We got back to the hotel, and Shelby was there. You could really feel the tension in the room. The rest of the guys weren't there though. It was only Shelby, Lauren and Nash.
"So, uh. Where's the rest of the guys?"
Cameron finally spoke up, breaking the silence.
"Yeah, I'm not sure. They just said they'd be back later.."
Nash said, looking down at mine and Cameron's hands still together.
"You two finally dating?"
Nash continued, smiling. I let go of Cameron's hand and went into the other room. I wasn't ready to have this conversation with Nash, especially with Shelby in the room.
my phone started to ring, and it was Aaliyah.
"Hey, Al!"
"I need to talk to you."
"So, talk?"
"You have to promise not to get mad at me though!"
"I won't. Just tell"
"Savannah I'm so sorry!"
"For what?"
I was starting to get really nervous. What did she do to have to apologize to me?
"I um. I really don't know how to say this"
"Aaliyah, just tell me."
"Ok so there was a party last night at Gavin's house, and so I went with Zach and his friends, because Ashlynn didn't want to go. Anyways, there was a lot of drinking going on and one thing led to another and....."
there was a long pause. What did she do?
"and.. and I slept with Zach.. I'm so sorry"
did I hear that correctly?
"uh, what?"
"I slept with Zach."
I.. I didn't know what to say.. a million questions was going through my mind.
Why would he do that? Why would she? It doesn't matter that they were drinking, they shouldn't have done that? Why did I care though? Zach and I broke up, for good. He's allowed to do whatever he wants... but not with my bestfriend! Or who I though was my bestfriend... I shouldn't even care, I'm with Cameron now. but for some reason I did care.
I kept on hearing "I slept with Zach" going through my head non-stop. My heart broke into a million pieces when I heard what she said.
"Savannah?"
"Uh. Savannah please don't be mad"
"Al I um... I uh can't talk to you right now. I have to go."
and I hung up before she could say anything. I was debating on whether to call Zach or not. Just when I was about to dial his number, Cameron walked in.
"Savannah what's wrong?"
did it look like there was something wrong with me?
"What do you mean?"
"You're crying. Why? What happened"
why was I crying? I didn't even think that I was. I couldn't tell Cameron that I was crying because Zach slept with my bestfriend.
"Uh.. Nothing's wrong, Cameron."
"something is wrong, apparently."
"nothing is wrong, ok?"
"I wish you would tell me when things aren't ok."
"it's nothing to worry about, Cam."
"if it makes you cry, then I do have to worry about it. You're my girlfriend, and I care."
and that's exactly why I can't tell you. I'm YOUR girlfriend. Not Zach's.
"if I tell you then you're just going to get mad"
"I won't"
"yes, you will. I know you will"
"Savannah."
"Cameron"
"please.."
"ugh. Zach slept with Aaliyah and I really don't know why it made me cry or why I even care, because I shouldn't, but I do."
-Cameron's POV-
she's crying because her ex boyfriend slept with her friend? Is there something that I'm missing?
"Oh.. um. what?"
"Cameron, I know. it's weird! and this is why i didn't want to tell you. I know that I shouldn't be upset over a dumb thing but i am because i just don't know. "
I want her to feel comfortable enough around me to tell me anything. She shouldn't be scared to show me her emotions.
"I'm glad that you told me, Savannah. but uh. I dont really think I understand."
"and that's why i didn't want to tell you"
"Why'd you walk out of the room when Nash asked if we were dating?"
"Uh. because I kind of don't want to talk about us dating when you're ex is like. right there and you broke up with her for me. "
"at least she told me how she was feeling"
I mumbled, without even realizing what I just said.
"what!"
"nothing"
"No. Tell me what you just said, Cameron."
"I said 'at least she told me how she was feeling'"
"are you kidding me"
"No."
"That's awesome. Why don't you just go see how she's feeling right now."
"Fine. If that's why you want me to do then I will."
and I walked out of the room. It probably wasn't the best idea, but yeah.
-Savannah's POV-
I can't believe him right now. Did he really say that? I wanted to tell him, but I didn't because I knew he would react like this.
whatevvver.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
wow it's literally been three days since Cameron's talked to me. Why is he still mad?
"Uh. Can I talk to you?"
i said, turning to Cameron. He wouldn't even look at me.
"Later. I'm busy."
"Doing what?"
"Not important."
I just rolled my eyes.
"You two love birds have trouble in paradise already?"
said Matt, hitting Cameron in the arm.
"Everything's cool."
Cameron said, hitting Matt back in the arm.
Why was he being like this? What did I even do to piss him off so much?
I got up, grabbed his arm, and pulled him out into the hallway.
"What is your problem? Why are you so mad, Cameron?"
he just looked at me like he didn't hear me at all. Then he gave me that stupid cute smirk he always does. He pushed me against the wall and kissed me. and might I just add, it was the best kiss he's given me. I wanted to push him away, and ask him why he always did that when I was mad at him, but I didn't, because he wouldn't answer me anyways.
