I woke up to Alex's strong arms wrapped around me. The sunlight crossed my face, and the warmth felt amazing.

His embrace was more inviting than ever, and I didn't ever feel the need to leave. That was, until someone knocked on our door.

The knock came loud and clear, startling Alex from his sleep. He quickly jumped up and threw a shirt on. I rolled my eyes at him wearing a shirt. For some reason It seemed nicer when he wasn't wearing one.

I followed close behind him as he stepped towards the door and unlocked it. When the door opened, Cameron appeared with all of his bags sitting beside him.

"CAMERON." I yelled. Without thinking I quickly jumped onto him, wrapping my legs around his tiny body. He squeezed his arms around me, and spun around, as if he was excited to see me.

"I miss you so much." I dropped my legs when I seen he'd brought his girlfriend with him. I brush my shirt off, as she stepped in behind him. A pissed off look was drawn across her face.

"What are you doing here?" Alex asked sleepily. I had thought the same question, but the sight of Cameron threw my brain everywhere.

"The modeling agency found out about Meredith, and fired me." He stood on his tip toes rocking back and forth, trying not to make eye contact with me.

"Oh, Mack, this is Meredith." Cameron allowed her inside before stepping inside himself. Alex closed the door, and the two walked in taking a seat on the couch. Meredith, with her belly already showing, didn't seem to even try to give me the slightest look.
"Mer, this is Mackenzie."

"And this is the new addition." Cameron placed his hand softly onto Meredith's belly, smiling. I guess he had come to terms with the child he'd be bringing into the world.

The room became quiet.
"You can talk to me, I'm not going to try and steal your boyfriend." I looked at Meredith after saying this, and her eyes narrowed on me.

"Trust me, anything that looks like you wouldn't have a chance any way."

"Hey." Alex said furrowing his eyebrows. He stood up from his seat beside me, and placed his hand on the side of my arm.

"It's okay, I already had him once, sad to get the sloppy seconds isn't it?" My attitude levels were raging. Cameron gave me a death glare as if it was my fault.

"Please. Don't fight." Cameron stood up in between us. His eyes moved from Meredith to me, then back to Meredith.

"It's not my fault your ex-girlfriend is jealous of us, baby." Meredith grabbed at his finger that hung beside him, and pulled him closer to her. She intertwined their fingers, and gave me a smirk.

"I'm not jea-"

"Mack." Cameron said. "Don't."

"But I'm not jealous of you! Or her!" Alex wasn't defending me at this point, and I couldn't let them both feel like they had won. I wasn't jealous. I was mad because of the way she acted. How she was.

"Cameron she's a bitch!" My voice became higher, and I was on the verge of tears. Anger filled my body, from toes to the top of my head. I stood up pointing at her as the words left my lips.

"MACKENZIE." Cameron yelled back at me. He released his grip from Meredith's hand, and wiped his face. "YOU'RE BEING THE BITCH."

"Cameron." Alex growled. "Chill out." Alex stepped in front of me, and was now face to face with Cameron.
Cameron's face flushed with red, and I felt the tears escape from my eyes.

"No, Alex. It's okay. He's right. He's right..." I stared down at the floor.
"Mack." Cameron started but I stopped him.

"No, you're right. Alex, I'm sorry that you're standing here defending me when you shouldn't be. Meredith, I'm sorry that I love Cameron. I'm sorry that I just wanted a little piece of my best friend because that's how it's always been. And Cameron, I'm sorry that I just wanted you to be my bestfriend. I'm sorry that I didn't leave you alone, and I'm sorry that I'm not, nor was I ever good enough for you."  I listened to what I said over and over again in my head, hoping that I said whatever needed to be said. Cameron didn't know what to say. He stood in front of Alex and I, with his mouth wide open.

"Mack babe." Alex said reaching to hug me. I pushed away. I felt the darkness coming back. I felt the sadness coming back. The blankness, and numbness clouding back over me. I went into my room, and locked the door.

I knew they would soon be behind me, but I needed a short amount of time to get my thoughts together. I wished Sierra were there. She had found an apartment with Brent, and was on bed rest due to her pregnancy.

"Mack." Cameron's voice slipped through the door.
"Let me in."

"No, I told you what I needed to say. She's your girlfriend, it's your baby Cameron. No." I leaned my head against the wall near the door.

"But I didn't get to talk." Just like the many times before, I could hear the sadness in his voice. I told myself not to believe his voice. But I couldn't help but let my hand reach up and unlock the door.

He walked in and shut it behind him, locking it once again. By now I had sat down with my back against the wall, and he joined me.

"You were good enough for me. You still are baby." He leaned in to kiss me, but I stuck my hand in his face pushing him away.

"Cameron.. I'm with Alex. You have a girlfriend, and a baby. Why do you keep calling me that?.. Why do you keep trying to kiss me?" I was alarmed. He just defended his girlfriend, but then wanted to kiss me.

"Because. Everytime I see you, I can't help but remember that first night when you came into my room, and helped me fix my window. You saved my ass." He chuckled at the memory and then continued. "I fell so hard for you. And I still do."

"Then maybe you should've thought about that before you had Sex, and got her pregnant." I retorted. He can't be with another girl, get her pregnant and expect me to take him back.

"Please don't be like this." He pleaded.

"Then stop teasing me Cameron! Stop acting like you can just come back to me whenever you want and I'll just drop it all! That's not how it works!" I stood up and walked towards the window. I didn't want to look at him. I knew if I did I'd fall back into it.

"You know Cam, I used to think that you were my heaven. But now, I see the real view. I'm your heaven, but maybe... Just maybe.. you're my hell."
