Chapter 5

The awkward silence continued and I sighed. Why didn't they believe us. Goddamn it. "You know what? I think it's really fucked up that you guys don't believe us. If we say it's fine, then it is. We both overreacted, but it's all good now. We are okay now.", I said pissed off and Alex nodded. "We didn't meant to upset you, we were just worried. Sorry for being good friends.", she said sarcastically, but I was not in the mood for sarcasm. "Sure, blame me.", I said annoyed and she scoffed. "That was a joke.", Brian explained. "Well, it was a great one.", I said annoyed. "You know guys, I think you should leave. We'll talk to you later.", Camerom said and they all stood up except for Ethan. "Ethan, you should leave too.", Cam said calmly and Ethan shook his head. "I'm her boyfriend!", he said stubbornly. "I'll take that part for today.", Cameron said. "No way.", Ethan said and Cameron nodded. "You've been Izzy's boyfriend for 3 hours, I've been her friend for years. I'm winning this. Bye.", Cam said, pushed Ethan out of my room and slammed the door shut.

"Thanks.", I said quietly and he gave me a genuine smile. "I just...I don't know. They never believe me. Never listen to me. But maybe that is my problem. I'm not the person people listened to. They tell me their problems and I solved them, or try. I listen. But no one does to me.Who can I even trust. When someone has a problem, I'm always the one to help them, to comfort them and listen. I'm always the one who tries to solve the problem. Just not mine. I don't talk about mine. I guess it's whatever. Thanks that you made them leave.", I said and wiped a single tear away. I didn't even realize I started crying. And that Cameron was hugging me. "I'll always be here and listen to you. I will always do that.", Cameron whispered into my ear and I hid my head in his neck. "I care about you Izzy. A lot. I don't want you to be sad. And I know it doesn't always seems like it, but believe me. I always do and always will. Don't think that no one listens. You have great friends and you have me. Obviously the best one out of them.", he said as we pulled away and I laughed a little. "See? I'm great. I can make you laugh.", Cam said smiling. "You can. You always can. Thank you Cameron. Thank you for being here and being such a good guy. And sorry for me telling you all that stupid stuff.", I said and he shook his head. "Don't be. There's nothing to be sorry about. It was important. And now stop crying, you look like a complete disaster.", he smiled and I nodded. "You'll never change, will you?", I asked him and he shrugged. "Probably not. But just to be clear, I don't need to. I'm already amazing. I won't get better, duh.", he laughed and I did too. "And there it is again. That laugh. It always should be on your face. Looks prettier.", Cam said and I nodded. "I will just believe you with that.", I giggled. "Good and now go wash your face. Even your smile can't help your face, you are full of that black eyelash shit.", he said and pointed to the bathroom. I stood up with a nod and went to the bathroom. Damn, I really looked terrible. It's a miracle that he was still here and didn't run away. I washed everything off and went back. "Better?", I asked him and he nodded. "It's already 1 am? Wow.", I laughed as I looked on the clock. "Yeah, let's go to sleep. Should I go home or do you need more mental support?", Cameron asked me and I shrugged. "More mental support.", he decided by himself and left my room. Where the hell did he go? I grabbed my pyjama and changed in the bathroom.

As I came back Cameron was in boxers and one of Ian's shirts. "I borrowed something.", he said and I nodded in approval. We both layed down in my bed and fell asleep.It wasn't awkward. Wasn't the first time we slept in one bed.

As I woke up I felt two strong arms around me. I opened my eyes and saw Cameron's sleeping face inches away from mine. I sighed and I looked down. Our legs were tangled and there wasn't any space between us. I tried to stand up, but Cameron just tightened his grip. "Cam, I want to move.", I said tiredly, but he shook his head. "Please?", I begged but he pulled me even closer. I sighed and just went with it. There was no way I could stand up without him participating. I fell asleep, I mean how couldn't I. It was warm and comfortable to be held in someones arms. I haven't had something like that in a long time. But then my phone buzzed.
