestly. He's jealous and clingy. But without that I'll just have a boyfriend. I am glad he's everything I hate because it makes me realize that it's everything I need. It assures me how he never wants to let go. It makes me love him so much. He cares a lot and I love him dearly."

Cameron nodded. He's happy that I am with someone who will treat me right.

I realized there was something I never told him.

"Oh. He was also my penpal."

Cameron choked. "OH MY FOAH SHAAN WOAHW FINALLY I BEVER WOUKDNOF THIUGHT I CANT VELIEVE U FOUND IUT WHO AAS GOUR PENPAIL!11!1!"

He was even happier than I could of been. It makes me speechless that at least my best friend-- who once liked me-- was honestly the happiest.

"Thank you. A lot. Cameron."

With that I made sure to fall asleep easy, not getting to close to Cameron.

I know back then I'd casually cuddle and kiss Cameron but I know where I stand now and I don't think it's appropriate to even touch him in bed like this, knowing I have a faithful boyfriend in another country.
