Cameron Boyce Short Stories

Our Destructive Summer Part 10 Finale

Dove

I was more than done with Cameron. I gave him everything he wanted. I opened myself up to him and gave him all of me. I was so confused, my eyes blurry with tears. I had no idea where China and Sophie went and I wish I had known. I knew Cameron wasn't all that he was cracked up to be. He came back to the fucking house and smiled in my fucking face like he wasn't doing anything wrong. We had sex, like he did nothing wrong. I'm so fucking stupid.

I was going to give him exactly what he wanted though. I took my purse out, reaching for Michael's number to text him.

Me: Hey are you busy right now? It's me Dove.

Mike: No, I'm just getting off work actually. You okay?

Me: Yeah I'm okay. Let's meet up

Mike: Sure, are you close to the bar by any chance?

Me: Yea, I'll be by you in a few minutes

Mike: Sweet. I'll see you soon

Part of me felt so guilty for even contacting this guy. I was done with Cam, but of course I still loved him. He was my first everything. I gave my fucking virginity to dude. Walking further up the street, I finally see Mike.

"Hey!" he said, walking up to me. "How are you?"

"I'm okay." I say, trying to fight back the tears again. Mike noticed.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"I don't really want to get into that right now." I said, being honest.

"Hey hey hey. That's okay." he responded, putting his arm around me, but respecting boundaries. "We can do whatever you want to do right now. Whatever you need. I'm all ears." I was surprised at how sweet this guy was. We just walked around, talking. He got to know me a little bit and I got to know him a little bit. This guy was super cool and really down to earth.

We decided to spend the other half of the night, drinking at various bars across the city.

"And so." he was saying. "I'm dangling my little sister, by her feet, off the bed. And she's screaming for our mom and I'm just like no way kid, you started this." I laughed as sipped on my vodka orange. I was enjoying myself, having a good time, but then I look up to see Cameron and Taj walking in. His lip looked swollen and his eyes were puffy like they were going to form a bruise.

I tried to quickly look away, but it was too late, and we made eye contact. He looked angry as he quickly stormed his way over here, Taj trying to keep up behind him.

"Who's this?" he asked me, his voice hoarse.

"Get the fuck out of face!" I screamed at him, already tipsy.

"We have an argument and you think it's okay to go out with another guy?" he asks me.

"Hey bud.," Michael said to him. "She said leave her alone." Cameron looked at him like he was stupid.

"Who even are you?" Cameron asked, squaring up to the guy.

"I'm about to beat your ass if you don't back off." Michael said.

"Mike don't." I tried to chime in.

"I'm her boyfriend bro." Cam said, but I quickly cut him off.

"You were my boyfriend." I said, sternly. "You messed that up."

"I made a mistake." Cameron said, stepping in front of me. "And you wouldn't even talk to me."

"This isn't what I brought you here for bro." Taj said. "Booboo and I need to separate you and Thomas before one of you ended up in this hospital. I had no idea Dove would be here, but let's just go."

"No I'm not going to go." Cameron said. "This is my girl bro." He stepped up into Michael's face.

"That's not what just came out of her mouth though, pussy." Michael said back. And just like that, Taj's arms were around me, trying to protect me from the brawl that was occurring between Cameron and Michael.  Once Taj got me far away enough, he went in between the two.

"Fucking stop!" he yelled at Cameron, grabbing him by the neck and slamming him on the floor. "You can't fucking win everything by fighting every fucking body!"

"Get off me." Cameron said, gasping between his words for air. With that, the bar security came over and started talking to them.

"Curly haired kid has got to go." I heard Mike say. "His buddy can stay, but he has to go." The security guard, picked up Cameron, no questions, and started carrying him outside.

"I'm so sorry Dove." Taj said, giving me a hug before following them outside.

"Wait." I said following behind Taj.

"Hey are you good?" Michael said, grabbing my arm gently.

"Yeah." I say back to him. "I'm just going to set somethings straight." Watching the security guard put Cameron down, I walked over to him.

"Dove." he said.

"Shut it." I said back. "We are done. We are over. I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt and you ran away with it. Fuck you, Cameron. We are done. Go home, take all your shit out the room and leave me alone."

"You don't mean that." he says.

"Bye Cameron." I say back, walking into the bar.

"Just come on dude." I heard Taj say. "Just come on. You don't need anymore drama for the rest of the night."

And just like that, Cameron and I were over.
