Chapter 23: Chapter 23

Padgett's POV

“I thought you wanted to go washed up? Why are you here? He said as his hands held me firmly on my waist glaring at Newton

If looks could killed, Newton would had die from Cameron stared, right now, Cameron's grip are firm on my waist, I try to get out of it but I can't, the position between us, is extremely awkward and it's making tensed, I kind of love the closeness but it will be dangerous for his girlfriend to see us in this awkward situation, I know we hug but the truth is, I really don't remember we staying like this for a long period of time and right in front of people and now I am enjoying that sweet cologne of his, he smelled pretty nice

Then it hit me, that I was supposed to be mad at him. I snapped back into reality as I tried to get out of his grip which only made him tighten it more

Cameron, let her... Newton said grinning

She is off limits. Cameron said coldly cutting him off before he could finished

I really don’t get why you’re so aggressive you know it was just a hug, it’s not like we were making out, I wonder, what you will do, if we make out. Newton say while he smirked

You really want to die by my hands, I’ve made myself clear stay the hell away from her

“Oh really now and if I don’t? Newton glared at him

I'll beat you to a pulp, she’s off limits, this is the last time.

“Let go of me Cam, you are embarrassing me. I screamed at him

You’re gonna keep your mouth shut, you have no idea how much of a jerk he really is. I’m doing what’s best for you so stay away from this asshole. He said firmly

“Why don’t you let our baby girl decide who she wants to be with?

I will never let her make the mistake of falling for your tricks Newton, stay the hell away from her I won’t repeat it twice the next time. I swear I will make you a cripple

Let go of me… I screamed pushing his hand off my waist.

Let’s get things straight, I’m not your sister; neither am I, your freaking puppet, you have no right to dictate to me what I can and cannot do; you are not the freaking boss of me; so don’t act like I am stupid and you trying to protect me. I screamed taking Newton's hand as he stared at our linked hands

Creamy! You have no fucking idea of what you’re getting yourself into. Newton is a complete nuisance, he isn't what you think he is…He said sadly trying to take my hand, I withdrew my hand from him. I know what I am getting into. I wanted to yelled at him. And this hole, I am walking into it, all because of you and only you could put me in this mess.

But then I smiled at him, then part lips to speak like I am fine, with Newton been my boyfriend.

Just go back to your girlfriend, Cameron, she must be waiting for you……I said, using my other hand to hugged Newton's hand

Fine, I will go Creamy, simply because we are in school but this conversation is not over yet. He said before leaving as tears threatened to fall from my eyes but I was able to blinked then hold them back up

You’re not gonna cry Padgett, you are going to be fine, you will pull through this. I kept muttering to myself but it was too late as a tear rolled down my cheeks until I couldn't help but cry.

Hey it’s okay he is just an idiot that couldn't let go of his toy. I raised my eyes and look at Newton.

Did he just referred to me as Cameron, puppet? I said mentally then look at him, he wanted to take my hands but I withdrew.

I just want to be alone right now. I said to him then sniffled

That’s okay I understand I’ll see you later girlfriend. He said hugging me lightly before leaving as I made my way to the restroom making sure it was empty before crouching to the ground as the tears spilled from my eyes, I really can't understand Newton, one minute he is nice and another he is the asshole that Cameron keep referring to him as.

I knew I had hurt Cameron badly. He most be feeling terrible, just like how I felt when he choose Cathy over me. I’m sure that’s how he must be feeling right now as I choose Newton over him but sadly I had to do it or else I was pretty sure I was gonna end up confessing my undying love for him which wouldn't do both of us any good at all and Cathy, I could see, she really doesn't want to see me anywhere around her boyfriend.

I’m sorry Cam. I said to myself, as my whole body trembled with tears falling down freely before the door creaked up

Baby girl! Emerald called then crouched down as I hugged her tightly

“I hurt him. I really didn't meant to hurt him? I think he is gonna hate me for real now. I said sobbing more.

He won’t hate you; he can’t even if he want to. Come on girl; it’s okay you promised yourself you won’t cry..

I know I said those words but I just can’t help, it hurts badly. I said sobbing hard as my tears fall

You should stop now and listen to me, you needed to see how terrible Cameron was, when he got back to the table which means he is sad, he can’t hate you and he won’t, just take my words, it’ll be alright, stop crying already, you’re making me feel sad… Emerald said as she run her hand on my hair.

Fine, I won’t cry anymore… I said trying to smile

Good, I am really getting sick with your constant crying. She said as I chuckled

Emerald, I don’t think I want to go back to that table, can we go somewhere else

Sure! Let's go to the lab, no one will be there right now and come to think of it, he is really hot, I see while you are crushing on him.

Emerald!

Sorry, I was just saying and his friend Alex, yes, that is his name, he is hot but kind of crazy.

Hm! You are crushing on Alex. I said as she helping me up, she pushed my head slightly.

I am not crushing on him, I am just admiring him. She said then I smirked as we left the restroom.

Lunch break was over and classes went by like expected, the truth is, I wasn't paying attention to the Instructor, hundred percent of my attention was on Cameron and how he must be feeling right now

Guilty had taken the better part of me and about how I treated him. I guess I was just angry that moment and I let my emotions cloud my judgement and I hurt him badly. I just hope he doesn't hate me for it because I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to live with myself if he does I’ll just be broken apart completely that’s for sure, even though part of me, will be happy if he stay away from me, at least, I will be free from all the pain and the hateful comment from his fling and fans. I sighed. What do I really want? I riffled my hair back in frustration, as the bell was rung signifying school was over for that day, I could watch everyone move out including Cameron taking Cathy's hand and left the class, Sutton left in the company of Alex and Ray.

Emerald offered to drive me home but I turned her down, I’ll rather walk and think about all that happened today instead of being confined to a car doing nothing, just has I was about grabbing my bag, Newton message appear in my tab, reminding me of the party and if I am fine now.

The party was the cause of all our recent problems and right now it's seem I lost all interest in it, I really don't know the reason I want to go to that party, party are never my thing, right now, I just hate everything, including me falling for that cheap blackmail.

The school was deserted by the time I was ready to leave and I knew for a fact Cameron and his love Cathy must have gone, I mean after what I did to him who would want to stay behind and wait up for me anyways

I headed to the parking spot since the main gate was right behind it, ready to walk home, when I saw Cameron's car as the only car left in the park, he leaned on his car fidgeting with his hand, when he raised his eyes, it met mine. All of a sudden he move from there, so I thought he was leaving, maybe, he wasn't waiting for me. To my surprise, he opened the passenger seat door and get to the driver seat.

I stood there confused, I really don't know what to do right now, should I walked passed him or go right into the door, that is open for me.
