Ashley Greene's Party
Grand Hotel Parco dei Principi
Rome, Italy
9:16 PM
Cam and Claire's Convo.
"Hi Claire," Cam chimed shyly.
"Ummm…. hey?" Claire was trying to hide her excitement and play hard to get. Massie would have been so proud.
"… I missed you…" Cam added timidly. There was no response.
"Claire I'm really sorry for what I did and I missed you like hell and I still love y-" Cam started but was interrupted
"Look Cam!" Claire stated looking into his one blue and one green eye. The sight made her miss him; she wanted to kiss him and hug him but it also made her downright furious! She remembered Cam and Kori making out in his backyard, and how he had the guts to show up at school the next day with Kori glued onto him, like peanut butter on a cracker. The mixed emotions made her go crazy, she was about to yell at him but she couldn't find the words. She just stood there with tears rolling down her face, until she remembered that he was waiting for a response. "Don't say it! Don't even dare say it! If you really loved me, you wouldn't have cheated on me with Kori, a total soccer stalker! If you really loved me, you wouldn't have come to school the next day with your arm around Kori and leaving me to answer all the questions about our break-up that didn't even happen. If you really loved me, you wouldn't have made me cry. And most of all, if you really loved me you would've made sure I was okay with this!" Claire shouted saying 'love me' with the expression and tone you would use to say 'dog poo'. Claire's face was blotchy and her makeup was starting to smear, but she didn't care.
"Holy crap… I didn't think talking to her would lead to this…CRAP! WHAT DO I DO!?!" Cam thought awfully panicky.
Claire could feel the heat rising to her head. Her cheeks were burning, her stomach was in knots, and her throat locked; It felt like she had a frog in her throat that just wouldn't come out. She felt sick, not the, I'm gonna puke sick, but the, I'm stressed and I need to get away sick.
She couldn't handle it anymore; the pressure, the stress, the anxiety; it was all getting the best of her! She sprinted out of the room, faster than she had ever even sprinted from the paparazzi. She bolted down the hall, ignoring the whoops and hollers from the guys. She was about half way down the hall when she heard her name being called.
"Claire!" the voice echoed
"Claire! Claire!!!" the voice screamed again, only this time the voice was closer.
"CLAIRE!!!!!" The voice shouted, only this time she felt someone grab her arm. She yanked it away and went into the girl's bathroom. She kicked all the LBRs out and locked the entrance to the bathroom and wiped away her tears. She simply washed her face and re-did her makeup. She had to admit that even with her makeup smeared, she looked good. At first she went for her all-natural look like she had on before, but then she decided to make it more of an exotic look to make Cam pay for hurting her again.
She strutted out of the bathroom, keeping a straight expression to make it look like nothing had ever happened. She looked hot, fierce and delighted. Claire saw Cam standing near the bathroom door waiting for her, but she just plainly brushed pass him on her way to the restaurant. She heard him calling her once again but refused to listen.
After a few minutes, she realized that Cam wasn't calling her anymore. In fact, the halls of the hotel were also, very quiet. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Confused, she turned around, she saw everyone staring at her in admiration. Ohh, that's why it's so quiet. Pshh… I should've known that, but one thing, where ISCam??? She thought. She threw the crowd a wink and all the guests started talking once again.
She was still searching for Cam; until she felt someone's strong arms grab her, and pull her into the janitor's closet. There was one arm around her waist and another on her mouth, keeping her from screaming. She struggled to get out of the 'kidnapper's' grip, but she wasn't strong enough. She didn't know what to do so she bit his hand.
"OUCH!!! SON OF A BITCH!!! THAT HURT!" The stranger yelped in pain while letting her go. She recognized that voice right away. She turned around and let a sigh of relief.
"Damn it Cam! You scared the crap out of me!" Claire said. "Don't you ever, EVER do that again!" Claire declared, attempting to keep a straight face but failed and burst out laughing. She stopped as soon as she remembered that she was pissed at him. She then became furious at him; she wasn't in the mood for more drama, so she walked out on him once again.
Cam followed her to the restaurant for dinner. Even though the dinner buffet didn't start for another good 20 minutes, it was packed. Everyone was staring at the cooks and waiters as they set everything up. Claire searched the room for an empty table. Once she found one, she sat down and waited for Massie to come down with Derrick and join her.
