Ali's P.O.V
It's been four days since my dad came home and it's been great so far. I said I wanted to make the most of our time together and that's what I've been doing, I've taken the last few days off school so I can spend time with him. I know that seems bad but I never get to see him.
I woke up on Thursday morning really tired from the night before, I stayed up until 3am talking to my dad and catching up
My mom said last night that I had to go to school today because I haven't been since Monday and I'm missing out on school work
I lazily got dressed into some sweats and a t-shirt with a cap. I went downstairs and grabbed some toast and headed out the door as I was already running late.
I got to school a few minutes after the bell rang and first period had already started. I headed to the office to get my late slip and then proceeded to my locker.
After I was finished at my locker i began to head to my first class but I ran into Cameron on the way
"Hello stranger" Cameron smiled as he walked towards me
"Hi baby" I smiled leaning in for a kiss
"Where have you been the past few days, I've barley heard from you" he said seeming concerned
"I took a few days off to spend with my dad" I smiled
"Al, you can't not come to school" Cameron said
"I can if I haven't seen my dad for nearly a year" I said back cheekily
"I understand that you miss him, but it's senior year, you can't afford to miss too much school" he said worryingly
"Cameron your not in my situation, you don't understand what it's like, so leave me alone about it okay it's my decision, I'll do what I want" I said back angrily
"I'm just concerned about you okay, I want you to continue to be great at school" he said calmly
"I'm fine okay, don't judge my situation with my dad when you don't even have one for yourself" I said anger boiling over me.
I don't know why I'm acting like this it's all just coming out, I don't mean to sound harsh but he can't judge my situation when he's never experienced it
"What the fuck Ali, stop talking to me like that" he replied shocked at my behaviour
"You know what Cameron, just leave me alone" I said beginning to walk away from him
"Fine, I just won't talk to you" he said back walking back to class
"Good" I yelled back at him.

It was after school and I was standing outside my car talking to lea, telling her about what happened with Cameron earlier on
We haven't talked to each other since our argument and honestly I hated it, but he basically gave out to me for spending time with my dad
"He's just concerned for you Ali, there's nothing wrong with that, he is your boyfriend after all" lea said after I finished explaining to her what happened
"Yeah but.....ugh I don't know, it was really immature wasn't it" I said sadly
"Not really, you guys just need to talk about it, but I'm with Cameron when he says you can't miss anymore school just to see your dad" she smiled giving me a hug
"I'll talk to him later, thanks lea" I smiled
"No problem hunny, I'll talk to you later" she smiled and walked off to her car
I got in my car and drive home. I could t help but feel bad for what happened with Cameron and for what I said to him about his dad, that was so horrible of me.
I needed to see him and apologise to him in person.
Once I got home I ran up to my bedroom completely ignoring my mom calling me from the kitchen.
I grabbed a few things from my room before going downstairs again and began to walk out the door to go over to Cameron's house
"Ali come here please" my mom yelled from the kitchen
"Mom can this wait I need to go to Cameron's house" I yelled back walking towards her
"No it can't, now come here please" she said sternly
I walked into the kitchen and seen my mom standing at the island while Kian and Emily where sitting at the table and my dad was standing on the middle with his uniform on
"I'm sorry al, they called me yesterday, it's time I go" my dad apologised
"But you just got home" I said tears threatening to spill from my eyes
" I know but we all knew it was only going to be for a few days" he said sadly
"I love you" I said crying while engulfing him in a hug
"I love you too"
After 15 minutes my dad said that he had to go, my mom dropped him to the airport, I didn't want to go, that was always my least favourite part of my dad coming home, seeing him walk off again.
I stayed in my bedroom and laid on my bed crying my eyes out while clinging to a picture of my dad and I.
A few moments later I felt the bed dip beside me. I turned over and seen Cameron lying beside me.
I engulfed him in a hug and continued to cry while he repeatedly kissed my head and rubbed my back
"I'm so sorry for what I said earlier and how I acted" I cried
"Don't even worry about it, I'm sorry too, I should of realised how important spending time with him was" he said back while kissing my head again.
