Serena's P.O.V.

"Alright, here we are!" T.J smiled, taking my bag from my feet when we arrived at her house. I stepped out of the black Lexus, and I looked up to see the house. I was in awe of its structure, and I couldn't believe T.J was so lucky to live in a home like this.

"T.J! Is this Serena who I've heard so much about?" Mrs. McGibbon gushed as I shook her hand. "Hi, Mrs. McGibbon, it's so nice to meet you!" I smiled. She took the bag from T.J and placed it on the large gray sofa. "I'm so sorry to hear about what happened with you and Aidan," She said, giving me a look of sympathy. I looked over at T.J, having no idea that she had explained the situation to her mom. She must've told her while I was talking to Cameron.

"Yeah, it's not pleasant," I sighed, looking down at the ground. "T.J. can show you around the place, and I'll go make some lunch for us all," Mrs. McGibbon said, walking into the kitchen, leaving the two of us alone. She took me upstairs, and she showed me around the house. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a small basement, and the main floor had a dining room, kitchen, and living room. "This is a nice place!" I smiled, placing my bag of clothes on my bed. The room was painted a beautiful shade of blue. The white curtains had been drawn back, letting sunlight into the room.

"I'll leave you to get settled," T.J smiled before shutting the door. I took some of the clothes out of my bag and set my guitar against one of the walls. By the time I had finished unpacking, my phone had started ringing, and I saw that it was Cameron.

Serena: Hey.

Cameron: Hey. You feeling a little better?

Serena: Kind of, I'm just a little numb right now, and I don't know if that's normal.

Cameron: It is. It'll feel that way for a little bit. But you'll be fine.

Serena: You're a good guy, Cam. I'm glad we're friends.

Cameron: Me too. Hey, I was wondering, if you want some company, do you want to hang out at Hank's Froyo tomorrow?

Did Cameron ask me out after I broke with Aidan? Part of me knew that this wasn't a date, but the other half of me had a hunch that it was.

Serena: This isn't a date is it?

Cameron: No, no date. Just as friends.

I let out a quiet breath of relief, knowing Cameron knew better than to ask me out so soon after my horrible breakup. I was glad Aidan wasn't there when Cameron asked me to hang out. Aidan would lose his shit. But he didn't have to worry about that anymore. Cause like Cameron said, "I was no longer his concern,"

"Okay, I'll be there. Text me a time to meet up," I said before hanging up the phone. A few seconds later, I got a text message from Lauren.

Lauren (Foster Mom)

Lauren: Hey sweetie, did you make it to T.J's safely?

Serena: Yeah, I got there a little while ago.

Lauren: Good! 😊

Serena: How's Aidan taking this?

Lauren: He's not good. He's been curled up on the bed with tears in his eyes for the past half hour now.

I got to go now. Stay safe! 💖

Serena: I will! 💖

My heart ached when Lauren told me about Aidan, but I figured it was karma coming back on him for cheating. But I couldn't think of him right now. Otherwise, I would be a sobbing mess. So, I just focused on Cameron and my upcoming hangout session with him. I walked downstairs to join the McGibbon's for lunch. "BLT's!" Mrs. McGibbon smiled as she placed a paper plate with the sandwich in front of me.

During lunch, my mind kept going back to Aidan and what had happened at the pool. It didn't make any sense. Aidan focused on me and his career, so it didn't make sense that he would suddenly cheat on me. Maybe he was telling the truth. No, he can't. I know what I saw!

Or do I?
