Why this must be read: As a show, BTR generally has to center around the boys' hijinks, but every girl who appears is great (hilarious, well acted, dynamically written). That includes bit characters like Mercedes, who only appears in two episodes but made a pretty big impression on the fandom. Luckily, fic writers don't have to stay within the constraints of the show, so plenty of writers explore the girls. This piece about Camille is lovely and sad, without ever going over the top. It's also sexy and even though it's short, it's full of the kind of longing that makes you ache even after you've finished.
Camille frowned as she took a long drink from the cup in her hand. The boys had managed to throw another amazing party, this time with copious amounts of alcohol. Carlos had tried to explain how they had tricked Bitters into locking himself in his own office with handcuffs but she had stopped listening after that; the last thing she wanted to think about was why Bitters had handcuffs in his office, or how the boys had figured that out.
She sighed and took another long drink from her plastic cup, realizing she had finished it already and refilling it from the keg she was standing next to.
All her friends had paired off, leaving her to watch the party from the kitchen. James and Logan had disappeared up to their room a while ago and she knew they wouldn't be seen again for a while; Carlos was determined to entertain the Jennifers all night – and with alcohol in their systems they were actually letting him. Kendall and Jo were cozying up on a bean bag chair in the corner. That's where her gaze kept falling.
Every smile, every kiss, every whispered word between them was like a knife in her heart. Watching Jo fall in love with someone else was the most painful thing she'd ever experienced, and it explained why she was pretty sure she had finished half the keg by herself.
