{Amaya Rose}

The charity fair is tomorrow and I decide to make fudge brownies and blueberry muffins so Xavier can have something to eat in case he doesn't want anything else.

While I make that I send a quick text to Xavier to tell him the timings of the fair and he sends me an 'okay muffin.'

I smile and continue my baking. After I'm done with the muffins, I start making the fudge brownies and my mind goes to Cameron.

We started talking more and he keeps telling me to make him more brownies so I decided to text him.

'Hey, Cam!' I greet

'Hey, Mara.' He replies after a few minutes.

'I have a fair tomorrow and I am making your favorite brownies for it. If you want to come and buy them then that's your invitation. It's for a charity.'

'Oh my god FINALLY! I'll be there.'

I laugh and send him the address quickly before going back to the brownies.

Cameron can meet Xavier too. It'll be great.

After I am done with everything I cover both dishes, and put them in the fridge.

I don't have to wake up too early cause the fair starts in the afternoon and ends at night. We also have no classes tomorrow and it's my day off from work cause of the timing so I had everything planned out.

At around 2 AM I text Xavier and ask him if he is going to come over.

'I can't love. I have a lot of work then I have to drop Dante at the house and I'll be exhausted by then. I'll see you tomorrow though okay?'

'Okay. Don't overwork yourself and get some sleep. Be safe.' He likes the message and I head to bed.

I watch a movie and I end up sleeping by 6 AM.

I wake up the next day at 3 PM and the fair starts at 5:30 so I need to leave by 5:00.

I start getting ready and send a text to Ash to ask where she is since she was going to take me with her.

After a while, she texts me to come downstairs and I grab everything before heading down and to her car.

We drive to the fair and set the things on the huge table. It's so crowded.

About an hour later, Cameron shows up.

"OH MY GOD, WHAT THE FUCK! THEY ARE DONE. NOOOOO," he cries out, staring at the plate that contained the brownies.

"Relax there-" I get cut off by him.

"NO. YOU PROMISED ME BROWNIES AMARA AND NOW THERE AREN'T ANY," he is so dramatic. Also again, Amaya not Amara but I don't bother correcting him.

"CAMERON THERE ARE MORE BROWNIES," I shout out, grabbing the other tray of brownies and shoving them to him.

"Oh. Here," he hands me a stack of hundreds and I stare at him.

"They aren't that much," I gape.

"Charity remember? Plus, these should be worth a lot more," he shrugs, walking towards a table.

Around an hour later I text Xavier to ask where he is.

'Busy. I'll be there soon babe.'

Okay then. At least he texted. He'll be here Amaya.

I continue selling the food and soon everyone starts to leave. Xavier is still not here...

At midnight everyone is gone except my friends who are all sitting at a table and Cam is with them.

I walk over to them with a smile not wanting them to know I'm sad.

Cameron looks at me and tilts his head.

I sit on one of the chairs and we just talk about random things before Blake reaches out to take one brownie from Cameron's tray.

"NO. MY BROWNIES," Cameron shields them from everyone.

"Come on Cam. Just one," Blake huffs.

Cameron doesn't budge and swats Blake's hand away when he tries to reach for the brownies again.

"CAMERON GIVE ME A BROWNIE YOU FUCKER!" Blake yells.

"NO BITCH. GET YOUR OWN. I PAID FOR THESE," Cam yells back. They are like kids.

Cameron ends up giving Blake half a brownie and Blake gladly accepts it.

I reach out for a brownie and surprisingly Cameron lets me but when I try to go for another one he swats my hand away, "don't push it."

I laugh and shake my head.

After a while, they all leave instead of Cameron who helps me clean up the table.

"You don't have to," I sigh.

He stops, looks at me then continues cleaning.

I can't focus on anything but Xavier. He did it again.

"What's wrong, kid?" Cameron huffs.

I push myself up and sit on the table, "I'm so done."

He tilts his head, "done? With what?"

"Xavier. He was supposed to be here, to finally meet my friends. He promised he would come. He didn't... Obviously," I groan.

He walks over to me, "Why didn't he come?"

"I don't know," I admit, "he said he was busy."

"Then it was probably something important. He cares about you. don't sweat it," he smiles.

I nod and we go back to cleaning, after we are done he offers to drop me home and I accept.

When we reach my apartment, I get out and he calls after me.

"Yeah?" I ask, turning to him. he just pulls me in for a hug and holds me there.

"Talk to him, hm? Let him explain Amaya. If anything happens tell me," He soothes.

I nod and we both turn when we hear someone clear their throat.

Xavier. He is standing there with a flower and he pulls me away from Cameron and closer to him.

I pull away and just stare at him while he glares and Cameron.

He turns to me, "Hey muffin."

"Why didn't you come?" I ask, getting to the point.

He looks at me for a moment, "I want to talk about the entire thing. Let's go upstairs okay?"

"No. Tell me why you weren't there. Here." I refuse.

"Baby please-" he starts.

I cut him off, "Where were you, Xavier?"

"With Jennifer," he whispers.

I look at him for a moment then turn to Cameron who is glaring at Xavier.

"Thank you for the ride, Cam. I'll talk to you later okay?" he nods and gets into his car.

I start walking towards the building with Xavier following me. I turn to him, making him halt, "leave."

"What? Muffin let's talk about it," he blurts out.

"There is nothing to talk about. You missed another thing you were supposed to come to because you were with Jennifer," I explain.

"But I was going to come. Just listen to me. Please muffin," he pleads.

I sigh, "Explain. Here."

We are standing outside my door at this point and I do not want him inside.

"The guy I assigned to Jen was in an important meeting and no one was free so she asked me to drop her at her friend's house so I agreed," he starts.

"So, there was a lot of traffic on the way there and while we were driving there she got a text from an old friend who was in town for a few hours so we ended up going there," he continues.

"She told me she has been wanting me to meet this friend for a while so I went in for a bit and that ended up being hours and when I looked at the time, it was already twelve so I decided to come here and wait for you." he finishes.

He looks at me and waits for my reaction and all I think about is how I feel my heart break, "so, when you were supposed to meet my friends, you were meeting with her friends? Your ex's?"

"I didn't mean to Baby. I lost track of time-" he tries to explain.

"Xavier we are over and I resign. I don't want to work for you or date you. Goodbye," I conclude, walking into my apartment.

"What? Muffin- Don't do this, please," he panics, stopping me from closing my door.

I look at him, practically begging with my eyes, "please Xavier. Leave me alone."

His eyes widen when tears fill my eyes, "I can't do this Xav. You keep doing the same thing. Over and over again. I cannot take it anymore!"

"Amaya. I'm so sorry love. Don't cry," he tries to hug me but I push him back.

"No! Leave Xavier. Leave me alone. Please for god's sake Fuck off," I sob.

He backs away and I slam the door shut.

I sit in front of my door and just cry.

He promised he wouldn't do that again. 'I would never hurt you on purpose.'

Bullshit.
