By the time I got home, my heart had finally stopped pounding in my chest and I could take a deep breath. I couldn't handle being in that stadium with Damon for a second longer while constantly having him watching Dallas drool all over me. It was hurting him and that was the last thing I wanted to do at this point. I mean for goodness sakes he dropped a pass, that is practically unheard of for him to do that. It was unfair of me to threaten his college career with this mess that I had created. I walked into my house to see my mom peering her eyes around the corner shocked to see me home when the big game had just started not too long ago. 

"Kam, honey, what are you doing home?" She asked curiously as she lifted her reading glasses to place them on top of her head and folded her gossip magazine closed. I walked down the hallway and plopped myself onto the couch and let out the longest sigh. I let my head fall into my hands and tears began to sprout at the corners of my eyes. All my emotions were swirling around me like hurricane winds at full force. They were tightly embracing every inch of me, hate, love, affection, anger, sadness, and longing for Damon's lips. 

"Mom I messed up pretty bad." I sighed leaning my back against the back of the couch wiping the few tears that had began their tumble down my cheeks. 

"And that is why you aren't at the football game right now I am assuming?" 

I shook my head slowly up and down as I kept my eyes shut, "That would be why yes." 

"Honey, I know no one likes to hear 'I told you so', but I did tell you to be careful." She slung her arm around me pulling me into the nook of her body.

"Mom, I know I know." I sighed, "Honestly the whole thing was just plain stupid and I got caught up in trying to crack someone's ego when it turns out their ego was just a plot." At least I had thought his ego was fake until the other night on the beach. 

"The plan?" 

"Yes the plan, the dumb plan where I was supposed to break Damon McAllister's heart by making him fall in love with me when the exact opposite happened."   

"So who got hurt here hun?" She asked. 

"Damon and me." I sat up straighter so I could think clearer. 

"Both of you?"

"Would I be mopping around if I was in a dapper mood?" 

"I suppose not." 

"I need to make things right mom, I need to him to know that even though it was a plan, that things actually did change." 

"That would be a great start honey." Mom landed over to plant a soft kiss on top of my head, "Just don't go telling your father the star of the football team likes you, he might try to drag you back to California". I smirked, mom always knew how to make light of the situation. I didn't want to go back to California. There was something about my little Lockport town that had embraced me and made me feel at home. Maine was home and I didn't want to leave. 

"I'll be back later mom, I have to go take care of some things." I stood up ready to tackle my next mission, I needed answers. 

"Oh lord, please don't hurt anyone." She laughed and I turned around to give her the tightest hug I could give her. 

"I can't make any promises, but if you get a call from the Lockport police, you might have to come bail me out of jail." 

"I'll be sure to keep my phone on loud, have a good night Kam."
