We Could Be Best Friends But I Want Your Best Friend (Down With Webster Fanfic)

Chapter 23

u guys are gonna hate me

--

I stared in shock, my jaw agape, as Camm pressed his foot down further on the gas pedal. Everything was just so hard to take in. He didn't love Hailey? He was interested in me? But that isn't the issue that needs to be dealt with. I'm more worried about how fast we were going - 120 km per hour to be exact.

After putting all the pieces together, I came up with two different possibilities.

Number one; he is mentally insane and should be taken to the looney bin, effective immediately.

Or, number two; he was screwing with some dope before our happy-go-giddy-make-up drive.

Although I'm pretty sure it's number two.

"Camm, please slow down," I tried to say calmly, but my voice came out uneven and shaky.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I just, wasn't in love like I used to be. I tried, though. I tried. I tried so hard! But it was you. Ever since we decided to go on this stupid camping trip, i-it was you! I tried to stay in love with Hailey but I couldn't. I thought ma-maybe if she was smoking dope with me, I wouldn't think about you. But s-she said no. I'm so sorry, Jess."

He continued to whisper "I'm sorry" under his breath, all the while, still gaining speed on this deserted highway.

I wanted to cry.

First of all, I'm terrified that Camm is intoxicated and driving. Second, I'm feeling extremely confused. Third, I feel horrible for Hailey.

And fourth... Camm is driving while high.

"Okay. Cameron Hunter. Stop this car. Right now."

He shook his head sadly, tears streaming down his face as we climbed higher and higher in speed.

120 km.

"Camm, stop."

With my heart racing, eardrums pounding, and head spinning, he said one final thing before it happened.

"I'm sorry, Jessica."

Then everything went black.
