Chapter Four

*Cloe's P.O.V

I got out of Cameron’s car. We hugged and said our goodbyes and walked I into my tiny hotel room. I sat on my queen sized bed and looked into the mirror in front of me. I couldn't help but think about what has happened in the past few days.

While I was deep in thought I remembered my dinner with Cameron! What am I supposed to wear?! Cameron and Samantha always look so perfect. I can't compare to Samantha. She’s perfect in every shape and form. Then I got a new text message. I opened my phone...

 

'New Text Message: Cameron M…'

 

“Hey sorry I'm canceling on dinner tonight. I'll order you pizza or something. Oh and I don't think you will be seeing much of me for a while. Don't worry I'll pay for everything. Also I’ll hire you a private tutor so they can stop by and teach you.”

 

Cameron and Samantha probably had something planned. I hopped into the warm shower. Why does Samantha have to be so perfect? She has the hair, the body, the face, the money, the job. I don't even compare to her. I finished up my shower, through my hair up in a messy bun, put on some sweatpants and a tank top and ordered room service.

 

Cameron's P.O.V

 

I drove for hours, it was raining. I loved watching the rain. I always thought it was peaceful. I finally parked and looked around. I ended up at the park. I got out of the car and into the cold freezing rain and walked to the small wooden bench. I sat down and started crying into my hands. How could Samantha do this to me again? Whenever I planned something exiting she just ditches me at the last minute.

I picked my head up and looked around. The first thing I saw was the swings. This of course made me cry even harder. I remember when my mom and dad brought me here and pushed me on the swings. Oh how I miss them. I felt like someone was tearing my heart out.

The only person I could honestly trust was Samantha.

'New Text Message: Cloe'

 

'Hey, you don't have to order pizza I already got some room service. Hope you don't mind. I hope your having fun with Samantha! Thanks for everything! I hope you feel better. I got this feeling that you were upset when I left. Anyways, thanks again!'

 

My phone was getting wet. I didn't know if it was because of the tears or from the rain. I slammed it down on the ground and watched it shatter along with my heart. I hate Cloe! She’s so stupid and naive! She doesn't know what love is so I can’t explain anything to her! She thinks it's so beautiful but it's not! I felt my heart break even more. I feel like I'm trapped in this place!

 

“HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME SAMANTHA?” I yelled at the top of my lungs. “AND DAD HOW COULD YOU LEAVE ME?”

 

I felt someone touch my shoulder and whisper in my ear “Cameron.” It was my grandma.

 

I turned around. My eyes full of tears. I saw my grandma standing there under an umbrella held by her butler, Benjamin.

 

"Grandma…" I ran to her and she held me in her warm embrace.

 

"Come on Cameron. Let's get you home." She grabbed my cold, wet hand and we walked to the car. 

 

The ride was silent. I didn't want to talk and my grandma knew it.

 

After about half an hour, I heard Benjamin clear his throat,

"Mrs. Massarotti." both of our heads turned to face him. 

 

"We have arrived home." 

She nodded and Benjamin got up and opened the door for us. 

 

"Cameron go shower and I'll have Maria make you some soup." she looked at me with those painful eyes. 

 

"Grandma, can we have a sleepover in the theater room tonight? Like we use to?"

Her eyes brightened and she smiled.

 

"Of course, Cameron."

 

My mom was diagnosed with a brain tumor when I was 8 and she passed away when I was 10. My father committed suicide 2 weeks after her funeral and that's when my grandma took me in. I never had a friend or a parent to comfort me. I really needed my dad when my mom passed but he clearly didn't care.

I use to cry every night and she was so worried about me, scared i too would commit suicide so we started having sleepovers in the theater room, we would eat snacks and watch movies all night. It took my mind off things.

 

Cloe's P.O.V

 

After dinner I sat on my bed and watched TV. There were only like 5 channels so I got bored real fast.

I looked at my phone,

 

'New Text Message: John'

 

'Hey s**t, I better not see you this Saturday at the party. You will just humiliate yourself. A loser like you doesn't belong at those types of places. You nasty little w***e. You're ugly and fat and I hope you die'

I stared at my phone and watched my tears land on the screen and roll off.

How could he do this to me, he's already put me through enough..

I wish my dad was here. I need someone to comfort me. I looked at my phone and I called Cameron. I need someone to talk to.

After a couple rings he finally picked up.

"Hello?"

I was crying so hard I was hyperventilating and I was positive Cameron could hear me.

"H-Hey Cam--"

"Cloe! Stop f*****g wasting my time. I'm busy okay?! Leave me alone! Where the f**k are YOUR friends? I can't deal with you right now. You cry over everything! Grow up Cloe. Don't call me! I need to be with Samantha. Bye."

And the line went dead…

*Camerons P.O.V

But right now she’s ruining my relationship with Samantha. Samantha always gets mad when I have friends that are girls. She thinks I’m cheating on her. I’ve decided that I’m going to stay away from Cole. Then I got a text.

 

'New Text Message: Cloe'

 

'Hey, you don't have to order pizza I already got some room service. Hope you don't mind. I hope you’re having fun with Samantha! Thanks for everything! I hope you feel better. I got this feeling that you were upset when I left. Anyways thanks again!'

 

My phone was getting wet. I didn't know if it was because of the tears or from the rain. I slammed my phone on the ground and watched it shatter along with my heart. I hate Cloe!! She’s so stupid and naive! She doesn't know what love is so I can’t explain anything to her! She thinks it’s so beautiful but it’s not! I felt my heart break even more. I feel like I'm trapped in this place!
