People Aren't What They Seem

SIX

*Grace's pov*

I sigh as I pull my backpack onto my back and make my way towards Cam's locker.

I lean against it as I wait for him to arrive. I close my eyes for a minute but open them when everyone grows silent. In walks Cam with a small grin on his face.

I can't help but smile even though I just want to cry.

"Hey" Cam smiles as he gives me a hug.

He goes to let go but I only hold on tighter.

"Wow, what's up?" He asks hugging me tighter.

I let go and grab his hand dragging him down the hall away from others.

"Gracie what's wrong?" Cam asks.

And that's when I broke. I hug him tightly as I cry into his chest, finally letting my emotions out.

Cam holds me tight against his chest as I continue crying.

After a few minutes I finally calm down as the tears begin to slow down.

"What's wrong Gracie?" Cam asks in the most concerned voice.

"I'm just stressed out because of everything and I only got two hours of sleep last night and I didn't get to study and Cam I'm worried about you" I mumble as I look at him.

"Gracie, you have more important things to worry about" Cam says as he places his hand on my cheek.

"We will talk about it later" I say as the bell rings.

I make my way to my class and sit down in my seat next to Ethan. In front of me is Grayson and Caitlyn and next to her is Shawn.

"What's up?" Ethan asks.

"It's nothing" I mumble.

He gives me a concerned look but turns to the front of the class as the teacher walks in.

"Alright class, you all know the rules. You have five minutes to get all your essentials out before I hand out the tests, no opening the booklet until I say so. Do your own work and try your best to answer everything. Good luck students, and no talking until the test is over. You now have five minutes before your test starts" Mr Collins says.

I grab what I need from my back pack and place it on the table.

Once we are told to start I begin working on my test.

*1 hour later*

I let out a deep breath as I stand up grabbing my backpack as I do.

"Have a good day students, I will see you at graduation on Thursday night" Mr Collins smiles before walking out of the room.

"Fuck I still have to pick up my dress" I groan.

"I'll go with you tomorrow, we don't have any tests so it will be okay" Caitlyn smiles.

"Okay, I've got one more test today guys, I'll see you tomorrow maybe" I say before walking out of the room.

I make my way to my next class for my last test.

I sit down next to Peyton and go through the same procedure as before.

After around twenty minutes I sigh wanting to give up.

I look over the test paper again and groan internally.

*20 minutes later*

I sigh as I stand up handing my test to Mrs Evans. I then grab my bag and make my way out of the class being the last one out.

I start to make my way to my car just wanting to get home already.

"Gracie wait up" I hear Cam shout from behind me.

I start to slow down knowing Cam will catch up. Once we reach my car I put my stuff in before climbing into the front.

"So, talk" Cam says.

I take a deep breath as my grip on the steering wheel tightens.

"Cameron you are the most important thing to me. Not all that stupid other shit is important to me. You being happy is what's important to me" I cry.

"Well I'm not important and honestly it would be easier for everyone if I left" he yells.

I shake my head as I climb out of my now parked car. I grab my bag and make my way inside and up to my room Cam following behind me.

"Cameron you are so fucking important to me you don't fucking understand. I notice your new cuts and bruises on your body each day. I notice how you try to cover them with make up. I notice the cuts on your wrist. I notice how broken you are and I just want to show you how important you are but I don't know how" I yell as tears roll down my cheeks.

Just as  about to continue talking Cam places his lips on mine. It's a soft kiss but it's full of emotion.

I wrap my arms around his neck as the kiss continues.

When we pull away to take a breath I notice the tears on his cheeks.

I look at him before looking at his arm. I look back at Cam before I take his jacket off placing it on the chair next to us.

I look at the new cuts as well as the old ones. I gently kiss them before looking him in the eyes.

"If you ever do this again I'm doing it too" I say as I run my hands through his hair.

"No, I don't want you hurting yourself over me" Cam says shaking his head.

"Then do your best to stay strong, for me" I say.

He slowly nods as he looks at me. I look at him as I take his hands in mine.

I kiss his lips softly before sitting on my bed.

"Let's cuddle and watch movies" I say as I climb under the covers.

He climbs in next to me wrapping his arms around me. I grab my laptop off of my bed side table and place it on our laps so we can see before I rest my head on his chest.

"Let's watch Aladdin" I smile as I click on it.

Cam chuckles before placing a kiss on my head as he grabs my hand.

And for once I feel complete.
