broken promises ♡ c. d.

New Year's Eve

Cam and I cross the street and go into the pharmacy. He wanted a pack of Sour Patch Kids, and since there wasn't any in his apartment, we drove to the nearest drug store. Cam also wanted to go to a concert tonight, so we invited Sierra, Brent, and some of Cameron's friends to come with us.

But lately, Cameron hasn't been much of a "boyfriend." He really hasn't said "I love you" at all to me since the day he kissed me on the cheek. And whenever I bring up our relationship, he always changes the topic. I wish he would just talk to me, but he's being so stubborn.

I ran to the candy aisle and picked up a pack of Sour Patch Kids as Cam headed to the back of the store to pick up a New Years card to give to his sister. I went back up front where the check out line was.

Cam shortly joined me there after, but I realized I forgot to pick up a gift for Sierra. I headed to the gift card rack then jogged back.

But when I saw Cameron again, a small group of girls were around him. I thanked God there wasn't a mob and went over to put the gifts on the counter.

My heart plummeted when I saw Cameron kiss a fan girl. I know that she's only a fan, but I was mostly sad about how, without thinking, Cameron just kisses her. I'm his so called "girlfriend" and he hasn't kissed me.

Almost crying, I broke up the group of girls.

"Sorry girls, Cameron has places to go and people to see." I rush him out and in the corner of my eye, I see him turning to face the girls mouthing "I love you" to them. Before I could think, a tear slipped down my cheek.

We silently placed the bags in the back seat of the car. Once we have our seat belts buckled, I break the silence.

"Cameron," I said soothingly,"this isn't going to work out and you know that."

"What's not gonna work out?" He says scrolling through his YouTube channel.

"Our relationship!" I yell making him jump.

"Why are you so touchy?" He rolled his eyes.

"You don't get it, Cam. You kissed a fan."

He tries to interrupt me to say what I already know, but I stop him continuing what I was saying.

"Yes, I know she was only a fan and I know that you can't afford to be rude to fans, but I'm supposed to be your girlfriend! You haven't kissed me like you would your girlfriend. You haven't done anything like you would if you were in a relationship! Cam, we jumped into this too soon. We should..." I trail off not wanting to say what I was about to.

"Just be friends?" Cam finishes looking defeated.

"Yeah." I say, trying my hardest to stay strong. I never wanted this to happen. He deserves better than me and I wish him the best of luck.

"I'm sorry, Verity. I'm not use to being in a relationship. It'd be best if we just stayed friends." He smiled and reached towards the passenger seat to give me a hug. I squeezed him almost letting another tear slip. He truly doesn't know how much he means to me. I sigh as Cameron starts the car. We head back to his house and I dread the awkward car ride there.

Fifteen minutes later we arrive at the house singing "She Bad" in his car at the top of our lungs. The car ride was way better than I thought it would be. Surprisingly, it wasn't awkward at all. We basically talked about different things until "She Bad" came on.

"She a good girl, but you know she bad though!" I sing not caring how bad I sound.

"One time!" He puts one finger in the air and holds the bag from the store in the other.
