Author's Note: So, I didn't really want to make Caroline seem like a completely horrible friend, because she's probably going to come in later, so I thought I'd provide you guys with her story. If you're wondering "Where's Nash?!" hang in there, because he's coming really soon. But trust me, Caroline's story is really good, she's not a bad friend! Love just sorta got the best of her... which I'm sure has happened to some of us.

I always liked Cameron. I liked him since I saw him and Claire always hanging out. I remember talking to him and instantly falling in love, instantly wanting him to be mine.

But I always knew I'd practically be screwed, always feeling hurt as far as my love life went. Because another thing I instantly knew from the start was that he was interested in Claire. And Claire liked him.

Claire had told me she liked him from when she first laid eyes on him. And that effect was pretty much the same for me. Things would have been different if Cameron didn't like Claire, because it would have been a better shot at making him mine, but I could always tell he really liked Claire, and the closest I could get to him was friends.

So I pretty much just backed off. When I hung out with Claire and him and I talked to him those moments were probably some of the best. But I never told Claire, or him that I liked him because I didn't want to make Claire angry and get in the way of them.

I always wanted to be really loyal to Claire. So I shut up. Even though I had adored him just as much as Claire. For as long as Claire was around I never really spoke up, I never really led anyone on to the fact that I liked him. Because I didn't want to disrupt anything.

But then, Claire moved away to North Carolina almost immediately after summer started. She was really torn and depressed about it because she was moving away from me, all her other friends... and of course Cameron.

And I felt really cruel thinking this, but I thought; This is my call. This is my chance... My chance to make my move. I really didn't want to hurt Claire so I felt so horrid thinking that but she never knew how much I loved Cameron as well.

I felt like I was taking advantage of her being gone, thinking like that. And I really wanted to confess to her that I liked Cameron... but I didn't. I ended up confessing to Cameron.

When he came over I was so very nervous because I knew he still liked Claire and was trying to keep the whole long distance relationship thing with her. But I couldn't help but smile every time I looked at him.

When we kissed, and talked, and laughed, and had what I would say was one of the best days of my life, it was like he fell in love we me once he knew he had the chance to, and we were meant to be. Like the two of us could defy anything. And I think in all those blissful moments that we had, we forgot that we might be hurting one of our closest friends.

He told me that he broke up with her that night, and I still did feel really bad for her, and I knew he did. For her it was probably almost as bad as the hurt I felt knowing the probability of Cameron being mine was so slim, but then I finally felt hope. She didn't know we both kind of liked each other now... I didn't know when she would know.

But I still kept it in my mind that I had always loved Cameron too, and the chance just kind of popped up... and I couldn't help myself. And I remember when I sent the text to him asking if he could come over, I was literally praying for him to just say yes.
