Broken Trust//Dove Cameron: Fan-Fiction

//Almost Caught//

"Okay, so I heard Thomas go out of the tent last night, And he didn't come back til like thirty minutes later." Sofia tells me as I brush my teeth in the mirror. I focus my eyes on the toothpaste a little too much, and Sofia notices.

"Oh, really?" I say, acting as if I wasn't making out with him this morning, and that's why he was out so late.

"Yeah, I just-" She trembles, and pain fills my chest.

"Sofia what's wrong?" I say placing a hand on her shoulder, and tears run down her cheeks.

"I just- I have a feeling he's cheating on me." She says, and my heart literally breaks. Tears begin to fill my eyes, and contemplate if I should tell her or not. She'd forgive me right? No, I can't tell her, she is already hurt enough.

"Just, just give him the benefit of the doubt. Trust, trust is important in a relationship." Wow, rich coming from me. I was so angry that Sofia and Tom did this to me, yet here I am repeating history.

"I know, maybe I am just being paranoid." She says wiping her tears away, and I hug her.

"I don't think that, it's normal to have doubts in the beginning." I say, and rub my hand on her back. I can't f**king put up with this, only a couple of hours in, and the guilt is taking me over.

"Hey, what's the matter?" Sofia says, and it's then I realize that I have full on water works running down my face.

"Oh, huh? Yeah, I am fine, I just don't want you to feel this way." I recover wiping my tears away like they're nothing. Tears of guilt, that's what they are.

"Oh, true. Hey, let's have a good time at the beach. No tears." She says hugging me, with a smile bright on her face. How could I have done this to the people I love most in my life.

She gathers her hair brush and her necessities, and I continue to brush my hair into a ponytail. She smiles and walks out of the restroom. I flinch at the sound of the door shutting. I continue to look at my reflection in the mirror, and literally cannot recognize myself. We start shooting some episodes right when I get back. So when I get back home, I leave again for LA. I am not sure when I am going to break the news to Tom, but I need to do it, otherwise I will be haunted by this guilt.

...

"Come on! Just get in the water!" Tom yells out to me, and I look at my bathing suit. It's just a red and white polka dot two piece. My hair is pulled into a ponytail, and I am wearing a red and white polka dot head band, that tops off with a bow.

"Okay!" I say running to the water, and Tom waves his hands signaling for me to come.

"That's it. Come on baby. That's my baby!" He says, and I stop running. Not because I am tired, but because of the choice of his words. His words hit me hard, and I cannot breath. I hold my chest, and Tom comes out of the water to meet me. Tears fill my eyes, and I am gasping for air. I feel like I have just been hit by a truck.

"Baby, are you okay?" Tom says as he wraps his arms around me. I nod, and we walk to our spot.

"Here. Drink this." Tom says handing me a water bottle, and I take it then take a sip.

"Thank you." I say still crying, and he holds my hand.

"Why are you crying?' he asks, and I look into his eyes. There is so much life in them, so much joy, I cannot ruin that by telling him what happened.

"Nothing, I was just having a panic attack, I just got really scared." I said, and he nods. It isn't a full lie, I did have a panic attack, I used to get a lot of these. Though that was not the reason I cried. I cried, because I realized that I am not the same girl anymore, I am not Tom's 'baby' anymore. At least not after last night.
