OUTER BANKS PREFERENCES & IMAGINES

SARAH

"Hey Y/N, Would you rather have nipples for eyes or eyes for nipples?" My head snaps to her as multiple giggles keep coming out of her mouth.

"Enough with the bullshit, Why'd you do it?" My gaze turns heavy on her, and her's turns bewildered. There's a cramped expression on her face an enraged on mine. Just too many emotions floating around us.

"What are you talking about?" Sarah shift in her seat with her hand cupping the jellyfish sting. I scoff in disbelief and start putting on my clothes.

"Don't play dumb with me Cameron, you know exactly what i'm talking about. I loved you Sarah, so much and when you told me you did so too you pushed me away! Why?!" Tears start brimming on her eyes as they run down my cheeks. For a minute there's no answer and I can't help but feel stupid.

"I pushed you away because it's what I do best. I can't have a person that loves me back without feeling scared."

"Scared of what exactly? That people are gonna see daddy's little princess with a pogue?"

"What? No! That's has nothing to do with it." She shakes her head lightly.

"Then what is it because I sure as hell don't see what else it could be." She sighs, looking away for the hundredth time.

"I get scared when i'm loved back, I-I feel like i'm gonna loose the person and by pushing you away I felt like I was saving myself from future heartbreak." A sob comes out of her as I try to process the information. For a split second I feel anger again but it all dissolves into sympathy.

"I wasn't gonna leave you, or hurt you or play you or whatever you feared. I spent every second of everyday with you, that wasn't gonna change." I sit next to her, slowly reaching to her wet cheeks. She smiles and bows her head.

"I'm sorry." I nod with a poky smile. "If it weren't for me things would've different."

"Sarah I loved you, and I still do but it's not in the same way, i've moved on, i'm with Kiara now." I get up and walk over to the boys who were finally back, I flip them off and watch Sarah hop in too as her words repeat on my head "Things could've been different."
