* Cameron's POV*

This is already a shitty day. I walked around the peer with Alexa. I couldn't get rid of her on my way over here. She kept on annoying me until I let her come with me. I regret it, she won't shut the fuck up. I really don't want to hear about her sex life or whatever she talking about, I can care less. And to top it all off, It's getting harder and harder to walk in these stupid crutches.

I sigh frustrated. What am I even doing here? Why did I even come? Oh yeah! I guess I was desperate to remember Alice.. I wanted remember our first date.

I look around as memories flood my mind. Fuck. What has this girl done to me? I miss her so much, and I don't know how to cope with myself anymore. These last few days without her have been hell. And I need her. I always have, I've just been too stubborn to admit it. And now that I finally do, she's gone. But I can't go back in time and change anything, she doesn't want me anymore. And I need to get that through my head.

"Cameron!" Alexa waves her hands in front of my face.

"What?" I groan, rolling my eyes.

"Did you even hear what I was saying?" She asks annoyed.

"Uh no.. Sorry, what where you saying?" I ask, pretending to care about whatever she was saying.

To my surprise Alexa hasn't been all that bad, she's actually learned how to be a friend, and that's kind of what I need right now. I don't have very many friends. Nash, Carter, Shawn, Matt, Jack & Jack are all doing their own thing. Plus Alexa is the only person who is willing to put up with my shitty attitude.

"What are you thinking about?" She ask, and I shrug.

"Nothing much." I shrug. I'm definitely not going to tell Alexa my feeling. There is no way in hell.

"You don't have to hide it... I know you're thinking about Ali-"

"Don't. Don't say her name!" I warn, through gritted teeth. Her face falls from a smile into a frown, as her eyes fill with slight fear.

"Okay." She throws her hands in the air defeated.

I sigh frustrated, "Why did you even come with me?" I roll my eyes, as we keep walking along the peer.

"Because were friends. And that's what friend do." She shrugs, and I sigh annoyed. When is this girl going to understand that we are not really friends.

"I know what will make you feel better." She smirks.

"Enlighten me."

"Ice cream." She says pointing at an ice cream shop. I freeze, and I lose my breath. That's where I got the ice cream for Alice and I on our first date.

All of this is becoming fucking overwhelming. And I suddenly don't want to be here anymore.

"Nah. I'm good." I finally respond.

"Fine... But I want some. So I'll be right back okay?" She asks, and I nod.

"But after this, we are leaving!" I state, and she nods understandingly.

We walk to the shop, but there is a long line and I don't want to stand here. So I walk towards a bench right next to it. There's an annoying couple sitting there.

"Great." I sigh, as I crutch my way towards them.

As I get closer to them, I notice that the guy looked a lot like Jack. He was even wearing the same shirt Jack was wearing this morning. But that couldn't be him. I brushed the thought off and kept attempting to walk to the other bench beside them.
