Hello

*Cameron's P.O.V.*

"Cameron..."

"What? What is it Ella?"

"I've been holding this in for awhile, and I haven't told anyone. Not even Eva and Stella. It's been a really hard time for me these past few weeks, and there's a reason I'm this way. I've been trying to hold it in and hide it, but I guess it's not working"

"Ella, what's going on? Please tell me...don't you trust me?"

"It's my parents Cam"

"Did something happen?"

"They're getting a divorce"

"Wow, I'm so sorry babe, why?"

"My mom cheated on my dad, and I guess she's having an affair and she's left us for that guy"

"That's horrible, why didn't you tell anyone? That's a big deal, Ella"

"I know, I know. I was just trying to process it I guess, and it's just a really hard time for me. I was trying so hard to be okay, but I guess just took out all of my anger on everyone around me and I just can't pretend anymore" I can't believe she's been hiding this and I didn't even notice until now. I feel so bad...I went over and hugged her.

"I wish you told me sooner, I would've found a way to help you. I don't want you to hide things like this from me, Eva and Stella. You can tell me anything, you never bother me. That's why I'm here, I'm here for you no matter what, I will always be"

"Thank you Cam, that means a lot to me. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner"

"It's okay, but you're gonna have to tell Eva and Stella, you know that right?"

"I know"

*Ella's P.O.V.*

Right after I left Cam's house, I went over to Stella's. I knocked on her door, and she opened it. It was 9 pm, when she saw me, she looked shocked.

"Ella? What are you doing here? Have you been crying?"

"Can I come in? Please, I need to talk to you and Eva, can you invite her over?"

"Okay, come in, it's freezing" I walked in and sat on the couch. Stella sat next to me.

"Did you text her?"

"Yeah she's coming. She doesn't seem too thrilled"

"I have to tell you guys something important"

"Yeah okay? She'll be here any minute" Stella seemed really annoyed for some reason. She went to the kitchen to make hot chocolate, and I watched TV. A few minutes later, Eva came. I went to open the door.

"Hi Eva, thanks for coming"

"Hey" we sat down on the couch and then Stella came with the hot chocolate, as they started drinking, that's when I dropped the bomb.

"My parents are getting divorced" they're mouths dropped and they were in shock.

"What? Are you joking?"

"No, I'm not. My mom left my dad and I, she cheated on him with some guy and left us for him"

"Ella! Why in the world didn't you tell us sooner!?"

"I was trying to process this on my own and I was trying to figure out a way how to tell you guys. I know I should've told you sooner, and I wish I did. I'm sorry, I guess I was just trying to pretend it was all okay, and I can't anymore"

"Is that why you've been so angry lately?"

"Yes, I took my anger out on you guys, and I'm really sorry" I started to cry, and they both came over to hug me"

"Eva and I are your best friends, and I wish you told us sooner. You aren't going through this alone anymore, because we'll be here to help you every step of the way"
