Project MC2: Southwood Academy

Camryn /Four\

I'm sorry about this chapter, I had an awful case of writers block on the Bryden chapter I'm sorry it sucked. I've had an idea about this one. Enjoy.

I felt bad for Michael.

He saw me as a love interest, and I saw him as more of a brother figure. I've never been a 'head over the heels for a guy' type kind of gal.

McKeyla's been hitting it off with Luke, though. I'm happy and sad at the same time about that.

"Cam?" I heard Michael say behind me. "Are you alright?" I sighed and shook my head. I didn't need a boyfriend, I needed a friend.

He passed me a bottle. A prescription bottle. I tossed it back to him, only to have it tossed back to me. "What on earth is this?"

"Depression meds. I got counselor Adams to prescribe them for you." He shrugged, as if it were nothing. He plopped down on the couch beside me.

"Um, I'm not depressed, you ignorant fool!" I snapped at him. "How dare you give me drugs to stop 'depression'?!"

"You need someone to love." He said blankly. "And I'm trying to be that for you! You need someone to make you feel safe!"

"You don't make me feel safe!" I chucked the pill bottle at him. "You make me feel like some mental case that needs meds to calm herself down!"

"What do you want from me, Camryn?!" Michael yelled at me. "Because you don't want to eat, sleep, or even feel!"

"Feel what? That my friend, who clearly doesn't know what he's doing-" he cut me off. He hands were cupping my face, and kissing me.

I didn't respond at first. Ah, I see what he's trying to do. Make me feel. Not gonna work. I put my hand on his chest, backing him up.

He made a surprised face, then he left. Micheal slammed the door so hard the whole room shook.

McKeyla rushed in with Luke. Just seeing Luke reminded me of what I didn't have. I crumpled to the floor, collapsing in a hicupping sob.

McKeyla said the Luke should leave, and he just nodded. She helped me up off of the floor and told me to follow her.

"Where are we going?" I muttered. She just looked ahead. I kept tugging on her arm. Finally I spun her around. "Where are we going?" I asked again.

"To someone that can help you!" She turned around again and pounded on a dorm door.

Harry answered it, seeing me and letting us in. McKeyla waltzed back out and shut the door. "Good luck!" I heard her muffled voice through the door.

"Niall, put Frozen on for Camryn." Harry demanded. Niall looked up from his iPad.

"Why me? Why can't you do it?!" Niall whined. Harry rolled his eyes, shooting me an apologetic glance, before turning back to Niall.

"Just do it! God, why can't you do it?! Get off your lazy bum and turn the TV on! I already put the bloody disc in the player!" Harry sighed.

"Fine, but I'm calling Adrienne. She gets this kind of treatment from her mates, she will understand." Niall pulled his phone out of his pocket.

"Who told you that?!" I stood up, and Harry pulled me back down. He kept me there, while I was still squirming to get up again.

"Adrienne did. You know what, I'm gonna head over there. She would love to see me!" Niall said proudly. He exited, leaving me alone with Harry.

"Why am I even here?" I shifted uncomfortably in my seat. Harry sat down again.

"It's not just me," Harry said, opening the door again. "Come in, guys." Bryden, Calum, McKeyla, and Ashton walked in.

Bryden sat down next to me. Ashton sat across from Bryden, and Calum sat down across from me. McKeyla and Harry sat facing each other.

There was an awkwardness between us at first, and finally Harry spoke up. "Alright everyone, you've all been looking a bit upset about something lately. So, we have a share circle. Calum, you're up first.",

Calum talked about how he was jealous of Niall and Adri's relationship. Bryden talked about the meaning of the word 'love' between her and Ashton. She said it stressed her out. Ashton said the same.

"Alright, Camryn." Harry said. "Your turn." I took a deep breath and started.
