It was empty in the dorm and I went to take shower. Once I was out, I rub the fog away from the mirror and turn around to look at my bruise on my back. It wasn't as vivid as it was before but you could still see it. I truly hope it goes away soon. I then go to my room and lay on my bed and scroll through social media. I just happen to go on Nia's page and she posted the picture of them at the pool. She tags everyone and out of the three, Tori was the only one who liked it.

I stare at Trevor in the picture and smiled as the sun beams down on his wet body. I want to call him to tell him I made a mistake. I do love him and want to be with him. But look at me? I'm broken, I'm weak and he deserves someone better. I can't even bring up the Nico situation. Does his hit count? Wasn't it just self-defense? Didn't I hit him first? I roll my eyes and pulled out the CD under my pillow. This was the second to last song on the case. I laugh as everyone knows Maroon 5, "She Will Be Loved". I go ahead play it on my phone and close my eyes as the song plays.

My mind starts racing about Trevor. Then it jumps to Breenan and how excited he was to propose to Nia. And how Blake was so nice at first. She was sweet and seemed like she really wanted to be friends with everyone. What changed?

I hear the dorm door open and I turn off the music and started to get dressed. A couple knocks came at the door then Desi walks in.

"Hey...you" she says.

"Hey, how was your night?" I ask.

"Girl, wild and I have a huge hangover. How was yours?"

"How was Soulja?"

"Girl please" she said and I laugh. "Sorry for leaving you with all of them yesterday"

"Breenan cheated on Nia with Blake. Turns out Blake is using my own wrongs against me so she's basically a bitch and Trevor once again tells me that's he loves me and you know what I did about all of this? Absolutely NOTHING!" I say and shake my head.

"Wait a minute bitch, what?"

"I did nothing! I didn't confront Breenan about it. I let Blake say whatever and I told Trevor I didn't love him, can you believe that? Now here I am"

"Camari... calm down" she said stepping into my room.

"No I can't Desi. Why do I always make the wrong decisions? I just felt like if I stayed away from everyone. If I didn't involve myself in their situations or their problems then I would be fine. But this... this is crazy. I just feel like everything I do is wrong" I say looking at her.

"Well Camari what do you want to do about it?"

"What?" I ask.

"I mean you're obviously upset. So instead of feeling sorry for yourself, do something. Shit..." she says and I stare at her.

"Wouldn't I make things worst?"

"Telling your brother he's a fuckin douche for cheating on his wife to be? How would that make it worst? Putting Blake in her place? How would that make it worst? Telling Trevor you do want to be with him? Uhh... I mean regardless of Breenan, you guys obviously want to be with each other so do it. And can you do it soon because I'm ready to leave your brother and all their problems behind us" she says walking out the room. I bite my lip and shake my head. She's right... like usual.

I should start with Trevor first. But I've said no to him multiple times now like why would he accept me now? I grab my phone and look to see I had an un-read email. I go to it to see it was Professor Warren. I roll my eyes then proceeded to read the email.

Camari,

I thought long and hard over your extra credit assignment. I want you to send me back an email on what it means to be in-love with someone in your own words.

This assignment is due on Monday morning, good luck.

Professor Warren

I roll my eyes and exit the email. Too corny and I'll bullshit it later. I go to call Trevor and I listen to it ring. I hurry to cancel it and shake my head. What the hell am I going to say? Hey Trevor, I love you. Let's run away together? I laugh when my phone rings and Trevor is calling me back. I stare at it and shake my head.

"Hello?" I said.

"You alright? You called"

"Yea I'm fine, sorry I butt-dialed" I said.

"Oh... okay" he says.

"Wait no I'm lying" I said and he laughs.

"Need money for your dress?" he says and I couldn't help to laugh.

"I'm in the mood for a root-bear float, how about you?"

"I guess I could do a double chocolate mint" he says and I couldn't help to smile. "I'll come by in ten" he says.

"Sounds good" I say and we hang up the phone. I go to the bathroom to fix my hair and lowkey put some make-up on. I laugh at myself because Trevor's seen me at my worst and here I am trying again.

I peek into Desi's room and she was laying on her bed and I smile and shut the door. I grab my purse and I head downstairs. Trevor pulls in just as I make it outside and I hurry over to get in the car. His air was blasting and I was thankful.

"Just promise me you won't dump your ice cream on my car again" Trevor says pulling away and I laugh.

"I promise" I said and he laughs. "How's Breenan?"

"Avoiding Nia" he says handing me his phone. I look to see text messages and calls from Nia.

"When she can't get a hold of him, she calls me. I keep making up excuses for him but... he's scared" Trevor says and I shake my head.

"And Blake?"

"I haven't talked to her nor do I want to" he says and I look at him.

"I really shouldn't be saying this but he should tell her"

"I agree" Trevor says as we pull into Dairy Queen. We both step out the car and walk to the front as Trevor orders. Once he had his ice cream and I had my drink we walk over by his car. "I can't tell if he should say something now or wait till the party is over this weekend"

"Does he some-what like Blake?" I ask.

