Chapter 1: Broken
Camiah, she is a lady who just broke up with his jerk
boyfriend. Her heart was in pieces. Crying and longing for comfort. With arms
wrapped on her knees while holding her phone on the darkest part of her room,
she was reading his last message to her while crying. Brandon: We need to break
up. I don't love you anymore. I already found someone better than you.
Camiah: What?! Did I
do something wrong?! Tell me, I'll change it for you. Just please, don't leave
me. We are already dating for almost 1 freaking year and now you choose to
break-up with me?! are you joking Brandon!?
Bradon: No. I've made up my mind. I don't love you anymore.
So stop. Stop chatting, texting me or even going to me.
Camiah: So you just gonna end it here? Without any
explanation? Then fine! Leave me! I will make you regret it.
She was crying hard. Thinking about how does this happen.
She regrets saying those words. She told herself that she should plead, but she
also has pride. Why a girl like her would ask for a man to stay? Camiah was
reminiscing some of her memories with Brandon. She admits that she misses him
so badly. But does she want him back? No.
She throws her phone on her bed aggressively as she mutters,
"I WILL MAKE YOU REGRET HURTING ME. YOU ARE A JERK, DUMBASS, AND AN
ASSHOLE."
He already left. He
left her without any further explanation but only chatting her saying he
already found someone better than her. If he left, then she should move on. She
is not a crazy woman to beg for him. A high spirited lady like her won't kneel
and plead in front of a jerk someone who hurt her. She's letting out her pain
on her IG story and twitter wall. All she can do was to post an IG story.
Camiah's IG story
"You left me
without rightful reason and just saying you've found someone better than me?
I'll make sure you'll regret what you've done."
"Breaking up thru text message? What a jerk!"
"You'll
regret."
She posts it right
away, then fixes herself saying that she should move on. A jerk like Brandon is
not worth it for her love and care. Camiah stands up, opened her lights, and
went to the bathroom to wash her face.
"You've suffered enough Cami, move on, you'll be
better," she stated with a smile and swollen eyes.
Shawn was viewing IG stories out of boredom when a certain
story captured his attention. He saw the stories of an account with a username
@camiahxoxo.
At some part of
himself wants to comfort her and give some advice, but on the other side, he
thought that it would be creepy if he'll chat her right away.
"Should I or not? Urghh! Man up Shawn! Just do
it!" He didn't bother his question and chat her right away. He just wants
her to feel relief and he was sure that she needs some comfort.
Camiah is eating her
late breakfast at her room when she heard a knock. "Come in!" she
shouted.
"I'm going to
the mall, do you want something sweetie?" her mom asked.
"Strawberries will do. Thanks, mom! Oh! And Nutella!" she said while
smiling so sweetly.
"Drive
safely!" As her doors shut she heard a ting coming from her cellphone as a
signal for a notification.
IG notification
@shawn_thesheep: Hey, are you okay? Camiah was confused and
shocked because for the first time she receives a message from a stranger.
Would she reply or just ignore it?
@shawn_thesheep: Do you need someone to talk to?
@shawn_thesheep: I might be a stranger but I just want to
help. Other notifications pop up and she chooses to reply. She can't be rude,
right? Shawn was staring at his phone while lecturing himself for being an
idiot. "Stupid! Stupid! Why would I say that? She won't reply, right? Did
I sound like a creep?" A loud TING stops him and when he checks his phone.
IG notification
@camiahxoxo: Ah? Do I know you? And yeah I'm fine. Shawn on
the other half also surprised when he received a reply coming from Camiah. His
heart is pumping and hands are trembling due to shock and excitement.
@shawn_thesheep: Well I just happen to see your story and I
think you need some comfort.
@shawn_thesheep: I am ready to help you out even though I am
a stranger. Shawn is in the state of rattling for he doesn't know what to say
next.
@camiahxoxo: Thank you for your concern but I have something
to do right now. Goodbye.
@shawn_thesheep: Okay, if you need someone to talk to I am
available. Just send me a message.
@camiahxoxo: Okay, thank you again.
"I really sound like a creep." He said with a
facepalm.
Camiah was confused, "Uh? He's a kind of creep. Who was
that guy?" She is thinking, did he just randomly chat her or purposely
does that?
"Whatever, I
need to finish this of else director might get mad." Will Shawn going
message Camiah again or not and will vanish like a bubble. Would that simple
concern lead to a new friendship? Maybe this is not really where their story
starts. Shawn seeing the story of Camiah is a coincidence or fate?
Chapter 2: A T T E N T I O N
The past days Camiah was receiving a message coming from
Shawn for once in a while. Shawn will message Camiah then sometimes he will
not. There are times that he will try to get her attention. Sometimes Camiah
will ignore his messages and there are also times that she will reply.
