The Girl With The Broken Smile (Cameron Dallas)

Chapter Thirteen

||Victoria's P.O.V||

We had all decided to go home and get ready and meet at the party. Cam would pick me up, and Nash would drive Sam. I walked into my closet, in search for the outfit I was going to wear to the party. I came across a familiar dress and my mind went back a couple of years.

*Flashback*
"What the hell are you wearing?!" Noel questioned. I instantly panicked, feeling insecure. "Do you not like it?" I asked disappointed, because it had taken me nearly two hours to get ready.

"You look absolutely ridiculous. Go back upstairs and change. Make it quick, the guys have been texting me all night saying I've missed all the fun." He said sighing. I could feel my eyes watering and I decided to make an excuse.

"That was the only dress I own, and I bought it for this party , I'm sorry you don't like it." I said keeping my head low, not wanting him to see me cry. "Oh my God you always have an excuse for not being able to hang out with me and my friends. You know what I'm leaving." He said storming out the door.

I ran back upstairs, slipped out of the dress, buried myself under my comforter, and cried. I didn't care about the hour it had taken me to put on my makeup, I just cried. I cried myself to sleep that night.

I awoke the next morning to the smell of brewing coffee, I silently threw on my robe and walked downstairs. Noel had my breakfast ready at the table, and he did a double take once he saw my swollen eyes. "You've been crying haven't you?" He questioned. "Yeah." I simply replied.

He handed me a moist towelette and stayed silent. I wiped my face clean, removing the makeup from the night before. "Im sorry." He replied his face looking guilty.

"It's fine." I said beginning to eat my french toast. "No it's not fine, I made you feel like shit and then walked out. You honestly looked breathtaking, but I knew guys would be all over you and I didn't want that. I should've told you the truth instead of doing what I did. I went out, partied, got drunk, and had fun. I'm the world's biggest asshole. I am so sorry babe." He said.

I smiled and shrugged it off, but deep down inside it still hurt. It hurt that he didn't care about the way he made me feel. It hurt that he'd left. Everything hurt.

*End of flashback*

I had been standing in my closet well over 10 minutes just holding the dress. The dress that was full of resentment and disappointment. I was about to hang it back up and hide it, when I realized I was done feeling guilty over my past.

I slipped into the black dress, feeling the fabric cling onto my curves. It looked nice, I began to feel a bit more confident almost instantly. I kept my makeup simple and went for a bold lipstick color. To top my look off I threw on a pair of black bedazzled heels and sent Cameron a text.

He arrived fifteen minutes later, dressed in a nice blue shirt and skinny jeans along with some brown boots. He kept it simple, but looked handsome. I was ready to let loose and have some fun!

We arrived at a modern style, two story house and for the first time the pouncing music sent a shock of excitement through my body. We walked in, Cameron's arm wrapped securely around my waist, and two guys around our age approached us.

One of them was a brunette dressed in a simple white shirt, dark jeans and white sneakers. He was holding onto a girl who had long, wavy, brown hair and she was giving me a nasty look.

The other boy was blonde, dressed in a long grey shirt and khaki jeans with black sneakers. He looked adorable, and like the type of guy who would hold you while you were on your period and rub your belly.

"Hey, Cam! Introduce us to this good looking young lady!" The blonde boy said. "Jack this is Victoria. And Victoria that one is also named Jack." Cameron said. I paused, not knowing whether he was messing with me or not. "Wait they're both named Jack?" I questioned. "Yeah, except that I'm better looking and treat girls better!" The blonde one cheered.

"Yeah, sure buddy that's why you have a girlfriend right?" The brunette said in a cocky tone, shooting the blonde a wink. Then he turned to me and said, "Hi, I'm Jack Gilinsky and this is my girlfriend Madison Beer." He shook my hand and smiled politely. "The one with too much energy is Jack Johnson. He's probably going to try to hit on you tonight, but he means well." Gilinsky said genuinely.

"Thanks for the heads up!" I said smiling and realizing Cameron had left me at some point, because he was no longer next to me. I excused myself and walked off in search for Cam. Not long afterwards I felt myself hit something. "We have got to stop meeting this way!" An all too familiar voice said. It was Shawn.

"Shawn, thank God I ran into you. Well not literally... but I lost Cameron and I don't know anyone at this party." I said frantically. "Well, let's go get you acquainted with people!" Shawn said excitedly. "Matt, come here there's someone I want to introduce you to."

"I'm guessing it's Matt." I said giggling. "That's me and who might you be gorgeous?" He questioned smoothly. "This is Victoria, one of our new friends!" Shawn answered for me. I smiled and felt a tug at my wrist. I instantly panicked not wanting anyone to see my scars.

Matt grabbed my hand softly and led me towards an area where people were dancing. I looked back at Shawn and he held a thumbs up, indicating he was okay. I relaxed a bit and let myself go. I started to dance and soon enough I began to enjoy myself.

"I'm going to go get a drink. You want one?" Matt questioned smiling. "Nah, I'm fine I'm going to go find Cam, but this was fun!" I said and Matt just nodded and turned his attention onto another girl. Typical guy.

I looked upstairs and then looked in the kitchen. I couldn't find Cam until I stumbled upon an isolated room. It was pretty dim, but you could make out two people laying on a couch, making out. I looked at the guy's shoes and that's when I realized it was Cameron.

He had his arms around a girl, but I couldn't see who it was. She let out a giggle and I recognized the bitchy laugh to be Andrea's. Cameron was kissing Andrea. My head began to pound and the loud music made me feel worse.

I quietly walked back to where I'd left Matt earlier. He had his back turned to me, so I roughly grabbed his arm. He faced towards me and gave me a confused look. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and connected our lips. He didn't hesitate to kiss back, and soon I felt tingly and giddy.

If Cameron could have fun and not care then so could I. The kiss, that had turned into a hot make out session, came to an end and I found myself smiling. "I'll take that drink now." I said winking. "Coming right up!" Matt replied rushing towards the kitchen.

Cameron and Andrea walked hand in hand towards me, and I looked away. Matt came back soon after, and we continued to dance. I started laughing for no reason, and I saw Cam give me a look of confusion, but I just brushed it off.

I then proceeded to basically throw myself on Matt and we began kissing again. What was I doing? Was I honestly trying to make Cam jealous? My mind was telling me to stop being so immature, but my body wouldn't allow it. I continued to kiss Matt, but he didn't seem to mind it at all.

The rest of the night went by in a complete blur. Matt carried me upstairs after I stumbled out of my heels and collapsed on the floor. The second I felt a bed below me my eyelids grew heavy and I drifted off.

*The Next Morning*

I opened my eyes and looked around immediately beginning to panic once I didn't recall where I was. My mind recollected a few memories from last night, but not much. I began to get out of the bed, when my hand came into contact with another hand.

Who was asleep beside me?

I left this book unattended for more than a month, and I feel terrible about that! I won't promise you that I won't do it again, because honestly I don't know if I can keep that promise.
