-Cameron's P.O.V.-

I was left with Lauren.

"Let's go home. We will go back to the hotel to grab your stuff." I mumbled.

She nodded in response.

-Arriving at the Hotel-

I grabbed my keys and headed towards my room. When I was in, I changed into a crop top and soffee shorts. I took off my makeup and wore a messy bun. I gather my belonging and left Megan's. I was assuming she was spending another night. I left a post-it saying I went home.

When I got to the lobby, Cameron was holding his luggage. He also changed, he wore grey sweats and a tank top. We walked out and he led us towards his truck. He grabbed my suitcase and put it in the back.

Cameron started the engine and we left to LA.

During the car ride, it was silent.

I felt like I was the cause of the break-up. I felt guilty and I wanted to tell Cameron.

"Cameron?" I asked him.

He looked at me.

"I'm sorry if I caused the break-up..."

"It's okay. It wasn't your fault. I should've not hugged you." Cameron said looking at the road.

I was disappointed to hear what he said.

He said he should've not hugged me.
My heart clenched and released multiple times after hearing this.

-Cameron's P.O.V.-

I couldn't believe what I just said to Lauren. I was so fed up with Jessica and I blurted out whatever came into my mind. Honestly though, I kinda do regret hugging Lauren a little bit...

We arrived home shortly after the conversation.

I got out of the car and grabbed my luggage. Lauren did the same. We didn't talk, it was really awkward...

When we arrived inside, we parted our ways. I went to my room and Lauren went to hers. I was guessing she was heading to bed since it was like 4am.

I headed to bed shortly after.

Ring! Ring! Ring! I quickly woke up and checked my phone. It was 9am.

"Wtf? Who calls at-?!"

Oh my mom was calling me....

"Hey mom what's up?" I mumbled.

"Hey sweetie, I wanna let you know that we are coming over." my mom said.

"Oh my?! Really?! Who is we!?" I quickly yelled.

"Sweetie, it's just me, dad, and Cameron's parents." my mom said.

"Okay... today?.." I said.

"Yeah be there in 30 minutes." my mom said...

"Ughhhhhh... okay..." I grunted and ended the conversation.

I quickly took a shower and got ready. I decided to wear a loose pastel pink dress with curly waves. I applied mascara and eyeliner. I wanted to look nice because I didn't want my parents to think I cried through out my stay with Cameron..

I ran across the hall and knocked on Cameron's door.

"Cameron our parents are coming over, get ready, they will be here any minute." I yelled.

Cameron opened the door and looked at me with his big brown-hazel eyes. His eyes looked red and poofy. I think he is still upset about the break-up.

"Err uh okay.." he mumbled.

I ran downstairs after hearing a knock. I quickly gushed the door opened and put on my best fake smile.

"Good morning Mrs. and Mr.Dallas! Good morning Mom and Dad!" I yelled giving them each a hug.

"Hey sweetie." they all said in sync.

"How's everything? How was prom?" Mrs.Dallas asked.

"Hmmm... okay." I said. I felt tears on the verge of falling. I quickly looked away to hide my face. As I turned I saw Cameron. He was wearing jeans and a white shirt. His hair was nicely combed and his teeth were white.

"Good morning everyone, who wants breakfast?" Cameron said. Everyone nodded and came in. Our parents came in rolling luggage.

"Mom why do you have luggage?" I asked her.

"We figured we would spend a night." My mom said.

Here it goes again with the planning...

I over dramatically sigh and gave her a funny smile. After, we all settled at the dining table eating a fancy breakfast. When we were done, the maids cleaned up. Our parents wanted to talk to us, so we sat down in the living room.

"How is the relationship between you guys?" My dad asked.

"Uhh it's great." Cameron lied and reached for my hand. It was really
weird because I enjoyed holding his hand.

"That's good, seems like you guys are getting along, and it's only been a month." Mrs.Dallas said.

No we are not getting along, in fact things are getting worse... Cameron is just lying to our parents saying everything is fine.

We talked and talked for what seemed like hours.. Cameron was still holding onto my hand.

"How bout we go for a beach walk? It's 7pm." Cameron said letting go of my hand. I felt a bit empty without his hand. I subconsciously rubbed my sweaty palm. How could even hold my hand? It was so gross, by the touch.

Everyone nodded their head in response to Cameron. We all got ready and wore our bathing suits, incase we wanted to swim. It was still bright and early at 7pm even though the sun would set soon.

We all went to our back door and walked down the beach. I smiled at the fact that the beach was so close.
