I Can Mend Your Heart (Cameron Dallas Fanfiction)

Chapter 9

''Hey guys. Thank you soo much for 100+ reads! It's really awesome! You can write what you think or message  me if you want. And some of you might not read this part but I just feel like I have to say this. A 15 y/o boy died today after being in coma for 9 months. He was shot in the head by a 850 gr. tear gas cannister by the police. I just think that it's unfair what happened to him. He did nothing wrong, he went to the streets to buy bread for his family and he found himself in a coma. I don't think that what happened to the people defending justice. Please spread his story. His name is Berkin Elvan and he deserves to be remembered. Thank you guys anyways. Enjoy!''

 I’ve never drived so fast in my life and I almost hit someone. When I finally come in front of his house my tires leave a trace on the road. I get out of the car and start running towards his house. I bang on his door and he opens it with wide eyes;

-What happened?!

-I…I didn’t think you’d come.

-Are you serious right now?! I came here so fast that I almost hit a guy! I was worried sick! You can’t do this!

-Wait… Don’t go I mean I still need you.

-Why? Why do you need me? Couldn’t you need Keri or Chris?

-Well, after I almost broke his nose we haven’t talked and this is kind of about Keri. So can you please come in? My parents aren’t coming tonight and I really need someone to talk.

 I see the saddness in his voice and get inside. That moment I realise that he is just wearing a tshirt and boxers. I act like I didn’t pay attention and sit on the couch. He sits next to me and turns to me. He says;

-I think she’s cheating on me.

-Why would you even think that?

-Well, some of the guys saw her with someone at the movies and she’s always ignoring or ditching me.

-She’s not igrnoring you.

-Yeah, she kind of is but I don’t want to lose her you know? I think I might love her.

 My heart gets tightened and I make a little gasp. He doesn’t hear me so I just act like I don’t care. I tell him that everything is going to be fine and she loves him too but deep down I know that she doesn’t deserve him. Maybe I don’t too but still the way he talks about her, it’s the way every girl wants to be talked about. I see the way he looks at her and it just makes me jelous. I feel like nobody can look at me like that. I’ve never seen that look at anyone. He must really love her. He smiles at her even when she’s not looking. He looks like he is admiring her. If only he’d knew, I just wish he knew the truth. My thoughts gets cut off by him saying;

-Hey you want something to eat? We can watch a movie maybe? If your parents won’t mind.

-They’re not home til Monday so yeah sure.

 He smiles and calls the pizza place to order. We just talk like we’re really good friends. We eat our pizza and watch the movie. After the moie he says;

-Hey thanks fo being there for me. I really needed a friend.

-Sure. You can count on me.

 I give him the most realistic smile because I’m about to break. I get up and ask him about the bathroom. He points the way and I notice the scars and the bruises on his knuckle and arms. I say, holding his arm;

-What did you do Cameron?

-It’s nothing I just kind of got in a fight.

-When did this happen? After you punched Chris?

-Actually, today. After we fought and I saw you cry I got really mad at myself.

-Why? It wasn’t your fault or anything. I was just upset.

-No, it was my fault and I don’t want to lose you. You’re the only person that I can count on. Actually I can’t lose you. That’s the case.

-If you ever get into a fight again you’re going to be in big trouble.

-Yes, ma’m!

 He jokes and I shake my head and go to the bathroom. After I wash my hands I get curious and open the cabinet. I see all the typical things and a bottle of medication. I look at it label and it says ‘’Antidepressant’’. At first I get a bit shocked and think that it might be his mom’s. But it’s not. I says his name on the back of the bottle. I remember the doctor giving me these because my parents weren’t with me all the time and to get me more relaxed. Maybe that’s why he’s taking them. He doesn’t seem depressed to me. I open the door and see Cameron waiting there. I say;

-Really?! What’s with the waiting in front of the bathroom shit? You guys are really creepy you know?

-Guys? Who did this to you before?

-I…Nobody.

-Don’t lie to me. Not buying it.

-Fine. Remember the guy at the cafe today? It turned out that he waited for me in front of the bathroom for 15 minutes. He turned out that he was my neighbour when we were little for like four years. So yeah. We kind of talked and he told me that you asked about me. We just sat andt talked for actually few hours.

-Oh, OK. So do you like him or anything?

-What? I don’t like a guy that I haven’t spoken since 7th grade. He seems like a good guy. He always was and he looks like he could be a really good friend.

-Just a friend.

-What? I couldn’t hear what you said.

-Nothing. You wanna watch another movie maybe?

-I should probably get home. Goodnight.

-Yeah, see you later. And you want a ride to school tomorrow?

-Sure. You can pick me up at 8 a.m.

-Yeah, goodnight.

 I walk to my car and repeat to myself ‘’Just a friend.’’. I heard him say it but I didn’t get what he meant. Is he jelous of him? No, well, he can’t. He just told me that he loves Keri and there’s nothing I can do about it because I’m his friend. I finally get home and realise that it’s 1.20 a.m. Did I leave his house at 1.10 a.m. What is wrong with me?! I can’t do that. While I take a shower I start crying and blaming myself for everything. Going to his house, liking him too much, knowing too much about Keri. Everything. Why do I feel like everything is my fault?
