walker's pov:
the room got cold. i hated the way he told me about cam being trans in a tone of voice that was disgusted like it was the worst thing in the world. it didn't matter to me, i still liked her for who she was even if she was trans. i sat there and watched her get up splattering the juice all over her beautiful dress. i didn't even dare to stop her. i would have left if i was her.
"brady ur a fucking pig." dior said from across the table before getting up in what i assume was an attempt to follow cam.
"i can't believe you right now." xóchitl said standing up from the table and getting up, following dior
"that was disgusting brady." charlie said as he got up and also followed the two girls.
it was just me and brady left sitting at the table. i felt a wave of heat come over my body. pure rage coursed through my veins, all directed at the boy sitting next to me. he had ruined this entire night. he went out of his way to alienate and attack her all out of pure jealousy.
"i just said the truth." brady said acting stupid and confused as to why they had left as he turned to me for support.
"i fucking hate you." i said turning to him.
"what ?" brady said looking at walker.
"that was cameron's private information that was not your place to share. you made her feel like a monster in front of everyone and for what do you could feel less jealous i found someone who makes me happy. i can't believe i didn't stop talking to you months ago." i said.
"he was never going to tell you the truth and i was just looking out for my friend." brady said looking offended.
"she. she is able to tell people when she wants to and you ruined that for her" i said standing up from the table." don't talk to me ever again." i said throwing cash down on the table and walking out of the room.
as i walked towards the back exit of the restaurant i saw charlie, dior and xóchitl all talking and what seemed to be comforting xóchitl. when i walked over they all turned towards me.
"what happened?" xóchitl asked without a beat.
"i told him to never talk to me again," i said looking at dior and charlie then back at xóchitl. "what should i do guys i really need to see cam." i said before xóchitl was able to respond.
"she probably very upset right now i'd let her cool off for a couple of days." dior said.
" i don't have a couple of days dior i leave for season 2 promo tomorrow." i said putting my hand over my head and looking at the calendar on my phone confirming the dates.
"what why we leave next week?" charlie said.
" well i need to do more pr or something before we can as a cast and the la premiere - i just- i need to see cam" i said trying to call her, my fingers trembling as i clicked on the messages app.
"well she probably doesn't want to talk right now still." xóchitl said.
" i need to tell her i don't care!" i said almost screaming as my phone shook in my hand.
"don't care about what?" dior asked.
" i don't care if she's transgender or anything i still want to be with her!" i said quickly shocked by my bluntness. " i need to go." i said almost crying and walking out the door.
i called my sister leena and asked her to pick me up.
Leena😬
me:
can you come pick me up right now
leena:
oh ok sure where are you?
me:
i'm at the italian place next to the chipotle in downtown la
leena:
ok i'll be there soon
as i waited for her to get there i texted cam over and over again
cam🤎
me:
cam we need to talk
cam im sorry
cam please answer me
can i come over?
cam im really worried about you
cam?
delivered at 7:42
did she block me? i need to talk to her. everything hurt right now and i just need to tell her that everything is ok.
once leena picked me up she asked me what had happened and i just broke down into tears telling her everything that had happened from the moment we met to that night. when we got back home i was a mess of snot and tear stained cheeks.
i went up to my bed and began calling cam. straight to voicemail. every single time. she blocked me. she really blocked me. the girl i was so infatuated with blocked me. my tears soaked the blankets for the rest of the night. eventually the night turned back into day and i was on the flight out to new york with my co-stars aryan and leah. i didn't want to at all. i was not in the right place to be put infront of cameras and asked dumb questions for hours on end. i needed to see cam but i had to go.
because i hadn't slept the night prior i crashed on the plane and woke back up in new york. the sadness had stopped after i had slept it off but my heart was still in pain. everything was a constant reminder of her. after disembarking the plane and getting a uber aryan asked me a question.
"are you ok walker you don't look great?" he said turning towards me.
" just some personal stuff." i said without looking in his direction.
" oh ok ya know you can talk to us walk" he said putting his arm on my shoulder
" i know" i said putting on a fake smile then looking back down
for the rest of the week we where doing press for the new season of percy jackson. the fans had noticed my attitude was different in the interviews following the events at the resturant and that i had unfollowed brady and these topic cam up a-lot in the interviews.
"so walker is there anyone special in your life" the bald man said sitting up in his chair.
" um-uh not- uh - um" i said not sure what to say
"you're funny! but a question the fans have been wanting to know is who was the mystery girl you where seen at the mall with then running out of the restaurant with?" he said turning his head to the side. he then held up photos of me and cam the mall together at the mall then the photos of cam leaving in tears and a soaked dress.
this was way too far. first of all he's trying to get the know the love life of a 16 year old and he's trying to get to know know who cam is.
" i'm not diving into my social life right now and quite frankly that is a highly inappropriate question to ask on a kids tv show press tour." i said looking over at him
he stuttered to respond
" im not going to continue this interview" i said getting up from the interview leaving aryan and leah with the interviewer stunned.
i got a ride back to my hotel room and sat on my bed for a minute admiring photos of cameron i had taken the night of the sleep over. she was always so true with me, always there when i needed her most, always the one that was willing to put aside personal issues to help out a stranger even if that stranger was me. i think the first moment i realized i like her was when she yelled at me. sure i had a crush on her before but that was just based off of her looks. when she had the guts to tell me that i was being a dick without fear i realized that she was different then anyone else i had met. different then lauren, brady, my family, anyone, she was able to make me feel like i was important like i mattered even when i really didn't think i did. goddammit i need to tell her i want to be with her.
