A Simple Secret (A Cameron Dallas Fanfiction)

chapter 25

Shit shit shit. My break ended yesterday, and I just realized that I had to get back to my dorm, take a shower, get dressed, and eat breakfast all in half an hour before my first class. Well, that, and add getting a ride to the dorm to that list.

“Jack!” I yelled out.

“Yeah?” both of them yelled back. Oh right, forgot about that one.

“Can one of you give me a ride to my dorm?” I asked.

“Yeah, I will,” Johnson replied.

“Thanks,” I said, relieved. One task checked off.

I quickly threw on a pair of extra leggings I had, and a hoodie that I saw lying on the side, and ran downstairs with all my stuff.

“Let’s go, hurry up!” I called to Jack.

“Patience, young one,” he said, finishing up his cereal. He stood up, and grabbed his keys. “Aight, let’s go.”

We got into the car, and Jack started to drive. “So, how’s Shawn?”

“We’re over,” I said, not really showing much emotion.

“You don’t sound too sad about it,” he replied.

I looked over at him. “I think you knew before both of us that we weren’t meant to be.”

He nodded. “That’s true.” We were quiet again, before he spoke up again. “Besides, now you’re open to be with Cam.”

I gasped. “What?” What the hell? Did everyone know about Cam’s feelings for me except me?

He looked at me. “Cam finally talked to us last night. And he sure talked a lot.”

 

CAM POV

I need to get a grip on myself and actually talk to someone about what’s going on. I really like Ashlyn. And it’s getting way too much to keep to myself.

I mean, I fucking kissed her. When she had a boyfriend. I never, ever considered myself the type of person to go after an unavailable girl. But, in that moment, when I saw that slip of paper, I couldn’t help but think that maybe that was my one chance to kiss her. After all, I could always play it off as just following through with the dare.

But then she kissed me back. And if that wasn’t enough to make me go further, I didn’t know what was. I couldn’t help but enjoy the feeling of her lips on mine, the rush of all the emotions that had been building up inside of me for so many years coming into play, just the simple joy of holding her in my arms.

But for heaven’s sake, I’d made her cheat on her boyfriend. We both knew that it wasn’t just a kiss for a dare. It was a full-on kiss, one that should have never gone so far.

I’m almost positive I have screwed up any chance of ever being with her, or having her feel the same way I felt for her again. Especially, after she left, I felt my heart being torn apart, and it hurt even more that I couldn’t do anything about it.

Someone knocked on the door. “Yeah come in,” I said, tiredly. I hadn’t really been getting much sleep, with checking up on my mom, filming, and of course my terrible situation with Ashlyn.

All the guys except Shawn and Hayes walked into the room. “What’s up?” I said.

“We need to talk,” Matt said. “You can’t spend all your free time cooped up in here.”

“We miss you,” Johnson added.

I smiled weakly. These guys were seriously a blessing to me, and I felt bad I’d been pushing them away lately. “Okay, let’s talk.”
