Chapter Eight:




A Bit of Heart Break

____________________


Sophia's POV


I felt my eyelids trying to slide shut as my head leaned against something hard. Something that I opened my eyes to see was Cameron's shoulder that I was leaning on. A blush warmed my cheeks, but I pushed it away.

I wasn't in the mood to pick up my head and move it. Plus, his shoulder was more comforting than I thought it was at first. That is, until I could practically feel his eyes burning a hole in the side of my skull. I felt my eyes try to slide shut again, but the movie was almost over and I didn't want to miss the rest. We were right at the part where Harry is about to fight a gigantic snake. 

Quite like the book, if you ask me. 

I felt myself begin to fall but soon realized that Cameron was lowering himself down so that he could lie down on his back. My head fell forwards and stayed on his chest while he cautiously rested his arm -the one I was laying on- on my torso. I felt tingles on the skin that my shirt wasn't covering on my waist. 

I could feel Cameron's heart beating in his chest, faster than you'd expect it to be right now. 

I brought my hand up to the side of my face and rested it on his chest beside my head. My eyes slowly began to flutter shut but I already felt like I was in dreamland, having a boy this close to me. it's never happened before. Like, ever. This was new to me. 


I glanced up at the mirror my mom had hung above the TV set and caught a glimpse of Cameron's face. It was emotionless. His eyes were on the top of my head and he had his -emotionless- thinking face on, eyebrows furrowed. I felt awkward for a minute. His hand lightly played with the tips of my silky brown hair as his face stayed the same. 

Right as I was about to fall asleep and brush this feeling of sadness I got from just an expression on Cameron's face, the phone's ringer burst through out the house. I shot up so quick I was sure I would have whiplash when this was all over. 

I grumbled under my breath as I stood up quickly, not having time to look at Cameron. I wanted to get to the phone before it woke up Matt. My hand wrapped around the phone and I read daddy across the screen. Mom put his name in the land phone so if he called, we'd know who it was. 

I mentally groaned before pressing the answer button and holding the cold object to my ear. I noticed that my contacts were getting a little blurry on me and that I was about to fall asleep with them in -not a good idea. I allowed my fathers deep voice take over my attention. 

"Hello?" I answered. 

"Sophia? Hey, I'm working late and I need you to tell your mother when she gets home. She's not answering her phone because she's at work." He paused for a moment before realized that I got all that, "Are you guys doing OK? How's the weather at the house?" 

"It's fine. We're fine. Can I go now? I was just about to fall asleep. And you almost woke Matt up." I scolded him. My dad knows I'm protective over Matt, so anything that rubs me the wrong way that has to do with him, I'll step up and take someone's head off if I have to.
