Golden (Book 1 of the Golden Series)

Chapter 24

(The beautiful being above is someone's suggestion for Trent- let me know your opinions and who you've been imagining as our hunk of a main character!!)

HELLO ANGEEEEELS.
I'm sorry for the delay in the upload, I've been packing and working all weekend and seeing people so I didn't get a chance to write but here I am!
I'm currently on a train to my aunts and then I'm flying to Canada tomorrow (eeeek) for two weeks so I apologise for any spelling and grammar errors because this was written on my very broken phone.
Uploads might also be sparse because I'm on holiday for two weeks however I do have a 9 hours plane journey on either side of the trip so depending on whether I can charge my phone on the plane you may or may not get uploads.
Either way I'll try to upload at least twice while I'm away, however you'll have to forgive the bad editing.
I just wanted to say I love you all so much- 5K votes and 65K reads is insane and I am so in love with all of you.
Make sure to leave lots of comments and let me know what you think! I love seeing all your reactions.
Love to you all!
Xxx

"Look there he is! He's home! Cam! Cam! Cameron!"

I follow Kristie's gaze and rise up on my tiptoes, attempting to see the boy that she was pointing out with an eager grin.

It was now Monday morning and after having spent the entirety of yesterday closed off in my house cleaning and avoiding my father, I was almost excited to come to school. I knew that Cameron was due back today and the fact that Matt wouldn't return until this evening made it all that much sweeter- it meant I could actually spend time with Cam without suffering the consequences.

"I don't see him!" I whine, frowning at the groups of people pushing past us as I stumble about, "Does he see us?" 

Kristie nods excitedly before grabbing my hand and then she starts to drag me through the crowd, barging past bystanders on the way who seem to be invisible to her.

"Out of the way! Best friends reuniting here!"

Maybe they weren't so invisible then.

Cameron Reid was the third wheel to our tricycle. Having met him when I was only six we had grown up together and he knew basically everything about me; the stuff with my grandmother, my mother, my dad, even some of the things to do with Matt although I never told him outrightly that he sometimes scares me, but I think Cam had figured that out for himself.
He was like a guardian angel put down on earth to make sure that I never got into too much bother and when I introduced him to Kristie a few years ago they'd slowly grown on each other, although they did start out pretty much hating one another.

Although Kristie is certain that that was because Cam was jealous of me having a new bestie and I suppose I kind of understood it.
I was just glad we all now loved and appreciated each other so much.

After a few seconds of being caught in the net that was a line of freshman girls with their arms linked, Kristie and I finally make it out of the rush of people and we sprint directly for the person standing watching us, their mouth open in laughter.

"Cam!" I squeal, launching myself at him and I feel Kristie follow suite, her body landing on top of mine. 

Cam stumbles for a few steps before steadying himself and he wraps an arm around each of us, squishing us together in front of him and we scream in happiness.

"Well there's my two favourite girls," his familiar voice chuckles while his hands rough up our hair, "how are my angels doing today?"

I roll my eyes at his comment and yank myself away, attempting to flatten my hair out.
