"Come on Cameron." I whinned putting my suitcase into his car.
"No abi. I told you, it's not that easy for me to open up to someone." He said as we got into the car.
"Alright I understand." I said.
°
After Cameron dropped me off at my house my mom made me some dinner. I had some salad and chicken.
"Hey um mom?" I asked. She looked up at me. "I was wondering how you'd feel if I said I wanted to move into my own apartment..?" I said scared of her reaction.
"Well... if you can find the money and you are sure you're responsible enough then I'm okay with that." She said. I got all excited and ran up to hug her. I thanked her and ran up to my room.
I immidietly started looking up apartments in the LA area.
This will take a while.
° One week later °
"Last box." Said Cameron helping me with the boxes.
"Thanks." I said plopping down onto the couch. The apartment that I chose was right in the La area. It looked really great. It had a nice view, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. And a great kitchen and living room.
"Any time." Said Cameron putting on his jacket getting ready to leave. "Sorry I'd stay longer but I've gotta go somewhere." He said
"You okay?" I asked. The past week I've noticed so many changed in Cameron. I was honestly kinda worried.
"I'm fine." He said.
"I'm a girl and I know for a fact that that you're not 'fine'."
"Really. Its okay. Ill see you later." He said heading out the door before i could say anything.
°
I got an email from a lady that i have been sending my clothing designd to saying that i have been accepted to work for her. She wanted to see more so i was running around my apartment trying to find the designs.
I couldnt find them anywhere. Maybe cameron knew where they might be. He has been helping me with all my things anyways.
I grabbed my keys and went down to the parking lot. I got into my car and drove to Cameron's place.
"Hi Abigail!" Said Gina opening the door. "I heard you just moved to your own apartment. How is it?"
"Oh it's great! Thanks. Also is Cameron here?" I asked.
"Oh sorry he just went out for a drive a few hours ago."
I thanked her and said goodbye. I knew exactly where he'd be.
°
"I knew you'd be here." I said sitting next to Cameron on the cliff. He didn't say anything, but handed me my designs.
"You had these?! Cameron of my gosh I was looking for them thanks so much!" I said relieved. But he just sat there looking at his hands.
"Do you really want to know who Katy is?" He said looking up at me.
°
Apparently Katy was Cameron's ex. They used to be super close until she stood him up and left him for someone else. She left him at the same time his dad lost contact with them. It was a really hard time in his life.
"Cam I'm so sorry to hear that." I said. He just nodded and we stood up. But he didn't move.
"Cam if there's anything you want me to do i--" I started but he suddenly hugged me. I was confused at first but hugged him back.
"Stay with me." He said muffled into my shoulder.
"What?" I asked. He let go. "Can I stay with you the night? I really don't wanna go back home. My mom actually hated my ex so if she knew I was crying just cuz of her and I came out here she would get really mad. Ill just tell her you and I went to go hang out with friends and that I didn't have the key."
"Sure." I said. We got in our cars and drove to his house. He went into the backyard and snuck into his room. He changed into comfy clothing and came back and got in the passenger's seat. Then I drove back to my apartment.
°
"Okay well I have to to call this lady that I'm sending the designs to and will hopefully be working with her." I said walking into my room while Cameron watched tv.
"Hi Kylie. This is Abigail? I got your email earlier and I have the
designs."
"Oh Abigail. I'm sorry. You couldn't get the designs early to me and I had to give the job to someone else."
"Oh okay. Yeah it's alright. Tha ks for considering me though! Bye."
I threw my phone onto my bed and grabbed the designs. I went to the kitchen and started ripping them up.
[Cameron]
When I saw Abigail ripping up her designs I ran over and grabbed them from her.
"Abi what are you doing?
I thought you had to give these to-"
"Cameron I lost the position. I lost it because it was late." She said.
I felt bad. It was my fault. I ruined something that meant a lot to her. She was going to use this position to actually persue her dream and I ruined it. My plan was to actually ask a friend to get her designs but it didn't work out.
"Abi I'm sorry. If I knew you were going to get a call I wouldn't had of taken them and--"
"You took them?! Cameron why would you do that.." she said tearing up.
"No I didn't do it to hurt you!" I said immediately giving her a hug.
"Its fine." Was all she said and threw the papers away. She sat down on the couch and I followed.
"Nopeee!" I said grabbing her keys. "Okay you and I need to go do something. We aren't in the best mood so we should go do something to get these stuff out of our minds."
"Cam it's late. And you're crazy."
I rolled my eyes and went over to grab her hand. "You know what they say. Late night adventures are the best ones." I said and ran out the door as we ventured into the night.
