Love At First Sight (A Cameron Dallas Love Story/Fan Fiction)

Chapter 24 -Surprises-

Today I finally become a nineteen year old. I don't know if I should be happy or sad about that. My parents kept urging me to go along with a party to celebrate, as always. But I'm not feeling it this year. Maybe it's because of the past events. I'm not sure I want to be surrounded by people yet. Although I found out yesterday that Katelyn was coming back from NYC! She left two months ago to go to college, she even came over to say goodbye. But then again I was stubborn and I didn't make much of it. I was too caught up in my problems. That's the past though. And I'm getting over it. So having my best friend fly back home for my birthday made me extremely happy.

I fell back onto my bed, as the music in the background kept playing. About an hour or so until Katelyn has to get picked up from the airport. I wasn't sure what to do to keep myself busy. I even tried cleaning my room, but that just got boring. I did in fact rearrange my room. I moved most of the furniture around in different places. Then I took down my posters of the many people I obsess over. Yes I have posters of my idols on my wall. Well had. They're long gone. And by that I mean in my closet, waiting for me to bring them to my dorm. I keep over thinking college. Do I want to go? Or nahh. Of course I want to go.. In order to get my dream job I have to attend college. And it's not my degree is just going to be waiting on the table for when I wake up tomorrow. Sadly. But then again I was scared of college. As much as I hate to admit it, I'm afraid of rejection. And I guess we all know why. Cameron didn't reject me. He didn't even speak to me. So I wouldn't say he rejected me. Hell I don't even know if he meant to leave on that note. Well he meant to do something. It's not like him to up and leave me like that, let alone anyone! Anyways the point is I didn't know what to make of the situation. So I convinced myself that I was rejected. I guess it wasn't smart to do, but I also blamed myself. Again that's all the past. The eighteen year old version of Gracie thought that. But the nineteen year old Gracie thinks differently about Cameron Dallas. I haven't seen him since two months ago on Instagram. And the nineteen year old Gracie knows she's not missing out on anything anymore. Just his name disgusts me now. Yes I had a fallout. But I'm way better than I was. Without him.

My room was a lot bigger now due to it's emptiness. I had to get rid of somethings. And my parents made me start packing things away for college. Even though I'm still undecided about, that they said it would be best to be prepared.

I was pulled out of my thoughts by my cell phone ringing. Of course I knew who it was by the ring tone. Although I was confused as to why they were calling me now.

I hit the answer button causing the song Eenie Meenie to stop playing. I brought my phone up to my ear.

"Hi?" My greeting came out in a questionable tone because as I said before I was confused.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Now come pick me up." Katelyn yelled through the phone.

Huh?

I turned my head to look at the clock. 2:36. She is supposed to be on the plane, not here.

"Arnt you a bit early?" I asked. It's not like I'm unhappy with her coming early. I was told she was coming at 3:45. That's what I was told.. By her.

"Yeah, but I don't think they'll let me go back in the plane and refuse to move until 3:30." She joked.

"3:45." I corrected her, laughing a little.

"Shut up. So nineteen year old are you gonna pick me up or make me go back to NYC with my creepy roommate who I swear is going to kill me one night in my sleep. The way she looks at me. I mean if looks could kill. Consider me already six feet down."

"I think you might have thought too much Into that. She's not going to kill you. And just hold up. I'm leaving my house now."

"Hallelujah!" She cheered through the phone. I hung up, and all but flew down the stairs. My Mom, who happened to be just walking out of the kitchen stared at me. Some days I might as well have a Unicorn taped to my back. That'll be a sight to see.

I waved my hand at her dismissively before I opened the door and ran to my car.

I put the key in the ignition and drove off in the direction of the airport.

~~~~~~~~~~~

I hugged both of my parents tightly as I thanked them countless times for the gift they gave me. I looked at it again and I felt like I could jump up and down out of excitement. So as the mature nineteen year old I am, I did exactly that. Laughter rang through my ears including my own. This was the best gift I've ever gotten. What exactly is this gift that I'm obsessing over? A Jeep! Ever since I was little I've wanted a Jeep and parked directly in front of me is my dream car. I think I could've crushed my mom when I hugged her. I'm so happy right now. 

"I love you guys so much!" I ran back over to them and I pulled them both in for a group hug. 

"Okay, okay. You're welcome, why don't you and Katelyn go out for a ride?" My dad suggested. I ran right to the drivers seat and hopped in. Shortly after Katelyn hopped in the passenger side and I wasted no time getting on the road.

"You really enjoy this gift don't you?" She laughed. I nodded.

"Of course. I used to obsess over pictures of Jeeps in sixth grade with.." I trailed off. Not today. He's not going to ruin my birthday. Katelyn cleared her throat getting my attention. 

"So about that." She handed me a envelope. "Um happy birthday. I understand if you don't like it. If you don't then I'll see if I can return it and i'll give you money instead. Or we can go to the mall. Whatever you want. I'm sorry. It was an in pulse buy..." She kept rambling on, but I ended up blocking it out. I hadn't even opened it yet. I pulled the flap of the envelope up and I pulled out the card. How can a gift card be that bad? If it's not a gift card then it has to be money right? I don't see why shes worrying so much. I looked at the card. It had two monkeys with party hats on it. I laughed slightly. Thankfully Katelyn had stopped talking by now. I stopped at the red light and I opened the card, but to my surprise it wasn't money or a gift card that fell out. I looked the piece of paper in disbelief. 

"I'm so sorry Gracie. Really. I didn't know what I was thinking when I got that. I'm so stupid." She apologized.

"Please stop apologizing." I looked at the paper for a split second before looking at her. "You're not stupid."

"But it'll kill you to go. I should've got you that toaster instead." I laughed.

"A toaster? Really? Because that's what every girl wants for her birthday." She chuckled and shook her head. I laughed again before my eyes landed back on the ticket. "I'm actually totally fine with this. In fact I'm really happy you got it for me."

"Really?" She asked shocked.

"Yes. Besides, It'll be fun." I explained. She got so worked up before I even reacted to it. 

"You know, those other Magcon guys are cute. I'm sure you'll be so caught up in staring at the other guys, you won't even notice that Cameron will be there." She said, wiggling her eyebrows suggestively. I playfully hit her shoulder. 

"Oh stop it." I giggled. I can't say she's completely wrong, but I'm getting into a relationship anytime soon. 

'BEEP!'  A car horn blared from behind us.

"Shit." I mumbled. I pressed my foot down on the gas petal and drove around the corner so we could get back to the house. When we pulled into the driveway I parked the car and took the keys out. 

"Ya know," I started before looking over at Katelyn. " If I haden't gotten this Jeep, your gift wouldv'e been the best."

"Oh thanks." She said sarcastically. We both laughed. I smiled before I reached over to hug her. 

"Thank you." I really was grateful for her gift. As much as I want to throw a brick at Cameron, I think having a civil talk with him might be as good. Maybe we could finally sort things out, but if not then I'll still have fun meeting the other guys. A ticket to Magcon. I'm actually looking forward to it.
