Not Just Perfect

Asshole

{ Jack's perspective }

I had came in the morning to check on Alex. "Jack!" She smiled. She was in a tie-dye sweatshirt (the one from the day we kissed) and some checkered pajama shorts. "You look finnnne!" I joked. "Shut up!" She pushed me, laughing. "you do!" She giggled, hugging me. I wrapped my arms around her, and kissed her forehead. "Beautiful." "Hottie!" She shot back. "Uh... If anyone here is a hottie.. It's you!" I laughed. She just laughed and grabbed my hand. "Sooo...." She looked worried, as she sat me down onto the couch. "What is it, babe? Are you okay?" I became worried. "Uh.. Yeah...it's just... That I saw something on twitter yesterday...."

She squinted, as if I were going to yell. "Alex! You can't go on social media! And that's that! It's not even an option!" I didn't yell but I definitely raised my voice. "I'm sorry, Jack! I needed to know!" Her eyes became glassy. "Tell me Alex, did you find anything out, or did you just become more confused?" I became angry at her actions. "I-I....." I looked at her sternly. "I just became more confused..." She finished. "That's what I thought..." I rolled my eyes. She knew she wasn't supposed to do that! "What did you see..?" I took a deep breath. "I saw that Cam had over two million followers...a-and a picture of us...and uh..uh... I don't know it said 'all mine' or something...with a heart, I think...I don't even remember...." She looked as if she just sold out her partner in crime. I cringed, as I thought about all the confusion that was going through her head as she saw those pictures.

"I'm so confused.... Are we just friends.. Me and Cameron?" She started tracing circles on my palm, with her thumb. "Listen, Alex... I can't tell you...you will find out on your own..." I then stopped her tracing, and held her hands in mine. "I promise." She just looked down at the ground. "When..." She had never looked so hurt. "Soon.." I lied. I didn't actually know when... I was just hopping it would be soon. "I wanna be with Cam..." She looked as if she were going to cry. "Come on, then." I grabbed her hand and led her to her room. "Jack--" I cut her off. "Just go get dressed.." I smiled. She sprinted into her room and didn't come out for another 45 minutes. I rolled my eyes at how long she took, but then saw her appearance. She had her hair curled and was wearing a black, vans t-shirt, with white short-shorts. "Cutie." I smirked. She just smiled and I took her down stairs.

I ran with her hand still in mine. "Get in." I opened the door of my car. She nodded and hopped in. As soon as I pulled up to Cameron's house she grinned. "Thanks Jack... I just really want to see him right now..." I looked into her eyes. "I don't blame you..." She then kissed my cheek and ran to his front door. I immediately pulled out of the driveway and headed home.

{ Cameron's perspective }

I sat there on the floor with my dog. I pet him as the door bell rang. I hopped up. Nobody else was home. I slid on the wood floors, with my socks to the door. I saw a blurry figure through the glass. I opened the door, smiling. "Alex!" I hugged her and she hugged me even tighter. I was hopping to hear her say "I remember Cam, I really do!" But it didn't happen. "I just nee to be with you..." She kept hugging me. "I need to be with you, too, Alex." I could feel her smile into my shoulder. "I thought I should hang out with a 'best friend'!" She giggled and I couldn't take my eyes off of her appearance. I snapped myself out of it. "Sounds good to me... Best friend." I smiled, but under my smile was a hurt frown.

"So I saw something on twitter last night and-" "Alex! You can't go on social media!" I cut her off. "I know, I know...but I did." She continued. "Were we more than friends..?" She questioned. I honestly wanted to blurt out "Alex... We did everything together...for six months! In fact we almost had sex, but then after ups and downs and realizing your the girl I want to grow old with, I screwed it all up." That's what I really wanted to say, but instead I kept it simple. "No, we were uh just really good friends..." She smiled as if she were relieved, but then smirked. "You think I'm that stupid." She laughed. "What..?" I was confused. "I saw the pictures and captions an #calex's, Cameron... I saw it all."

I just stared at her. I didn't know what to say... I couldn't pressure her but I didn't want to lie straight to her face, but I wanted her to remember so I went with the safe path. "Alex... We had our up's and we had our down's and I'm not aloud to say any further than that..." I felt sad as I looked at her hurt expression. "Fine..." She ran her hands through her hair and started to walk to the door. "But Alex!" I didn't want her to leave. "Listen, Cameron... I don't wanna be your friend... I don't want you to be a part of my life in any way... I don't remember you. Please just stay out of my life. Let's pretend like we never met each other, okay? It's easy for me, I don't know about you..."

I felt a fire light inside of me. An angry fire. It transformed from a spark, to a forest fire. "WHAT!?" I screamed. She turned around, with a surprised look on her face. I couldn't take this anymore! I tried to be nice guy. I tried to let her remember, but now I'm done. "YOU ASSHOLE!" I yelled at her, in furry. "EXUSE ME!?" She looked as if I had slapped her. "YOU HEARD ME! ASSHOLE! THAT'S A PERFECT WAY TO DESCRIBE YOU, ALEX!" Her mouth opened wide. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME? HOW AM I AN ASSHOLE? YOUR THE ONE WHO GOT ME IN THIS MESS..." I could tell she regretted letting those words slip out of her mouth. "YOU THINK I MENT TO CRASH THE CAR!? DO YOU THINK I TRIED TO RISK YOUR LIFE!?" The fire grew bigger. "NO, BUT I'M JUST SAYING THAT I'M NOT THE ASSHOLE IN THIS SITUATION!" I felt as if real flames were surrounding my lounges.

"YOUR THE ASSHOLE, BECAUSE YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU!!! YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOU MEAN TO ME! YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I'VE BEEN THROUGH WITH YOU! YET YOU JUST PUSH ME ASIDE FROM YOUR LIFE, COMPLETELY!?" Her face became red. "NO CAMERON! I ACTUALLY DON'T KNOW BECAUSE A DICK MADE ME LOSE MY MEMORY!" And with that she stormed out. I just fell to the floor with tears. My dog looked me in the eyes, as if he could tell something was wrong. "I c-can't live w-without her, b-boy.." I felt that same feeling I felt at the hospital, that feeling where, you choke on your tears, and you can't control how much water comes out of your eyes, at this point. He began to lick my face, but I hopped up. Tears stained my eyes as I walked to the kitchen. I then grabbed the pills from the cabinet.
