Bree's pov

- 2 weeks later -

"Okay mom I promise I'll keep you updated" I said flashing a fake smile.
"Okay sweetie you have fun"
"How is school fun?" I huffed
"Oh shut up" she laughed while hugging me.

I've been back at home for 2 weeks now to clear my head until school finally starts but now it's the last day of my mini vacation and me and mark are leaving. I'm not really ready to face Cameron again .. but I hope he's there when I return.
"I love you Ethan!" I smiled as I got into marks car
"Love you too" he smiled while beginning to wave as mark climbed in.
"Ready to go back?" Mark smiled as we drove down the road
"No" I sighed
"It's okay but listen to Ethan's advice tell him now you actually feel I know you like him."
"Yeah... I guess" I frowned while putting my headphones in and letting Blink-182 drown out the world.

*****

I waved bye to Mark as I made my way to my dorm. My heart was beating extremely fast. I was both excited and nervous. Excited because I get to see Cameron, nervous because he doesn't like me back.
Why does everything have to be so confusing? As I stood in front of the door, I began taking deep breaths only to find Cameron not here. I sighed and set down my bags to find a note on my pillow.

Bree,
I'm sorry for being such an ass. I would never hit you. Hopefully I'll see you again. If not.. goodbye.

-Cameron

I dropped the note down on the floor and texted Cameron, the only reason I have his number is if he's not here and I left my key.

Me- Cameron, it's okay I'm sorry too

Cameron- please come here.

Me- where?

Cameron- my house .. Here's my address ________ hurry. He's on his way back.

He? who is he? his dad? why would he be scared of his dad? Whatever the questions I need to get to Cameron. Sadly I don't have a car yet so I ran to marks room asked if I could borrow it and was on my way. The whole drive there I was so anxious I could throw up. After an hour of driving I pulled up to the address that Cameron gave me. How could anyone live here? The house looks horrible and abandoned. I pulled out my phone and called Cameron.

"Are you the only one in there? I'm here"
"Yeah I'm coming" he said sounding weak. He hung up and I saw him walk out, he was limping and had a gash over his left eyebrow. what the hell happened?

"Hey" I mumbled climbing into the seat beside me.
"Hi" I said nervously
"Drive off now before he comes back and kills us" he demanded
"Who?" I mumbled while speeding off
"Don't ask questions!" he barked back.

Here we go again, he was nice- ish. And now he's back to being hateful, but i wouldn't blame him he was staying in a house that looked like hell itself.
Once we got to campus he quickly walked ahead of me and to our room.he plopped down on his bed not even saying a word or a thank you to me. I sighed and just climbed up onto my bunk. About an hour later he finally spoke.

"Bree?"
"What?" I snapped
"Come down here" he mumbled, I ignored him. I was weighing my pros and cons whether to get off the bed or not.
"Please" he begged.
"What?" I said finally giving up and climbed down he ladder, now standing in front of him, he then got so close to me that I could feel his breath on my cheek.
"I need to tell you something" he purred as his lips brushed against mine causing my heart beat to race.
