Idaho, USA
Cam walked into baggage claim quickly. He couldn't miss Chris Abeley, his ride to Layne's house. Cam spotted his D&G black suitcases, and grabbed them. Suddenly a familiar voice said," Hey! Cam! Over here!" It was Chris. Cam and Chris had hated each other through Jr. high, but in high school they started to become friends.
"Hey! Chris! Long time no see! How's Julia? I heard you guys got married." Chris smiled at Cam and gave him a huge bear hug. "Yeah, Julia great. So why did you need to see Layne?" Cam lowered his head. "Well, Claire and I got into a HUGE fight, and well, Layne knows EVERYTHING about Claire, and I need her help." Chris arched an eyebrow. "Dude. Layne and Claire haven't spoken since like 10th grade. And what makes you think that Layne will forgive Claire like that easily?" Cam sighed. "I just have to see Layne ok? Besides, Layne and I have always been cool right?" Chris looked skeptical. "Whatever dude. As long as I get to leave this place I'm good. Man, I can't wait to get back to Italy. I HATE Idaho. Why did Layne have to live in such a boring place?! Well me and Julia are really excited for our villa to be done in Italy. We've waited for like 3 years! Dude, you have to come visit us sometime." Chris and Cam loaded the luggage into the trunk of Chris's white Cheyenne Porsche, and took off.
When they arrived in Layne's neighborhood, Cam was shocked. Everywhere from left to right, there were mansions, and expensive cars in their driveways. "Dude. How did Layne get so rich?" Chris smiled proudly. "Well she married the guy who invented the Iphone. So I guess thats how. Wait till you see Matilda. Layne's adorable daughter. They adopted her from South Korea. She is only five, but she is already doing 6th grade math!"
They stopped at a two story stone cottage, that had beautiful flowers and decorations everywhere. "Wow. It looks very cozy." Chris nodded. Chris knocked on the door. A tall, thin man with glasses, and brown hair opened the door. He was wearing a pink dress shirt with khakis. "Hello Chris! So who is the new comer?" " This is Cam. Cam this is Layne's husband Hamilton Sachylles. He invented the Iphone." Cam smiled and shook Hamilton's hand. "Nice to meet you Cam. Well I'll go tell Layne that your here. Layne! Sweetie! A man named Cam is here to see you!"
All of a sudden, a thin, medium height woman about 23 with long braided blond hair, brown eyes, and the kindest face Cam had ever seen, stepped into the doorway. She was wearing pink, and green Lily Pulitzer capris, a pink Ralph Lauren polo, with some beaded sandals. "Hello? Oh hey Chris! Um, Hey Cam. Did you come to kidnap my daughter? Oh, I forgot you stopped being a horrible wretched person in high school. NOT!" Layne glared at Cam mercilessly. Chris and Hamilton looked puzzled.
All of a sudden, a Korean girl a about five with long black hair set in two cute pigtails, wearing yellow and green Lily Pulitzer shorts, a Lily Pulitzer tank top, and orange flip flops appeared in the doorway. " Mommy. What is the answer to this equation, n 48x48?" Layne looked down at Matilda and her face brightened. "Well sweetie, why are you still up? Tell daddy to put you to bed.I'm busy right now." Matilda smiled, then grabbed Hamilton's hand and dragged him away.
"Uh, Can I come in?" Cam asked. Layne rolled her eyes and opened the door wider. "What do you want anyway?" Cam sighed "I need to talk to you in private if you don't mind." Layne pulled Cam into an office, that was full of pictures of Layne, Matilda, and Hamilton. "What? Look. If its about Claire then forget it." Cam buried his head in his hands and started to cry. "Layne. I don't know what to do! Claire told me that we were over permanently, and I just love her to much to accept that. So now I need to win her back." Cam looked up. Layne looked enraged. "WHAT?! Well finally Claire got a little sense in her! Look, you must have done something really shady as usual, and you must've made her upset. And now you want her back?! Who do you think you are Cam?! Huh?! You just expect Claire to come running into your arms and forgive you?! You know what?! I hope that she doesn't forgive you! After all that you did to her! Like when she was away in California in 7th grade, and for the movie rehearsal she had to kiss Conner Foley, and you broke up with her?! Or maybe its the time that you broke her heart at Skye's halloween party, only because she was curious about who Nikki was?! You are a greedy, selfish jerk! And if Claire has any sense, she will dump you forever! Get out of my house NOW! GET OUT!"
Cam scuttled out of the room and out the door faster than Layne could say it. "Well that went well. Maybe Layne's right. Maybe I should just give up on Claire. I mean I already have a family. It would be wrong of me to just dump Nikki. What kind of father would Jodi think I am? Man, I really suck. But I guess its for the best. I want Claire to be happy right? And I guess she is happy without me. So Claire I'm letting you go, once and for all." Cam said to himself on the plane back to California.
