Fallen Star (BOTDF Adopted Me?)

Someone New??

The next few weeks were very hectic... I had to lie through my teeth to Cam's "mother" and "father" so I could keep him around longer... I was saying that I had a friend who has a daughter and they're really good play-mates, so for about a week or two, all four of us were going on a trip for about a week or two... I FINALLY got them to agree, as long as I called them to tell them about everything that was going on... So basically, I had to steer-clear of them whenever Cam and I were out, and I constantly had to make sure NO ONE but Cam or myself answered the phone... I also needed to come up with some excuses to why I had to get off the phone so quickly... But it's all worth it for my son, i'll do anything and everything to protect and keep him happy...

I was out shopping for Cam, my dads, and I one Monday afternoon... I quickly went through the store, grabbing everything I needed to get before quickly running to the check-out section... Only to run into someone, knocking both of us down. I quickly jumped up and started apologizing as I picked up my things. But the thing is, I only heard him chuckle as he helped me with my stuff. I quickly put everything back together and started to thank him, but when I looked up, a small blush immediately spread across my cheeks. He looked to be about 18, and he had long black hair with green-ish blue eyes. He smiled and gently patted my shoulder.
"You OK cutie?" He asked in a smooth, deep voice.. Kinda like Andy's, but a little higher in pitch.
This caused my blush to grow deeper and I quickly nodded to him. "Y-Yeah... Thank you." I said quickly as I started to go to the check-out.
"You look familiar... You're in that band.. The Unspoken, right?" He asked as he followed me.
I quickly nodded and tried to ignore the adorable man looking over my shoulder.
"Oh wow. I love you band, it's really amazing."
"Th-Thanks... It means a lot.."
He smiled and nudged my shoulder. "How's your son? I heard you finally got him back."
I smiled and nodded again. "He's doing well... I'm happy to have him back in my life." I replied as I picked up my bags.
"Hey... Not pressuring you or anything... But you should text me sometime.. Like... Could we be friends?" He asked as he handed me a piece of paper with a number on it.
I bit my lip but reached out and took the paper, just to be kind... With that, we said our good-byes and I left the store then quickly returned home.
Wow... I wouldn't mind being a friend of his and all... But with my luck, if things were to get serious... What if he turns out to be just like Cody...? What if he's worse....? I sighed and mentally slapped myself as I pulled into the drive-way. I'm worrying to much... AND I just met the guy, why am I thinking about relationships now???
-2 weeks later-

I was laying on the couch with Cam asleep in my arms and my head laying on Ryan's, the guy I ran into at the store, lap. Ever since that day, him and I really hit it off... It started off with a few phone calls and texts messages, one thing lead to another, now we're dating, the best part of it is that my dads AND Cam really likes him... I mean, they really REALLY like him, and Ryan feels the same way toward all of them.
But, while it all seemed to go to be true, I'm still afraid... I don't want to fall so deep in love that I end up getting hurt like last time... Or even worse, him hurting my family... But, he keeps reassuring me that he loves me and he'll do anything to protect my family and I, I just hope he truly means it...
I yawned a little and started to stand, but Ryan held my down. I blinked once then looked up into his beautiful green eyes.
"Do you want me to take Cam up to his room?" He asked, holding his arms out.
I smiled and stood up again with Cam in my arms. "Na, I'll get him."
He pouted then nodded. I giggled then made my way upstairs to Cam's room. I gently laid him down and tucked him in then kissed his forehead, he stirred a little then turned on his side. I smiled then stood up and watched him for a while before feeling two arms wrap around my waist and a head fall into the crook of my neck.
"He looks so peaceful... And I see that his cuts and bruises have finally disappeared." Ryan whispered in my ear.
I nodded and held onto his hands. He slowly let go of me and sat down next to Cam. I smiled softly as he started stroking Cam's hair.
"When are you going to go to court? To get Camden's rights given back to you?"
I thought then sighed as I shrugged my shoulders.
"I'm going to try and go tomorrow, but I don't really know... The mom and dad never sighed the papers... But, since I sent in pictures to the CPS, they'll HAVE to sign his rights over to me."
He smiled and stood up then he walked over and kissed my cheek.
"I'm glad you'll finally have your son back, love... I'll come over tomorrow and we'll go to the courthouse together, OK?" He smiled.
I nodded and watched him walk out of the room.
"I love you." He said as he was closing the door.
"I love you too." I replied just as the door closed.
I let out a soft sigh and laid down with Cam, tomorrow we're going to court and i'm getting my son back... He'll finally be mine again, and i'll never let him go.
