so, i was super bored today/yesterday so i decided to update.
not that you guys would care, but i did anyways. sooooo... i lost my train of thought. that happens to me frequently. maybe i should just get on with the story:
OH, almost forgot : Disclaimer: Not mine
Once Grant and I pulled into Macey's driveway, I bolted out the door and up the stairs to the room I was staying in. Right now, I did not want to have to deal with Grant and his awkward older brother lectures about my love life. He still hadn't really said anything about Josh, other than telling me he was going to RIP HIM UP (That's Grant speaking, not I) after he heard about "us" on the news. Even though I hate Josh right now, I still care about him. That, and I don't want my brother going to jail. Because when he says something like that, he's going to do it.
After finally deleting all of Josh's messages, I walk into Macey's room, careful to avoid Grant in the hallways.
"So, what time are they coming over?"
"Well, Liz and Bex should be over at about six-ish , and then the guys at around 8." Macey replies, scarcely looking up from painting her toes.
"Okay, sounds good. Shouldn't you be, I don't know, doing homework? You still go to school!" I say to her. Honestly, I don't know how she passed a single class without turning anything in.
"Pshh, no way. It's April. That mean's it's almost June. That means it's almost summer. And that means no school. So why do homework now? Besides, I was the best thing that ever happened to Roseville, before you and Grant came along." Macey lectures.
"Well, unlike you, I actually care about my grades. I'm going to go start AND finish my homework, and you can do whatever you do while not doing homework!" I leave in a huff before cracking up. This is how it's always been, Macey not caring and me sometimes being the overachiever. When we were younger, when went to elementary school together. I would finish her and my homework before Grant even started, so most often I would finish his too. I missed hanging out with Macey, between going to Gallagher (I started in 7th grade) and shooting movies, we had only seen each other during some summers and at parties.
I trudged back to my room, only to find Grant sitting on my bed. Oh boy, here it comes.
"Look Cam, I know you hate me being nosy and all, but you are my little sister, and I just don't want you to get hurt." He says trying to keep me from running into a closet, locking it, and not coming out for eight hours (I had a really bad awkward stage). I free fall face down on my bed, and land with an oooofff.
"I know Grant, but I just don't want to talk about it." I say, trying to avoid the conversation.
"But Cam, I thought coming here would help. I thought you wanted to come here. You just seem more distant towards me than ever." Grant says. I sit up and he puts his arm around my shoulder, half hugging me.
"What do you want me to do? I'm not crying my eyes out, but I am still heartbroken." I tell him, slow tears starting to fall.
"It was an impulse thing. Macey said if I ever needed someplace safe from the press, to come here. I thought it would help. But I can't run away. Josh still cheated, and I'm still broken-hearted." I'm sobbing into Grant's shirt. He stops trying to talk to me and just has me sit there, crying into his shirt, finally really letting it sink in that Josh and I are done. Over. That I will never carelessly walk on the beach with him, or have him hold me in his arms. That I will never look at him the same. That I will never love him the same. He will still have a place in my heart, but that place will be broken.
After I stop blubbering and crying, Grant starts to get up.
"Look Cam, I'm sorry, for everything that you are going through. I told the guys that I would chill with them at Nick's until we come here. Are you okay?" He asks. When Grant isn't busy making out with some diva-brat, he's actually a sweet guy and a great older brother.
"Yeah, I think I will be okay." I say, forcing a smile up at him. I stand up and give him a hug before he walks out the door. Ugh, now I actually have to do some homework.
Once I had finished, Macey texted me.
Macey: B and L are pulling into the driveway
Cammie: Coolio. I'll be down in a sec
Macey: Bring me a coke, will ya?
Cammie: ….
Macey: Thnx darling
I ran down stairs to bring Macey a coke and to greet Bex and Liz. We all walked into Macey's room, sitting on the floor and various pillows.
"Cammie, is Grant still here?" Macey asks me.
"No, he left a couple hours ago, why?"
"Oh, I just don't want anyone spying, or to be snuck up on. Why don't you guys get some snacks and drinks and I will order pizza." Macey said. After getting are food we all reassembled in her room and resumed our positions.
"So Cammie, how have you been after, you know, Josh" Bex asks, ever the subtle one.
"Well, what do you want me to say? He cheated, and I broke up with him. He left me like a gazillion messages asking me to take him back" I answer, falling back into the pillows.
"Cammie, he couldn't have left you a gazillion messages, its not possible." Thanks Liz, you really make me feel better with your probabilities.
"So you're just done? You're over him?" Macey inquires.
"I don't think I will ever be over him. He was my first real, everything." I say, putting my hands over my face.
"Now Cammie, I'm sure he wasn't your first everything…" Macey says with a smile on her lips.I chuck a pillow at her face.
"Ughhhh! He wasn't my first everything, but he was my first real relationship. My first true love." I say, lying back down on the pillows.
"You make everything seem so corny." Bex says bluntly.
"You make me feel so special." I reply.
"Come on guys. We need to help Cammie get out of this Josh funk, and get into the Zach funk!" Macey says.
"And where did you pull that one from?" I say, sitting up with a confused/annoyed look on my face.
"Come on. It's obvious he's into you. You should make a move."
"And, tonight would be the perfect night!" Bex adds, getting excited.
"I just got off a relationship; I can't just jump right into another one!" I say, trying to defend myself.
"Yeah guys, maybe Cammie isn't ready for another guy in her life yet." I shoot Liz a thankful look.
"Easy for you to say, you already own Jonas." Bex says, smiling.
"I do not!" Liz retorts, her blushing suggesting otherwise. "What about you Bex, Grant seemed pretty happy to be sitting close to you today." Liz says, eager to reflect the attention away from herself.
"Grant is….. I don't know. I've barely talked to him." Bex says. "Has he said anything to you about me, Cammie?" My snaps up to look at them.
"Not really, but he seemed… different around you." I look around, seeing their encouraging nods to tell me to go on. "He just seemed… a little unsure of himself. Usually he is all up on a girl, and he gave you space. And when he was telling all those stories, he was stuttering and he just looked nervous." I explain.
"I couldn't tell that he was nervous at all. But maybe since you're his sister and all…" Macey leads off.
"Well, I think it's just an actor thing. I can read people really well, because I spent so much time mastering different emotions. Acting is a lot harder than people think; all those Disney channel kids give us a bad rep." I say.
"Hey, Miley Cyrus is my idol. I hope one day to be just like her." Bex says with a straight face.
"Miley isn't even the worst. She's actually super chill. You know, besides rebelling against her family and all…." I say
"Yeah, I guess."
"What about Tom Felton? He's hot."
"Oh. My. God. He is a beautiful man." We all turn to Bex. Weird British sayings.
"I wish. I was in a Harry Potter movie, but I played some first year Hufflepuff in the background. At that age, I thought Tom and Daniel were going to really stupefy me, so I stayed far, far away." I say giggling. Macey and Bex are heartily laughing at me, while Liz stifles a snicker.
"It's not that funny! Come on guys!" They are still laughing. I hear the doorbell ring.
"Whatever guys, I'm going to go get the door." I say, mock rolling my eyes at them.
I walk downstairs and open the front door to see…
my pathetic cliffy... hahaha don't worry, its just the pizza man... or is it the dudes? or is it Ashton Kutcher? you never know...
(I am sercretly hoping its Ashton Kutcher) hehehe...
