She belongs with me

{Caleb}

As soon as I enter the pub, I see Camila at the bar, taking another shot. I look around and see Isaac sitting at a table with our other friends.

'Go,' he mouths to me and I nod, making my way to the brunette at the bar.

'Camila,' I say as I place my hand on her shoulder. She looks up to me and grins.

'Caleb!' she shouts. 'Decided to finally join us? Weren't you busy with your new girlfriend?'

'She isn't my girlfriend,' I say calmly. I know better than to upset Camila right now. It will make things even worse.

'Oh please,' she laughs. 'I saw the way you looked at her.'

'You know she has a boyfriend, right?' she says then.

'Yeah, I know,' I sigh. 'Olivia and I are just friends.' She laughs and takes another sip of her drink.

'Keep telling yourself that,' she mumbles.

'I'm gonna take you home,' I say to Camila. She shakes her head.

'I can't,' she murmurs. 'My parents can't see me like this.' She wants to grab her drink again, but I stop her.

'Isaac will take you home,' I say to her friend Celeste as I help Camila get up from the bar stool.

'Where are we going?' Camila mumbles as we make our way outside.

'My house,' I say to her. I know how her parents can be if she comes home drunk and I don't want to deal with any of that drama right now. She can stay at my place for the night.

Camila's body is numb, so it takes a while before we get to my car. I help her get in and sigh deeply when I close the door. Why couldn't she just stay away from alcohol for once?

Once we've arrived at my house Camila has fallen asleep. I carry her inside and am welcomed by the voice of my mother.

'Caleb, is that you?'

'Yes,' I answer. 'Camila is also with me. She's staying here for the night.' My mothers walks into the hallway with a surprised look on her face.

'I thought you broke up,' she says.

'We did,' I say. 'But she's drunk and she can't go home.' My mother nods and watches me as I carry Camila upstairs.

I gently lay her down on my bed.

'My clothes,' Camila mumbles.

'I know.' I pull her shoes and jeans off and place them on the chair in my room. Then I take her top off and I'm surprised to see she's not wearing a bra underneath it. I bite my lip and quickly put one of my hoodies over her head. Then I place the covers on top of her and start to undress myself as well until I'm left in nothing but my boxers.

When I lie in bed I check my phone. Olivia has sent me a text, saying that she's home. I send a text back, wishing her goodnight before I put my phone on the nightstand.

'Can you spoon me?' I hear Camila quietly ask.

'Cam, we're not together anymore,' I sigh. 'I don't think-'

'Please?'

Fine.

I shove over to her and wrap my arms around her body. She probably won't even remember this in the morning.

'I love you,' Camila whispers as she grabs my hand. I don't say anything back. It won't mean anything. It doesn't even mean anything to her. She's just saying it because she's drunk. As soon as she's sober, I'm not good enough for her anymore.

Soon, Camila is fast asleep. She's slightly snoring. She always does that when she has been drinking. I close my eyes as well and try to get some sleep.

{Olivia}

Sighing I grab Liams hand and gently squeeze it.

'I've missed you on my birthday,' I mumble. 'My parents were fighting again.' I don't know why I'm telling him everything that happened to me, but a part of me wishes he can hear me. Maybe it sounds crazy, but I can't help it. I want to talk to him so badly.

'I did make a new friend,' I tell Liam. 'His name is Caleb. He's the ex boyfriend of Camila. He's really nice. He took me to the fair to make me feel better.' I look at my boyfriends face for a moment. His eyes are still closed, like they have been for the past few weeks.

'I love you so much,' I whisper, feeling a tear roll down my cheek. 'Please get better.' I let my head rest on his bed, next to his body.

'Olivia?' I hear from afar.

'Olivia, honey, wake up.' Slowly I open my eyes and lift my head. Astrid is standing next to me.

'They need to do some checks on Liam,' Astrid explains. I nod and place a quick kiss on Liams lips before I lean back in my chair. I sigh and let a hand glide through my hair.

'Maybe you should go home, get some rest,' Astrid says as she lets her hand rest on my shoulder. 'I'll keep you updated.' I nod and get up.

Minutes later I'm in my car. I'm not sure where to go. I don't want to go home since my parents are there. I haven't spoken to them since last night. I snuck out this morning to go see Liam. Biting my lip, I stare at my phone before deciding to text Nora.

[11.23 AM]

Can I come over?

[11.24 AM]

Sure

I put my phone away and drive towards my best friends house.

'You hung out with Caleb?' Nora asks for conformation. I just told her about what happened last night.

'Yes, he took me to the fair,' I tell her. 'He's a really nice guy.'

'Such a shame he is with Camila,' Nora sighs.

'Actually, he isn't,' I say. 'They broke up.'

'Oh, really?' Nora raises her eyebrows. 'Why?'

'She cheated on him or something,' I tell her. 'He hasn't told me all the details.' Nora nods.

'But... I want to throw a party,' I say then. Nora's brown eyes light up.

'Yes!' She gives me a hug which makes me laugh.

'But you have to help me with everything,' I mumble and she nods.

'Of course I'll help you,' she says. 'I'm the party master. So when do you want to throw it? Next week?'

'Yeah, sure,' I shrug. We spend the next hours picking decorations, making a guest list and making a playlist with songs for the party.

(Isn't Caleb the sweetest guy ever? I'm kinda in love with him

Anyways, what do you guys think of the story so far?)
