It turns out that since I didn't kiss Cam, Tre did. He was the one who actually got divorced and he was the one who saw her first so I guess he jumped at the chance. She was coming home with us for the week, like she did with me, and I just hope Tre doesn't knock her up. I told him to remember to use protection and that to have sex with her he should seduce her at the beach. He thanked me for the advice. It worked apparently and he didn't get her pregnant. But he said was going to propose to her on New Year's. He swore he was in love with her. I was happy for them.
"That's a lie, and you know it." Jimmy said, appearing next to me. I was sitting on the beach where Cammy had agreed to have sex with me.
"Of course it's a lie. I seethe with anger every time I see them together, but what can I do? I'm her friend. I'm supposed to be happy for her." I put my face in my hands. "I just want my wife back. I want to go back to normal."
It's true. I'm most definitely feeling regret now. Regret that I ever wished for such a horrible thing. How could I ever not be with Cam? This past month without her is really tearing me apart. I miss her so much.
"Are you sure about that, Joe? If we go back, she'll hate your guts for ruining her sexy body. Is that what you want? A wife that hates you but is forced to stay with you because she can't take care of both your kids without you?"
"I don't care if she hates me! I just want her with me. I want to hold her and kiss her and have her play with my hair. I want my Cammy bear back. How do I go back, Jimmy? How? I know you hate me and you like playing games with me but you have to help me. Please? I'll go back to drugs if you want...just please. Bring her back."
His eyes widened at the mention of drugs and he was smiling from ear to ear hearing me beg. I don't care that I'm giving in to him, I just want my Cam back. I would die to get her back.
"Well, there is one cliche thing you can do."
"What? I'll do anything." I looked up at him in desperation.
"Make her fall in love with you before Tre proposes."
"It's not that simple, Jim." I put my face back down.
"I know. So you better start thinking, because you only have one day. If you can make her fall in love with you before the stroke of midnight then I'll send you back." He held out his hand. "Deal?"
I took it without hesitation. "Deal". He disappeared as soon as we shook and I saw Cam walking towards me.
"Thought I'd find you here." She said, sitting next to me. "So, what were you reaching for?" Shit...think, Joe, think.
"Oh, just my lost hopes and dreams." I joked. She didn't understand and stared at me in confusion. "I'm only joking, Cam." She continued to look at me, but now with concern.
"I don't think you are. What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I swear."
"Billie Joe Armstrong. You tell me what is wrong or so help me I will -"
I kissed her and cut her off. She didn't push away but I pulled away, hoping to make this as quick as possible. "You're what's wrong with me. I'm hopelessly, head over heels in love you with, Camren Doight."
She looked at me, shocked. Her eyes started brimming with tears and I reached out to give her a hug, but she pushed me away and ran off. Shit. What did I just do? Fuck! She'll probably tell Tre and he'll beat my ass. Then he'll tell Adrienne and she'll leave. That wasn't going to make her fall in love with me. What the fuck was I thinking? Now my life would be stuck in this shit hole of a nightmare.
New Years Eve...the next day
Cam has been avoiding me all day. Tre even told me that she didn't want to go to Adrienne and my New Years Eve party. When I asked why, he said she wouldn't tell him. He begged her to come saying it would make everyone really happy, especially him and she finally gave in as long as they left right after midnight. He said he would guarantee it and that he would make sure their New Year started off with a bang. Literally. Disgusted as I was, I was happy that Tre got her to come. I still had a chance to make it work with her.
"I'm kinda intimidated man." Tre said, sitting next to me on the couch. We were waiting for everyone else to bring in the food and Mike was in the bathroom. It was 11:30 pm.
"Of what? The rain?" I joke. It was raining really hard outside, like it was a hurricane or something. Luckily it wasn't and it was just a thunderstorm. My feelings right now.
"Of you." He was looking as the ground, avoiding my gaze. "She admitted to me that she liked you and that if you pulled a move on her she probably would've fallen in love with you instead." Before he could answer, he looked back up at me, a big smile on his face. "That's why I'm glad you didn't and you gave me a chance. It means a lot to me man." He pulled me into a big bear hug.
"Uh, don't mention it." I said, slightly hugging him back. We heard a crash and we pulled away from each other. Tre smiled, but was confused. I turned around and noticed why. Cam had dropped a tray of food and was about to cry.
"Baby?" Tre asked, standing up. She just ran out the door, getting looks of confusion from the rest of the gang who just entered the room. "I'll be right back."
I grabbed his shoulder. "Let me. You stay and clean this mess. I think I know what's going on." Tre nodded and let me go after Cam.
I burst through the front doors and noticed a figure sitting on the curb in front of my house. It was Cam. I walked up to her and sat next to her. She immediately got up.
"Leave me alone!" She screamed. I got up and grabbed her wrist. I pulled her towards me in a passionate kiss. She pulled away and started running. I ran after her. We ran until we were outside of Tre's house. I caught up to her and grabbed her wrist again. I turned her around but this time pulled her into a hug.
"Please! I love you, Zippy. I have since I met you. I don't know what stopped me from kissing you back when we were snowed in. I wanted to so bad. And if I did, I would've proposed to you in," I looked at my watched...11:57, "3 minutes. We would've gotten married. I'm sorry I didn't. But Cam, I love you so much and I'm sorry."
She pulled out of the hug and looked into my eyes, into my soul. "I love you too." And she wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me. I closed my eyes and deepened the kiss.
"My Cammy bear." I opened my eyes.
A/N
It didn't turn out too bad. I'm sorry if you cringed at the cliche ending. It was honestly what popped into my head. I hope you liked it. It was a cute little twist, in my opinion. By the way, still waiting on baby names. I think it's like a couple chapters away...like the next, next one is the labor chapter, but I haven't put much thought into it yet. Don't forget to leave comments and suggestions, and a vote if you want.
