Chasing Cameron in Real Life

I'm so proud of him. Last night, Chasing Cameron aired on Netflix and #ChasingCameron is trending on Twitter. We were all up waiting for it to premiere and when the clock hit midnight, the boys went crazy. All of them started posting videos on their numerous social media accounts to tell people to watch the show and to watch Cameron on Good Morning America.

We head to the studio still psyched about the show. Cameron had to go out and talk about his show until the commercial break, so we wished him good luck. I watched behind the camera as Cam wrote Good Morning in cursive for the whole world to see. I quietly chuckle and continue watching the show.

Afterwards, we went to the top of the Empire State Building. It's wasn't that fun because there was so much fog. I shiver, pulling my coat tighter around me. Cameron comes over noticing that I'm cold.

"Wanna go inside?" He offers.

"Sure,"I reply and we head inside.

We both go into the gift shop as the others come inside. Aaron finds a license plate with his name on it and buys it for himself. I laugh knowing my name isn't on any license plate in the world that I know of.

"C'mon Verity, we're leaving," Willie says as the guys get in line for the elevator.

I sigh and join them waiting. Cam started a snapchat video with all his friends, but I didn't want to be in it. He turns his camera in my direction anyway and tells me to say hi to the camera.

"Cam, stop," I whined holding my hand up to block the light coming from his phone.

He flips the camera back to selfie mode and comes over still filming.

Cameron kisses me on the cheek and says,"Aww it's ok, I love you."

The video stops and he posts it on snapchat. I was flattered, but knew he didn't like me like that, so I yelled at him. The whole time while we were in the elevator.

"Cameron Alexander Dallas, what made you think that was ok? You know I don't like you like that, and I know you don't like me like that! What came over you? Did you do it for the publicity? No, you did for yourself because you don't care about what happens to others. You care about how it affects you and your reputation. I maybe wouldn't have minded that you kissed me, but you just had to go and post on snapchat for the whole world to see."

He stays silent the whole time I rant. When we get back to the hotel and we're alone in his suite, he explains it all to me.

"Look, I'm really sorry Verity. The guys dared me to kiss–"

"How much?" I inquired.

Cameron hesitated knowing I wasn't going to like what was coming next.

"20 dollars." He says bracing himself for my response, but I do nothing.

"Well, that went better than expected." Cameron speaks feeling accomplished.

I looked down a bit hurt that I was only worth $20.
Cameron noticed this and came over taking hold of my hands.

"Hey, don't be sad. They don't think half of the time." Cam remarked.

We just sat there for a while until a light lit up in Cameron's head.

"Hey, why don't we try it?" He asks.

"Try what?" I said very confused.

"The whole dating thing, just for fun?" Cameron said pleading with me.

"But, I don't know Cam, do you even like me like that?" I asked still hesitant.

"You don't think I do?"

"Well, no. Not really."

"Why do you think that?"

"Because you never once acted like you had an interest in me. We were always best friends. The line was drew there."

"Who drew that line? I certainly thought you never liked me that way."

Was it time to tell him? Should I actually tell my best friend I've liked him since the day we met?

"Well, Cam, I guess I did. I never really thought you liked me as more than a friend, so I cut it off before I became too attached. But I've been attached to you since that day I've meet you. Cameron Dallas, I love you. I love you so much."

I waited for his response while he thought this through. I could totally tell he wasn't expecting this.

He runs his hand through his hair while the other hand is still in mine.

"I never knew you felt this way," he said,"but..."

He stopped obviously still in shock that I said I love you.

"Let's do it." Cam grinned. "Let's try this dating thing, and if it doesn't work out, we'll stop."

"Do you feel the same way about me Cameron?" I asked. If he said yes or I love you I'd maybe be more willing to do this. But if he says no... it's all for nothing.

Again, he stopped. He was starting to worry me. What if he actually didn't feel the same way? Did I just confess my feelings for him to gain nothing?

"Yes. I love you, Verity." Something's flashed across his face, but it was too quick for me to tell what it was. I didn't worry too much about it. Cam never lies to me. Then he flashed his famous smile that every single one of his fans would kill for.

"So do you think we should do this?" I ask still not fully on board.

Reassuringly, he says,"I promise it'll be fun."

I smile as we interlock our hands and lay down on the bed.

"Goodnight," I say still beaming.

"Goodnight," He says emotionlessly and started to browse through his Instagram.

I go to sleep next to Cameron praying that this relationship will work out in the end.
