Oh My God! Guys I'm sooooo sorry. Basically, I accidentally got water on my laptop and it just stopped working so I couldn't write anything and my phone was being a spaz so I couldn't even update via that and omg. So I'm using my brother's old laptop which is missing the 'j' & equals key. I don't know why I felt the need to tell you about the keys... hehe. Anyway, there is a storm outside and it's thirty-four minutes past two on a Sunday afternoon. Fun times.
*Disclaimer* I don't own Gallagher Girls blah blah blah.
ON WITH THE STORY!
Previously on Simply Creston:
"I'm in love with you," I said quietly.
"Preston," she whispers back.
"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 any more heartbreak."
"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.
I got into a fight with Zach and Josh about Cammie –Zach claimed that he still loved her and that she wasn't allowed to date other guys. She then shouted at him saying that she can do whatever the hell she wants and that if he gets to date Kim then she should be allowed to date me. That's when Josh got involved. He said that he had some sort of right in this situation seeing as they never truly broke up – she just stopped talking to him. Macey then got very annoyed about how he could be stupid enough to think that if your girlfriend doesn't talk to you for a whole week then you're still going out. This then led to Liz and Jonas saying that technically he did have a point because there was no official agreement. Bex then got annoyed at Liz for "Taking the peasants' side" which led to Grant asking Bex what a peasant is (seriously, this dude does not pay attention in class.)Everyone then sort of looked at him like he was crazy for a few seconds before Cammie said that she was happy and if Zach or Josh didn't like that then they belonged in an asylum. Macey and Bex found that funny for some reason and started laughing their butts off (not literally...ew) Josh then started shouting at me for "stealing his girl" and Zach started shouting at Kim, who had come over to drag him away, about how she 'couldn't just stay out of his business'. Cammie then started shouting at Zach about being a sexist pig while Josh continued to scream at me. I just sat there looking at Cammie. Even when she's screaming she still manages to look beautiful. That's when the teacher got involved. Did I mention all this happened in Geography? Well it did, and that is why Cammie, Zach, Josh, Macey, Grant, Bex and I are all in detention on Friday after school. Zach, Grant, and Josh weren't too happy about this because they had football practice but only Grant could get out of it (the detention) because he was captain.
The Geography room was quiet when I walked in. Zach, Macey and Bex were already there and Josh was walking in behind me. This left only Cammie to arrive which was weird because I was a few minutes late and she is always on time. I sat down in the back left hand corner away from everyone else who were sitting at the front. I've never had a detention before and in my defence I shouldn't even be here because all I did was sit and watch. I guess it's because my name was mentioned a few times... I don't know –schools are weird.
After fifteen minutes I started to get worried. Cammie still hadn't turned up and there was a whole forty-five minutes left of the detention so it's not like I could even ask to look for her. Mr Smith had done name-call and was very surprised when he came to Cammie's name and found out she wasn't here. He did send an email out to all teachers saying that if they saw her that they should bring her here but so far no one has replied. I thought it was pretty pointless to send an email to a bunch of teachers who had most likely gone home but I wasn't going to say anything.
Half an hour had past and still no sign of Cammie. I was really worried now. What if she's hurt? It's okay, she probably just forgot my mind tried telling me but I knew that wasn't true- Cammie had the best memory out of everyone I knew, she wouldn't forget this. Suddenly the door swung open, hitting the wall behind it. I looked up to see Cammie standing in the door way.
"Oops." I hear – then a stifled laugh. The laugh wasn't hers though and neither was the voice. That's when Joe Solomon, our former English teacher and Cammie's godfather, stepped forward.
"I'm so sorry Edmund, I ran into Cammie in the hall and we started talking about well, stuff. She explained that she really needed to be somewhere but I didn't realise that the somewhere she was talking about was detention." I noticed Cammie's eyes were a bit red. They had been talking about her father...
"That's fine Joe, Cammie, go sit down I won't give you any extra time." Mr Smith said, also understanding what 'stuff' meant, "How was Columbia?" He asked Mr Solomon.
They then started talking about how 'Columbia was an absolute delight' while Cammie walked slowly towards me. I leant forward slightly and she sat down next to me and she rested her arms against the table.
"I'm sorry." She whispered. I turned to look at her with disbelief then pulled her into a hug. She leaned up and kissed me lightly on the mouth, I was taken by surprise but kissed back quite quickly. There was a small gasp and we pulled away expecting to get another detention for PDA. However, we were met with the warm smile of Mr Solomon.
"I am so incredibly happy that you chose him Cammie." He said with a small chuckle.
"Thanks Joe but I didn't choose him. I found him. And he saved me." She said with a smile.
"Aw, too cute" Zach muttered sarcastically from the front. Macey turned to him with a scowl on her face and said,
"Look, I know that you're annoyed at the fact that Cammie is now over you but you don't have to be so bitter towards her happiness. If you really love her then you should let her be happy instead of being chained to you and getting depressed. I don't think I've ever met anyone more self-centred than you and I think it's about time someone put you in your place so shut up and let her get on with her life." She then stood up and moved to the back of the room to sit next to Cammie. Bex did the same (after slapping him) and soon it was just him and Josh at the front of the class.
