Broken Hearted

Chapter 21

Chapter 21:

Cameron-

I pretended to drop my pencil on the floor

“Pick it up, Mister Chase” the teacher grumbled

I knelt down and grabbed the pencil, along with the note. I unwrapped it behind my upright book, my breath caught as I read the note,

Cameron Chase was the best I’ve EVER had!

I cursed Raquel under my breath and crumpled the note. I got up and ran out of the classroom,

“Cameron Chase, you’ll be getting a detention!” the teacher called behind me. I didn’t care, I ran through hallway, looking for Stacey. I saw her turning a corner in front of me. I ran after her,

“Stacey! Wait!” I yelled

“Go away!” she called over her shoulder. I ran up to her and grabbed her shoulder.

“Please listen” I pulled up her chin to reveal her tear streaked cheeks. I really hated seeing her sad. A girl like Stacey was meant to be happy, bubbly… not grief-stricken and teary-eyed. “Stacey… Please”

“What?” she spat out

“C’mon” I grabbed her hand and led her towards my car. She didn’t ask where we were going, but when I opened the car door she hoped in without a word. I quickly joined her.

“Look, Stacey…I’m sorry. I-I” I started

“You’re sorry? Is that the best you got, Cameron? Well, here’s what I got.” She breathed in

“I hate Raquel, for two reasons. One she had you first, and two she’s absolutely delusional! She actually believes that she has a chance with you after that stunt she pulled with Jake; I on the other hand actually do have a chance.”

I tapped my fingers against the steering wheel. I had to tread carefully, woman were a completely different species, one wrong move and BOOM! She’ll explode all over your ego.

“I understand Stacey” I sighed

“NO! No you don’t! You don’t get how it feels to be someone’s sloppy seconds! You don’t get how it feels to compete with Raquel! She’s perfect and skinny and beautiful and I’m-I’m well me… Boring old, Stacey Sun.”

I turned in my seat and grabbed her shoulders

“Stacey you listen to me right now! You are everything Raquel is times a hundred! She’s not perfect or beautiful! She’s a skanky slut and you’re a wholesome young lady. She uses her looks to get what she wants from guys…from me” I yelled

“Wh-what?” she questioned

“She is a whore, okay? She seduces men till she gets what she wants then leaves them. You’re not like that Stacey… I know it” I smiled weakly

“Cameron… I-I don’t know what to say…” she looked down, playing with the hem of her skirt

“Then don’t say anything,” I whispered. Pulling her chin to my face, kissing her briefly “Your perfect, with or without words” I moved my rain of kisses down her neck and she breathed out heavily

“Cameron, this is happening really fast” she admitted, tilting her head to give me better access

“I know, but does happening fast make it any less real?” I asked moving again to kiss her sweet mouth
