I knock on the door and slowly it opens
"Camilla."
"Tom."
I walk in, brushing past him and see Harry at the stairs. "Hey Harry."
"Is this all you came here for Cam, to be awkward." He laughs. I stand there awkwardly for a few seconds. Harry walks down the stairs and behind Tom, pushing him towards Camilla. "Tom, don't you have something to say to my dear friend Camilla."
"Oh uh yeah. Camilla, I'm so sorry about the way I treated you and I feel so bad about how I hurt you. You don't have to, but maybe you could forgive me and we could be friends." He said reaching his hand out. "I know you hurt me big time, but I will still have to come here all the time to see Harry so I forgive you and I would be happy to be friends." I say shaking his hand as he chuckles.

"Okay so now that we've agreed that Tom is a dickhead, Camilla wanna come ups... OW!" Harry moans as Tom kicks him in the shin. Tom laughs and walks out the door, looking smug. "Upstairs, sure Harry," I say giggling and he follows me up the stairs in a hobble.
We walk past Paddy's room and I shout out to him, "Hey Padster!"
"Hello Cammy the Chameleon!" Paddy replies.
"Is he ever gonna drop that nickname?" I whisper to Harry and he shakes his head.

One day, Paddy found out that when I was little my parents used to call me Cammy the Chameleon because I used to be amazing at disguising myself when playing hide 'n' seek and now he calls me it and it's so annoying but funny.

We reach Harry's room and I take a run up and jump onto Harry's bed. "Woooo!" I say bouncing on it.
"Heyyyy! That's my bed!" Harry says jumping on next to me. The bed makes a creaking noise and we immediately stop and just lie down next to each other, catching our breath.
"CANNONBALL!" We hear and look at each other. "Uh oh." Paddy runs into the room and jumps on top on us.
"Ahhh help, I'm a small 19 year old, I'm gonna be squashed to death!" I say laughing my head off. This is why I had to forgive Tom. I didn't want to lose this. The fun.

The bed makes another horrible creak and gives way. One of the legs snaps and the bed hurls us into the wall. "OWWWWWWW!" Harry screams as his ankle gets trapped between the bed and the wall.  Me and Paddy leap off the bed and pull the bed out the way, giving Harry room to move out the way. "Firstly my shin and now my bloody ankle."
"Language!" Paddy says and I laugh.
"Do you think it might be broken Harry?"
"Dunno to be honest. But I'm not really worried about my ankle." He laughs nervously and we all look at his room and see the mess.
"Maybe you should reconsider moving in with me." I suggest.
"Yeah maybe. Haha." Harry says.

Nikki runs into the room. "What the!! First I hear a bang and then I come in to see this! Who did this!" Me and Harry both look at Paddy and he puts his arms up in surrender. "I'm just an innocent schoolboy." He says as he batts his eyelashes at Nikki.
"Well whoever did it, Harry you are going to need a new bed."
"Actually Nikki, I have a spare room in my apartment and for a while he's been thinking about moving in with me so maybe this happened because he's being told he needs to get some balls and move in with me." I say matter of factly.
"Oh Camilla, thank you so much for the offer. We've been trying to get rid of Harry for ages!"
"MUM! That's it, I'm packing right now!"

Harry grabs all of his stuff (he doesn't have too much) and packs it all into a few suitcases. We load it into my car and drive to my (and now his) apartment. We arrive at the apartment and unload everything into the spare room. "So am I paying half rent?"
"If you want to. I can't be bothered to argue at the moment."
"Good because I would have won anyway."
"Sure think what you want." I say smiling and walking to the kitchen and opening the fridge. "Ugh I ate all the food. HARRY!"
"Yes Cam, I'm right here."
"I'm gonna go out to Sainsbury's to get some more food"
"Okay Camilla. I must just say everything's happening so fast. I can't believe my bed broke and you made me move in."
"Actually your mum wanted you out."
"Hey don't remind me." he says and I laugh as I walk out of the door and walk to Sainsbury's.

On the way to Sainsbury's I walk past my favourite bar. The one where I drink all my worries away. Ive never got too drunk, the kind of drunk where you get a little headache the next morning is the worst it's been. One drink won't harm me, I just wanna think about what's happened today.

I walk into the bar and the familiar scent welcomes me. "Camilla! How good it is to see you! It's been a while!" The owner, Pedro (a kind Italian man) says to me.
"Ditto Pedro."
"Usual?" He asks and I nod. It's one of the most strong drinks on the menu but I usually only have one. I sit at the bar and Pedro passes me the drink. "Thanks." I take a sip and instantly feel better.
"So, what's the problem this time. Last time it was when you were forced to move out of your parents house a few months ago."
"My boyfriend broke up with me." I say gulping down the whole drink, "another please." He frowns because I've never asked for more than one but he still listens, and puts another glass on the bar surface, taking the empty glass to the back.

I don't know how, but I've managed to drink a whole bottle of the stuff and I'm started to feel a little lightheaded. I've never drunk this much before. "Bye bye Pedro, thank you. I'm going to see my boyfriend Tom now." I just about manage to slur.
"Camilla, he broke up with you. Maybe I should take you home. I think you're drunk."
"I'm not drunk pedroooooo. I'm very happy to go see my boyfriend tom tom now." I say as I grab my coat and walk out of the pub.

Harry's PoV

Camilla has been at Sainsbury's for 2 hours and is 8pm and I'm starting to get a little worried so I decide to call her. It rings and a few seconds later she answers. "Camilla where are you? You've been away far too long. Is everything okay?"
"Everything is all Gucci my friendo harry hoo. I'm just walking to see my boyfriend tom who loves me very much. I must be going now so I can go kiss tom."
"Fuck Camilla! You're drunk! Tell me where you are right now so I can come get you."
"I'm not telling you!"
"Tell me!"
"No!"
"Fine I didn't want you to tell me." I say trying to trick her which usually works when someone is that drunk.
"I'm nearly at Tom Toms apartment. Haha. Now bye." She says and hangs up. I grab the house keys and Camillas car keys and run out of the house.

Camillas PoV

I knock on the door to Toms apartment and Tom answers. "Tommmmmm!" I say throwing myself at him and he awkwardly stands there like a stick. "What's wrong tommmmm!" I say and go on my tip toes to kiss him. He flinches and smells my breath. "CAMILLA!" He says grabbing me by the arm and pulling me outside. "What?"
"YOURE DRUNK! WHY ARE YOU DRUNK!"
"Oh I can't remember." I say grabbing ahold of Toms curly hair and twirling it in my fingers.
"YOU NEED TO GO HOME! We aren't together anymore."
"What?" I say and start sobbing.
"Shhhh don't be sad. We already broke up earlier and now we are friends. Now let me drive you home so you can see Harry."
The word friends rings in my ears and I instantly remember why I got drunk. I push Tom away from me. "I GOT DRUNK BECAUSE YOU BROKE UP WITH ME! AND THEM YOU TRIED TO MAKE FRIENDS WITH ME! I WILL NEVER BE YOUR FUCKING FRIEND. I HATE YOU SO MU..." I'm stopped as someone puts there hand over my mouth and grabs me. I try to wiggle out but their grip is too tight. Tom looks hurt and runs inside. I turn around and see Harry. "Harryyyyyy!"
"Don't Harryyyyyy me, you're in big trouble young lady."
"Aw no fair!"
