Cameron's POV

"Here's your shit." I drop a bag of things I stole in front of my mother, and then decide to get out of the apartment. That's what I do after talking to my parents, and since it's New York City, they'll never find me.

I walk a little down the street before it starts to rain. I contemplate going back for an umbrella, but decide it'll make me look reliant if I return to the apartment. Very soon it starts to pour and so I duck under a store's awning. I wait a few seconds, before a large van comes rolling down the streets, and two people will masks jump out. My heart drops as they snatch my arms. I grab their heads and thrust them against the car, making them release my grip. I'm about to run away when I hear, "Cameron, relax it's just us." 

"Hell of a way to get me to talk to you."

"Well...last time you ran away, remember? Just get in the damn car, Cameron."

I climb in slowly. "So what do you want ?"

"Everything. I want a status update. Are you toying with her?"

"Yes." I say. I get ansy. "When am I gonna get what I want?"

"Ah yes... your ride out, and your ticket in?"

"Yeah whatever."

"You first need to turn 18 and leave your parents."

"They aren't my parents." I say. "I don't have any parents."

"Sure you did." He says. "Remember, I promised them I'd take care of you."

"Why do you want me to toy with this girl anyway?" I ask, changing the topic.

"Revenge. Remember what these people did to your parents?"

"Yeah, but if they did it, then why am I messing with the girl?" I ask.

"You think your can take her parents? Well let me tell you this, I won't come to your funeral. Anyway, she's the weaklink. These people made one mistake: having a child, because now they have someone they are willing to die for."
