The night came quickly and I was worried about my first night being homeless. I was scared of creepy creepers. And was still stressed about how I was going to shower.

On the bright side, it was Friday. So I didn't have to worry about school.

My father had let me take the rental car he had, unknowingly to my mother. Because I still didn't have a car and he cared enough to make sure I wasn't sleeping on the streets. I was still mad at him though. It just tore me apart knowing my dad had did something so awful. I looked up to him. He was my hero, my best friend.

Speaking of best friends, I haven't told Hannah or cherry about this. I didn't want to worry them. And I didn't want to burden them if they tried to make me stay with them. This isnt their problem. I did this to myself.

And I planned on getting myself out of it. Maybe get a job. Maybe rent a tiny apartment with a roommate. I wasn't sure yet. But I knew I would figure something out. Because I sure as hell was not moving back in with my mom. She had thrown me out with nowhere to go. I've lost all respect for her.

I had pulled into a park about 4 blocks from my house. I wasn't tired and wanted to get some fresh air before being confined to such a small place (the car). So, I turned the car off and headed towards the swings.

I always loved swings. Whenever I was upset as a child I would just sit on the swings. I found them soothing. So that's how I found myself approaching the small swing set.

I plopped down on the swing, which was obviously not meant for a 17 year old, and swayed back and fourth. Just thinking. So much had happened today. My life was never this eventful.

"Shyanne?" I jumped at the sound of someone calling out my name. The person didn't sound like an old perv and obviously knew me so I turned to look at the culprit.

"Oh no," I sighed "please, Cameron. I really do not have time for this. Okay?"

He only smirked and sat next to me. "Time for what? Just wanted to say hello."

"Look. I know you said sorry and everything. But that doesn't mean I forgive you. You can't just treat me like shit then expect us to be friends. And its kind of creapy as shit that you're at a park past midnight, by yourself." I said in one breath. Just wanting to be alone. And also really pissed that he just all of a sudden is being nice to me.

"You're at a park past midnight alone." He pointed out. And I growled. He was so annoying.

"Yeah well I have a good reason to be."

"And who says I don't?" He quirked his eyebrow. 

And he had a point I guess. "Okay." I said. Completely giving up. "Why're you here then?"

He sighed. "Just needed to be alone. Swing sets have always been my safe haven."

And I laughed at that. But it wasn't because what he said was funny. This situation was just so weird and ironic that I just had to laugh. Of course I had to have something In Common with my bully. Of course he just happened to wander here this one night. Of course.

"What's so funny?" He asked. Completely neutral face. Not finding this amusing at all. 

"This." I said "you."

He was confused. I could see it on his face. Why wouldn't he be? I wasn't making any sense. Well not to him anyways.

"Why?" I laughed dryly. "Why can't I hate you?"

I didn't mean to say that. I didn't even realize that was true until it came out of my mouth. But it was. I just couldn't find it in me to hate this boy. I did hate him, but now I just. Don't. And I really wanted to.

Cameron didn't budge. He didn't look mad or confused or even happy. He just looked like he was thinking. He looked up at the stars and spoke up. Even though he knew I wasn't expecting an actual answer.

"Maybe its because you understand why I did what I did?" He questioned. Not necessarily asking me. Just thinking out loud. "Maybe now you can relate to me?"

He wasn't completely wrong.

"My mom kicked me out." I blurted.

It was hard not to. He seemed so understanding in this moment.  He seemed so trusting. And he was there. I just felt the need to tell someone. Even if that someone was my ex-bully who I wasn't sure I could trust yet.

He looked at me and raised his eyebrow and half smiled. He looked amused. Of course he was. I knew this wouldn't last. Bullies don't just change over night.

"You know what?" I chucked dryly. "Forget I ever told you that. I'm gonna go now."

"Wait." Cameron said and quickly stood in fro t of me so I couldn't walk away. "I dont find your situation funny."

"Why did you smile then?" I snapped.

"Its just, I never expected you to trust me with something like that. Kinda made me feel happy." He smiled.

"I only told you that because you were here and I needed to let it out." He only smiled wider.

"So you haven't even told your friends?" I shook my head. "You won't tell them either." I said sternly.

"Stay with me." He blurted. And I expected him to take it back or say he was joking. But he didn't do either of those things.

"Youre kidding?" I asked in shock.

There is no way I will live with my bully. No way. I don't t trust him. And I will not burden anyone with my presence. He hates me after all.

"No." He said, sounding so sure of himself, "Let me make up for all of the awful things I did." He pleaded.

"There's no way." I laughed, "no way."

"Please Shy," he sighed using my nickname "you don't even have to stay long but at least stay tonight. Its freezing out."

"Fine" I sighed. He was right. It was cold. And to be honest I was terrified of staying outside in my car. This town wasn't the safest to be alone in. But I would only stay tonight. He still wasn't to be trusted and even though I didn't hate him I still didn't like him.

"Well, come on then. Im Freezing."

Oml. Its been so long. Hello. Sorry for any spelling errors. I didnt edit this. So there are probably many errors.

Also I wasn't sure how to write this down. Like I had the idea in my head but had no idea how to write it down. So it didnt come out exactly how I wanted but it was close enough.

Hope it was okay though.

Please please coment and tell me how you feel about this. I really need some feedback to help me update.
