Chapter Seven
Jeremy stood in the doorway teary eyed “answer me” he yelled.
“What, Jeremy, no…” Blair looked stunned.
“Then what were you just talking about? Because last I checked, we’re dating and you just said you’re cheating on me” Jeremy was obviously holding back tears and anger.
“Well, Jere, I, uh…” Blair was stuttering frantically trying to figure out what to say.
“Jeremy, Blair was helping me out with some lines” I stood up
“What?” Jeremy said and Blair turned to me looking confused and grateful.
“I called Blair and apologized for last night, and she came over and we started talking and I told her I have an audition tomorrow and needed some help with my lines. One of the character’s names is Jeremy and he gets cheated on, you’re girlfriend here is a pretty good actor, not just a great model.” I smiled and walked over to Blair and put my arm over her shoulder.
“Really?” Jeremy asked looking at us suspiciously.
“Yes! Why would I lie to you?” I said walking over to him and giving him a tissue “now come inside.” I said pulling him in.
“I’m sorry” he ran over to Blair and picked her up in a hug and kissed her “I shouldn’t have jumped to conclusions.”
“Don’t worry, I’d never do that to you, I love you.”
Those words ‘I love you’ killed me, she didn’t love Jeremy, she didn’t even care about him all she wanted from him was his fame and publicity. And I knew, I had to live with the fact that I knew Blair was cheating on Jeremy, and it was all my fault.
“Well I have to go, I only came in to grab some stuff and I’m already late.” He picked up his gym bag and raced out.
“What was that?” Blair turned to me.
“Oh you’re extremely welcome. I mean I only stopped your boyfriend from finding out you’re cheating on him, but whatever.”
“Why would you do that for me?”
“Oh my god” I scoffed “you are so stubborn, I didn’t do it for you.”
“Then who?” there was silence for a few seconds “Jeremy? But why?”
“Because Blair, when you see people that you care about upset, you do what you can to let them be happy, even if it means lying to them…”
“You really love him, don’t you?”
“You can get out now.”
And without another word Blair walked out.
As I lay on my bed with my feet in the air Annette and Alicia walked in.
“Uh, what are you doing?” Annette asked standing in front of me.
“That’s her regret pose, she’s thinking whether she’s done something that she’s going to regret or if it’s something that is going to work out.” Alicia said opening the fridge and taking a swig of orange juice from the carton.
“Classy” Annette directed to Alicia “Cameron what’d you do?”
“Ugggghhhhhhh” I replied.
“She doesn’t like to be interrupted while she thinks.” Alicia said “and hey, you’re talking to a girl who had sex in a bathtub, one that wasn’t even mine, you honestly expect me to be classy?”
“You’re right what was I thinking. Cam, what did you do with Blair’s phone?”
I flopped my legs flopped down and I turned onto my side “I gave it back.”
“You gave it back? I wasn’t even half way done with getting through everything on her phone!”
“Yeah I gave it back. You want to know something else? I stopped Jeremy from finding out that Blair was cheating on him.”
“Why?” Annette asked.
“Yeah why didn’t you let her crash and burn?” Alicia added.
“Because, he just looked so sad… I just didn’t want him to be upset. Like he was crying and it just made me feel so bad.”
“Cameron” Annette sighed “what are you going to say when he finds out that she is cheating and you lied to him? What happens when he doesn’t speak to you because you didn’t want him to be upset even though you let him stay in a bad relationship? You should have just told him.”
“Gee, thank you so much for the support friends!”
“Cam she didn’t mean it like that…”
“You can both go, now.”
“Cameron! You can’t just dis us”’ Alicia was about to say more but Annette grabbed her and pulled her out of the room.
I got back into the ‘regret pose’ and stayed there for a few hours. “Uh, hey Cam” Jeremy said walking in “you okay… or?”
“Have you ever done something you thought was good, but is actually going to make things a whole lot worse?”
“What happened?” Jeremy walked over and sat next to me.
“I did something wrong and I’m scared the person won’t ever forgive me” I flopped my legs down on the bed.
“Look” Jeremy lay on the bed beside me “if this person doesn’t forgive you, then they’re not worth your time.”
“You say that now” I turned my back to him and faced the wall.
“Come here” Jeremy wrapped his arm around my waist “you’ll be fine, trust me. And if this person doesn’t forgive you they can talk to me”
“Haha, yeah” I sighed “thanks Jeremy.”
“No problem, I’m always here if you need me” Jeremy kissed me on the cheek and got up off my bed. “I’m so happy you and Blair made up.”
“Just because we made up doesn’t mean I like her, just letting you know” I laughed.
“Oh that’s right I forgot, only guys actually like their friends” he joked.
“That is extremely accurate.”
Jeremy and I played on his Xbox for a bit then Blair walked in, “hey Jere.”
“Hey babe.”
“Cameron.” Blair said coldly
“Blair” I said sarcastically.
“We should go out, like now” Jeremy said quickly.
“What happened to a night in?” Blair whined.
“Like you’d want a night in…” I said under my breath.
“I just really want to go out” Jeremy pleaded.
“Ugh, fine” Blair turned and walked out and Jeremy followed and winked at me before he left.
