Stay With Me

Chapter 23

"Hey Marie, have you seen where Cam went?" I asked looking around but couldn't find him. Once the prayer was done, Marie, Jen and Diane started talking to me and by the time I looked back he was gone.

"No he walked out the room, seemed a bit angry still but I'm sure he's somewhere around here" she reassured. "Alright" I whispered looking around. He was pissed and if you knew Cameron, that wasn't good.

I sighed biting my lip nervous "Hey come have a glass of wine with us" she said smiling and I returned it but shook my head no.

"Oh come on. You're about to be a college student, Youll be drinking more than this" She joked grabbing my hand and leading me to the already pour glasses.

It's one glass, I'll take one and hopefully he'll show up soon. I stood there sipping the wine as they talked about stuff I knew nothing about.

Four the hundrenth time I checked my phone to see if he answered one of my text or calls but saw nothing.

Nothing.

I excused myself to go to his room and wait it out. Maybe he was busy talking to someone or doing something I dont know. But, I just wanted to make sure he was okay. If it was too much for him, we would leave in a heartbeat.

****

"Oww shit" I voice said loudly after a loud bang making me jump up. Must have went to sleep but for how long? It was pretty quiety now. I cut the lamp on and grabbed for my phone. 1:24 am. I instantly got pissed.

I came down here around 10 and by 11, I laid down falling asleep. Where the hell was he for three fucking hours? If he atleast called me back or answered a damn text, I would feel better but nope he had to do this shit.

I looked over to him stumbling to bed with his head down and got up. "You could have atleast told me you were going out or something instead of leaving me here worried" I stated but he wouldnt respond. He didnt even make eye contact as he stripped to his boxers.

"Cam?" "What?!" he snapped looking at me and the alcohol hit my nose instantly but hat wasnt the only thing. His eyes were red and I knew the smell from anywhere. Weed.

I looked down shaking my head "You promised" I whispered not even feeling anger but more dissapointed in a way.

"Not tonight Leah" "W-" "I don't want to argue, I just want you in my bed with me" he said walking to his dresser to get me a shirt and tossing it to me.

"Sleep in my shirt" he said getting on the bed as I stood there ready to lose my cool. "There wouldn't be a arguement if you didn't leave me to get drunk and high. How did you get it anyway?"

"Carter called me and we hung out. Be happy I didnt hit him and kick that whore out. Thats progress" He joked but I didnt laugh one bit.

"What you didnt see that whore by his side all night? He holds a celebration for my mother and brings that here" he said laying on his back as Istill stood there unsure of what to say to him anymore.

"Wow..." "Wow what?" he snapped. "Wow at the way you're fucking acting. Its ridiculous" He instantly shot up glarring at me. "Did he say that to you are did you just jump to this crazy conclusion?"

"You didn't see it" "I did and they're just friends" he rolled his eyes. "Always trying to make good out of a fucked up situation. Stop seeing all people as good, thats why people take advatage of you"

"I saw the good in you" I stated and he didnt respond. "You don't have to call her a whore either" "She is, I don't care" he stated and I rolled my eyes ready to leave.

"Why are you so surprised? Thats a other problem here, you keep acting like I can't be pissed"

"I never said you can't be pissed so don't get it twisted. I would just rather you take the problem head on and actually make sure you have the right information before doing something stupid. Like drinking and smoking" he got up quickly walking to me.

"I havent had a drink in a while, Im sorry if I need one now shit!" he yelled. For once, I didnt understand him. I didnt know what he was doing but, I was just being dragged through the journey.

"What are you doing Cameron?" I whispered putting the shirt on the bed. "Being the real me. The one I was before I moved here. I'm tired of living up to all of these high expectations from all of you" "What expectations?"

"To be a fucking scholar, to not fuck up anything and be the perfect guy for you. I can't control the anger, forgive, and move on!"

"You don't fucking get it, Its not for us. Its for you-" "Well I don't want it so fuck it" he snapped. "You're only hurting yourself-" "Stop!" he yelled and I just threw my hands in the air.

"Fine, whatever" I said giving up. "Thank you. I'm tired of you always making me feel bad about all the decisions I make. If I want to get pissed I will, If I want to yell, I will and I want to get fucked up I-"

"Okay shut up" I screamed grabbing my bag and jacket. I couldn't stay here right now. If I did I would end up hitting him.

That's how pissed I was with him, I was ready to punch him right in his mouth. Maybe dick since he was such a fucking man. "I'm not gonna lecture you, Its you fucking life but don't forget-"

"Oh my god! I need space" he yelled and I froze looking at him.

"You need space?" I asked to clarify and he nodded. "Fine. Have all the fucking space you want" I spat storming out the room.
