Chapter 7
Zach's P.o.V
Alexis wasn't like any other slut. She would only have sex with guys who were virgins, sadly I was the one who started that. Me and Nathan had just written a new song and it was Alexis first pool party unsupervised. She had asked us to perform and we agreed, I didn't like Alexis, I had no interest. But after we performed our new song "Can't sleep Tonight." she came up to me and at that time Michael had lost his virginity and he teased me about it, she offered and I went up to her room and did it. I left Cameron alone on set and he was pushed into the pool and he had texted me that he wanted to go home because he was wet, when I was almost done, I finished and ran to him. It felt nice and right at the moment but afterwards I felt guilty I felt dirty, I would never have done that to Cameron if I could I would go back and stop myself. I don't blame Michael, I blame me, I thought as I almost ran over a squirrel who was crossing the street, but I stopped just in time to let him cross. In a way I had to tell him, she planned on using him and then sex, then dumping him like nothing, but he was everything. Cameron always wanted someone to hold in his arms, someone to kiss every morning, someone who could take away all the negative thoughts, someone who he could depend on, someone who he could love in ways he couldn't love his sisters. Alexis wasn't this girl. Alexis always knew about his crush, and she was just waiting for a time to use for her own benefit. Alexis was gonna ruin more than my friendship with Cameron, she was gonna ruin his heart, his experience of having a girlfriend, of having someone to love, and he was gonna be blinded. Should I tell him or keep my mouth shut? I thought pulling up to his drive way. Or have him figure it out on his own? I turned off my car. Cameron would hate me if I told him about me and Alexis. I said to myself getting out of the car. Should I break his heart now or have her break it? I thought walking into his house. But would he believe me? I thought walking up to his room. Would he forgive me? I walked into his room. "Heyy man!" He said to me giving me a high five. "Hey, what'cha doin?" I said with a glum face. "Texting Alexis. She's so funny, and she sent me a photo. God she's cute." He said with the biggest grin I've only seen when his sisters made him proud, like the first time Carri walked to him, or when Casey won best performance on speech team. It was a grin that wasn't an everyday thing, only special occasions. And I realized that I had to tell him, no matter what. I thought sitting in his computer chair watching him laugh and smile on his bed. "Cameron." I said with seriousness. "Yeah man?" He said smiling at his phone waiting for it to ring. "Um there's something you should know. Well I should confess to something." I said looking at the floor. He looked away from his phone and looked at me, with a serious face. "What, you can tell me anything man." I looked at him, he was serious he looked at me with eyes that said I won't judge you. "I had sex with Alexis." I said looking at him, waiting for a reaction. He had a confused and almost hurt look on his face, and stood up. "You did what?" He spat out walking away from me. "I had sex with Alexis, the first time we played at her party Junior year." I said trying to sound compassionate. "I heard you the first time, you knew how I felt about her. You know how I still feel about her." He said almost sounding like he was gonna cry. He looked at his wall, his back turned to me. "I know, I'm sorry I never had any intention to hurt you or have sex with her." I said with an apologetic voice. He took a deep breath and turned around. "I forgive you. Its okay and it stings but I know she had already had sex, and this is good I need some pointers on how she is in bed." He said smiling at me. I faked a smile. I hoped that this would make him not want her anymore. He sat back on the bed and went back to smiling at it. "No, Cameron. Look she's not what you think she is." I said walking to him and talking in an angry voice. "What do you mean. Dude she's everything. Sexy, funny, makes me smile, my heart races every time my phone rings and I know its her. She's everything." He said with a face I've never seen before, and I knew he was more in love with her than I thought. "No, its lies. She's using you. She's not the perfect barbie doll that you think she is." I said getting even more angry. "How do you know. You had sex with her, that's it. You never bothered to know her. At least I'm doing that before the sex." He said standing up and getting in my face. "Dude you obviously are stuck in your fantasy world, dude she's a slut. She's a bitch, a red head devil. You're too good for her." I said to him pushing him away from me. "Don't ever call my girlfriend the devil, maybe you just want her back. You think she's to good for ME. You think that I'm so not ready for a relationship, you think I'll get hurt, you think I'm stupid." He spat back at me pushing me with greater force. "I'm just trying to watch out for you, you're my best friend. And if I wanted her I could already have her. She'd be in my arms every night if I wanted that. Because she didn't want to let me go that night. The only reason I let go was because you're embarrassing ass was dumped in the pool!" I said leaving and once I walked outside to my car, I regretted everything I said. I was a terrible friend, again I blamed myself.
