 Hayes P.O.V.

"Hey buddy!" Cameron said as he pulled me into a hug. "Thank you." I choked out from my now sore throat. My eyes were of course red and inflamed. Cameron set my suitcase down on his couch and then sat down. I had sat down beside him and told him everything Katherine moving here, the accident, the pictures, Brad - everything. For along time he just sat there with glazed eyes and a shocked expression.

"Hayes, its going to be okay. Believe me, I've made numerous mistakes but it always turns out for the better in the end." Cameron said in a calm, soothing voice. "But what do I do now? I mean she's the only good thing thats happened to me." I spoke, my voice kinda shakey. "Hayes don't say that, there are plenty of good things in the world when you open your eyes." Cameron said. "You can't see the world when you're blindsided by love." I said with a firm voice.

"I'm going to tell you a story and, and you do whatever you wish to do with it afterwards. Now this happened a year and a half ago, but I'm not the same naive guy I was back then. I loved a girl, just like you loved Katherine. We had our constant fights, but thats what a healthy relationship strives for." 

He took a deep breath and then started again. "Her name was Layla. She was my ideal girl. I-I wanted to propose to her, but you see life for her was short. One night everything went wrong. She was acting a little strange while we were eating dinner and so I asked her what was wrong. She started screaming and by the end we were both in sobs. She said she couldn't do it anymore and then I remember her running out of the house. I ran after her but the last thing I saw was the sorrow she showed in her face when the car hit her. I can still hear the brakes screeching and her body landing on the ground. The last words she said to me was 'Stay Gold, Dallas.' almost like in The Outsiders. She loved reading that book, I've never even read it before, even after the countless pleading from her."

Cam and I were both in full on sobs after that. Why hadn't he ever told anyone that before? Maybe thats why he was so distant from Nash. "Cam I'm so sorry, I never knew." I spoke shakily. Me and Cam were both on the couch and he swayed as I rubbed his back gently. "Thanks bro, I just... Katherine should treated with respect, all women should." Cam said.

 Wow, I feel so bad for Cameron. I hope Katherine never goes though anything like that, and even though I might have done her wrong I still want the best for her.

For hours me and Cameron just piled around his house. We made other conversation and then he asked "Did you tell anyone?" "Tell anyone what?" I asked. "About you coming here." He replied. "Nah." I said. I actually haven't checked my phone since I left. "Bruh, my mom's been callingnon-stop. Can you just call them for me, pleaseee."  I whined to Cameron. Once everything was settled with my parents, me and Cam called for take out.

I suppose this is how my life will continue for now. This'll be my daily routine. I'm Katherine-less, heartbroken, stuck in California with Cam, even though I love him. I guess in the end it really is my fault, I was stupid and selfish. I loved her I truely did, I guess this is one for the books though. The title could be 'Selfish boy ruins young love' or something like that.

Katherine's P.O.V.

He really is gone. Permanently meaning never to return. I saw him have a bag packed, but I didn't really think he was gonna go, especially all the way to freaking California to be with Cameron!?! I mean he probably did the least manly thing possible, he ran.

Gosh Hayes you can't just run from your problems. I mean yeah I told him to leave, but I thought we could work through this. Have you not seen any of those girl code quotes? When a girl says leave, she really wants you to stay.

I guess nothing really matters though, I mean to be honest nobody knows what he did to me, but me. It was kind of my fault in a way though, thinking he would actually like me and want to be in a relationship. I don't wanna say he's the typical guy, because I know there are good guys out there, but this really is a low for the male population.

I suppose this is how my life will be now. I'll cry myself to sleep over a guy who never really cared about me, and whose mind I will probably never cross again. Maybe he'll invite me to his wedding to help pick up the trash and stuff, because thats all I am to him now - trash. I just knew all of this would be insane and stupid. I bet ten years from now, if nothing were to happen, we would have gotten married.

Gosh Hayes, You're the Reason Why.
