Cameron

"So let me get this straight." Luke began saying. "China confesses her feelings to you and ya kiss Dove in response?"

"Yes.." I mumbled.

"Well if we start packing your bags now, we'll be able to get you across the world in 26 hours, tops." he chuckled. "You'll get a new name, start a new life."

"Dude." I said. "Come on man, help me here."

"Alright alright." he said. "Well first things first.. why?"

"With Dove it was just the spur of the moment thing. That wasn't suppose to happen." I said. "At all."

"Anddddd?" he questioned.

"Fuck you mean and?" I questioned back.

"You're afraid to love again aren't you, Cam?" he questioned again. I sighed. Truth is, yes I am.

"And what if I am, Luke?" I questioned, trying to maintain myself.

"You're exaggerating that fear with the wrong girl." he said. "It's China, Cameron. She's crazy about you. She always has been. If I were her, I wouldn't just now be ending things with you. I would of dropped your ass along time ago."

"She's been waiting on you." he added. "For years bro. Anyone with eyes can see how she looks at you. And I doubt she's sleeping with a boat load of guys. She wanted you to make the call."

"Why did it have to be me?" I asked. "Why do the guys always have to make the call?"

"Missing the point here, brother." he said. "You fucked up dude. Big time. And now it's up to you to fix it."

"I love her." I said.

"Then why?" he asked. "And don't tell me it's because you didn't think she loves you too. You knew this whole time."

"Afraid to love." I admitted. "Not sure I was ready to commit to one pussy.." We both shared a laugh after that one.

"But no, for real." I continued. "China has it all. The personality, the smarts, the looks, the sex. None of these hoes can touch her, bro. And sleeping around is fun, doing it safely, of course. With Selena, it's pure looks."

"That bitch is fire." he laughed. "Can't believe she let me smash in high school."

"She'd let any dude smash." I said. "With Kristi, it's simply just because I hate her boyfriend, Callum. All the other girls, late night mistakes, intense flirting, one thing leads to another."

"But if you love her, you should be willing to let that shit go." he said.

"Can it wait?" I asked, running my hand over my face.

"For what?" he questioned.

"Kinda.. rescheduled things with Selena." I chuckled.

"Sick, Boyce." he said. "You're a sick dude." I shrugged my shoulders, running my hands through my hair.

"You love China, but you're about to go fuck some bitch that does not matter." he added.