He opened up the door to the other room, and pushed me in. He took of his shirt, and then took of mine. Then Taylor walked in. His eyes widened, and it was so funny. We all just stood there, not really knowing what to do. Then Taylor finally said,
"Oh gosh um ok wow I came in here to tell you that the guys and I were gonna like go to the boardwalk if you wan to um join.... but I see that you two are a little uh busy."
and he winked over at Cameron.
I slid behind him and put my shirt back on and said,
"We're not busy. We're going to come with you guys"
"We are?"
Cameron looked at me surprised. I'm a little glad Taylor walked in because if he hadn't. Well, uh let's just say that I have a thought of what might happen if he hadn't, and yeah. It really wouldn't be the best time for that right now.
"Yeah, Cameron. We are."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shelby and Lauren went home a little while. So now it was Cameron, me, Nash, Matt, Aaron, Hayes, Shawn, Jack, Jack, Taylor, Carter, and Mahogany. It was nice all of us hanging out together. Things felt different though. Like I don't know.. I guess it was a little weird. I don't know if it was that Cameron and I were dating now, or that Taylor walked in on me and Cameron? Probably the second one.
"What are you guys up for?"
Mahogany asked, hoping that we would actually do something other than walk on the boardwalk. It was a beautiful, warm night. The way the rides and places light up at night made the view so much more amazing.
While everyone else was talking, I was quiet. Just thinking. Then all of a sudden I thought about Zach... and what Al had told me. I tried to make it unnoticable that I was starting to get upset. I really don't need Cameron getting mad at me again, but I shouldn't be thinking about Zach. I don't know why I was. Why did he keep poping up in my thoughts? Wow he needed to stop. Maybe I just needed to talk to him one last time.
"Hey, I'm going to call my mom to check up with her, I'll be right back."
I said, facing the rest of the guys. Before Cameron got up to let me out of the booth, he kissed me on the forehead. It was so cute. When he did, I felt guilty for lying to all of them, especially Cameron. I thought again about what I was doing, I knew it was wrong, but I just needed to hear his voice.
So I dialed his number, and it rang two or three times before he answered.
"Savannah?"
"Uh. Hey!"
"What's up?"
"Oh, nothing. I just wanted to call to see how you were doing."
I tried my best to make it sound like I was actually talking to my mom, in case Cameron came to 'see how I was doing' because that's what he always does when I'm on the phone. Luckly, he didn't follow me this time, but I still had to be careful.
"Uh.. Are you ok? You never ask how I'm doing."
he said, laughing.
"I know, but um I don't know. I just wanted to call you."
"Ya miss me?"
"Actually, yeah. A little."
"Really? I miss you, too."
then I heard a voice in the background. It was a girl, and it sounded a lot like Aaliyah.
"Uhh. Who was that?"
"It was no one"
"Oh my gosh. Is that Al?"
"Yeah...."
"Wow ok. Um yeah, I have to go, sorry."
"Savannah, don't"
"No it's good. Bye."
I hung up. That was defiantly not what I was expecting. My phone starting to ring, and it was Aaliyah.
"um. yeah?"
"Savannah it's really not what you think"
"I really don't want to know. Ok. I was dumb for calling. I need to go"
"Are we ok?"
"What?"
"Savannah, are we ok?"
"Sure, whatever"
"You're mad at me.."
"Um I don't know. Don't really want to talk about this right now. Maybe when I get back home."
"We need to talk about this now"
"I'm busy. Ok?"
I hung up again. Did they think I was stupid? It doesn't even matter, that just showed me that I shouldn't think about Zach anymore, or call him. He wasn't worth it. and Aaliyah, wasn't really my bestfriend. She was just using me to get to him. It's whatever. Now I realize that I have the most amazing boyfriend, Cameron, and a new bestfriend, Mahogany, and Nash. Of course. but he wasn't new. He's always been my bestfriend.
"How's your mom?"
Cameron asked when I went back to sit with them,
"She's ok. She really misses me"
"You didn't talk to her very long"
"I know. She was busy I guess?"
why was he acting strange? Did I make it that obvious that I didn't actually call my mom?
"Savannah, can I talk to you?"
"Of course!"
he took my hand and leaded me away from the group. I was super nervous, because he sounded so serious.
"What's the matter, Cam?"
"Who'd you call?"
"My mom"
"Really?"
I needed to be honest with him, I'm just scared on how he's going to react.
"Cameron, uh I called Zach and Aaliyah. Well, Al called me."
"I can't believe you."
"I'm sorry!"
"Why'd you lie to me, Savannah?"
"I don't know! I just. I didn't want you to get mad and stuff."
"Wow. I can't even trust you"
he said, his voice getting louder. I felt so bad, I can't believe this was happening.
"Cameron, I'm sorry. I won't lie to you anymore"
"You're right. You're not"
"I know. I won't, I promise"
"That's awesome."
"Cameron"
"Savannah. Wow I really don't know what to say to you right now."
he just walked away. I screwed up big time this time, and I don't know if he's ever going to forgive me.
