Cameron's POV

When I arrive at the party, its already packed. "Hey man, I'm gonna go upstairs for a sec, grab me a drink."

"Whatever" I sigh and walk over to where the drinks are as Nash walks upstairs.

As I am grabbing a drink out the cooler, I feel a tap on my shoulder. "Um, hey. I'm Alexis" a girl says.

"Hi." I say not even looking at her, still grabbing some beer."I saw you from across the room and I think you're really cute." She sounds shy.

I look up at her and I am blown away. Her blonde hair falls down the bottom of her back, her blue eyes sparkle like the sky and she has the most beautiful smile, after Emma of course.

Ok, stop thinking about Emma, say something to her. "Hey, I'm Dallas, Cameron Dallas" I say and hold my hand out, saying it like they do in the movies.

She chuckles and shakes my hand. "Well hello Dallas. Wanna dance?" Okay, this is my chance for a new start with a new girl.

"Yes, I would love to." We walk over to the crowd of people dancing. The song talk dirty to me is playing.

We smile at each other not knowing what to do. She just laughs and pulls me more into the crowd.

When we stop, I grab her by her waist and pull her in close. I begin swaying my hips to the song and she follows along.

The whole time we do that without looking away from each other. Once the song is done playing, I let her go. "Hey, wanna go upstairs?" She asks.

I nod my head and smile. She grabs my hand and leads me upstairs to one of the bedrooms.

Emma's POV

"Shawn" I say weakly, tapping on his shoulder. He turns around and his face turns into concern.

"What happened?" He asks. "Cameron was talking to another girl." I say with tears threatening to come out.

"H-he's here?" He asks. "Yes, Shawn I really don't want to be here, please take me home."

He pulls me by my arm and brings me up to a room so we can talk. When he opens the door, I see he instantly regrets it.

No, no no no. Okay Emma, don't cry. Don't cry!

Cameron and that girl stops kissing after a few seconds when they notice us. I feel like crying my eyes out, I can't take this.

I stand there in shock for a few seconds and look at Shawn. "Emma" he says softly.  before he could say anything else, I run downstairs.

I hear him calling me name as he runs downstairs, but I ignore him.

No, this can't be happening. He can't be kissing another girl.

My heart is beating so fast, my stomach feels weird and my eyes are burning from all the tears flowing out of them.

Shawn's POV

"Emma" I say but before I could say anything else, she runs downstairs. "Emma!" I say running after her.

Before I get to her, Cameron pulls me to the side. "Man, I don't know what to do." He says.

I look down for a few seconds then back at him, thinking about what I should say.

"Go talk to her." I say and when I realize what I said, I mentally slap myself. Nice going Shawn.

"Really? Wouldn't that be the last thing I should do?" He asks. "Just go talk to her Man, she needs closer."

Okay Shawn shut up you're not making sense. "Okay..." He says then runs to Emma.

I see her yell and throw her hands up, but I can't make out what she's saying since the music is so loud.

He yells back and she starts tearing up, she runs out the house. Cameron's face becomes sympathetic and chases after her.

Cameron's POV

"Just get away from me Cameron! Leave me alone!" She yells over the loud music.

"Why are you mad at me?! How else am I supposed to get over you?!" I yell back, instantly regretting it when she starts tearing up.

"Emma" I say softly with a sympathetic face.

She runs out the house and I think for a second whether I should go after her or not. I end up chasing after her

"Emma, please." I say grabbing her arm as we stand outside. "What? You know what, I don't want to hear it."

I never want to see you again." She says and lets loose of my grip. "Emma, I love you." She instantly stops in her tracks and looks back.

"Well I don't love you." Wow, I know she doesn't mean it but that hurts more than I expected.

"Where you going?" I ask as she continues walking. "away from you." I jog up to her to catch up and start walking next to her.

"Emma please, don't let us end like this. I need you in my life." She ignores me and keeps walking.

"Emma please." Wow I seem so desperate. "What are you saying Dallas? What are we cause we sure as hell ain't friends and nothing more."

"Okay, we don't have to be friends, lets just be civil with each other." I ask more than state.

I see her thinking about it for a second then stop. "Okay, no texting nor calling, we just act civil when we see each other and that's it."

I smile a little and nod. "Deal?" I ask holding my hand out. She looks at it for a second and shakes my hand without saying anything.

"Can you drive me home?" She asks. "What? You don't want to stay and enjoy the party?" I ask.

"No, not really." She says. "Okay then." I start walking the other way towards my car.

I open the passengers side for Emma and she just gets in without saying anything.

The whole car ride is silent, not the comfortable nice silence, awkward silence.

When we get to Shawn's house, she gets out the car without even saying goodbye.

I still can't believe I told her I love her and she didn't say it back, it just didn't feel right.

I look down at my phone and see I got a text

From Alexis : Hey, where are you?

Shit, I forgot about her.

To Alexis : Sorry, I had to drive a friend home, I'll be back soon

From Alexis : Its all good and if you don't want to come back, you don't have to

To Alexis : Are you sure?

From Alexis: Yea totally, I'll text you tomorrow.

Once we finish texting, I start to pull out but get another text.

From Emma : Hey, I see your still outside. Do you wanna spend the night?

Spend the night? Should I? Okay my mind's telling me no but my guts telling me yes. 

I think about it for a second before turning the car off and knocking on the door.

The door opens and I walk in. I mean, this isn't really her house so I don't need an invitation.

"Okay, you're sleeping on the couch." She says and throws me a pillow.

"Wait, you're just gonna give me a pillow and leave?" I ask.

"No, I was going to watch a movie down her." She says.

"Oh, okay." I sat and sit down on the couch. She sits next to me and put the movie on.

When the movie finishes, I see her sleeping on the other side. I pick her up and bring her into her room.

I tuck her in and leave the room while closing the door. For a second, I look back. "Love you" I say lowly.

After that, I go back downstairs and fall asleep on the couch.
