Our Destructive Summer Part 9

Cameron

Dove cuddled into my chest as I shoved popcorn into my mouth. This entire day was peaceful. The boys just left and China and Sophie went off to do their own thing.

"What made you want to stay back with me?" Dove asked, rubbing the side of my face.

"I just wanted to be with you tonight." I quickly responded. She blushed causing me to smile. My mind occasionally drifted back into all the fun I could he having with the boys, but my attention would always return back to Dove's. She placed her lips on mine, kissing me and I kissed back. I licked her bottom lip, asking for an entrance which I was gladly granted. She tongued me down real good. I could tell that she was missing me and I was happy.

"Give me a second. I gotta use the bathroom." I said, not realizing I left my unlocked phone on the armrest of the couch. I took a piss and washed my hands before returning back to the room. I was expecting to come back to a happy Dove, but instead she was in tears, with my phone in her hand. Fuck.

"Cameron." she said, choking on her tears. "Who is Lily?" I was stunned and speechless. I honestly didn't know what to say or how I was going to explain the messages to her.

"I-," I began.

"Please." she said. "Do not give me any bullshit." I sighed, not being able to get myself out of this one.

"She was one of the girls I was going to meet up with, with the guys.." I mumbled, not being able to look at her.

"What?" she asked. I repeated myself louder.

"Babe I'm so-," she cut me off.

"This whole time." she said. "This whole time you had me out here looking like a idiot when I was down for you." Followed by that sentence, more tears came.

"Dove just let me explain." I tried to say. She wouldn't hear me out though. Instead, she threw my phone into my chest and put her hand in my face before walking out of the room. "Dove!"

"I don't want to hear your sorry excuses Cameron!" she screamed at me, putting her shoes on. "Fuck you for making me believe that you actually loved me."

"I do love you!" I blurted out. "Just let me explain!"

"No." she said, making her way to the door, but I grabbed her arm. Followed by that, was a slap to the face. My cheek stung. "Don't you fucking touch me!" And with those words, Dove was gone.

"Fuck!" I screamed, punching the wall next to me. My rock was gone. My first love was gone, out the door. I quickly threw some clothes on, rushing out the house to find my boys before I blacked out and did some stuff I regret. I had the chance to make things right and I fucked up pretty badly.

Face red from Dove's slap, I stormed the boardwalk, looking in every direction for the guys. I finally, bumped into Taj.

"Yo watch where the fuck-," he began. "Cameron? Aren't you suppose to be with Dove?"

"She left the house." I said with gritted teeth. Thomas and Booboo gave each other that look.

"She found out, huh?" Thomas asked.

"What do you think?" I asked him.

"I told you it would catch up to you." he said, smirking.

"Oh. So you think it's funny?" I said, stepping up to him.

"Calm down, Cameron." Booboo said, putting an arm between us.

"We grew up better than that." Thomas said to me.

"Yeah? Says the guy that can barely get a girl to like him." I said, both my hands in fists.

"I just decided to take it slow, rather than rushing into things." Thomas said. Without thinking, I punched him in his face and we were in an all out brawl on the board walk.

"Fuck you!" I screamed.

"The both of you stop!" Taj yelled, moving the ladies out of the way. He tried to pull Thomas from under me, but that resulted in him getting punched in the eye by Thomas. I kept punching him, over and over, not caring that the blood from his lips were covering my fist. My eyes and bottom lip were swollen from his punches. I was going in for another hit, when I felt a heavy body tackle me to the side.

"Fucking stop!" Booboo screamed, holding me down. "You two are brothers and this is not how brothers work things out!"

"That ain't my fucking brother!" I screamed. "That's one fake ass motherfucker!"

"How am I fake?" Thomas asked, being held down by Taj.

"Don't think I didn't see the way you looked at Dove." I said, getting angry all over again. "I might act stupid, but I use my brain."

"She deserves better than you and I wanted to give that to her so bad, but she fucking chose you." Thomas said. I tried to break away from Booboo's grip, but he only held me tighter.

"Don't even think about it." Booboo said. "And Thomas, I know Cam deserves it, but maybe you should just shut up for a little bit."

"Should we just go?" I heard one of the girls ask.

"Yeah, you probably should. Wouldn't want to be involved with Thomas." I said, eyes redder than ever. Booboo quickly looked at one of the girls to nod yes and I took that as an opportunity. Running over to where Taj and Thomas were, I pushed Taj off of him and began beating on him again. He used his feet to kick me off of him and tried to lunge at me, but he was brought back down to the ground by Taj. I never, in a million years, thought I would be fighting with Thomas. We've been through a lot together and I mean a lot.

Thomas and I were always there for each other,  but this time it was different. I wanted to hurt him. I knew he was planning to take Dove from me somehow, it's like he was waiting for me to fuck up. Only Taj and Booboo seemed real concerned about what I was doing to Dove, but deep down, Thomas just wanted a reason to get with her and I knew he would use this as his chance.
