"The first duty of love is to listen."~Paul Tillich

I wake up with the sun in my eyes in a room that looks familiar.

"Morning sunshine." A voice says.

I turn to my left and it's Cameron.

"Why aren't you at the hospital with your parents?"

"They told me I had to leave."

"How bad are they?"

"Pretty bad but the doctor said they'll be fine."

"That's good."

I get up and stretch. I turn to look at him. He's beautiful. His face looks so refreshed, but filled with sadness.

"Let's go visit your parents." I say trying to cheer him up.

"Already did."

"Don't worry, your parents will be fine." I say grabbing his hand.

"I know" He smiles,squeezing my hand.

"Cam..." I say seriously.

"Don't ruin the moment" He hushes me.

"Cam seriously." I say in a stern voice.

"I need you Jess." He says tearing up.

"Cameron stop." I say trying not to give in.

"Why can't you admit you have feelings for me too." He says standing up looking down at me.

"You said it yourself, you know who I am. I'm afraid of love." My voice says getting louder.

"No. You're just afraid of being in love and the things that come along with it." He says his voice so doubtful in me.

I get up rushing out of the door pissed off. Not pissed off at him, but at me. He's right. I'm not afraid of love I'm afraid of being in love and everything that comes with it. He knows me better than I know myself. Maybe that's why he's bad for me...or maybe the perfect guy for me all along.
