**I absolutely love the band and the acoustic version of their song that's on the side.  They're called sleeping with sirens. =)  Kellin Quinn's voice is heavenly!  I also love the faces he makes lol ;)  I have a close friend who looks JUST like him.  It makes me very happy.**

“Hello!” She said happily bouncing up to me.

“Um…hi.” I said forcing on a smile. 

“You can call me Ari.” She said sweetly.  “I’m so happy to meet you!  Are you a friend of Cam’s?”

“I am.” I said.

“Yes, she is.  Now we’re going to go upstairs if you don’t mind.” Cam said.

“Oh!  But Cam I haven’t seen you in forever.”

“Yeah, and last time you were here things didn’t go well.”

She looked hurt by that.  “That was a long time ago, things have changed.  I didn’t know you well at the time.” She said looking down.

He sighed.  “I know.  I’m sorry.  Now, if you don’t mind I have to talk to Anna for a little while.”

“Okay.” Ari gave a half hearted smile.

Cam grabbed my hand and when he did I saw Ari’s eyes go wide. 

He pulled me upstairs into his room.  Beth had run off somewhere and is probably playing with Ari by now.

When we got in he shut the door and I sat down on the edge of his bed.  “So, what exactly happened?” I asked.

He turned to me.  “Can I just establish something quickly?”

“Sure.”

“Where exactly are we in our relationship?” He asked sheepishly.

I smiled a little.  “Well…at the preschool Beth said you were my boyfriend.”

“Yes, and what do you think about that?”

“Well, we don’t want to disappoint her do we?” I said smiling brightly at him.

He looked at me with wide eyes then turned away.

“What?!  What’s the matter?!” I asked getting up and walking towards him.

“I…just realized something.”

“What?”

“That maybe being together is a bad idea.”