"Look, I have to go but, Cammie, don't let assholes like him bring you down okay? I love saying that. See, I don't teach you anymore so I can say whatever the hell I want. Later bitches!" He said with a laugh and then left.
"Bye Joey!" Cammie called after him with a grin. Josh then stood up and moved to the back of the room. I looked at him bewildered as to why he came to sit with us.
"Look," He started, "I don't care who Cam is with, as long as she's happy. I'm sorry I was such a jerk." He said with a sad smile. I nodded at him, and Cammie, Bex and Macey all had small smiles on their faces. Suddenly Zach stood up turned to us and screamed out in anger.
"Stuff this!" He shouted before storming out the classroom.
*One Year Later* (AN I have no idea where we are time wise but let's say it's a week into August a year after the detention... if that makes sense)
Life is a weird thing. One day you're sitting in a classroom learning about the history of bread and the next you're in your own apartment with a beautiful girlfriend and a cat.
I can't believe it. I'm nineteen years old and I'm living alone... with a cat. Macey keeps pressuring me and Cammie to move in together. She said she needs her 'Creston' under one roof. That's what she calls us, 'Creston'. She used to call us Pammie but Cammie told her that it sounded like a disease and Macey had a total freak out and shouted at herself for even thinking about it. Weird girl. Or should I say woman? I should probably say woman...she might kill me otherwise.
Anyway, Cammie and I have been together for exactly one year and one day. We celebrated our one year anniversary yesterday, it was nothing special just a dinner and a movie but Cammie likes things when they're simple. We also decided no presents because it was "too cliché" according to Cammie. I warned her that it meant extra presents at Christmas and on her birthday but she just shrugged it off. That girl... she's perfect.
I want to say that everything is perfect. That Cammie and I are going to be together forever. That life is amazing and that I wouldn't change a single bit of it but I'm afraid that isn't the case.
You see, my father doesn't 'approve' of Cammie so the likely hood of me being 'allowed' to keep seeing her is very unlikely – unless of course we get married. However, Cammie and I have spoken about this and we decided that we're too young and even though we love each other that it wouldn't work. We decided that if we reach the three-year mark of our relationship then we'll talk about it some more. I explained this to my father and he replied with "if the girl can stick with you for two years then I'll give her the key to the city" I then reminded him that he can't do that because he's not mayor... he told me to not talk back and to mind my own business. That's where the conversation ended.
Don't get me wrong. I love Cammie to pieces and I know she loves me but... I also know that unless we get married – or at least engaged - within the next year then my father with go through anything to break us up. And by that I mean he'll try as hard as he can to make Cammie and I look bad to the public so that I'm forced to break up with her just to save her.
She's been through enough already; I can't put her through more.
*3 years later*
It's been four years since I asked Cameron Ann Morgan to be my girlfriend.
It's been two years since I asked her to move in with me.
It's been one year since I asked her to marry me.
It's been six months since Cameron Ann Morgan became Cameron Ann Winters.
My father eventually gave up with trying to make her look bad. It only took about four months for her to give up hiding and face Samuel Winters herself. It was the first time he ever actually met her and boy did she leave an impression. Apparently she charged into his office and demanded to know what he had against her and she refused to leave until he told her the truth. That's my girl for ya... always gets what she wants. Not in a spoilt way of course, just in a determined way.
"Preston?" I hear from the kitchen. Cammie was in there making dinner and it was weird to be hearing from her seeing as she hadn't spoken since she got in (which was like, four hours ago.)
"Yeah?" I called back to her, walking through. As I walked up to her she turned around and I saw that she had been crying. I pulled her into a hug and she wept a bit more before pulling away.
"Are you okay?" I asked, "I've seen too many movies with Macey and I'm kind of getting worried that you might be dying or something..." She started laughing at the fact Macey made me watch a load of Rom-Coms and Drama films but stopped abruptly. This got me worried. "Cammie..?"
"Preston, I'm not dying." She said with a small smile. I let out a small sigh of relief but then looked at her questioningly. "What is it th-"
"I know you've always wanted children." She said quickly, interrupting me before I could continue, "And, no I'm not pregnant but... I just want to tell you that... I feel really, really bad for saying this but... I don't want kids till I'm at least twenty-four... you have to understand this right? Like, I know that we're married and I get that you really want kids but I thi-"
I cut her off with a kiss. "Cammie, we'll have kids when you're ready. I'm not going to leave you. Ever." I said to her quietly. She placed a small kiss on my lips and went back to cooking. I love how she can go from really worried to normal so quickly. It makes me wonder if she's even human sometimes. Her movements are robotic but her love is real. We have a simple kind of love. It's not cheesy or extravagant but it's also not broken or destructive. We're both pretty simple in a way that cannot be described in words.
As Macey would say...
We're Simply Creston.
Oh my god, that's such a bad ending!
Oh well. Three shot = over.
Hahaha.
I'm really sorry, again, about the wait guys.
Review pleaaaseee.