Cam decided to try talking to her once again. He wasn't the one to back down so easily.
"Claire, I know you think everything I just said is shit, but you've gotta believe me!" Cam took her silence as a sign to go on. "Claire, I was stupid and you were my first girlfriend! I felt as if our relationship was going too fast, like I already loved you. But the truth is, I didn't know what love felt like, I didn't know if the feeling I was having was love or some other emotion. I had to know what I was feeling; I was so friggen confused! I didn't know what to do, so I came up with the conclusion that if I dated someone else for a couple weeks, I would know how I was feeling. So I dated Kori, I didn't want to, but she was my only choice so I did." Cam finished. Claire just looked at him blankly; there was no visible emotion on her face. She looked like she was trying to soak all that info in.
"Then why didn't you tell me? We could've taken a break for a while and dated other people. I would've been completely fine with that. But no, you had to go behind my back and cheat on me with Kori." Claire responded saying Kori like how you would say baby barf. She then stood up and continued speaking, "do you know how that made me feel? Do you know how many sleepless nights I had because of you? Do you? DO YOU!!!" Claire said now yelling.
Cam pulled her back down and had her sit on the chair beside him. Honestly, he didn't know how to respond so he just made up some random response.
"I'm sorry Claire, but I didn't know how you would take it. I didn't want to hurt you at all. I figured that I'd go out with Kori for a week or two, sort out my feelings and then dump her. I didn't want us to take a break; I couldn't stand seeing you with some other guy even if it was for a week." Cam said thinking that was an okay response.
"Oh… so you didn't tell me because you were being a selfish, inconsiderate BASTARD!" Claire started. "You couldn't stand me with someone else," She imitated. "Wow Cam, wow! That's all I have to say about that. And what was your other reason? It was something along the lines of 'you didn't wanna hurt me', right? HAH! How do you know how I felt for the past five years about you? I've been hurt, Cam, hurt, by no one else, but you." Claire replied, starting to feel a little guilty when she saw his face drop. Cam had no response. She was right!, he thought. Claire started saying something to him again but he wasn't paying any attention. He was lost in her piercing blue eyes. Without knowing what he was doing, he started to lean in and he kissed her.
Claire was in shock for a second, but then she evaporated into the kiss and started to kiss back. The kiss was so passionate, and soft. It was filled with love and Claire couldn't find the courage to break away until she remembered Kori. She became fuming and frustrated. She pulled away fast and gave him a good slap. It was good and hard. The compact of her hand and his cheek made such a loud sound that the entire restaurant went silent and looked at one their favorite superstars and one of their favorite soccer players. Cam's cheek was bright red. Claire felt good slapping him but not good enough. She looked around and at the still-being-set-up buffet tables. The first one she saw was the desert table. She snatched an ice-cream sundae and dumped it all over Cam. She felt very good, there was an ear-to-ear smile on her face that had victory spelled all over it. She, then, looked around the restaurant, she saw everyone staring at them. She recognized two familiar people, with their mouths dropped wide open and one of those people with a finger pointing at her and Cam. It was Massie and Derrick. Claire stomped over to Massie and grabbed her. All of a sudden there was applause and cheering for Claire as she and Massie marched out of the restaurant to find their friends.
Cam just sat there, wondering what just happened.

(Cam's point of view of what just happened)
Cam sat there with his mouth wide open. A fly could've flown in and back out and he wouldn't have noticed. Derrick rushed to his side.
"Dude! What just happened?" Derrick asked chuckling at how ridiculous at how Cam looked.
Cam explained everything that just happened leaving Derrick shocked!
"Claire bit you!! Haha!!!" Derrick laughed
"It's not funny! What am I going to do! I need her back?" Cam asked, desperate.
"I don't know man, I don't know…"Derrick thought about what Cam could do but he couldn't think of anything.
"Anyways, forget about me. What happened with you and Massie?" Cam asked. Derrick smirked as he explained everything that happened with great detail.
"You're so lucky!" Cam replied getting depressed.
I have to get Claire and Cam back together, even if that's the last thing I do. I'm gonna need help though…I'll need more than help… I'll need Massie's help! Derrick thought as he looked at his wet and frowning best friend.
