Besotted // Cameron Dallas

dog park

Once we get back to Cameron's house, I slam his car door. I can't believe I almost thought I could have a normal teenage night. It was stupid of me to even want something I can never have. All of these kids I grew up with are going to completely ignore our childhood and go straight to their assumptions. It's worse for me than they will ever understand.

"Careful, this is my baby." Cam laughs and pats the hood before walking beside me.

I give him a weird look, wondering why he's being nice. I shake it off and walk to the door, opening it and waiting for Cameron to come in behind me, only, he doesn't. I frown and look back outside to see him lying in the grass.

"What are you doing?" I walk back over to him.

"Just lay next to me." He ignores my question.

My heart is jumping out of my chest, wanting to do as he says and enjoy every second with this gorgeous boy I love. My brain, on the other hand, is asking why in the world would he want me close to him for no reason at a time in the night like this.

Finally, I shrug and lay next to him and see all of the stars above us in the clear sky.

"Sometimes I like to come outside and look at the stars. I know a ton of constellations and always point them out." Cameron smiles to himself.

Is he like drunk?

"Do you ever wonder if they are watching over us?" He turns to me now.

"Who?" I frown, oblivious.

"Mia, Mason, and Rob." Cameron looks at me before staring at the sky.

I just stare blankly back at him. Of course I've always wondered that. I think about them all the time. All I do is shake my head and stand up, brushing off my dress and heading inside.

Cameron didn't call for me or anything like that, he just let me go. And for that I'm entirely grateful. He would've seen me cry.

I woke up the next morning by the nice comfort of the Dallas' guest room mattress. I instantly smelled breakfast being cooked downstairs and remembered I actually made it to the weekend. Though, I should enjoy myself in bed right now, I have to get up and feed my dog.

I get up and walk to the en suite bathroom, brushing my teeth and hair before sliding on a pair of jean shorts and a loose Los Angeles t-shirt. I remember seeing the news earlier in the week to say it will be hot today.

When I make my way downstairs and go straight to the door. I stop to slip on my converse when a voice keeps me.

"Where are you going?" Sierra frowns at me.

"Hey, I'm just running next door to feed Hunter and let him out." I shrug.

She smiles. "Oh, well hurry back. I made breakfast."

I grin and walk across the yard, hearing my dog bark when I unlock the door. There's a note in the mailbox when I open it, so I take it with the rest of the mail to set on the table. I feed Hunter and let him out to go to the bathroom in the fenced backyard. While he's out, I sit down to read the mysterious note.

'I know you're staying with Cameron and his family while yours is gone. I bet he's too scared to sleep at night knowing that he can be murdered and have the murderer get away with it. Lots of hugs and kisses -Sophia. '

I huff out a breath and let Hunter in before leaning my head back when tears threaten to fall. This definitely wasn't my first hate note, but it got me more than the others.

"I'll be back bud, maybe we'll go to the dog park." I kiss Hunter and walk outside, locking my door to be safe and going back to the Dallas'.

"Good to see you're awake." I hear as I walk into the kitchen behind Cameron.
