Perfect Strangers

Prologue

-
Warning: This is a small part from the book. So you'll see this part again in one of my chapters. The only different is that I will be writing that part in the present and there will be another part to read before or maybe after this.

Since it's my birthday I decided to publish this book for you guys! You all have waited long enough for this.

This is a different kind of book from all my other books so I hope this is okay? Let me know what you think! Enjoy :)

Prologue
Cameron Asher

Suddenly breathing seemed to get harder and harder. Before I knew it, I took his soft and mint smelling sweater in my fists while I desperately looked at him.

"You did what?" Came out as a soft whisper.

You could certainly hear my voice cracking, but right now I couldn't care less about that.

Tears slowly started to form in my eyes which I blinked away as soon as I could. I looked at him while shaking my head in nothing but denial.

He couldn't have done this. He certainly wasn't like this. I risked everything and everyone for him. And I thought that he was the right person for me. I thought that I finally found him, the one for me.

But I was wrong.

"C-Cam, it's n-not what i-it looks l-like" He said as a tear slowly left the corner of his eye.

Denial, that was the only thing that kept me from falling and tearing down. He loved me and couldn't do this to me just like I couldn't do this to him.

I couldn't feel anything anymore. It was like his words made everything permanently stop around me. But if I though more about this, it felt like I could break down at any minute from now.

That was the effect he had. That was the power that only Skylar had on me and he knew that all too well. Or else he would have never used this against me..

And after a while everything did stop around me. I couldn't hear anything anymore. The only thing that I could hear was my own furious heart beat that became louder and louder in my own ears. I didn't see anyone moving as if everything slowed down for a moment.

"No, n-n-n-no you don't mean that! You wouldn't do that to me, not after everything" I laughed hard and emotionless as if everything was one big joke, still in the same denial phase.

With denial I kept shaking with my head. How could he do this? How could he actually let it come so far? I never thought he could ever do this,

But like my own words fired back at me, appearances are deceptive. Only at this very moment I didn't think it was so beautiful.

If one of us would screw anything up then it would have been me, but no. It was him instead.

And then like switching a lamp on, my denial suddenly took a turn towards total aggression.

"How could you!" I screamed while I held back my tears and my grip on his sweater had suddenly gotten tighter.

I didn't care that other people could hear me anymore. The only thing that I did was focusing myself on were the good moments, every moment when he just lied straight to my face and that was just too much for me to handle.

Now don't you cry like the loser you are Cam, you may've lost everything, but you're still Cameron Asher.

I didn't want to tolerate myself crying in front of him. I tried everything in my power not to give in. He maybe played and betrayed me, but this was the only thing that I could keep from him. I will never give him a fully chance to embarrass me in front of the entire school even though he already did that by now. This was the only thing that he wouldn't get from me. He would never see how much this got to me and how much this really affected me.

Don't cry Cameron, you fucking loser.

He didn't need to know that I could break down at any minute, but then again I already knew that he could figure this out on his own.

From the first day that we ran into each other I should've just beat him up. If it wasn't for me being a coward back then this would've never happened. I let his stupid light and shiny blue eyes play me.

"Cameron, p-plea-"

"Don't call me that! I gave you everything, I literally gave everything up for you! My reputation, my future, my past and even Nina. What the hell do you want more?!" I yelled angry while I shook him by his shoulders with every word that left my mouth, hoping this would get through this thick skull.

Don't cry Cameron.

The view of his face with so many tears would normally hurt me and it did. Yet, the anger took the best of me and I only saw this huge black hole consuming my actions over my feelings.

With so much hope I thought that this all could be one big joke. I kept looking at him, hoping he would just tell me that this indeed was a horrible joke so I could tackle the bastard to the ground, hugging the hell out of him, taking in his sent, telling him how much I actually cared about him.

Telling how much I loved him.

But even the most hopeful people knew that this wasn't the case at all.

With all the strength that I had left, I wanted to kick, smash and just ruin him.

Just as bad as he ruined me in that certain moment.
