The Fading Girl// Cameron Dallas

TWENTY-FOUR

*2 weeks later*

NASH'S POV
Today was the day...the day where I read her essay to Cameron and her class I dressed in a black button down and black pants I thought it was acceptable I let out a deep breath before grabbing her paper and walking out. As I was walking to her class I noticed everyone looked down and almost in all black. I stood just watching everyone enter her class and then a breeze hit a cool, beautiful breeze I looked up at the sky smiling.

'Today's the day Jules' I said before looking back at everyone I noticed cam was standing by the tree she would always read at I walked over to him startling him a bit 'ready?' He shrugged his shoulders "I'm scared..." He said looking at me I nodded my head in agreement 'me too...c'monm' I said hitting his back a little and we walked in he took a seat in the back while I walked up to the front and stood by the podium.

I looked around to see everyone here I took a deep breathe before talking 'as we all know we lost a great soul 2 weeks ago and now she is happily free watching down on us, couple months ago her professor gave her an essay to do on love and as a great writer she did exactly that' I stop for a moment trying to gather myself. 'She's dedicated this to not only a friend but her true love that she never got to be with...she wrote here to my dearest Cameron I love with my all...don't forget it I look up to see Cameron with glossy eyes. I look down beginning to read.

When I look in his eyes I don't see perfection. I don't see a love story
That would necessarily be something people would watch on a big
Screen and dream about. I see someone who will fight for me and protect me
And love me and protect me in spite of all the ways I am still a wreck. I see home
Wherever he is that's my home. You are the risk I'll always take.

Love isn't always perfect. It isn't a fairytale or a story book.
And it doesn't always come easy.
Love is overcoming obstacles, facing challenges, fighting to be together,
Holdings on and never letting go.
It is a short word, easy to spell difficult to define, and
In possible to live without. Love is work, but most of all loves is
Realizing that every hour, every minute, and every second, was worth it because
You did it together.

To love you is to know you as no one can and to embrace you with all
Your imperfections. To love you is to cherish all the moments spent with you holding
You in my arms and close to my heart.
To love you is to feel all your caresses, kisses, and touches of soulful
Love. To love you is to fondly remember how we met, fell in love and how
Our love grew into a never ending bond to last a lifetime.
To love you is to realize that love like this happens only once in a lifetime
And that life without you would be no life at all. To love you is to know
That life is beautiful and worth living. To love is to feel so special.

"I love you" means that I accept you for
The person that you are and that I do not wish
To change you into someone else. It means that I
Do not expect perfection from you--just as you do not expect it
From me. It means that I will love you and stand by you even through
The worst of times.
It means loving you when you're in a bad mood or too tired
To do the things I want to do. It means loving you when you're down
Not just you're fun to be with. "I love you" means that I know
Your deepest secrets and do not judge you for them. Asking in return
Only that you do not judge me for mine. It means that I care
Enough for what we have and that I love enough not to let go. It means
Thinking of you, dreaming of you, wanting and needing you constantly,
And hoping that you feel the same way for me.

And when I met you...my heart sighed. The sigh radiated from the hole
In my chest, from that place that had never seen light, from that place
That had taken all of my joy and given me only loneliness. "There you are".
It said "you dont know how long I have been waiting
For you".

Love isn't practical. It isn't meant to be easy. It doesn't appear on command,
It doesn't let you fall for whom ever you'd like.
It surfaces neither at the most opportune moment nor in
The most convenient. It'll pair you with someone you might never have
Expected. It'll put you face to face with endless obstacles.
But in the end none of that will matter because it's how you overcome
It's obstacles that will define your love. It may not be practical
But love is ultimately the best thing that will ever happen to
You.

Be with someone who you don't have to hide from,
In any way whether it's your morning
Face, before you've put your makeup on, and embarrassing
Story to tell about something that happened on your way home
Or an ambition you've had since you were six...make sure you end
Up with someone who knows all of  it And still loves you. A person
You can tell your whole life to is a person worth spending a life with.

If you ever fall in love...fall in love with someone who wants
To know your favorite color and just how you like your coffee.
Fall in love with someone who loves the way you laugh and would
Do absolutely anything to hear it. Fall in love with someone who puts
Their head on your chest just to hear your heartbeat.
Fall in love with someone who kisses you in public and is proud to show
You off to anyone they know. Fall in love with someone who makes
You question why you were afraid to fall in love in the first place. Fall
In love with someone who would never ever want to hurt you.
Fall in love with someone who falls in love with your flaws and thinks
You are perfect just the way you are. Fall in love with someone who
thinks that you are the ONE they would love to wake
Up to each day.

The truth is, none of us are easy to date, deal with,
Or please all the time. We all have our vices, attitudes,
And way of doing things that make us who we are. You won't
Like everything about somebody, it's impossible.
This is life, it isn't about finding the perfect person, it isn't
About living some fairy tale; it's about finding something you're willing
To work for, with somebody who's willing to work with you.
That simple, find someone who has shears for you  and never
Stop fighting for them.

The best love is unexpected. You don't just pick someone and cross
You fingers it'll work out. You meet them by fate and its
An instant connection, and the chemistry share is way above
Your head. You just talk and notice the way their lips curve 
When they smile or the color of their eyes and all
At once you know you're either lucky or screwed.

The most beautiful part of loving someone
With a guarded heart is this: when they let you in, it's not because
They need you. They stopped needing people a long
Time ago. It's because they want you. They want to be part
Of your life. And that- that is the purest
Love of all.

P.S.~ Cameron I know you heard this and all of this
Is based on us I felt so alive with you. We met,
We talked, we flirted, I fell for you so I ask please hold
Me in your heart forever and never let me go.
I love you, yours truly juiliette.

Everyone clapped and I looked up to cam smiling with tears falling from his eyes he got up running towards me and engulfing me in a tight hug ''I love her so much" he whispered in my ear 'I know you do'
