Hey Roomie (Callie.)

[Cameron Osiris]

Cam missed his old roommate and friend – he hadn’t spoken to Callie in forever. Not on purpose, it was just what seemed to happen after he stopped seeing everyone’s faces. He had tried keeping up with everyone via text, but eventually those stopped too as Cam had to sink further into depression before he could step out of it. Those months away in California weren’t months he wanted to discuss with anyone. He just wanted to move on.

But part of the reason for coming back here was because of the people he loved. Cam wanted to text Callie pretty much as soon as he was back, but there was Chester to be aware of. Did she know anything about that? Well, he knew that she knew that they were best friends, but now, that was hardly true anymore. That thought alone prevented Cameron from making a move. He didn’t want to hurt more people, and he didn’t want to hurt himself because Chester had all but erased him.

But none of that was Callie’s fault, and he had to try.

Callie – I’ve missed you. Please tell me we’re still cool or whatever?

[Calliope Gallo]

Callie was incredibly unaware of what happened to Cam, and truthfully, it hurt her to not know. As far as she could tell, he'd just... Disappeared. It was one of the reasons why she ended up reconnecting with Chester; he'd needed someone to talk to, and evidently, she was the only one there. Their relationship had been slowly rebuilt since then, but she always wondered what happened to her wonderful, wonderful roommate.

The message came as a completely surprise. As Callie stared down at her phone, she genuinely wondered if she was reading that name right. All this time and she hadn't deleted his number from her phone. Nor had she deleted him from her life.

[Cam: I missed you]

The corner of her mouth twitched into a smile, because it was true. And it was important to know that he actually missed her.

[Cam: You know we are]

[Cameron Osiris]

Cam was happy that Callie replied.

Okay good. Cuz I'm tired of being punched in the face.

Cam ran a hand over his face, glad that his face was healing. It was his money maker, and he wanted to keep it that way.

But I miss you more. Can we go out soon?

[Calliope Gallo]

Callie's eyebrows raised instinctively when she read about him being punched in the face. Was that actually literal?

[Cam: What happened?]

Then again, she wasn't sure he'd be willing to tell her. There was always something of a disconnect between them.

[Cam: Yeah, we can! Where're you living? Are you back?]

[Cameron Osiris]

Cam wasn't really the best at having heart to heart conversations, so it was a good thing that Callie wasn't shy in getting to the bottom of things. Honestly, she had always been there for him, even when he was being a drama queen. It was definitely an asset of hers.

[Callie: I guess Oriel found out I was back and he decided to take his problems out on my face.]

He wasn't gonna say how he acted like a total pussy, but Oriel was probably going to announce that fact to the whole school anyways so there was no point in repeating it. Cam was trying to make things right with his friends, and being honest seemed like a good place to start.

[Callie: Totes back at Ham - just in a new dorm. Wanna meet up somewhere? I can treat ya to something nice ]

Cam would always be Cam, flirting and all. He smiled at his phone and felt relief. At least his bruised eye was almost healed up and Callie wouldn't be too worried.

[Calliope Gallo]

Oriel. Really, Callie knew who he was, but she'd only met him recently. And those few altercations hadn't been the best. She doubted Cam would be receptive to the fact that the very same guy had made her cry and said a few belittling things to her.

[Cam: Are you okay?]

Anyone who beat up someone she cared for - regardless of their reason - wasn't okay in the eyes of Calliope Gallo.

[Cam: I'm in my dorm now. You can visit if you want. Do you remember the way? :P]

[Cameron Osiris]

[Callie: That's the silliest thing I've ever heard I'm on my way.]

She would laugh when she found out that he had tried going there at first to unpack, but remembered he needed a new room now. Also, Cam had snuck into his new room at an ungodly hour in the morning, like he was breaking and entering.

Man they had a lot to catch up on.
