''Your boy friend is making my life hell!'' Cassie snapped at me the moment I answered her call. Sighing, I sat down on my bed and turned the phone on loud speaker, making my braid at the same time.

''What now?'' I asked in a bored tone. Everyone knew - even Cameron himself - that how much Cassie hated him. They couldn't survive in a same room for more than five minutes, she had inability to stand him and that seemed to be getting in me as well. I wonder how long I was gonna endure between bursting out like a volcano. Because that's exactly my heart was becoming from all the welled up feelings - a volcano.

''He's been calling me non stop for an hour? What the hell does he thinks of himself, a facebook spam?''

''Tell me what exactly he wants to say to you?'' If Cameron had started flirting with my best friend - the one who hates him with a burning passion - I am gonna stop believing in humanity.

''He says he wanna talk to you about something very important but you're not picking up your phone. What's so important to that asshole huh? I think he wants to discuss which colored pom poms you're gonna shove on his face or something. He needs to sort out his priorities.'' Well he had called me when I came back home, just thrice, I didn't picked up. If Cameron wanted to go around thinking everything was fine with us after his inconsiderate behavior, I wanted to prove him wrong.

I got off my bed and rubbed my temple, ''Well sorry Cass, I wish I had some control over him but my bad, I cant stop him from calling people for no reason.''

''The point is, why are you not picking up his calls? Is there a fight between you guys. Not that I mind...'' Her tone went from furious to almost enthusiastic, she was obviously expecting us to fight and just get over all this. I was in such a state of mind that I couldn't even question her about that.

''I'm so confused Cass, Cam is acting so different than before nowadays.''

''What did he do? Did he hurt you?'' She asked suddenly tensed. Talk about mood swings...

''No it's not like that but the relationship...it feels like a forced one. He acts like I'm just holding the label of girlfriend for him; I don't actually mean anything to him. It's just making me feel frustrated.'' I said what I was feeling about Cam and she paused on the other side. When Cassie replied, her voice was ferocious.

''You know he's like that Peyton. He wants to control you, take check of everything in your life. You are feeling suffocated that's all. Why don't end it if it's such a burden.''  

''That's not the problem; I always knew he was a bit ... demanding and wanted things his way. Those habits don't bother me much. The problem is he's acting indifferent. He gets over friendly with Ashley, too over friendly in fact and it hurts me.'' I said and felt that maybe I was acting jealous, something I had never felt with Cameron. It was new for me.

''Ashley, hmm that's new.'' She mumbled,

''He gets all cozy with her, over friendly in fact. When I confront him he just denies and says that I am the one over reacting all the time and creating drama. You know me Cass, if there's one thing I hate most in the world that's drama.''

''I know that, your rotten boy does to. Don't you see it now Peyton, he's not worth it,'' She began explaining in an urgent tone and I had an urge to cry, ''he's not just getting over friendly with that bimbo, he's flirting with her. Don't let a worthless shit like that walk all over you. You are more precious than that.''

''Its not easy for him, everything happened - it matters to me. I just don't know yet what to do. Lets talk about something else.'' I knew it was right to talk about it, to let it all out and work out things but some part inside me knew it wasn't going to be easy for me. I was already struggling with so many emotions, I didn't know how much I was gonna be able to handle.
