Secret Star

Chapter Nineteen

Rylee's POV

Cam and I sit in my hospital room as we wait for the doctor to come back with an okay for me to leave.

"How does your head feel?" he looks up at me.

"It's okay, better than when I first woke up." It does still hurt a little but no reason to worry him. He looks down at his phone and continues scrolling. The smile on his face is huge and the love in his eyes shows. I like seeing him like this.

"What are you doing Cam?" I smile at him.

"Just tweeting some fans back, there just so amazing." his grin gets bigger. And I find this so adorable, the love he has for them is amazing and inspiring.

"They really mean a lot to you don't they? I can tell and its amazing."

"They really do, but you mean just as much." he comes and lays next to me on the bed. "I love them so much and I hope they can accept the fact that you're in my life because I'm not losing you." He leans in to kiss my cheek and takes a selfie of it. Its a really cute picture and makes me blush. "Can I post this? I don't want to hide anything from them and how can I not show you off?"

I don't mind him posting it, I just hope I don't get hate for it.. I'm not even sure what we are, its not like I'm his girlfriend so they have no reason to be jealous. "Go ahead, its okay." I force a smile.

"You don't seem to sure..." worry in his eyes.

"Its just I don't want them to be confused as to what we are, I don't want to be confused as to what we are." hopefully I don't regret saying this.

Cam gets off the bed and turns around, pulling something out of his pocket. "I was going to wait to do this, but I think you need a reason to smile today.. Rylee, will you be my girlfriend?" he opens his hand to reveal a necklace with a heart on it.

I can feel the tears begin to well up in my eyes. This is the cutest thing anyone has ever done for me, "Of course Cameron." he puts the necklace on me and I feel his fingers against my neck.

"It looks beautiful on you." he whispers in my ear sending shivers down my spine. He leans down and kisses my lips and we both smile half way through the kiss. "Okay, I'm posting this picture now and the world will know you're mine. I kiss him again this time we both get a little handsy.

"Ahem." the doctor walked into the room.

Cam and I both blush, "Uh sorry." he says.

"I have good news, your head is fine and you can leave at anytime and I heard about your mother, I'm sorry for your loss." he nods and walks out.

Now my emotions are numb again, my mom is really gone. She doesn't know about breaking up with Justin or about how amazing Cameron is. Cam must've sensed I needed him because his arms were around my waist. "Its okay to cry baby girl, this past week has been hell for you." 

I don't want to cry here so I ask, "Can we go back to the hotel?"

"Of course." he says and we get our stuff ready to leave.

As we drive back to the hotel so many thoughts start going through my head. "Cam how are we going to-to-to plan her-her funeral?" tears well up.

He places his hand on my thigh, rubbing it gently.. "Do you have any relatives they would be willing to help?" I shake my head no. "Then I'll help you do it."

"Thank you. I think we need to do it in her home city, Toronto. That's where I grew up and she spent most of her life. It can just be a small burial."

He nods and we keep driving to the hotel.
