Chapter 18

~Camellia~

After we get done with all the baking and making the popsicles and cleaning we go to my room.

Jack sits on my butterfly chair staring at his phone while Kira, Jackie and I lay on my bed not doing anything at all.

Jack still has the camera rolling, it's on the camera stand in the corner and it's recording us lay here like this.

I should go check on the teenagers.

I get up to go check on the teenagers to see them all sleeping, the boys sleeping on opposite ends of the couch, while the girls were sleeping on the big bean bag in the corner.

I go back to my room and leave the door open so I can head them if they wake up.

"Where did you go?" Kira asked.

"To check on the teenagers, who are all sleeping." I answer her question.

I get back on the bed and eventually we all fall asleep.

*Waking up*

I wake up and look at the alarm clock.

It's 6:47 P.M., I never made lunch. Should I just make dinner then? I guess I should just make dinner now.

I get up, careful not to wake up the others and grab the other camera and camera stand.

I set the camera up in the kitchen and start working on dinner.

I make spaghetti for dinner since I didn't want to wake anyone up and ask what they wanted. I circle spaghetti for dinner on the menu.

And lay the menus out on the kitchen island and move the cupcake stands and the rest of the baked goods to the counter.

I check on the popsicles before checking on the teenagers and the three sleeping humans in my room.

I grab my phone and head back out to the kitchen. I take a seat at the kitchen island and go through my Twitter feed. I retweet a whole bunch of quotes and tweets before moving on to Instagram and looking through my feed on there and stalking people's profiles. I go to Snapchat and watch the stories of people. I watch Jack's Snapchat story and see that he was making a story of us in the kitchen, the caption read, 'filming a video'  and then after that was a picture of the three of us girls behind the kitchen island getting things.

*Bing*

I got a message, wonder who messaged me...

I go to my messages and see a name I haven't seen in the past two years.

Eric - Hey cupcake, I'm in NY and thought that maybe we should get together sometime to catch up, is there any chance you still live in the same house?

Me - Eric, hey! Uh.. I don't live in the same house anymore, my parents live there but I moved out a while ago

Eric - Oh, well is there a chance that you would want to meet up and catch up?

Me - I don't live in NY anymore I actually live in LA... I basically moved to the opposite state of NY

Eric - You live in LA?

Me - Yeah, remember? I told you that a dream of mine is to live in LA way back when we use to talk and before everything else happened

Eric - I don't remember

Me - Do you still live in Miami?

Eric - Yeah, I do. When was the last time we saw each other?

Me - Last time we saw each other was two years ago

Eric - Are you dating someone?

Me - No, are you still with Shauna?

Eric - Yeah I am, we actually have a daughter together

Me - Really? How old is your daughter?

Eric - She's two years old

Me - What's her name?

Eric - Camilla Jane Montgomery

Me - I bet she's an adorable little girl

Me - It was nice talking to you but I have to go and wake some people up now

Eric - Okay, we'll talk soon! Bye cupcake!!!

Me - Bye Eric

I send him the text and feel tears running down my face. I didn't even notice that I was crying. How long have I been crying? I put my phone down not bothering to exit the messages.

"Hey girly," I hear Jackie say before yawning.

I sniffle and wipe at my eyes before answering, "hey." I smile weakly at her.

"Have you been crying? Are you okay?" She comes over to me and hugs me. "What's wrong?" She asked.

"It's nothing, I don't even know why I'm crying, to be honest." I wipe at my eyes again.

"What time is it?" Jackie asks as she reaches for my phone.

"Eric? You were texting Eric? You were texting Eric. That's why you're crying, you're crying because of Eric." She hugs me again as more years fall.

"I honestly don't know why I'm crying about it, it's nothing." I tell her.

"Can I read your messages?" Jackie asked, I nod my head and she reached for my phone again.

She barely started reading it, when her mouth fell open.

"Hey girlies," Kira said as she came into the kitchen. "Cammie are you okay?" She came over to me and hugs me.

"Read this. Now." Jackie hands my phone to Kira

Kira reads the text messages with her mouth opened like Jackie.

When she finished reading she put my phone on the kitchen island.

They both hug me while I cry and wipe away as many years as I can.

They pull me up from my seat.

"Let's go outside, we'll walk around for a while." Kira suggested.

"I have to leave a note first." I grab some paper and a pen.

I wrote on the paper, Jackie, Kira and I are going for a walk, stay here and don't do anything stupid, Jack is here if you need something. Spaghetti for dinner, already made, get it yourself, noodles in the bowl on the counter and sauce is in the pot on the stove - Cam

I put it on the fridge and hold it up with a magnet.

I grab my phone and key before we leave.

They both grab their own phones and we leave the apartment, I lock the door and we leave the building.
