Damaged

Chapter 16

"I'm so happy you're back!" I felt warm as I hugged Cameron.

"It's been hell without you." He put me down and looked down into my eyes.

I smiled up at him.

"Let's go get Starbucks." I took his hand and walked out the door.

We walked slowly to Starbucks which was about a 10min walk.

We walked merrily, hand in hand.

He told me about his new house, keeping a smile on my face as I got to listen to his voice.

"I'll be visiting you soon." I said.

"Well I won't be there much longer." He marked.

I was confused.

"I'm 17 remember. I can always come to a boarding school here for my last 2 years of high school. There's a collage here that I can push to get a solar ship for. That was always my plan." He said. Looking at me now.

"As long as I get to see you I'll be happy." I smiled.

We stopped on the side of the road and he gave me a kiss.

I looked to my side as I heard the sound of a skateboard.

A familiar face riding it as he watched Cameron and I hold hands.

It was Liam.

He looked me in the face as he rode past, taking me into a trance as I watched him back.

"Who is that?" Cameron brought me back to reality.

"Oh. Oh. Um, he's just someone I know from school, old friend. But we don't talk anymore." I plastered on a happy face.

"Let's go though." I pushed Cameron ahead playfully , looking back to see Liam one last time without Cameron noticing.

I mean, I did love Liam.
We only broke up this fricken afternoon and it takes time to get over someone you loved.

I took hold of Cameron and we held each other as we walked.

The next day

"Well you had quite the Friday." Alexa nodded.

"Sure did.." I said.

"But let's change our mind set."

"Yeah."

"How's things with Christian?" I asked.

"I don't know. We don't talk much in person anymore. But we still have daily conversations."

I nodded.

"You're lucky to have him." I smiled.

"I sure am." Alexa smiled, standing up, "I better get home." She said.

"Bye." I let her out the door.

I was finally alone.

James had gone back to Collage and mom and dad had an all day collage and we have a braai at my parents friends house tonight.

I'll know one person from my stables but that's about it.

I sat down on the coach for a moment of piece.

Picking up my phone and opening WhatsApp.

Cameron

Cameron
