Never Stop Dreaming // Tal Fishman

Chapter 49- New Times

So its been a week. 

The school week has felt weird with Cam being there with me.

I don't know how I feel right now.

I am feeling kind of confused.

I have been so used to talking over phone and face timing him for weeks at a time.

We are now a normal couple. 

But something is stopping me from being happy.

Today me and cam are just having  a chill day at my house.

I make some snacks and we sit on my couch.

We watch some tv.

Cam-"So today, Adi is having everyone over for a bon fire?"

Me-"Yeah. It should be fun. Theres smores and also karaoke."

Cam-"I always love a good smore."

I laugh.

I put my  head on his shoulder and we watch some more tv.

Some time goes by.

I look at Cam.

Me-"your making your thinking face. What are you thinking about?"

Cam-"Nothing."

Me-"Your a bad liar,"

I sit up.

Cam-"I got a phone call last week."

Me-"Good or bad?"

Cam-"I got a job in San Francisco. "

Me-"How long?"

Cam-"Thats the thing its a huge film. I am moving to San Francisco. I am completing senior year online. Its my big break."

I was speachless.

Me-"Is this why you took a week off to spend time with me?"

Cam-"Yes, I am leaving in 2 days, I want you to come with me. I have an apartment and its beautiful. You can move in with me,"

I was still speachless.

Cam looks at me.

Me-"Theres no way I can move. I can't leave to San Francisco. I can't leave my friends. I could never leave Adi. Cam my entire life is here, My family"

Cam-"We can visit."

Me-"Do you know what your saying?"

Cam-"I love you Bailey, I want you to move with me."

He holds my hands.

Me-"I'm sorry."

Cam looks down.

Cam-"Please think about this."

I look at him.

I look down. 

I could never leave.

I may be unsure of what my future is like but one thing is for sure. I can never leave my home.

Its later now in the day and we walk to Adi's.

Me and Cam sit outside.

Me-"Cam, I am not going. I have thought about it all day. I don't want to."

Cam looks at me.

Cam-"I won't go. I will stay. There will be more opportunities."

I smile at him.
