We all left the hospital late at night, after much examination and delay from the doctors and nurses. All through our stay there, I couldn't get the worry of my chest. The worry of a boy getting harmed while in my care. Cameron drove back to the mansion, the car ride silent all through. We proceeded into the mansion, and found the figure of Mrs Williams pacing around the living room. Her head snapped towards the door at our entrance, eyes widening at the sight of a bandaged David. She hurried over to meet him at once, while the boy gave weak groans, the instant she touched his body."David" She gasped, mouth hung open, eyes staring on at him. "What the hell happened to him?" She demanded at once, turning to look at me, with her eyes fixed on my figure, while I bent my head low. "That was a question, Nia. Therefore, I expect an answer" Their gazes all turned to me, with everyone present there. All except Mr Williams. Ashley soon ran over to hold David just as he struggled to s
My gaze rested on the figure emerging out the car which had pulled up beside me. Cameron.Why was he out here? It was really late. He began moving towards me, and without saying a word, he pulled me into the car, while i just stared on at him, looking confused, while he got into driver's seat, and then started its engine.My eyes lingered on him while he drove. He was driving down to my house. For whatever reason?"Um... Thanks" I said quietly, unsure of what to say. The silence in the car ate me up. Eyes focused on the road while as he sped on, not for once even turning to glance at me.He soon pulled up to my apartment a few minutes later, stepping out of the car at once, while I did the same, watching him. Slowly, he came around over to me, moving towards my figure, while i backed the car at every step he took. His eyes remained in mine, gaze not letting go. I saw his hands moving to my side, and at once low pants escaped my lips, I watched his hands draw closer, and suddenl
Cameron's POV..."Cameron!" I heard mom call from downstairs, getting my figure off the bed at once, with low grunts escaping my lips. Now, what exactly was I needed for?It was 12 noon, at least I should be given the chance to sleep in, whenever I pleased to.I got downstairs soon enough, and there in the living room, was mom, talking to one of the maids. They both turned to me the instant I walked in, gazes lingering on my figure, while I gave a low yawn, moving towards the couch. "Cameron, I need you to watch over David, while I go to the office" Mom spoke."Why do I have to watch him?" "Cause it's your fault he's in that situation" She stated.I had no explanation as to why I covered up for Nia, but I just did, knowing fully well that if I hadn't, mom would have fired her, and part of me didn't want that. I couldn't let that happen. "Make sure he eats his lunch, and takes his medications" She said aloud. "Since when did I become a doctor?" I uttered at once. She turned to
I found a crowd packed right in front of her house, as I pulled up. Murmurs coming from the people around, while they went on about something I couldn't understand. Their eyes lingered on my figure the whole time, as I got down from my car, proceeding towards Nia's house. Just about going in, a man stopped me, his form blocking my entry.Taking a look at the man, I took notice of all that came with him. Hair grey, beard long and white, with teeth crooked, his features got me staring on. He reached his hands out to touch my arms, and at once, he spoke, hands shaking in the process. I steadied him up as he almost lost his balance, while he shook his head slowly, looking up at me. "Young man" He began in a croaky voice"who are you?" He questioned."Cameron" I responded almost immediately, with my eyes fixed intently on him."Cameron" He repeated, pronouncing it like there was something interesting to the name."And who are you here to see, if I may ask?""Uh....Someone" I uttered t
Nia's POV...We got to central city hospital after about half an hour. He pulled up at the parking lot shortly afterwards, as we both exited the car. His figured remained behind mine while we proceeded into the hospital. I was scared to go in, scared of what the doctors might say, scared of the news they might drop. And right at that moment, I stood frozen to the spot, my feet turning numb as my eyes rested on the figures of some doctors moving around. It was certain that I wasn't in anyway prepared for whatever they were going to tell me. Soon enough, I felt a pair of hands resting on my shoulders, touching me gently.Turning around, I found Cameron looking at me, his blue eyes staring on at me."Are you okay?" I heard him mutter in a very low voice. "Yes" I said to him.Swallowing hard, I braced myself, turning around, as began moving towards whatever was waiting for me. ***Cameron stayed by my side the whole time, while the doctor talked to me. "Nia, your mom is in a very
Cameron's POV...It was finally the day of my graduation, and just between you and I, I wasn't happy. I was scared. College now lied in wait for me, and much more than anything, I was scared to begin a new life without having my family at my side. It was easier for Jordan to go to college, but it seems to be so hard for me. I had already gotten accepted into the college of my choice, and my parents were more than happy for that. Most especially mum. My eyes searched through the crowd for just one person. Nia. Since the day we left the hospital, we still hadn't gotten to speak or see each other. At this moment, I had come to accept the fact, that my heart sure longed for her. Could Ashley be right then? Do I really have feelings for her? The whole graduating class was sat here in the large hall of Greenville high, alongside parents and guests. My eyes flickered to the figures of mom and dad at the other end of the hall, both conversing with each other, and the instant they t
Nia's POV..."Nia, could you please set the decorations up?" Ashley uttered to me, as I stood at a corner mopping the floor."Sure" I responded, pushing the mop bucket away, then going over to grab the decorations. It was Cameron's graduation, and in a bid of congratulating him, the family decided to throw a surprise party in celebration of his exit from high schoolI heard Voices from outside drawing closer, and soon enough the door to the living room tore open, and In walked a man, a lady and a girl.They all looked at my figure, while I remained standing on the stool, with decorations drowning me, and just then I heard Ashley's voice. "Uncle!" She squealed, hurrying over to hug the man. "Oh my! You've grown so big" The lady uttered to Ashley, while wrapping her in a hug.Ashley flashed a smile at the lady, and soon enough she turned to the man. "How's England, Uncle Peter?" She asked. "England's great" Followed his response."Where's your mother and Father?" "They haven't ret
Cameron's POV...I sat on my bed the minute I got to my room, letting out a low breath I never knew I was holding.Getting away from the crowd was just what I needed. There was a light knock on the door, which made me snap my head up, wondering whoever that could be, now that I had decided to come have a moment to myself.I prayed the person would leave, but then, the door pushed open slowly, a figure proceeding in. A feeling of warmth rushed inside of me the second, my eyes took in her profile. "Hey" She spoke quietly, a weak smile playing on her lips.Hands resting on her thighs, her gaze remained fixed on me."Why aren't you downstairs celebrating with everyone? The party is for you" She said to me at once."It's just not my thing" Followed my response "Come have a seat" I offered immediately, pointing at the bed. I noticed her being hesitant, her gaze averting away from mine."Uh..." She began, voice low.I got up at once, advancing towards her figure, while she fiddled with
