A prom to remember Haley tag Ca

[Haley Rowan]

Haley had been waiting for this. She lovedprom.She went every year so far and now came the year when she didn't even need a date, but she had one and it was the best date cause she really cared about Cam. Granted he seemed to be more in love with her, but Haley had the feeling he had weasled his way into her heart. Cause she had strong feelings for him. You would think she wuld want somone fun and exciting, but she liked what Cam had to offer. He was different.

Haley's light blue dress complimented her cream colored skin. She had silver shoes and a light blue clutch purse. Her hair was inloose curls on the top of her head with a few cascading down her face. Her makeup was not to dark and not to light. She had no idea if they were spending the night in the hotel, so she had a small over night bag to leave in the limo just in case.

When Haley heard the door bell she gave herself the once over and then headed for the stairs. her father was at the doorand pulled it open to see Cam. Haley's father smiled. "Taking my daughter to prom, eh." Mr. Rowan said. "Just keep her safe. And have her home at a decent hour tomorrow.' Mr. Rowan said basically giving Cam permission to keep Haley for the night. "You're a good man." He said patting the boy on the chest.

Mr. Rowan turned back and saw Haley. "Have a good night." he kissed his daughters cheek and moved so Cam could finally see her.

[Cameron Whitlock III]

Cameron took several deep breaths before stepping out of the limo. He was glad that it would just be him and Haley and they wouldn't have to share it with any of her friends. Cam was trying...he really was trying when it came to Haley's friends. But still, he much preferred when it was just the two of them. Still, things had been going well with them...well, sort of. Cam loved Haley. He'd loved her for a long time now but it had been more than a month since he'd admitted it to her. And she still hadn't said it back. It was something that he wished didn't bother him...after all, she cared about him and that was all that mattered. But it sort of did matter...as much as he didn't want it to...it did...

Cam walked up to the front door, being polite as always to Haley's dad even though he sort of freaked him out. Still, he gave him permission to keep Haley out all night which was a good thing because he'd already gotten a room at the hotel for them. "Thank you sir," he said simply before her father left, giving Cam a chance to see her for the first time.

He was breathless. She was a vision in blue...completely gorgeous. "Haley...you look...." he trailed off, he wasn't sure if there were words to describe it. "Incredible," he finally settled for although he didn't think that it really did her justice. "I um...I got this for you," he said pulling out the corsage. It was with white roses. While she'd told him her dress was blue, Cam's mom had instructed him on going with the white corsage so it wouldn't look so matchy-matchy. Cam had zero fashion sense anyway. Thankfully, he'd stuck with a traditional tux...nothing could go wrong there.

Once he put the corsage on her wrist, he leaned in and kissed her on the cheek. "Shall we?" he asked, holding out his arm for her to take.

[Haley Rowan]

Haley held her hand out so he could place it on her wrist. Haley leaned over and kissed Cam, "You look really handsome in that tux." She whispered.

"Pictures before you leave." Mr. Rowan said. He smiled at the look his daughter gave him, "Just indulge an old man." He took a few pictures and smiled. "Now you may go." He gestured to the door.

"I never knew my father to be a sentimental old fool." Haley joked as she took a hold of cam's hand. Tonight was not a night to worry about graduation, tonight was a night to worry about having fun, dancing and enjoying the night. "I hope you brought your dancing shoes, cause I have reserved all the slow songs for us to dance." She smirked.

Haley slid into the limo first and smiled as cam got in. She scooted closer to him, She looped her arm through his and gave him a long, deep kiss. She hadn't said I love you cause saying it would make it all too real that he was leaving and Haley was not one to enjoy a long distance relationship. She wasn't sure she could do it.

[Cameron Whitlock III]

Cam posed for the pictures that Haley's father took. It was probably a good thing since his parents had been bugging him about how they wanted him to swing back by with Haley for pictures. Of course though Cam had said no, being too embarrassed to do that to Haley. But now he could just get copies of the pictures that Haley's dad was taking.

Once the pictures were finished, they headed to the limo. "I suppose these are dancing shoes," he said, glancing down at his dress shoes as they walked. "But I'm glad you've reserved the slow ones since I don't know if I'll do as well on the fast ones," he admitted. Cam was an awkward dancer at best but he could handle the slow ones since there was less movement involved.

Haley sat close to him in the limo and Cam couldn't help but smile. He loved her...he really did. The problem was that she didn't love him back... At first that was okay...but it was starting to get to the point where it wasn't. "So...I have to send in my form to MIT Monday," he mentioned. "I think I'll decline, stick around here instead," he said, wanting to gauge her reaction to him sticking around. Really he was thinking he should go? Why stick around for someone who would never love him? The only problem was he did love her and part of him wanted to stay anyway in the hopes that her feelings might change.

