The next morning, (Sunday) I didn’t wake up until 1pm. I felt the necklace that Cameron had given me on my chest, since I rarely took it off. I slowly pulled it off and set it on my dresser. I decided I had to tell my parents, so I walked downstairs. “Someone finally decided to get up!” My mom said, smiling. I obviously looked really upset. “Mom, Dad, there’s something I need to tell you.” I said, walking towards them. They looked worried, as my mom said “what is it honey?” I looked down, and said “well, Cameron and I broke up last night.” My mom walked over and put her arm around me and said “oh sweetie, I’m so sorry. What happened?” “Well, we fought and I got mad and I broke up with him. I have been stressed out lately about school, and dance, and being kind of famous was a lot.” I said. My eyes started puffing up and my dad said “I’m sorry, honey.” My mom looked at me, worried and said “are you okay?” Since my eyes started getting red. I shook my head and squeaked out “no,” as my throat tightened up and tears rolled down my face again. I sat on a stool and covered my face with my hands as my mom sat next to me, rubbing my back. After I stopped crying, I said “Can I please stay home from school tomorrow?” My dad gave a look, saying no, but my mom said “yes.” “What!?” My dad said. “Honey, it’s her first breakup! It’s hard.” My mom said, defending me. I wiped my eyes once more and walked back upstairs. I texted Lauren, and asked her to come over, since I wanted to tell her in person.
Lauren bursted into my room and said “Did you see what Cameron tweeted?! What is that supposed to be about?!” I was sitting on my bed as I ducked my head and said “Lauren. We broke up.” “What?! Why didn’t you tell me!” She just about screamed. “I wanted to tell you in person. It happened last night.” I said. Tears rolled down my face again. She hugged me, as I told her all about the fight. “What does the tweet say?” I asked. I hadn’t checked my social media at all, I kind of forgot about it. I went on my twitter, and it had blown up. Tons of people asked if we had broken up. I looked at Cameron’s twitter and at 2:30am, he tweeted “This hurts.” He also tweeted this morning “Nobody said it was easy, but no one ever said it would be this hard.” It was lyrics from a song by Coldplay. I didn’t want to announce it, but I changed my profile picture from a picture with him, to a selfie on my Instagram and twitter. I decided to keep up the pictures I had posted with him though. I tweeted “best friends are something we all need in life.” If any of the fans were smart at all, they would figure it out. Suddenly, I saw all over my timeline how upset people were that we broke up, I received so many sweet tweets. Of course though I got hate tweets saying that I never deserved Cameron anyways and stuff like that. I was really hoping that Cameron wouldn’t tell the press or anyone that he broke up with me, to make himself look better. Lauren went home from my house around 8 since she had to go to school tomorrow. That night, I stayed up until midnight, watching 02l videos, because they always made me laugh, even though some of them were friends with Cameron. I didn’t wake up the next morning until like 9am. Since my mom was a teacher, she left really early and my dad went to work early too. I wrapped myself up in blankets and walked down to the living room with my phone. I decided to watch sad movies all day and kept crying, but it felt good to just do nothing. Suddenly my phone buzzed. I looked over to see a text from Jack Gilinsky. “oh god,” I whispered as I unlocked my phone. His message read “Hey y/n. I heard about you and Cam. I’m really sorry, but I want to let you know that I’m always here to talk, if you need. And, if you really need someone to cuddle with, I’m here!” I laughed when I read it. I replied “Thanks Gilinsky. I’m doing alright.” All of the sudden, all of the other boys texted me, saying the same things, checking up on me. Everyone except Nash.
I realized that I lost not only my boyfriend, but one of my best friends. I understood though, that Nash had to side with Cameron, sense they were best friends. I once again started crying. Matt texted me saying “heyy girl. I heard. I just texted you to check up on you. How are you doing?” I replied saying “okay. It’s really hard. Can I ask how all of you boys found out?” He answered saying “Cam texted us in our group chat. And twitter.” I sighed realizing that everyone probably knew by now.
