game of a player-c.d

30.

rosie
i lay on the sofa with a hot bottle because i'm not feeling any better. i heard the front door unlock and open and i see my dad walk in.

"hey dad." i say.
"what? how are you home so quickly?" he says in confusion.
"what do you mean?" i say sitting up right.
"i just saw you and cameron walk into the ice cream shop down the street." he says as he shuts the door.
"what? i've been at home the whole day." i say.
"i only saw the back of you guys but cameron had his arm around you." he says, dropping his bags.
"what, no? i wasn't with cameron."
he shrugs his shoulders,"well it looked like you from the back."
"oh well, you were probably just seeing things." i jokingly said.

unless he wasn't and actually did see cameron with another girl?

"well why didn't you go out today?" he asks as he sits down next to me on the sofa.
"just felt like absolute shit." i groan as i lay back down.
"language, rosie."
"sorry, i wasn't feeling the best" i correct myself.
"how about after i go take a shower and get comfy, we can have hot cocoa and watch a movie?" he asks.
"sounds great." i say with a wide smile.

what's not to love about this man.

as we were watching this old western movie, my phone buzzed. i turn over to my dad and see that he's asleep. i turn the tv off before looking at the text.

i unlock my phone to see it was a message from cameron.

hey babe, taylor's holding a party tomorrow night and i wanted to know if you could come with me x

i sigh because i wasn't feeling any better and i don't think i would be getting better anytime soon. tf is up with me?

hey, i'm not feeling so good and i don't think i will be feeling good tomorrow either. but if i do then i'll come :)x

a few minutes after i finally got a response.

(c-cam, r-rosie)

c- oh do you want me to come over, i could make you feel a whole lot better ;)

r- i wouldn't mind that but it's late and i need some sleep x

c- okay babe, i'll come visit you tomorrow. sleep well x

i got off the sofa without disturbing my dad so he could sleep peacefully. i gave him a kiss on the cheek before walking up to my bedroom with my hot bottle.

suddenly i just felt a wave of emotions come and hit me, it goes from trying to sleep to crying in the darkness.

why did i agree to cameron's game? probably means nothing to him but everything to me. because i've fallen in love with him, for the first time i've experienced true love with someone. for the first time i haven't been faking it. but knowing this is all a set up hurts me.

and knowing that cameron may not love me hurts me even more.