[Haley Rowan]

Haley did love Cam, but she was also only seventeen and he was a senior going off to MIT. Now she could say stay here and she knew he would, but that was her being selfish and not letting him live his life. She had already thought about this. She was thinking of dumping him. forcing him to leave. He had to go. In her mind he did. Haley thought Cam would resent her if she made him stay. Haley did not want to be responsilbe for Cam not taking the chance he had been waiting on. She cuddled close to Cam and began to kiss his neck. "Slow songs just another name for foreplay. Its a great way to build up to tonight. A night you won't forget." She had to make it that way to make him happy. She wanted him to be happy.

"MIT, where is that again?" Of course Haley knew. She laughed smiling at him. "Haven't you been wanting MIT for like the longest time. Isn't it your dream. What would you do for a year without MIT? Can you even put it off for a year?" She wasn't sure she wanted him to do that. She would feel guilty. Of course Haley could not just say this. "Look why don't we talk about it later, But I thin kyou should send in the form, papers or whatever, and you have until the beginning of summer to see what is going to happen." She told him unaware thats probably not what he wanted to hear.

"I think you going to MIT is great." She told him. "My younger man graduating before me." Haley joked. Haley touched his face. "I care about you, you know that."At first this had been more of a way to have a guy she liked who could fit in easier, but now Haley had fallen hard for her little nerd and she really felt for Cam, so the idea od him going away scared her.

[Cameron Whitlock III]

Cameron nodded as Haley insinuated that the night would be one that he wouldn't forget. He knew that he should be happy about it, but it was hard wondering if she'd ever love him. One sided love could only go so far and Cam was afraid that theirs had run its course. He didn't want to think that way...he wanted to be happy...he wanted to have a good time and give Haley a night to remember in turn, but it was all weighing on him and ruining his mood. He forced himself to smile. "Every night with you is one I'll never forget," he murmured, his voice quiet and thoughtful.

"It's in Boston," he said, knowing very well that she already knew this. After all they had discussed it before. Or maybe she just hadn't paid attention because it didn't care. The thought that Haley might be acting this way for his benefit didn't cross his mind. The way Cam saw it, putting off school for a bit wasn't a big deal. Cam was indeed ridiculously smart. He was a certified genius and could have skipped more grades than he did if his parents would have let him. But they wanted him to be with kids his own age so they'd only let him skip two years. Now he was 16 years old and about to start college. And he was excited for it, but it wouldn't be the same without Haley. He'd rather wait a year and then start up somewhere near her...

"Of course I can put it off...but I don't even have to go there. Yeah, its the best math school in the country or whatever but that doesn't matter. I could go wherever I wanted. I could always go there later in life or...I don't know...it doesn't matter..." he trailed off, glancing out the window of the limo. However the windows were tinted and it was dark out making it almost impossible to see anything anyway. He looked back at Haley...beautiful Haley. Why couldn't she have skipped a grade too?

However her words were empty to him as she told him she cared about him because to him, her telling him to go was the final shove out the door. "If you think I should go...then I'll go..." he said. "What are you going to do next year then?" he asked. He already had pictures in his head of her becoming one of Tyler Durnham's many girls. He'd already shown a liking to her after all. But Tyler was graduating too...maybe he wouldn't even be around. Maybe she'd end up dating someone else popular or maybe Wynn would finally get his chance with her. Who knew. All Cameron knew (or at least thought he knew) was that him moving across the country would be the final nail in the coffin that was their relationship.

[Haley Rowan]

"I am going to spend my time missing you and counting down the days till I graduate." Haley told him. "Look Cam when I first met you one of the first things you told me was about going to MIT. I want you to go if thats what you want to do. I don't want you to resent me if you don't go." To Haley she was doing what was best for Cam, or at least what she thought was best for him. She was ignoring her own need to yell at him and make him stay.

"I can't even say where I am going to college after senior year. I mean I was thinking of Yale, but I don't think I could ever get in so I was thinking maybe more like Brown or even UCLA . I do love California." She told him. Haley had no idea how much of a mess Cam's emotions were. She was thinking that he needed a push. Yes she wanted him to stay and if he left they might not make it as a couple, but it beat him resenting her by asking him to give up his dream.

You think Haley would be voicing these fears, but no. She thought she was doing the right thing. Little did she knew it was the wrong thing. Talking was much better then keeping things inside. "Why don't we put off future talks for tomorrow and just enjoy prom okay. This is suppose to be a awesome night for both of us. Me and my senior boyfriend." Haley said giving Cam a heated kiss. "All I want to think about is you holding me as we dance." She whispered into his ear.

