Chapter 18: Chapter 18

Padgett's POV.

I headed to the parking garage and Cameron's car was in sight but there was something else there, that singular act that always makes me ripped apart, that break my world apart, Cameron was hovering over Cathy and frankly that wasn't even the worst part of it they were kissing right in front of my eyes in the parking spot near his car

She held onto him so tight as his hands caressed her waists while she placed her hands on each sides of his shoulders as they kissed each other like their life depended on it.

I promised myself I wasn't going to cry over him anymore so as much as this hurts, so badly; I was going to pick up my pieces and act like it didn't matter

I walked passed them, as I heard her moaning shamelessly to his kisses I wouldn't blame her I was sure he was a really great kisser and thankfully they didn't even notice me. I guess they were too engrossed in exchanging saliva to notice the ugly ducklings walking passed them.

When I got home mommy hasn't arrived as usual, but I am sure, she would be back from work pretty soon so I won’t have to be alone much longer

Grabbing something to eat quickly because I am famished and I don't think I want to go through that madness today, I was about doing that, when my eyes caught a note place on the table neatly

You could get yourself busy with your guitar till mum gets home…

Oh mommy! You really very sweet mommy! I place soft kisses on the note like it's my mommy.

Just maybe, I could bake some really nice chocolate cake for her and probably bring some for Emerald. As soon as I started baking, I heard the door bell ring, I was thinking it's my mommy

Mommy it’s open… I shouted getting ready to go back to my baking since I was really in the mood to bake

Aren't you a little too old to say mommy… I heard his voice behind me as I slowly turned to meet a smirking Cameron, he had already open the door.

What are you doing here? Can’t you see am busy and what do you want now? I asked mixing my flour

Creamy! I want alot of things; why don’t we start with why you’re avoiding me and how do I make it stop?

You started it first I’m just finishing it up.

You’re acting really immature you know I already explained the reason I had to...

We’ve been friends, fine, I know I left for three years and now, I am no longer that special to you... Even though I want us to be much more… I muttered that last part to myself, even though, that is what I really want to say to him

Yet you dumped me like yesterday trash, Cameron, do you have any idea how much that’s hurts, you couldn't even say sorry you just acted like its alright, well news flash Cameron Adrian, it’s not okay…I said facing my baking back while he took a sit on the couch

Creamy, please don’t do this to us, I missed you for three years and now you are here, we are going to start fighting. Fine, I’m so sorry, sorry about yesterday and for this morning it won’t happen again please, forgive me this time.

You still don’t get it; do you? I’m replaceable to you. It's fucking hurts.

To think I wasn't even mad at you anymore, I thought of letting go of the anger in me, we could have talked but I guess you were too busy locking lips with your girlfriend to notice me because I’m what? I’m freaking replaceable right Cameron? Cassie was right for the first time ever…

No you’re not, you’re not replaceable and you will never be and since when did you start listening to Cassie? That lowlife idiot. Huh you know she’s only jealous of you.

And about Cathy and I kissing, I didn't mean for you to witness that I’m really so sorry Creamy, so please let’s just let this go I’m sorry… He said coming closer

I’ll let it go on one condition and only one condition or else we’re done… I said firmly

Anything just name it, you know that I could move mountains for you.

I am going with Newton to the party… I said

Newton… He said coldly

Yeah Newton... he asked me out to the party I said yes so now you can go with Cathy because I’m going with Newton

No you’re not… Cameron said coldly

“Yes I am, we made a deal remember? You should date someone and I will. So that’s what I’m doing. I’m Dating Newton. I watch him Laughed coldly then rake his hair back with his finger in frustration.

Are you doing this to pissed me? He asked, I didn't say a word to him, I just focus on my baking. I don't know what madness had gotten into you but you can date any guy you desire, even if is not Sutton but not him. You’re not gonna date that freaking asshole and creamy that’s final you heard me… He added coldly

Why do I suddenly get the feeling he’s hiding something…I thought

Why can’t I? Huh! I am going to date him and he is my boyfriend now, so Cameron, there is nothing you can say or do that would stop me. I’ve made up my mind… I said with a cold tone of my own

Don’t you dare date Newton, I meant it, in fact I want you to stay away from him just stay far away from him, I am not going to have this conversation again with you, if you don't want my trouble so end whatever rubbish you think you two have...

Give me one good reason why I should even consider staying away from him.

I hold you, no explanation. He stretched his last statement. And about our stupid deal you’re not allowed to date anyone Creamy, forget I ever said those rubbish, for now, you are too small to have a boyfriend especially not Newton, he is only going to hurt you. Creamy, you should stop right now, I don't want you getting hurt and you should know I’ll hurt him even more and anyone else who dares to even make you cry

He won’t hurt me as much as you have … I screamed at his face before I could stop myself, I pin my lips realizing how stupid am I? how can I say something like that to him now? What if he found out that I am in love with him.

What did you say? He asked confused

Um! I said... Uh... I stammered.

If it’s about this morning and yesterday, I’m really really sorry. I never meant to hurt you that way, you’re irreplaceable, I beg you stop it already. He try to take my hands, I withdrew it unconsciously then gasped for air.

Thank goodness he thinks I still meant this morning, yesterday, all those stuff but at least my secret is safe for now and that naughty Newton will not spill since I will be dating him.

Why do I feel that, I am just your puppet? You said I am your best friend and you care about me and now you’re actually dictating who I can and cannot date. We had a deal Cameron, you’re keeping yours and I’m keeping mine

Not with that asshole… He seethed

Why? He is really a nice boy; he’s handsome; fun to be with, he is...

I said not him…he growled cutting me off

What’s your deal with him? You can’t just tell me not to date someone..

That’s exactly what I’m telling you now, you not allowed to date anyone because I’m pretty sure they would only hurt you. You don't have to worry about having a boyfriend anymore, just take it all on me. And assume me as your boyfriend, I will be there for you anytime, I will do anything for you because...... He said then take my hand, I stare at him.
