“My mom and dad’s death anniversary is coming up in a month.” I say to my psychologist, Mrs. William.
“And how do you feel about that?” she says.
I shrug and look out the window from her office. I don’t want to visit my parents’ graves. It hurts too much.
“How many years will that be?” she said, trying to continue this conversation.
“Six.” I say coldly.
“Been that long?”
“Yes. And there’s not a day that goes by wishing I could change everything for them to be here.” I say.

“Cameron, get the fuck up.” Says Andrew as he comes into my room.
“No.” I said as I pull my covers to my face.
“We have to go get our college id’s renewed. And then I’ll take you for some lunch.”
“You had me at lunch. I’m up.” I say as I throw my covers off of me.
“Great. I’ll give you an hour to get ready.” He says and leaves my room.
I get from my bed and start picking my under garments and jeans and a t shirt from my drawers. I don’t want to be starting my second year at college. I hate school. I’ve always hated it. I hate being in a damn classroom learning boring ass shit that I don’t care about it. I turn on the knob to turn the water on and jump in. The water is warm and relaxing against my skin. I don’t know how long I stayed in the shower but it must’ve been a while. I hurry to put on shampoo and conditioner and once I’m out the shower, I dry myself quickly and my clothes on. I brush my hair and then put my navy converse on. As soon as I tell Andrew I’m ready, we head for the door and into his car. We stay pretty quiet for the ride to school which is only about 10 minutes away. We get out of the car once he parks and head to the building for registration and ids.
“I hope there are not a lot of people because I don’t have fucking time to be waiting.” I said as we enter the building for the student center.
“Relax.” Said Andrew. I rolled my eyes. He lightly pushed me and laughed.
“You are such a brat sometimes.”
“I just wanna go back to bed.” I said stubbornly.
We wait in line for our ids which actually goes fairly quickly and Andrew teases me and saying the “I told you so” speech. As we make our way towards exiting the building, I see my guy friends.
“CAMERON!!!” yells Niall.
“NIALL!” I say and run up to him and give him the biggest hug I could. Following him come Louis, Zayn and Liam. I hug Louis and Zayn and Liam pulls me off the ground and gives me one of those hugs and twirls around. I giggle and make him put me down. They also greet Andrew, as he’s also good friends with them. Actually he presented them to me before I came to college.
“What are you guys doing here?” says Andrew.
“Well, we came to get out ids renewed.” Says Zayn.
“Yeah and after this we gotta go pick up a good friend from the airport.” Says Liam.
“Aww, I wanted you guys to come eat lunch with us.” I said in disappointment. They are all European guys so they go back home for the summer and I haven’t seen them since school ended.
“That’s okay. We’re having a party tonight in my apartment so you guys should definitely come by. Should be fun.” Says Louis. We agree to it and hug each other again and make leave the building and drive to a small Italian restaurant and eat lunch there. Andrew and I talk about school and my classes I’m taking and just nagging me that I should better this year. ‘
“I just don’t want you to fall back in your studies like you did last year.” He says.
“I know.”
“You said that all last year and you didn’t do anything about it until I got on your case.” He says calmly as he pays for the lunch. I stay silent. “I also don’t want you to be preying for another guy you could have fun with.”
“I just like messing with their minds.” I smile evilly.