"I just want you to be happy." Haley words were sincere. She didn't know how or when but Cam had become one of the most important people to Haley. Her heart ached every time he talked about leaving. She did love him. She really did however, to Haley she was showing it, she didn't realize she should voice the three words as well.

[Cameron Whitlock III]

"I would never resent you..." Cameron whispered but it was probably useless. She said she'd be counting the days until he got back but he was starting to doubt that. She didn't love him. Maybe she'd just hook up with Tyler till he got back. Sure she'd said that she didn't want Tyler but they had flirted and Tyler certainly wanted her. Things seemed to be going from bad to worse. Cam wanted to cry. He grabbed a bottle of water from the limo and took a few sips, the water instantly calming him so he wouldn't look upset. He didn't want Haley to know she was upsetting him. He wanted her to think that everything was okay. He wanted to give her a good prom night.

Yale? Brown? UCLA? Well he supposed Yale and Brown weren't too far...but she loved California...wanted to stay in California... California did have some good schools. He wouldn't doubt that. But for math...for what he wanted to do MIT was the best. Cam really didn't mind going to a lesser school now but he still wanted to make it out to MIT at some point in the future, even if it was later down the road for grad school or for his doctorate. What if Haley never wanted to leave California? Was it naive of him to think that at 16 he'd met the girl he wanted to spend the rest of his life with? Probably. That's what his parents told him at least. They loved Haley but they kept telling him not to base his school decisions on her. But he still wanted to. He loved her and wanted to be with her. And if he could convince her to go to school in Boston then he could just defer a year and they could still be together. But she didn't want to go to Boston. She probably hadn't even looked there because she didn't love him back. That's what it was all coming down to.

"That sounds like a good idea," Cam said about putting off future talks. They arrived at the prom and he got out of the limo first, reaching out and taking Haley's hand to help her out of it. "That's all I want to think about too," he assured her although it was hard to just think about that. Cam escorted her into the dance, as if on cue a slow song began to play as they walked inside. He pulled her onto the dance floor smiling at her as she told him she wanted him to be happy. "I am happy," he told her, "I'm with you." Okay it was cheesy and he wasn't completely happy due to his conflicted thoughts but he did mean it. She made him happy and he knew that by feigning happiness even if he was very confused would make her happy and really, that's all he wanted too. To make her happy.

[Haley Rowan]

Haley was blind. She truly was blind to how Cam was feeling. Haley didn't want to deal with it. She would prefer not to discuss the idea of Cam leaving. it had never occurred to her. Haley had already been accused of using and abusing Cam in their relationship and she just wanted what was best for him. However, she was not the judge of that, yet she wanted to have her cake and eat it too. She wanted to seem like the good supportive girlfriend, but she didn't want cam to leave. yet who was she to stand in his way.

Haley was not known for being the most faithful when her boyfriends were away. However, with that said it was not a matter of being faithful it was a matter of her feelings for Cam and how intense they were. When she first agreed to date Cam, Haley knew he liked her way more then she liked him. Then he said he loved her and she was unable to say it back. Now she felt it and was too scared to say anything.

Haley pushed the thoughts from her head as she smiled and pulled Cam into a slow dance. Her hands rested on his shoulders. "I am happy too. so any plans for after graduation before the summer. Cause I was wondering if you might want to go away for the weekend with me?" Of course Haley was assuming they would be together for that long. Any ideas of breaking up with him so he would leave for the summer rather then stay, had not yet crossed her mind. Cause Haley would never want cam to pass up an opportunity.

[Cameron Whitlock III]

If Cam had any idea that Haley actually loved him back, his whole demeanor would have been different. It was one thing to tell someone that it was okay that they weren't ready to say it back...after all, at the time it had been true. But it was weighing on him now and he wasn't sure if he could handle being in a one sided relationship. He didn't know that he could spend forever with someone who could never love him like he loved them. The whole thing was just a sucky situation.

The more he thought about it, the more he thought that maybe it was a good idea to go away. Why put his whole future on hold for a girl who didn't love him? He had to make the decision and he had to make it by tomorrow. So what would he do? It seemed that everyone was telling him to go...his parents...his teachers...Haley. It was just Cam that wanted to stay behind to be with his high school girlfriend. The whole thing just sounded so trivial when he put it like that.

When Haley asked about going away for a weekend in the summer, Cam nodded. "Of course," he said, but what he was really thinking was that he'd be busy getting ready for school and perhaps it would be easier to push Haley away sooner rather than later. Perhaps then it would hurt less when he actually had to leave. "I'm sure I'll find sometime...I do have a lot to do this summer," he said in an attempt to sound aloof.