"I asked him that and he said no. Not at all. Like she's hot and all but he wants Nia"

"What do you think Nia will do?"

"Like forgive him? Honestly I don't know" Trevor says licking his ice cream. "Man... we're always screwing up, huh?"

"Trevor hey" someone says and we look over to see a brunette smiling at us.

"Jamie, hey" he says and her smile gets bigger.

"I was so angry you left work early the other day we couldn't continue our conversation about the Lakers and Warriors" she laughs and I roll my eyes.

"You were on such bull thinking Draymond could beat Lebron" he laughs.

"Well maybe I can buy us drinks and explain to you why I said what I said?" she smirks.

"Are you just assuming that we're not together?" I interrupt and they both look at me.

"Oh, umm are you?" she ask confused.

"Matter of fact, if you didn't interrupt us then I could tell him I want to be with him, so"

"I'm sorry how old are you?"

"Old enough... bitch"

"Cam" Trevor laughs then looks over at the girl. "I'll see you at work Jamie"

"I guess so" she says staring at me and walking away to join some other girl waiting by a car.

"Pathetic" I say and look at Trevor and he stares at me. "So do you just attract the most bitchiest, most annoying girls in the world?"

"Well... I don't think of you as a bitch or annoying I mean..." he thinks and I laugh.

"Whatever" I say taking a sip of my root beer float.

"Wow" he says and I look at him.

"What?"

"Do you think you can bypass what you just said?" he ask and I stare at me.

"Give me a minute, I'm working up to it" I laugh.

"No. I think I've given you enough time" he says and I stare at him. "I don't have the patience for the games Camari"

"No games" I say and he stares at me.

"You just told me straight up yesterday you're happy without me? Yesterday... what the hell changed?"

"I just realized that... I need to stop lying to you... about me and how I feel"

"What? Nico dumps you and now you want me again?"

"No! Not at all. Trevor... I am really not trying to argue"

"You just confuse me and it's annoying as hell"

"I was just thinking about you that's why I said what I said"

"Me?"

"Yea with what would happen with Breenan"

"Cam who the hell cares at this point? Honestly I'm the best guy out here for you so he should be happy" Trevor says and shakes his head. "Just be honest"

"I am"

"Nah, just say you're scared that what I did to Tori, I'll do to you"

"I would hope you wouldn't teach another virgin how to have sex" I joke and he stares at me. "Trevor... it was more of me finding myself. I thought since I was young and inexperienced and you were finally ready for something serious, I panicked and I didn't want to let you down so I continued to say no but Desi... is tired of me talking about you and she's right. We should do this"

"Us"

"Yes"

"You sure?" he ask. "I'm being serious"

"Yes I'm sure"

"Tomorrow you're not going to tell me that you have other hoes" he says and I couldn't help to laugh.

"Stop. I swear" I said and he stares at me. I smile and look at his ice cream. "Can I have some?" I said grabbing the cone. I start to lick it and he looks at me.

"Should I call your brother now?" he ask.

"No, wait till the work party is over"

"Is that a good idea?"

"Why wouldn't it be?"

"You might make up another excuse on why we can't be together again" he says and I roll my eyes. "Does this mean I can kiss you?" he ask and I couldn't help to smile. Trevor steps up to me and when he was close enough I shove his ice cream in his face and stepped back dropping the cone on the floor. "Really?" he said and I couldn't help to laugh.

"That was payback" I said and he shakes his face and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Awesome" he says turning around to the front to get some napkins. He walks back over to me wiping his mouth and I smile at him.

"Okay, forreal this time" I said stepping up to him. Trevor then tips my root-beer and it spills on me. "DUDE!" I yell and he laughs. "You're so fuckin bitter" I say setting the cup on his car and he keeps laughing. I smile at him as his laugh brings me joy.

"Guess you have to take off your shirt" he adds grabbing me, pulling me close so our lips touch. I hold onto his shirt as our lips move in sync and I never wanted this end. Trevor then pulls away from me and I stare at him. "Cami..." he starts and I continue to stare at him. "Get your drink off my car" he says and I laugh and shake my head. I grab my root-beer and walk it over to the trash-can and went to join Trevor in the car.

"I would feel bad for Blake but I don't"

"Why would you feel bad for Blake?" he ask.

"She seemed like she really liked you"

"If she really liked me, she wouldn't had slept with my best friend" Trevor says.

"Speaking of sleeping with each other..."

"Mmm... Breenan's at home and I'm not doing a dorm again, I can get us a hotel room forsure"

"Stop" I laugh and he joins. "You leave your watch on purpose?"

"You found it... about time"

"No... Nico found it" I said and he stares at me. "Did you do that on purpose"

"I'm sure as hell not leaving an expensive watch like that on accident" he says and I smile at him leaning over to kiss him.

"I love you" I say staring at him.

"Mmm... I can listen to you say that forever" he smiles planting his lips on my neck. "I love you too"
