A few days later

12:30 AM

Camz:
You awake?

Laur:
Yeah Camz, what's up?

Camz:
This might sound like really pathetic but I need you to answer me honestly

Laur:
Okay....

Camz:
You promise to do so?

Laur:
Yeah I promise

Camz:
Do you like me?

AS A FRIEND

JUST AS A FRIEND I SWEAR

just... am I likeable?

Laur:
Of course Camz

You're so sweet and thoughtful and I love that you ask me all these random questions to get to know me and stuff

Where's this coming from?

Camz:
Nowhere.....

Laur:
Camz

Camz:
Vanessa told me that no one likes me and that no one ever will

Laur:
Vanessa is a bitch who doesn't know anything except how to cheat and how to insult people to make herself feel better

Camz:
But she's right, she's the only person to ever like me and she didn't even really like me. She was just using me to get over Kade.

Laur:
Who's Kade?

Camz:
Her ex that she cheated on me with and then got back together with

Laur:
And you found out that Vanessa was using you to get over Kade when?

Camz:
A few days ago

Laur:
I knew something was wrong

Why didn't you tell me Camz?

Camz:
I don't know....

That's not the point. The point is that I think that maybe she's right.

Laur:
Camz, you just haven't met the right person yet!

Camz:
But i don't have any friends either Laur, people don't even platonically like me

Laur:
You do too have friends!

You have me, you have DJ and Ally and Mani! What about Becky!?

Camz:
Becky is my step sister, she doesn't count.

And you guys havent even met me. What if you hate me? What if we meet and I'm annoying or I smell bad or I talk too much? What if you think I'm weird?! What if I'm nothing like you expected and you end up not liking me?

Laur:
Camz, calm down babe

Take a few breaths, okay?

Camz:
Ok

Laur:
Now listen very carefully. Vanessa is a horrible person who is making you feel at fault for the bad things that she did to make herself feel better. She's making you seem like a bad person so that she doesn't feel like one.
