Journal Entry - Wildfire (ch.2)
I have never in my life met anyone quite like Camille Henderson. I made a complete ass out of myself when I first met her because I had no idea who she was but still - she was ravishing - and she didn't seem to care that I was out of the loop with new artists in the industry. The entire night her name was on everyone's lips and from those first few seconds I haven't been able to get her out of my mind. She doesn't drink which is something different than what I'm used to with the opposite sex but I like that about her. I dig her innocence and in a way I want to be there to make sure that it never goes away. Listen to me...I'm talking about this girl like we're going to be together for the rest of our lives and I don't even have her phone number. I told Nelly that I would have my people get into contact with hers but I can't do that. I'm not trying to scare her off but at the same time I'm dying to see her again. Its like she's put a spell over me that I can't break free of...I'm not trying to break free of it...The funny thing is that this woman had the audacity to call me out about my trucker hat, the one that all of the ladies love on me, and then disappear with the thing. Maybe that was her way of telling me that she was interested too? Maybe this is all just wishful thinking. God, did I actually call my mother and tell her that I just met my wife?

She called me! Can you believe that shit? Camille Henderson actually called me on my cell phone while I was on the road! Damn, I must sound like some obsessed fan here, huh? I don't give a shit because the woman called me! The day was going pretty damn shitty because I had just come from the doctor and that asshole told me that I'm going to have to take a break from singing for a few weeks because I guess somehow I strained my voice. Anyway, I'm on my way to Arby's when she calls me out of the blue asking me where she should send the hat that she stole from me. To make a long story short I got directions to where she was having this photo shoot for one magazine or another and surprised her. She was trying to act like she was upset that I had just shown up like that but then she was babying me because of the sore throat thing. I'm not used to a woman trying to take care of me outside of my mother but it felt safe with her, you know? I can't wait to see where this goes.

I had a long talk with mom about this thing going on between Camille and I. She doesn't understand why the two of us aren't together yet and sometimes neither do I. We both know that she's with someone else and that can be a difficult situation so I'm just going to hang back and be her friend, you know? I love to just spend time with her because she is so witty and funny and...she's just everything that a person should be but better. I want to go out and take her places but because of all of this media attention that she's getting right now and the problems she's having with this David cat its hard to do anything without suspicious glances. Still, something inside of me is telling me that all of these feelings floating around aren't one sided. We were laughing and talking the other day at my house and then all the sudden it just stopped. We were staring at each other and it seemed to just go on for hours. I would have kissed her but I don't want to be the cause of any more of the issues with her and her boyfriend. He doesn't appreciate what she is.

I hadn't heard from Camille in days and I was getting so worried because she wouldn't answer the phone and no one had heard from her then I get this call from Nastassia J. (yeah, her and Camille are best friends I guess) and she tells me that she and David broke up. At first I was all excited about it because this was my chance, you know, but then I got even more concerned because she had been M.I.A. for so long. She didn't strike me as the type of persons to commit suicide or anything but I was still scared. I've never felt that way before and so I just jumped in my car, no questions asked, and sped over to her house. I almost got pulled over like eight times but none of that mattered as long as I got to her. I had to be sure that she was okay.
I knocked on that fucking door for five minutes straight until I finally heard her moving around toward the door. When she finally opened it I thought that I was going to be sick. This was not the girl that I had been falling for since Nick and Jessica's big bash so many months before. She looked so homely and broken and all I could do was reach out to her and hold her in my arms. I knew that whatever she had with David was big because Nastassia told me that she had never done a long-term relationship until him. I just didn't know that he meant so much. As I was holding her I was asking myself why I was there. Was there a reason that God had told me to come here and be sure that she was alright. She wasn't eating and that was obvious from her appearance. Camille is already a skinny girl so it just wasn't right. I just picked her up, grabbed her keys, and told her that she was coming with me. Suddenly I'm back to that first night we met where I wanted to protect her innocence. I feel like I've failed at my job.
Right now she's fast asleep in the guest room. God only knows what she's dreaming about in there. I've went in to check on her several times just to be sure that she was alright. I don't think she's moved from the position that I left her in for about an hour. As broken as she is she looks like an angel in her sleep. Her long eyelashes just seem to kiss her cheekbones and her hair perfectly frames her round face...I have to be with this girl.
