Cameron's P.o.V
Zach tried calling me all weekend. I ignored them, he texted me I never replied, didn't even read them. We've never been this mad at each other before. Zach told me lies about Alexis, and I didn't know why. It upset me that we wouldn't be talk to each other for a while, or maybe we could just past our differences. "What differences?" I said out loud. "I mean I love Alexis, she's everything I've ever wanted. Zach says to not love her. Why would he try to ruin my chance or love with her? Its not like him." My phone vibrated and it was Zach again. I sent it to voice mail. I laid in my bed waiting for my mom to get home from the grocery store, while I watched carri as she took her nap. I got up and went into her room. She looked so peaceful, her baby blanket wrapped I bought for her from the mall the day she was born, the chuck taylors I got for her, last Christmas. "Why do you think Zach is lying to me, huh Carri?" I said brushing her cheek gently with my finger. She turned over from her side to on her back and opened her eyes. "Hi, Care bear." I said pulling my finger away. "Hi, cam cam. Zach." She said sitting up in her bed. "What about Zach? Is Zach lying to me? Would you lie to me?" I asked and for some reason expected her to have the answers. "ZaZa, no, no. ZaZa. Ahhhh. You yell at ZaZa. I love Cam Cam and ZaZa." She said and I focused more on her telling me that I yelled at Zach. I didn't think she could hear us that day, she was asleep I thought. "Okay, well Zach won't be coming back for a while. So lets go have dinner I think mommy is on her way home." I said with an upset look on my face. "Ahhhhhh!" She said holding her face with both hands and making her mouth wide to make a bigger noise as I picked her up and carried her to the living room. I texted my mom to see if she was on her way and I put Carri down to play with her toys on the floor. It was 5 and all I did was text Alexis. I would usually be with the guys in the Porter's garage. I thought with a glum face. My phone rang. It was Alexis. "Hey, pick me up for school tomorrow? Maybe hang afterwards?" she texted. I smiled and texted back. "Yeah, sure where do you wanna go hang at?" "uh, maybe at the football field?" She texted. The football field, that was make out city. I got the biggest grin and said yes. But then realized I'd never kissed a girl, I was eighteen and never kissed anyone. It was to late I sent the message. I sat there for a minute wondering what I could do, but I know I did not want to cancel. At that moment my sister and mom came in through the door, carrying food. "Cameron go get the rest, Casey start putting the groceries away. Carri baby are you awake." My mom said walking towards Carri. I got up and went outside to get the groceries from the car, and I saw Sydney our next door neighbor walking over with her little brother Chase. "Hey do you need any help?" She yelled out. "Nah, I got it. Hey Chase, Hi Sydney." I said grabbing the rest of the bags as my dad pulled in. Me and Sabrina hung out before I met Zach, we would be together twenty four seven and then we stopped hanging out because we had different views on things. "Hey Cameron, is Casey inside?" Chase asked. "Yeah, come on in." My dad said. "Cameron, lead the lady in, and invite her to dinner." He said winking at me. I didn't see what he was going for, but I still asked her. "You wanna join us, maybe even Chase." I said walking into the house. "Yeah, what are we having?" She said with a smile. "Uh, I don't know lets find out." I said walking into the living room to find my parents with Carri. "Hey whats for dinner?" I asked. "Oh, Hi Sabrina. You staying for dinner?" My mom asked. "Yeah, I guess I am." She said with a huge smile. "Oh why don't I make what you guys would die for as kids. Yeah I'll do that, I'll make my maccoroni casserole. Remember you guys would eat that up. Oh this is great!" My mom said excitedly. I also remembered me and Sydney always asking my mom for her maccoroni casserole, I still asked for it. I smiled at the memory, Sydney looked at me. I looked at her, and smiled real quick and took it back. She just stared at me. I walked back into the kitchen were Casey was putting the groceries away, her and Chase were talking about the latest episode of Glee. "Hey Cameron. Hi Sydney." Casey said interrupting Chase. "Hey Casey." "Hi, Casey, how are you?" Sydney asked sitting next to her brother. "Good, you?" Casey asked. "I'm okay." She said looking down. My checked my phone and had 9 missed calls from Zach and one from Alexis. I called back Alexis, walking