My Only hope

Chapter 8: The Morning After

The next morning I wake up with a huge headache. I look at my alarm clock to find a pair of panties draped over it, so i move them to see it's eleven in the morning. I try to sit up, but something is holding me down. I look and find an arm draped over my bare waist. Why don't I have any clothes on?

I now am both scared and curious and look to to see the owner of the arm. My heart about stops when I see Cameron asleep in the bed next to me. What the hell is wrong with me?!?!? I slept with my ex-boyfriend/ worst enemy. I fling his arm off my body and wrap a blanket tightly around my body. This causes him to wake up, sit up, and look at me confused. I reach over and slap him with all my strength.

"What the hell was that for. I give you a goodnight, so when I wake up you smack me," he says rubbing his eyes. He looks around the room and realizes where he is. Cam looks over at me with wide eyes. "There is no way in hell I slept with you."

"You did, but in your defence we were both really drunk," I say mentally slapping myself for sleeping with him.

"Please tell me I used a condom," he says putting his pants back on. "Or at least birth control."

"Yes, we used both. Going off subject, have you been working out," I ask gesturing to his shirtless body. I definitely still have a little buzz from last night.

"Yeah, thanks for noticing. Are you still a little drunk, sick, or going crazy," he asks watching me thrown on a t-shirt and sweat pants. "I remember that shirt. I didn't think you kept it."

"A little bit of both and I kept the shirt because it's my favorite pajama shirt."

"Cool, and by the way, you still make the shirt look good. And now I'm going crazy," he says with a smile. I haven't seen that smile in years.

"Thanks Cam. Can I ask you something crazy?"

"Go ahead cutie, by the way you can keep the shirt I wore last night as a souvenir."

"Have you ever considered giving us another chance? I know it's stupid, but we have been so friendly this morning and I kinda miss this," I say looking him directly in the eye.

"Sure I have, but I don't think you would ever agree to it. Look at what I have done to you in the past. I've cheated on you, beat the snot out of you, attempted to rape you twice and now I made love to you while at your godbrothers party. If they find me here with you-,"

I all of a sudden fall asleep, leaving him to talk to himself. I feel him lift me up, set me down on my bed, kiss my forehead, and cover me up with a blanket. Before I hear the door open, he whispers "Goodnight, we will try to be friends next time we meet" and with that he leaves.

A few hours later, I wake up and go down stairs. Walking into the living room, I see Kevin in my spot so I go sit on his lap. He gives me a hug and starts rubbing my back.

"So, you slept with Cameron huh?"

I nod and put my head on his shoulder. He wraps his arms around me and starts rocking side to side. After awhile I look up at him and poke him so he looks down at me.

"Where are the other guys," I ask quietly.

"Ethan and Tom went to bring their girlfriends home and the other guys are sleeping with an arm around their girlfriends. The important question is are you and Cameron back together," says as I sit up.

"No, but we are going to try to be friends. I dont have the energy to deal with it."

"Did you hear that Tom's new girlfriend is Cassidy?"

"No, but thanks for reminding me of pain," I say falling backwards on the couch.

"Sorry Mel, I didn't know you had feelings for him. Is there anyone else you like, maybe I can set you up."
