Chapter 5

Cammie

I walk down the stairs with Bex as the group just looks at me. "Cammie, you okay?" Zach asks nervously. I nod. "I'm fine, seriously, that song just reminded me of my ex" I say casually.

"Cammie are you sure?" Zach asks looking at me worried. I smile.

"Yes, I'm fine" I say taking a seat next to Zach. Zach looks at me one last time and sighs.

"Okay guys, I'm actually getting tired" Macey says letting out a yawn.

"Yeah sounds good Mace" we chorus. Macey heads to the toilet first getting changed as we all taking it in turns, until we've all got changed. Liz and Jonas snuggle up together awkwardly in a sleeping bag as I lie down next to Zach. Grant and Bex snuggle up together on the couch as Macey and Nick lie down in front of us. "Oh shit light" Macey says as she gets up and turns the light off.

"Night guys" Macey says as she closes her eyes, we all nod closing our eyes. I wake up and look out the window and see that's it's still dark, I sit up and look around the room, Macey had fallen into Nick's arms it was super cute. Liz and Jonas were snuggled up together as were Bex and Liz. I look over to Zach and see that he's awake and looking at me. Zach and I both get up and head to the kitchen. "Hey Zach can I ask you something?" I ask. Zach looks at me and smirks.

"Sure Cammie" Zach says leaning against the bench.

"Did you love her? Tina?" I ask nervously. Zach looks at me sadly and nods.

"How did you find out about Tina?" Zach asks. I sigh sitting up on the bench opposite Zach.

"Bex told me" I say. Zach nods muttering under his breath. I smile.

"I did love her, a lot" Zach says frustrated. I nod sadly.

"She meant the world to me, I would have done anything for her, but she was just a player" Zach says slamming his fist on the table. Zach looks up at me and sighs.

"Since I shared about my ex, your turn?" Zach asks. I sigh.

"I'd rather not. Sorry Zach" I say sadly. Zach nods.

"It's okay, I get it. It's easier to talk to the girls about it" Zach says sadly.

"It's not like that Zach. It's just, I don't want you guys to see me weak you know?" I say. Zach nods.

"You know, I get where you're coming from, but just know that I'm here if you need me" Zach says smirking as he heads back to get some more sleep. I smile and walk back to the room.

"Night Cammie" Zach whispers as I close my eyes and fall to sleep.

*Time skip to around 12*

The girls and I had been shopping for like 3 hours, I was so tired. But anyway I'd found the perfect dress as did the girls, and I was psyched about the formal.

"Okay well we'd better head home, see you guys at school tomorrow" Bex says waving us all goodbye. I start to head back home when I see a guy from my old school heading this way. I put my head down and start walking to my house, that's when I notice who the guy is. Josh. He sees me and runs up to me. "Cammie can we talk?" Josh asks looking at me sadly. I look at him and nod, what could Josh possibly have to say to me? "I'm sorry, for everything Cammie, I get now that you just wanted to go out with Ben, I shouldn't have lost it, I'm so sorry" Josh says.

"Why say sorry now? Why not before?" I ask nervously. Josh shrugs.

"Dad talked some sense into me and Ben actually. He really likes you Cam" Josh says. I nod.

"I know" I say casually. Josh nods sadly.

"Talk to me whenever you want Cam, but I really am sorry" Josh says walking off. I shiver as I head back to the house. Mum's already inside and sees me and smiles. "Big day I presume?" she asks. I smile. "Huge day" I say as I flop onto the couch.

"So you invited Ben over?" mum asks. I nod casually.

"He's a good kid" Mum says.

"I know what you're trying to say Mum" I say getting up and grabbing a glass of water.

"Well he's stood by you when all the rumours were going around, what if this Zach boy finds out? Do you think he'll still want to be your friend?" Mum asks. I look at her and sigh.

"Zach's not like that Mum" I say as the doorbell goes. I run up and answer it, turns out its Ben with a bag in one hand and a present in another. "Ben, hey! Who's the present for?" I ask. Ben smiles putting it into my hands. "You of course, it's a hope you're having fun at your new school type of present" Ben says smiling. I nod. "Thanks Ben" I say unwrapping the present and seeing a beautiful necklace. It was a simple silver chain with the initial C. I wrap my arms around Ben and smile.

"Thank you Ben! This is gorgeous, can you put it on for me?" I ask lifting my hair up and turning around. "My pleasure" he says putting my necklace with ease. I turn around and smile at Ben.

"So what are we planning on doing tonight?" Ben asks. I shrug.

"Dee Dee texted me" I say sadly. Ben looks at me and sighs as we both take a seat on the couch.

"She just called me a slut the usual, did you know that Josh and Dee Dee are dating?" I ask nervously. Ben nods sadly.

*Flashback*

"Hey Slut nice boobs" someone says in the hallway. I look at them confused. They just laugh pulling out their phone and showing me a picture of my boobs. "The whole's school seen it, slut" he says grabbing my ass and walking off.

*End of flashback*

I shiver. "And I wanted to say thanks for standing up to Josh for me, he came up to me and said I'm sorry, he actually apologised. It's like my dream" I say smiling.

"See? After the rain comes a rainbow. I always told you" Ben says smiling.

So what did you think? Please review?
