unexpected

Seven

it's been a few days since we were at the jacks house. ever since my talk with Jack and over hearing Cameron's conversation with Jack, I've tried to get Cameron to like me.

I know I shouldn't do that and I should probably be myself but ever since I've heard what Cameron thought about me, I started seeing myself differently.

It started making me more self-conscious and I started caring more about what other people thought about me.

I might as well get used to Cameron though, Gina decided I had to stay with Cameron for the rest of the summer, because she was too busy for me.

I wanted to go back home to Arizona so bad. my friends were hanging out constantly and I felt excluded from them. I felt like we weren't even friends anymore.

"Kylie!" Cameron yelled, interrupting my thoughts.

"in here" I said from the bathroom.

I was currently braiding my hair.

"So um I was thinking, today we should go to the beach and hang out. just me and you because, you know I barely know you and all the guys are busy so" Is he seriously asking me this? he wants to actually spend time with me. it didn't sound like that the other day when he was talking to Jack.

honestly I didn't want to go to the beach. the past few days we've been busy constantly. I haven't gotten a break and I'm super tired.

I had only agreed to do what Cameron wanted because when he was talking to Jack he said something about always doing what I wanted to do. so I decided we should do things that he wanted to do.

which consisted of six flags, going to the movies. hanging out at the mall. going to someone's house.

I just wanted to chill.

"Kylie! hello? answer me please." Cameron said.

"Umm I don't know I have this really bad headache. you should go though. I can stay here" I lied.

I didn't have a headache and I didn't want to be home alone. but I did want Cameron to be happy and not hate me.

"No. if you don't feel well then we should stay here. we can bond over movies instead of the beach" he said.

Wow. is it just me or is he acting different?

"Okay. are you sure? because I'm totally fine if you don't want to stay here and hang out with me." I chuckled while finishing off my French braid.

"Yeah. it's no problem. I'll go get the snacks. you go put on a movie in the loft." he said walking back down to the kitchen.

I did as he said and went up tit he loft.  I hooked my laptop up to the tv and went on Netflix.

As I was in the middle of that, Cameron came in.

"Okay u brought your favorite, pretzels and marshmallows, m&ms and trail mix." he said.

"Wait how did you know these were my three favorite things?" I asked. I don't remember telling him that.

"Your dad told me" He smiled.

"Oh. ok" I said blankly at the thought of my dad.

the last time he called me was two days ago. we got to talk for about 10 minutes before he had to go.

Lately he hasn't had very good reception or else he would have called. 

He calls me any chance he get.

"Ok ready?" Cameron asked before hitting play on the movie.

I nodded me head.

we were about 20 minutes into the movie and I could feel my eyes trying to close.

I decided to close my eyes just for 5 minutes.

but that five minutes turned into a really long nap.

•

I yawned and opened my eyes while looking at my surrounding.

I had a mini panic attack when I woke up and didn't realize where I was. Then u remembered I must've fallen asleep while Cameron and I were watching a movie.

I clicked my phone and it read 5:45. wow I slept for 6 hours!

I grabbed my phone, I left the loft and went to bathroom.

it turns out that it was that time of the month again and I only have one tampon left.

After that I went down stairs.

"Finally you're awake! I was starting to think you were dead." Cameron said with relief.

"Nope. I'm awake." I yawned.

"Are you hungry? do you want to go get some food.

I was starving. 

"No I'm fine" I lied.

"Really? you slept for almost 7 hours and you aren't hungry?" He asked with shock.

I nodded my head,"I'm sure"

"okay well the jacks are coming over in about in hour and they were going to bring pizza. do you want any of that?" He asked.

"uhh maybe. I'm not that hungry but I guess pizza does sound good." A smile grew on his face. Why was he happy?

"I'll be right back. I need to call my mom" Cameron gave me a small smile before he left the room.

I used this time to text the jacks.

to jj & jg
'I'm here at Cameron's house and I need tampons. I feel bad asking Cameron. on your way over can you guys get me some please😬🙏🏼'

jj: why are you scared to ask Cameron and not us?😂

jg: yea we will get you some

I typed back
'yay thank you so much. I'll pay you back. and I want Cameron to like me and he doesn't like how I'm needy all the time so I'm trying to be less needy.'

jj: wtf you can't help that you need this and nothing's wrong with being needy.

jg: we are all having a talk when we get there.

k: I guess I'll just stay in my room the whole time.
