Cabin 14, Camp Perry, Florida.

Chapter fifteen; - Lainie

I woke up physically drained.

I felt like hell, and I felt so much worse when I remembered why. I remembered our fight...

I picked up my cell phone and called a familiar number.

"Hello?" My mothers voice answered.

"Hey mom, it's me." I said in a false happy voice.

"Hey baby, what's wrong?" She asked.

"I feel sick and ... I miss you. I miss you so much." My voice got thick and tears welled in my eyes.

"Aw, baby I miss you too. You're my little girl." She said.

"Ryan dumped me, I think." I said starting to cry hard.

"You think?" My mom didn't try to hide her confusion.

"Well, I don't know what we are right now but he told me he doesn't want me to leave him, but then he left my cabin! I'm so confused mom, I thought girls were the confusing ones!?" I said sadly.

"Have you tried talking to him?" 

"No........" I said, knowing that she'd just tell me to talk to him.

"Well, there's your first mistake. Talk to him!" She said.

"Mom, it's not that easy. He stormed out of here! He obviously didn't want to talk to me!" I huffed.

"He wanted something. Your attention maybe?" She suggested.

"Well, I don't know, but I don't appreciate him creating drama like this." I said, annoyed.

"Baby he obviously has something he wants to tell you! Maybe he just doesn't know how!" She said.

"Fine. I'll talk to him, Mom." I sighed.

"There you go. Now cheer up, you only have a week left!" She said.

"8 days, but who's counting..." I laughed.

"Don't count, have fun and make the most of it." My mom said.

"I will. Thank you so much mom I love you so much." I said.

"See you soon baby." She said before hanging up.

I walked right up to Ryans cabin door and knocked three times.

After waiting a few minutes I raised my hand to knock again- but pulled it back quickly when I head footsteps.The door swung open quickly and Ryan stood there looking as glorious as ever with his hair sticking up in all directions, and Lord help me he was in his boxers.

"Come in." He grumbled as he turned away from the door and plopped himself on the couch.

I went in, shutting the door behind me and sat on the couch with a decent amount of space between Ryan and myself.

"I love you." I said so quickly that I didn't even realize I said it out loud. I blushed and looked at my feet. Unable to meet Ryans gaze I payed too much attention to a loose string on my shirt.

"I love you too." He said in a low tone.

I looked up and into his eyes- they looked hurt. Why was Ryan so broken inside?

I inched a little closer to him and put my head on his chest. I didn't realize I was crying until ryan wiped away a tear from my eye.

I looked up at him and once again got lost in his hurt eyes.

"What's wrong?" He asked, his eyes showing concern.

"Do you really love me?" I asked.

"Yes... that's the problem." He said as he looked away.
