The next day Cameron woke up bright and early for her flight to North Carolina. "You have everything?" Jeff asked her as he loaded her luggage in the back of the taxi. "Yeah, I've been gone too long, I want to see Riley." Cameron said, her dog Riley was usually taken care of by Beth when she and Jeff were gone, but she had to see him.

Jeff laughed and followed Cameron into the taxi, they arrived at the airport a few minutes later. She seemed rather chipper, he could only assume her date with Phil last night had went great.

They boarded the plane, Cameron in the window seat and Jeff on the outside. She still had that same goofy grin plastered to her face. "Someone's happy." Jeff said.

Cameron looked toward Jeff. "Oh that's right, I haven't told you."

"Damn straight you haven't."

"Patience, Jeffrey." Cameron giggled. She pushed her glasses up and crossed her legs Indian style. She turned toward Jeff and uttered her rendition of last night's events.

"D'awww" Jeff said mocking her. "Little Cameron's on cloud 9..." he poked her sides. "Shut up." she squirmed in her seat. "I take it you had fun?"

"The time of my life" She responded, grinning.

Jeff smiled to himself; he hadn't seen Cameron so happy in a while, he was glad his best friend was finally breaking her shell. Jeff's phone buzzed, he pulled it out. 1 Unread Message: Mickie James. Jeff quirked an eyebrow up and opened it. He started chuckling and Cameron shot him a look. "What?" She asked wondering why her rainbow friends was suddenly laughing. Jeff showed her the screen and she saw herself in in the hotel room in the dress. "Hey that's me." She said.

There was a pause. "Why are you laughing?" She asked.

"I never thought in a million years I'd see you wear a dress."

"Mickie did it." Cameron said pointing the metaphoric finger at her friend, who wasn't there at the moment.

Jeff saved the picture. "Hey delete that." She said reaching for the iPhone that Jeff had in a tight grip.

"No I'm saving that to hold against you later." He said jamming the phone down into the farthest depths of his pocket.

"Fuck you." Cameron shot a scowl at him.

"I don't thing Phil would be too happy..." Jeff said trailing off. Cameron smacked his arm.

'Please buckle your seat belts and shut off your phones the plane is now taking off; destination Cameron, North Carolina.' the flight attendant spoke overhead. The plane did as instructed and random chatter started amongst the passengers.

Cameron and Jeff fell into a not so blissful sleep. The seats on the plane weren't exactly ideal for sleeping but both had gotten accustomed to sleeping anywhere they could because of their schedule.

Cameron walked through the threshold that separated her from the hallway of her apartment building from her warm living room. She turned the key and pushed open the heavy door, she was immediately greeted by an all too excited black lab. "Hey Riley!" Cameron said excitedly as she knelt down and scratched her dog's head. He ran to the back of the apartment and grabbed a toy. She heard a squeak followed by the sound of the dog's nails against the hardwood floor. He jumped up against her leg, a stuffed teddy bear in his mouth. He bit down and it squeaked. "Oh you want to play?" Cameron said grabbing the toy and chucking it as far down the hallway as she could, Riley hot on the toys path. Cameron smiled, Riley kept her company, she didn't know what she'd do without him.

Cameron turned back around and locked the door. She set her keys on the entry table and wheeled her suitcase into her bedroom, where she found a black mound sprawled out across her bed, it's tail beating against the headboard as it reared up letting out a playful growl. Cameron jumped on the bed, to which Riley fled off and ran somewhere in the complex; his beloved toy in his mouth. Cameron smiled as she heard the jingling of his tags as he ran amongst the house.

Cameron powered up her laptop and turned on her phone, she had just finished cooking dinner and was ready to go to bed, right after she checked her email.

She heard the ring from her computer and made herself comfortable and opened up her email.

Re: 'I'm done'

Cameron looked at the message questionably. She double clicked it and revealed a long chain of messages back and forth between two people. She read the date sent, 'January 16th, 2003' her stomach dropped as she scrolled down. She stopped at the last reply, her eyes scanning it intently.

'You're never leaving, you won't make it. You're not good enough for anybody and no one will accept you like I will. You're fucking yourself over. You love me, and no one else. If you leave me now I swear I'll find you. I will.'

By now Cameron had tears streaming down her cheeks. Her wrists started shaking as she scrolled down, looking at the last part of the email and when it was sent. Today, 9:32 am.

Cameron started curling up as she silently read to herself, her lips moving with each word that she processed.

'Found you.'