IG notification
@shawn_thesheep: Are you fine now?
@camiahxoxo: yeah, kinda.
@shawn_thesheep: Hope you'll be fully fine!
"Woah? What was that?" Camiah asked herself while
having some dinner with her family.
"Anything wrong Cami?" Her dad asked,
"Nothing dad." She said while shaking her head.
"You sure?" "Yes, dad." She said while
smiling. "Let's just enjoy our
food."
Shawn wants to capture her attention by sending her messages
continuously but he thought she might find him a creep, that's why he decided
to send her a message every other day. He was sitting on his recliner when he
remembers someone. Shawn picks up his phone to message Camiah.
@shawn_thesheep: Hi! Are you fully okay now?
@shawn_thesheep: Are you still down?
Shawn wasn't expecting her reply because he knows that she
might be doubting him.
@camiahxoxo: You are always asking me that every time.
@shawn_thesheep: Oh. Sorry to bother you.
@camiahxoxo: Nah, it's okay, and I'm okay.
@camiahxoxo: Thank you for your concern. I have something to
do.
@shawn_thesheep: Okay, you're welcome. Bye!
Shawn sighed, "I
think she's still aloof."
"Who's
aloof?" Shawn's uncle asked with a questioning look.
"No one uncle. Why are you here?" "I need you
to learn this, a part of your training. Your training will end soon."
"Okay, uncle." He said while getting the pile of
folders.
"I'll get going. Don't forget about the family
dinner." His uncle stated and he just nodded with a smile.
Camiah is typing an urgent document for their magazine at
the moment when a notification pop from her phone, it was a message coming from
her creep stranger IG friend who she still doesn't know what his name was.
IG notification
@shawn_thesheep: Hi there. Are you okay now?
@camiahxoxo: Uh? Yeah, I am? But kinda busy right now I'm
sorry.
She replies and starts again typing for some revisions of
their final draft for the magazine. She checks her phone again when she heard
the notification sound.
@shawn_thesheep: No. Sorry for disturbing you. I just wanna
check if you're okay or not?
@shawn_thesheep: Are you thinking that I am a creep? Uh
please don't. I just really want to help.
Yes, Camiah found him as a creep. Like a mushroom, he will
pop out of nowhere. Camiah chooses to ignore the message and focus on the
document.
Shawn was having his exercise at the gym at the moment.
"Should I introduce?" He asked his friend beside
him and his friend answered, "Oh yeah, what a stupid question man! You
should introduce first. Shawn are you stupid?" Shawn glared at his friend,
then realizes he should do introduce in the first place.
@shawn_thesheep: Oh, by the way. I am Shawn Garcia. I am
sorry for not introducing myself in the first place.
@camiahxoxo: To be honest I found you creep at first but you
seem to be comfortable to chat with. I'm Camiah Mendoza.
@shawn_thesheep: So are we good now?
@camiahxoxo: Yeah. I'll talk to you later if that's okay
because I'm rushing some documents right now.
@shawn_thesheep: Take your time. Later!
"Hey man! Come on! Let's grab some snacks."
Shawn's friend called him. Shawn with a smile on his face got up and also head
outside to eat.
It was lunchtime on Camiah's company and she was having
lunch in her office when she remembers Shawn. She got her phone and opens her
Instagram.
@camiahxoxo: Hey? I'm sorry about a while ago.
@shawn_thesheep: Nah. It's fine. I'm in the gym at that
time.
@camiahxoxo: Gym freak haha. I rarely go to the gym.
"What's with his
username? Shawn the sheep? Like Shaun the sheep I think. Hahaha, that sheep was
clever." She laughed by herself thinking about Shaun the sheep movie.
@camiahxoxo: Your username. I wanna laugh hahaha I'm sorry.
I can't help it. Why Shawn the sheep?
@camiahxoxo: Because of that I remember that movie. It was
funny and entertainment one haha lol.
@shawn_thesheep: Good thing I made you laugh even though my
username is the reason.
@camiahxoxo: Gotta go. Our lunchtime is over. Gonna do some
work again.
@shawn_thesheep: Yeah likewise I need to do some reports
now. Good luck with your work!
@camiahxoxo: Yeah thanks, you too.
"Well, it's not that bad to talk to you after all,"
Camiah said with a smile.
Shawn smiled at his thought, "I think she's getting
comfortable talking with me now."
Shawn and Camiah continued to talk with each other. Though
not every day because they were both busy. Shawn was the first one who will get
the attention of Camiah. They will only talk to each other every lunchtime of
their work, maybe break time or evening. They did become close already, and
both of them are hoping that their closeness will not vanish.
