Chapter 26

Stay quiet. Stay put. Stay away.

That was my motto. Atleast for now, maybe for a little bit longer.

I've been away from the group for a while. It's been so long that my hickies have gone away completely. The group has learned to stay away. There was no use in talking to me again. They wouldn't get anything out of it.

The second day I left, Cameron came up to me again and asked. Then Carter. Then Nash. Then the rest of the group individually. Then all at once. I moved my lunch area to the bathroom stall in attempt to get away from them around the first week I left, they slowly stopped bothering me then. But even in the bathroom, that didn't stop Kayla and Tara. They stood in front of my stall while I kept my mouth shut. Then eventually left. Their footsteps shuffled away back into the cafeteria.

Sure, I missed them. Sure, I didn't have to distance myself that much. But I felt like I couldn't stop it. It would feel weird if I were to just randomly go back to them. If I did, I would have to explain. If I did, that'd be... I guess, rude? I don't know.

Everyday was the same, like how it was before Cameron. There was nothing exciting about it before and there's nothing exciting about it now. But I just feel empty. My soul feels incomplete. I started to doubt that it was friendships and relationships that completed it, but that seemed to always be the case.

The day they finally stopped bothering me gave me relief. There were constant glances though. Not glances from thinking I'm weird, though. Maybe because they're curious.

I got a glance from Cameron at least two times a day, the ones that I caught. His eyes seem to just poke my heart, play with it, it feels like he could fondle it in his hands. He could do anything with it.

Carter was the same. There was no difference. It felt the same. A tinge of guilt fell upon me whenever they looked my way, but I just brushed it off afterwards.

Day by day went by with no interaction. My mother even asked me about it.

"Hey, how's you and Carter?" my mother asked at the dinner table. I hadn't ever told her about our break up. I mean, it was brought up, but it was never established.

"We... broke up awhile ago, Mom. I didn't tell you," I answered.

"What about that other boy, Cameron?" my mother asked back with a full mouth of food.

I was frozen at this question. I never ended up answering. I guess my mother understood.

That's something I still wonder about to this day. Are Cameron and I still considered a thing? I basically left him with no goodbyes. I don't think we're still dating. But... it's questionable.

"Hey, before you come home from school, could you get a present for Aunt Jude? It's her birthday today and I don't have time to get her a present. Could you also pack it and send it to her? Thanks, Eva," my mother said to me today. I ate my breakfast while my mother explained the process to me.

The day was quiet as usual. I didn't expect much. I didn't want much.

The mall was normal. Quiet as always. I had no one to walk with. I walked over to Tropical Smoothie to get a drink first, as always.

Now, what would be a good gift for my Aunt Jude? I barely talk to her. Maybe I should get her a necklace of some sort. I headed over to Kay and throughout the trip I reminisced on the memories made here at the mall.

I passed by Victoria's Secret. The day when Carter basically bought me the whole store flashed back in my head. My smile appeared. Then changed to a flatline. I passed by Hollister and the bathroom where Cameron confessed to me. The place where it got a little too serious for me.

I walked by the store where Cameron and I first met each others' eyes. The day where my life turned wonderful, but also turned to shit.

I stopped myself in front of the entrance. I noticed the new items on display.

Like I've said before, I remembered every detail. Now it's all changed.

My mind was stuck in a trance. I noticed all of the little cracks in the sign from old age. I could smell distinct mold coming from the back. These were only the things you could notice if you really focused. Memories flowed back and I could feel myself breaking. I felt my insides jostle and I started to become weak in my knees.

I felt an arm wrap around me and a warmth on my side. "Brings back memories, doesn't it?" a voice whispered beside me. I didn't have to turn my head to know who it was.

We stood together in silence and got stares from people walking by and the employees inside of the store. Cameron spoke up again. "Happy one month and twenty-six days, Eva." His voice was hurting. He had difficulty talking and I could tell there was a lump stuck in his throat.

I felt my knees give in. My vision was covered in blue-ish and white dots, I couldn't really make out a color before my vision disappeared. A screen of black took over and I felt a blow to my head. I heard a scream behind me and a couple of yells that called my name. Arms, arms, and more arms carried me to who knows where. I just knew I couldn't do anything at that moment. Eventually, there was no feeling at all.
