Damn it Melanie! Get it together! I was laying on my floor in the living room replaying what happened and everything I heard. Maybe... I didn't hear it right? Or maybe I'm trying to make an excuse for him. I admit I fell for him too easily! I mean what did you expect? I've never had a boyfriend before. I should not assume he was so great just because he was Cameron Dallas. But isn't that the reason so many of us find him so attracting? He's charming, got the looks, got the body and we all think he is just this amazing guy? I sit up and looked over at my camera. What to do, what to do? Should I make a video explaining to all my friends on the YouTube community that I've just been played? That wouldn't be such a great image for Cameron. I mean I hate the guy but I don't want to ruin his rep. And it's his word against mine? I shake my head and look away from my camera. I hear my phone ring and I just listen to it. Knowing it's probably Cameron calling for like the 10th time. I tune out my phone and just laid there, across my floor, like I've just been murdered. Later on that night, I decided to just not tell the girls. Lyndsey and I were in my bedroom and she was sharing the news about how her Covergirl shoot went.
"It was fun, I have to go back in tomorrow morning because they want to do more shots" she said and I smile.
"That sounds so amazing Lynd. I am so happy for you" I said smiling trying to stop thinking about Cameron.
"Thank you. So enough about me, I didn't ask about how you surprising Cameron went. I want all the details bitchhh" she says sticking a piece of gum in her mouth.
"Umm...it was fun" I said and she stares at me confused.
"Fun like you guys made out in his bedroom?" she said poking at me.
"You know, Cameron's not really that type of guy I'm looking for" I say trying not to give anything away.
"What?"
"Lyndsey, I don't like Cameron like that"
"Why? You were head over heels for him earlier this morning"
"Things change" I get up and went to take a shower. The best place to think is the shower and thinking is the one thing I do not want to be doing. I keep the shower short and got out. I wrapped my towel around me and open the door to see Nessa staring at me with her hand on her hip and Tana laid across my bed.
"What the hell happened today?" Nessa says. I looked over at Lyndsey and she smiles at me.
"You were acting strange so I called them over" Lyndsey says wrapping her hair.
"Did he make you mad?" Nessa asked.
"Want me to go and chop off his balls?" Tana said and we couldn't help but laugh. They are my girls, I can tell them.
"Okay... if I tell you guys, I don't want sympathy. I don't want any crying or any I'm sorry, got it?" I said and they shake their head and I take a take breath. "Cameron set me up on our date. All those things that went wrong, him and his crew planned it. I overheard them say it and yea. That's that" I say walking over to the dresser to grab a clean pair of shorts and t-shirt.
"He played you?" Nessa said and I look at her and they all stare at me like I'm the most fragile person ever.
"Pretty much" I said trying to laugh.
"What'd you do after you found out?" Lyndsey asked.
"I just left" I say thinking about was there anything else I should of done? I see Tana get up and starts looking around my room and we stare at her. "Tana, what are you doing?"
"Looking for Cameron's balls you cut off because I know your ass did not just leave without cussing his ass out" Tana says and we couldn't help but laugh.
"It wasn't worth it. Anyways, guys, it's not a big deal. I'm okay, I promise, I'm tired and want to go to bed. Friday, we're going shopping for outfits for the party so everything is great" I say trying to make them believe me.
"I don't believe her" Tana says.
"Me either" Nessa agrees.
"You know... she might actually be tired" Lyndsey says.
"I am, so can I go to bed?" I say aggravated because I'm asking them if I could go to bed in my own apartment. They got the message and Tana and Nessa ended up leaving. I crawl into bed and turned off the light listening to Lyndsey getting in the shower. The following morning, Lyndsey was already gone when I woke up. I walk out to see the girls left me a note and Starbucks. I ignore the note grabbed my muffin and drink and sat down on the couch where I saw my phone. I picked it up to see it was blowing up with text messages, phone calls and social media notifications. I dare to open Cameron's messages.
C: Melanie please answer your phone
C: Let me explain myself
C: Can we talk?
C: Can I come see you?
I didn't feel like reading his other text messages or listening to his voicemails so I deleted everything. I look over at my camera to realize I needed to upload my vlog. It's been like a few days. I grab my camera and placed it in front of me.
