Previously on Simply Creston –

"He's… he's gone, Preston. My dad… My dad's dead." She broke down again. I held her close to me, feeling her pain but happy to know that I'm here for her as a friend. And silently wishing I could be more.

*Two Weeks Later*

I know I need to stop this. I can't love her anymore, I can't. It's wrong – completely and utterly wrong… but… I can't help it. I know that Macey likes me and I know that Cammie still likes Zach. I should just give up.

I'm moving today... going to Washington DC with my dad. The perks of being the possible President's son… Please, please note the sarcasm. I don't want to leave, I don't need to leave and I don't have to leave. But I am, and all because of Cammie.

"Preston, I know that you think that I need you here but it's been nearly two weeks since the funeral. Yes I'm sad but I'm not going to do anything stupid…" I heard a hushing sound in the background and knew that she was in the library. "Seriously Pres, I have Macey, Bex, and Liz… all of them. Even Zach."

"Cammie," I said, walking into the changing rooms for Gym. We're not meant to have our phones out but her mum is Co-Headmistress, "I know but… please, just understand that I'm worried and I don't I want to leave"

"Preston." She said and I knew it was no use.

"Fine. I'll go. But I'm calling you every. Single. Day."

"Haha, okay Preston. I have to go; Librarian's looking at me funny." Then she hung up.

"I'm going to miss you so freaking much." I whispered in Cammie's ear while giving her a hug so tight I think I may be cutting off her air supply.

"I'll miss you too, Preston." And I know she meant it.

Macey is coming with me on the plane - Or 'Private Jet' as she calls it. Apparently she's moving to DC too. I wasn't told this. She's staying at my house there. I wasn't told this either. Oh, and we're meant to be 'going out'. I wasn't told any of this.

The whole 'going out' thing is to fool the press into thinking were America's next sweethearts or something. I don't know really.

What I do know is that there is no way that I'm going to go through with it. There is NO FREAKING WAY that I am going to pretend to love the best friend of the girl I actually love. No. Way.

*Four Months Later*

Finally! My dad's just told me that we're going home now. I get to see Cammie again!

I know what you're thinking, "Preston, how are you not over this girl yet?" Well, you remember what I said about talking to her every day? Well…I did. Macey spoke to her every morning via Skype and I spoke to her every night on the phone. We also texted throughout the day. It really didn't help the "I have to get over Cammie" thing.

"Oh." Was the first thing that came out of my mouth when I saw Cammie. The reason for this being that she was holding hands with someone. I was sort of expecting this. Well, half of this. I thought I would get back and see her with Zach again but I was wrong… not Zach… Josh.

I stood for a good five minutes without her noticing me. She was talking with Josh and he was looking right at me with a huge smirk on his face. He knew.

"Oh My God! Pres!" I hear coming from the beauty that sat next to Jerk-Face-Josh-Thing. I turn to her with a forced smile on my face, forcing the tears back. I don't usually cry. Honestly…

"Look" I say, holding my wrist up for her to see and blocking the hug that was coming my way.

"Oh," She looks at my wrist and smiles slightly, "Where did you find it?"

"In the bottom of my suit case…" I was referring to the Spider-man wristwatch she got me when we were thirteen. I had taken it off on my fifteenth birthday to play paintball (in London) and couldn't find it since. Well, until yesterday. This time I couldn't stop the hug. She stepped forward and pulled me into a bone crushing hug, similar to the one I gave her when I left.

"I've missed you." She whispered in my ear.

"Clearly." I sarcastically whispered back before I could stop myself. Oops. She pulled away sharply and looked me dead in the eye. I looked over shoulder at Josh who was staring at us questioningly. She saw me looking and turned around. When she turned back she had a seemingly knowing look in her eyes.

"Prest-" I walked away before she could finish.

*1 week later*

I have 14 missed calls/voice mails and around about 44 texts (AN/ Haha, Nikki) from Cammie and that number is increasing every minute. I'm only ignoring her because I'm scared of us not being friends. I'll wait until she's forgotten about it then I'll pop out of nowhere and BAM we're best friends again. That's how it works right? I know… I'm being unreal. It obviously isn't going to happen like that.

I've completely ignored her attempts to talk to me at school and out of school. However, this doesn't mean that I haven't noticed her and her life. Oh God, I sound like a stalker. What I mean is that it's hard not to notice when she's one of the most popular girls in school. She's been wearing long sleeves again and she hasn't spoken to Josh at school. I would know seeing as I sit with her at lunch (unwillingly) and I have every lesson with her (again, unwillingly). I think it's about time I start to talk to her but… I'm so scared.

"So, I guess you don't want to be friends then?" I hear on the other end of the phone. There was also a little sniff – like she was crying.

"What? No! That's not at all what I'm saying Cam." I say back – fighting tears of my own. I don't want to lose my Camster. Not like this.

"Well then why did you call?" This is it…

"To tell you something" I say. I take a breath and hope that she doesn't hang up.

"What?" She replies, curiosity lacing her voice.

"I'm in love with you," I said quietly.

"Preston," she whispers back.

"I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labour has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you." I said – quoting her favourite book.

"Preston Winters don't you dare…" What? What have I done wrong? "Don't you dare break my heart." She whispered the last part.

"Huh?" I said back. I'm lost - completely and utterly lost.

"Preston… I love you too.. so much...okay? But I need to know you won't break my heart. I don't think I can take anymore heartbreak."

"Cammie... I would never even think about breaking your heart. I love you so much." I was crying now and I could tell she was too.

"Okay. Okay. Okay. Um… I'm just gunna take all of this as you asking me to be your girlfriend and omg yes I will. Oh my god. Okay. It's okay. I'm okay." I could tell she was smiling and I was so happy that I put that smile there.

"Okay. Are you sur-" "Shut up." She said with a laugh. I started laughing too and it was the best feeling in the world. Just knowing that I made her laugh – that I made her smile – and just knowing that she is now mine.

I love it.

And I love her…

Not the end! One more chapter :D

Oh my god. I started crying near the end of that.
