Ej's POV
At last this God forsaken show is over. I have come so far in these last 2 weeks. All the hell I've been through doing this. I certainly didn't expect this to happen but in a way I'm glad it did. I guess it had to happen.
"Hey, here's your check" Corbin said approaching me with my check along with Channing.
"Thanks" I said taking my check.
"You really did a great job" Corbin said
"Thank you" I said. Corbin stuck out his hand for me to shake. I proudly shook it and then they walked away.
"I'm proud of you" My dad who stood there witnessing everything said.
"Thanks Dad.....that really means a lot" I said to him face to face. Then I looked down at my hands at the envelope with my check. I opened it up to see a check for $200,000 as promised.
"Come on, I'll go take you to go cash that and teach you to reinvest so it can multiply." He said
"Ha ok" I said because it was funny. My dad is still my dad a walking cooperation.
Everyone was going to go celebrate at the bondfire. I wasn't in the mood to celebrate with anyone. My dad flew in on his helicopter. He's staying at the ritz. I decided to take my celebration there. I enjoyed room service, Egyptian cotton sheets, the tv and spending some quality time with my dad. Although we haven't seen eye to eye lately there's nobody I can trust more than him. He's my dad. He will always want the best for me and he's always on my side right or wrong.
The next morning my dad flew me back to camp. I walked back to the yurt differently. I just realized soon this will be my last time taking this walk. I looked around at everything remembering when I first came here when I was 13. I'll never forget the summers I've spent here. I'm very grateful for the times I've spent here. This place will always be special to me even in spite of all that's going on. And what will happen next.
When I got back to the Yurt nobody was in there. I put my bag on my bed and then I went to the front office to let Dewy know I was back.
After I talked to Dewy I headed back to the Yurt but not before running into Gina.
It was weird and awkward between us. I really can't read what she is thinking in this moment but if I'm honest I really don't care. I mean I care about Gina...and I do love her.....but just because I love her that doesn't that it's enough. Honestly what do I even really know about love. Every time I fall in love it always goes wrong for me.
"Hey" she said
"Hey" I said back to her.
"Can we talk please?" She asked
"Uhm....sure, I guess we should" I answered
We sat down on a nearby bench to talk.
"Why did you leave camp after the show?" She asked me.
"I spent some time with my dad" I said
"Did you get him to change his mind about the whole school of Caswell thing?" She asked anxiously
"No actually I didn't....actually I've changed my mind" I said
"What?.....wait so....you're going?" She asked confused.
"No, I actually decided on something else. I'm moving here to Los Angeles. I was offered an opportunity to study at the LA Film school. I'm going to study film and production in the fall." I told her
"What...are you serious? " she asked shocked
"Yeah" I said
"So what does this mean for us?" She asked
