Speech • A Cameron Dallas AU

Chapter 16

C a m e r o n

The three days Lizzie was with us passed so quickly. It came to the 2 AM morning where she had to leave. "Babe.. I need to get up."

"No."

"Bu-"

"Sh."

I pulled her to me and wrapped my arms around her.

"It's going to be alright, Cameron."

"Nothing's alright when you're gone. There is no right. There's only wrong. "

"We'll make it through two weeks. We've done it before. "

"It's four months. Not two weeks."

"I know but think of it as two weeks. I have to go."

"No you don't."

She pulled away to try to turn on the lights. I pulled her back.

"A few more minutes."

She nodded and curled into me.

I pet her hair looking down at her.

"Marry me."

She looked at me and sighed. "Cameron,"

"I'm serious."

"We haven't been dating for more than 2 months."

"I've had feelings for you for seven."

"Cameron I can't.. I'm sorry it's just not been long enough."

"6 months?"

"No.."

"Eight?"

She sat up and looked at me. "Cameron... sorry..." She got up and got out of bed and went to the bathroom. I got up and stood in front of the closed door. A few minutes later it opened, and Lizzie walked out, into me. I took her waist and kissed her, while she was still trying to understand that she ran into me. She started kissing me back before she pulled away. "I have to go..." She grabbed her bag after I let my hands fall from her waist and she headed out the door. I followed her out, in just my flannels. She got into the elevator and waved at me. I sighed waving slightly as well. The door shut and my girlfriend left for what would be four long, long months.

I got to the airport, walking through and heading to security. While in line I saw a woman with a newborn, trying to get through. A security officer came along, a woman, and pulled her to the side for a pat down instead of the metal detector. That would be so difficult. A newborn. I got through security in no time, and was sat next to a woman with her toddler of a son. He ran around bouncing up and down before she gave him a truck and he sat on the floor. I took a nap, and before I knew it I was on the plane. A teenage girl, who couldn't have been more than 18 was sat next to me. "Excuse me do you have gum?" She asked. "Oh! Yeah, here." I gave her a piece. "Thanks. I'm on my way to college."

"You know what you're majoring in?"

"Architecture."

"Awesome! There's not as many women in the field."

"I totally agree. I'm Ally."

"I'm Lizzie." I smiled and her face fell into disbelief. "Nades?" My eyebrows raised from this question. "Yes.. How did you know that?"

"I watch Cameron's videos on YouTube. I met him at Magcon when I was sixteen."

"Oh! That's cool!"

"Why are you on a plane to Maine though?"

"I'm moving families."

"What?"

"I'm- I was Davis' speech teacher. Now that she's able to hear I no longer need to be there. So I'm being interviewed in Maine, Texas, and.." I drug out the 'd' in and thinking of the last place I was going. "New York."

"Oh. That's a lot of traveling."

"Yeah.. I'm going to miss him and Davis. It's going to be weird not teaching her."

She nodded and turned to her phone and plugged her headphones in. I did the same and looked at my twitter. I had bought wifi again. "Cameron, Nash, and the rest of the Replay crew are headed home. The tour's now ended and the boys are going to have a small break before doing videos again to reunite with their family. Cameron was seen helping Davis get her first few running steps at the airport. Pics to come." I smiled and then locked my phone listening to my music and looking out the window when I got a text from Nash. "Probably not the best time but you left your purse in my room on Friday. And never picked it up. And it had this in it. And I'm pretty sure you needed that last night." Attached was a picture of a little purple case like object. I was confused for a few seconds before I realized what it was. My birth control. I hadn't taken it yesterday. Or today. I quickly texted Cameron. "Hey babe... Did we use a condom last night?" I locked my phone nervously bouncing my knee. Cameron replied ten minutes later. "No. Why?" I hit the back of my head to the seat and closed my eyes. Shit. "Liz?"

"Babe."

"You know how I feel about you not replying."

I wasn't going to reply.

Not for a while.
