Carried Away

One of those days

Summer's POV

"What are we doing this weekend?" Kaylie asks, joint in hand. It's Thursday and Kaylie, Sam, Danielle, and I are smoking. 

I almost feel guilty for being here and smoking knowing that Mary doesn't like it. I would stop, but this week has been stressful, and I'm pretty sure I just failed another biology test.

"Let's go out." Sam suggests as usual. Sam always wants to go out. I don't know how she manages to party at least three days out of the week, and still get all of her work done. 

"I can't." I had completely forgotten until this moment that I'm going home this weekend. It'll be nice to go home and see my dad, but I'll miss Sawyer even if it's only for two days. 

That might be a problem. I'm getting to attached way to fast, but that's a thought for another day.

"She's probably going to be busy with Sawyer again." Danielle sneers. 

"No actually I'm going home, but if I wasn't I'd most likely be with Sawyer." I say with a smile.  Ever since the day Sawyer and Jaylen fought Danielle has been coming up with rude things to say to me. Some of them are innocent like what she just said, usually I ignore comments like that one. Others are worse yesterday she called me a slut because I left the girls to go study with Sawyer. Things like that are a bit harder to ignore. 

I know my sort of relationship with Sawyer bothers Danielle, and lately I've been using it as an opportunity to shut her up. Maybe it's not right, but I may not care anymore.

Danielle looks like she's about to say another snide comment, but Sam gives her a look and she doesn't say anything, that happens a lot.  It seems like Sam has a lot of control in their friendship. 

"How was class?" Danielle asks, to change the subject. Kaylie and Sam answer her, and I stay quiet. I've learned that Danielle's questions aren't directed towards me so it's best if I don't answer them. 

 My dad always tells me not to stay in a place where I'm not welcomed. Danielle clearly doesn't want me here even though it's obvious that Kaylie and Sam do. It's probably best if I leave. 

"I'm going to go guys. Text me if you need anything." I turn to leave, but Sam calls me back. 

"You don't have to go."

"Yeah you've barely even smoked. I thought you needed to relax." Kaylie pipes up. 

"I actually need to study. I can relax later. I really do need to go though." I leave without saying another word.

I briefly consider going to Sawyer's room, but decide against it, and walk over to Cameron's room.

"Hi daddy." I say as soon as Cameron opens the door. I've taken to calling him daddy and he always calls me baby now. 

"What's up baby?" Cameron asks frowning. 

"Are you two sure you're not dating or anything?" Eli asks from his spot on his bed, before I can answer. Every time I come over he asks that, and every time the answer is the same. No nothing is going on with me, and Cameron and no neither of us have a secret daddy kink that he should know about. 

 Instead of answering Eli, I say nothing in response to Cameron's question. 

"Having another one of those days?" Cameron asks. Cameron, and Eli are the only people that have caught on to the fact that sometimes I have off days. Days where I'm not as happy and every little thing bothers me. I'm pretty sure everyone has days like this, but mine are definitely more frequent. 

On days like this I come to their room, and cuddle with Cameron, and bicker with Eli until I feel better. 

Cameron doesn't wait for an answer to his question, and is already clearing a space for us to lay. While Cameron is doing that, Eli calls me over to him, and gives me a hug. Hugs are nice. I need hugs and cuddles. This is starting to become a weird routine for us.
