~chapter 20~
I went home alone and laid on my bed.
I stared at my ceiling and was captured in my thoughts.
"Madeline?" A voice asked.
I felt myself hesitate as the question echoed.
"Mom?" I asked. My mother was a single mom raising 3 kids. It was my older brother Charlie, Me, and my little sister Elizabeth.
"Hey hon, I'm home." She responded.
"Really?" I asked sarcastically. I laughed by myself and put foundation over my wounds so she wouldn't ask.
I went downstairs and hugged her from behind.
"Hey Mad. I have 2 BLTs. Want one?" She asked.
I took one and left back to my room.
RING! RING!
My phone rang and I picked it up without reading the caller ID.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Hey! Madeline." I recognized his voice anytime, it was Cameron.
"Hey Cammy. What's up?"
"I wanted to see how you were doing. I haven't spoke to you since, ZAYUMMMMM. I forgot."
I laughed at his 'ZAYUM' and heard him giggle too.
"Well, I'm doing fine. I'm out of my wheelchair and all better." I responded.
"Well I'm glad. I miss you." He said quickly.
"I miss you too. And all the other guys." I added the other guys into it so it wouldn't be awkward.
"I want to see you. Now. I can't stand not seeing you because." He paused. I was eager to find out his next words.
"Because." I waited.
"Because Maddie, I love you!" My heart melt knowing he loved me.
"Maddie? Oh no, I wasn't supposed to say th-" I interrupted.
"No. You said the right thing. Just pretend I'm holding your hand and cuddling in your chest." I grinned at my imagine because I wanted it to be true.
"I got to go Cam. I'll talk to you soon." I ended the call.
I held the phone to my chest and smiled.
"Madeline! Come see the news! Quick!" My mother yelled.
I rushed down the stairs and looked at the tv.
"Is that...Taylor?"