Vlogging:
Hey everyone, I know I look like shit, I feel like shit if you want to know. By the time you all watch this you probably be like what the hell Melanie, why is it taking you so long to upload these vlogs? Things come up so I apologize. So... I have some exciting news that I'm not aloud to share but you all will find it out over the weekend, I think. Like I'm very excited about this. Uhh... to be real with you all, moving to this town is very eye opening. You think certain people are this amazing thing and you get to LA and just find out they are the complete opposite. I just want everyone to know that at the end of the day it's just you. Be strong, stay strong, stay positive and love yourself. Thanks for watching my vlog and I will see you all later, bye.
I close the camera and finished my breakfast. I go and take a shower and changed into comfy clothes. I walk over to my computer to start editing my vlog. A couple of hours of editing another video someone knocks on my door. I get up knowing I'm letting Lyndsey inside after I keep telling her to use the spare key but I walk pass it on the counter. I open the door to see Cameron, not Lyndsey.
"What are you doing here?" I asked irritated.
"I need to talk to you" he said.
"How do you even know what room I was in?"
"Someone told me but that doesn't matter right now"
"I'm busy" I lied.
"Melanie... please"
"Listen... I don't want to talk to you" I say upfront.
"Then hear me out" I stare at him and crack the door a little more open. "I can't come in?"
"No you can't, what?" I know you all are probably are thinking I'm being over dramatic and super rude to Cameron but I'm not sorry.
"I'm sorry. Okay... my manager told me we need to do something different in the show. For more ratings when it comes out. We came up with a plan to do a couple of harmless jokes on someone. I promise I didn't know it was going to be you until I had to tell my manager I planned a date weekend with you. She told me that we will go forward with the plan. You have to believe me when I tell you I didn't want to but I had to" he says and all I can do is roll my eyes and motion my hands to speed up the story. "After what we did, that night and after I was told to call off Saturday with you. I felt awful because I really wanted to actually get to know you. So Saturday night and Sunday I decided to just be myself and chill with the pranks" he says. I laugh and stare at him and he looks at me confused. I peek out the room looking left and right.
"Where's your Netflix crew huh?" I say making eye contact with him and he stares at me. "Or do you have a camera on you? I'm calling bullshit. Do you really think I believe that lame story?" I say staring at him. "Does it read dumb on my forehead?"
"It's true! And I'm trying to make it better" he shouts angry.
"Why?" I say with the equal amount of anger in my voice. He stares at me and shakes his head. "Because you actually like me?" I say and couldn't help but to laugh. "Bye Cameron" I say closing the door in his face. Damn, that felt good. I wish I could open it and slam it in his face again. I felt good, slightly bad just because I felt I was kinda rude but it felt nice. I won't let a guy try to bring me down because it's not worth it. The rest of the day I didn't hear from Cameron. On Friday the girls and I went shopping for the party. Jasmine told me they want me to come a little tomboyish like, but I didn't mind because I love doing all types styles. Also, if they didn't like my outfits they would have wardrobe on deck. When we got back that night, we ordered pizza and sat in the living room.
"Cameron tweeted that he really messed up" Lyndsey says and I ignore her watching Stranger Things.
"He also made a sincere apology on snapchat" Nessa adds on.
"Your twitter is blowing up Melanie" Tana said. I continue to ignore them and watched TV. Nessa turns off the TV and I look over at her.
"What the hell?" I said.
"We're talking to you" Nessa says angry.
"About Cameron...I don't care" I get up and head to the kitchen to throw away my scrapes.
"Mel we care about you" Tana says.
"And Cameron seems like he's genuinely hurt" Nessa said. I can't believe Nessa is even taking Cameron's side.
"Maybe you should just talk to him again Mel. Clear the air, you know our managers make us do things that sometimes we don't feel comfortable doing" Lyndsey said.
"I'm sorry, if Jasmine told me to sabotage a date night to embarrass my date, I'm probably going to have to say no" I said annoyed that we're having this conversation.
"Boys can be dumb, give him a chance Mel. He thought they were minor pranks and he felt bad after" Nessa says.
"I'm taking a shower and going to bed. So I'll see you all at the party tomorrow, I have to get there early anyway" I say walking to my bedroom and closing the door. No matter how hard I try to get Cameron out of my mind, he's always going to be brought it. I turn on the shower and think about the party tomorrow.