upstairs. "Hey, did you call. I'm sorry I was putting away groceries for my mom." I said politely. I said closing my door. "I don't care what you were doing, you should answer when I call." She said all sassy. "Okay, what do you need?" I said confused. "I need you. I want you. I can't wait for tomorrow." she said seductively. "Oh really?" I said making my voice deeper and seductively. "yeah." She said with an angels voice. "Cameron! Get down here!" My dad yelled. "Oh I have to go, I'm sorry babe see yah tomorrow?" I said compassionately. "Yeah, whatever." She said getting sassy again, and hung up. I walked back downstairs. "Yeah dad?" "When we have company you stay downstairs." He said with seriousness. "Yeah, got it." I said. "Mom, can I show Chase the audition thing on the computer upstairs?" Casey yelled from the kitchen. "Yeah, I'll call you when dinner is ready." My mom yelled back. "Okay!" They walked upstairs which left me with Sydney. It was some what awkward, we didn't say anything to each other. After a while dinner was ready and we all sat down for maccoroni casserole and ham with peas. "So, Sydney. How's school?" my dad asked passing the peas. "Uh, its good. I don't want it to end, being a senior." She said looking at me. "what college are you planning on going to?" My mom asked, making Carri a small plate and giving it to me to put it in front of her. "Uh, I might just go to a local college I don't want to leave home." She said picking at her food. "What are you gonna major in?" My dad asked. "Journalism, I want to interview people, like bands, actors, singers, stuff like that and write for a newspaper or a magazine." "Interesting. Maybe you'll write about the outerspacepoliticians." My mom said laughing."Yeah maybe." Sydney said smiling at me, I thought she understood. We all finished dinner and I cleared the table. "Cameron why don't you guys go out for ice-cream? I'll give you the money for it." My dad asked. "yeah, please Cameron?" Casey begged. "Okay, I'll do it." I said giving her a hug. "Here take the van, take all the time you want and Carri." My dad said walking upstairs. I went into the living room where I found Carri playing with Sydney. Even though Carri was a sweet heart, she wouldn't go near any new people until she trusted them, and that usually took a while. Zach was one of the first ones to touch her, but it took him a few months, same with Nathan and Michael. But there she was with Sydney, playing blocks, as she laughed and clapped her hands, giving high fives. Sydney turned around. "Hey, you wanna play." She asked biting her lip. "Carri you wanna go for ice-cream." I said walking towards her. Sabrina got up and fixed her skirt. I got a glance of her lacey underwear as I bent down and I couldn't help but stare. Carri hit me with a block to bring me back to her. "Oh, thanks Carri. Okay lets go." I said grabbing her. We went to Chrissy's Sweet shop. It was me, Casey, Chase, Carri, and Sydney. We sat outside and watched Carri play on the playground, and Chase sweet talking on my sister. I didn't really like it but I was doing the same thing with his sister. Sydney laughed at my jokes, and smiled at every thing that I thought was awkward, or wrong to do. We had a meaningful conversation and then some. She really liked my bands music and we talked about how much we still had in common. I never realized why I didn't like her back in the sixth grade, that's what ruined our friendship, she liked me and I didn't like her, I wasn't interested. We got home around 9 and I left Carri in her bed, and let Chase say goodbye to Casey downstairs. Sydney followed me. I put Carri down and closed her door. I looked at Sydney in her eyes. She had beautiful blue/green eyes with brown hair. I got a little closer to wear our noses touched. "I had fun." I said with my deep voice. "Me to." She said taking my hand. I put my hand on her waist and brought her closer, and our lips met. I kissed her softly at first, then the kiss got rougher. I put her against the wall, and kissed her neck. "Cameron, stop." She said, but I could hear that she didn't want it to stop. I kissed her neck one more time and then her lips and just held her in my arms. "I'm sorry." I whispered. "Its okay." She said hugging me back. "I'll see you tomorrow?" She asked pulling away. "No, I'm gonna hang with Alexis, maybe some other time." I said lying to her. If I could make Sydney breathless, I could make Alexis beg for air. I walked her down the stairs and broke up Casey's and Chase's make out session. "Goodnight." we all said and went to bed.
