“Wait, wait, wait, no!” I panicked, reaching for his arm, which he yanked away,copyright protection167PENANAQYGZtc5ffw
“Don’t fucking touch me,”copyright protection167PENANA1GJR9k5KJO
“Cameron!” I called out, as his hand touched the doorknob.copyright protection167PENANAJiuprwseRU
“What?” When he turned around, I put the gun to my head, allowing an unreadable expression to play on his face, “Why the fuck should I care? I’ll be dead before you pull the trigger.”copyright protection167PENANAF3KGplyKJO
“Oh, but will you?”copyright protection167PENANA8f9OV8L3qP
“Fuck- Ami, don’t!” His lips quivered, tears slipping down faster than they had,copyright protection167PENANAhGgJDwb6ON
“Then put it down. Now.”copyright protection167PENANADsaQJU5nAo
“Why? Why should I? Hell, why are you so… Why do you care? I killed Fraco, His dog, Tarea, His mom, Rebecca. I don’t deserve to live anymore. I’m a damned monster.”copyright protection167PENANAOPHp9KZ1rT
“Cameron, please. I can’t handle any more deaths. All five of them are dead. Heck, at the moment, Tyler could be dead too. Don’t do this to me!” I sobbed,copyright protection167PENANARkAUgpDP7D
“I can’t do this anymore, Ami. It’s so damn difficult. They’re always lurking around, and if I don’t see them, the voices remind me. I can’t live with this shit!” He began to shake, copyright protection167PENANA9BPtN6WS1W
“V-Voices….?”copyright protection167PENANABzMo9pTSML
“Yes, voices! They’re always lurking around, clouding my brain, and telling me to do twisted things!”copyright protection167PENANA5iQB3OTqdM
“Like what?”copyright protection167PENANAc6YyAl7DHD
“Like this, dammit!”copyright protection167PENANAvfg1KRamHs
“Why are you listening to them… if you know that it’s not the right thing to do?”copyright protection167PENANAAuvJCxSYjD
“Because….” His face went blank for a second, before he snapped back with a frown, “They’re hard to resist… and in a way… they’re right.”copyright protection167PENANAe9GdC2GAnE
“No. They aren’t right. I’m not gonna sugar coat it, you’re a real shitty person, but… I don’t think you deserve to die.”copyright protection167PENANAP1O6qdoUFx
“That’s a load of bullshit.” Cameron scoffed, his finger shaking, barely hovering over the trigger,copyright protection167PENANAvvJzEKW6fQ
“I mean it, Cameron… Please!” I begged,copyright protection167PENANARGhx8yid03
“I’m sorry, Ami, but I can’t…”copyright protection167PENANAUdUhZrHXF6
“Yes, you can! I can help you!”copyright protection167PENANAF5tYWiYeYp
“How? How can you possibly fix my horrid mind?”copyright protection167PENANAsGwC3ASktv
“They have medication for this kind of stuff.”copyright protection167PENANAOCbgXKIUw0
“I’ve been on medication for mental health shit, and I hate it. It makes me feel like such a freak!”copyright protection167PENANANeUtPC35y1
“You aren’t a freak, your brain just works a little different than the rest of ours do, and that means you just need a bit of help.”copyright protection167PENANA4zN36SOc9G
“Don’t lie to me…”copyright protection167PENANA1lLsR93JeR
“Why would I lie?”copyright protection167PENANAQCmJZC0dKq
“Because…” His features calmed, “Because… Because… I… I don’t… know. I don’t know!” He dropped the gun, and I copied him, before walking over to him, and giving him a hug, as he sobbed,copyright protection167PENANAQKfO0Gznf7
“It’s okay, Cameron, it’s okay…”copyright protection167PENANAPUXnnqOZcD
“Th-Thank you… I’m sorry for… for acting up…”copyright protection167PENANALzDbf0WmP2
“It’s okay, we all have our moments…”copyright protection167PENANAYU83CSRRol
“Do we?”copyright protection167PENANA9HbVlpD09l
“Yeah, we do…”copyright protection167PENANAiPmBJbUcZ4
“When… When did you want to give up?”copyright protection167PENANA67AnrLODuN
“I’ve wanted to give up so many damn times… When my parents kicked me up, all my birthdays after that, when Tarea died, when Rebecca died… But I kept going, because… because I know that I can make it, and that one day, my parents will come back to me. That one day… I will be able to see Rebecca, and Tarea again, and tell them about all the amazing things I was able to do.” I sighed,copyright protection167PENANAmYKMhZNmzx
“What… What can you even accomplish? Not in a bad way but… You barely hear about successful runaways.”copyright protection167PENANADYxOx94FuT
“Well, I mean, in two years, when I’m eighteen-”copyright protection167PENANArciV1mm1QP
“Wait, wait, wait… You’re sixteen?”copyright protection167PENANA2P1OgvIIIp
“Yeah, I am.”copyright protection167PENANAvAuqYg1reK
“When did you get kicked out?”copyright protection167PENANA3ItFvZVu1t
“My twelfth birthday.” I smiled sadly,copyright protection167PENANAQaBwtAElvW
“Oh…” Cameron muttered, looking away,copyright protection167PENANALAEBPqNo38
“Yeah, it’s… depressing, but oh well.” I shrugged, “I’m working on moving on from it…”copyright protection167PENANA9Sh9fEKD9d
“How could you move on? I mean… My dad abused me, and… I can’t help but hate him with all I’ve got in me. If I don’t feel resentment… I’m depressed as hell.”copyright protection167PENANAGSrpOkTWWn
“It’s just gonna take time.” I reassured, copyright protection167PENANAge7Z5DRKL5
“Yeah, I know…” copyright protection167PENANAyFZTfQqu18
After Cameron and I talked it out for a while, he went straight to the mattresses, and passed out. Preston was visibly upset now, and Rae? She was nowhere to be found, which is kinda scary now that I know the things I know… copyright protection167PENANAHttxKZfZoa
“Where did Rae go?” I decided to ask first,copyright protection167PENANAdio8wgzh0u
“She went out to find Tyler.”copyright protection167PENANAiWRMWLsLMc
“Oh.” I whispered, feeling the need to pray for him and his safety, although I didn’t really believe in any specific gods, “Are you doing okay?”copyright protection167PENANANAQEWswP3p
“Yeah, I’m fine. Just worried as hell, but it’s whatever. I need to chill out.”copyright protection167PENANA3G3A8N81CN
“It’s not whatever. You have the right to be worried.”copyright protection167PENANA6TDw13UWfX
“No, I don’t. At least not when I was the one who started this all.”copyright protection167PENANA2Y2wXpEqdY
“Yeah, but you weren’t thinking rationall-”copyright protection167PENANANSWy9lPXLG
“I still knew that I shouldn’t do that, especially since Tyler will do just about anything I ask him too.” Preston sobbed,copyright protection167PENANAvYCtlH4DwY
“I don’t think he’ll do it this time. Try and get some sleep, okay? Maybe you’ll feel better in the morning.”copyright protection167PENANAhyplz8hmB0
“Yeah, maybe.” Preston laid back, quickly falling asleep, leaving me alone to listen to memories replay through my head.copyright protection167PENANAHClUUtc16c
