Protect Me

Chapter 6

Cameron's POV

It's such a nice night I thought. I had my car window as I was driving down the highway. The breeze felt great against my face and as I inhaled the California air. I looked over at Kim to see her sleeping peacefully curled up in her seat. The moonlight gleamed on her bruised eye. It really bothered me to see such a gorgeous girl like her with a bruise on her eye. I know the story she told about it was a lie. I could tell by her facial expression. I turned back to the highway and thought about who could've done that to her.

Maybe she got into a fight with someone. A girl?

No it looks too big for that. The thought of a guy putting a hand on her made me angry. I felt so protective of her even though I just met her. I pulled out a pack of Camels and a lighter from the glove compartment and took a cigarette out. I don't smoke regularly but it calms me down when I'm mad. Balancing the wheel with my knee, I lit the cigarette and inhaled. It instantly calmed me down as I blew out a cloud of smoke into the night sky. I got off the highway and drove down the street to my house. I pulled into my driveway and parked. I just sat while smoking my cigarette and watched as the sunset came up above my house. It was so peaceful. I ashed the cig and threw it out the window. I got out the car and went to Kim's side. She was still asleep so I decided to carry her bridal style out the car and into my house. The wood creaked under my feet as I headed towards the stairs.

"Cam is that you!"

I inwardly cursed in my head.

Who the fuck is up so early? I thought.

Jack G came out the kitchen with a banana and a beer in his hand. I chuckled to myself at his meal.

"CAM THE MAN!" Jack G yelled.

Jack G was one of my best friends. He was 17 (I know he isn't actually 17), two years younger then me. Our group was Jack G, Jack J, Nash, Hayes, Aaron, Shawn and Matt. We were all in Magcon. Apparently two other guys were joining but I don't know who they are yet.

"Shhhhh! She's sleeping!" I whispered.

Jack looked at me with a confused look on his face and then down to Kim in my arms. A smirk creeped on his face.

Before he could say anything I said, "I'm gonna put her in my room I'll be back."

I walked up the stairs and down the hall to my room. Kicking the door open I walked to my king bed and set her down gently on it. She immediately curled up into a ball and I placed a fluffy blanket on top of her. I decided to change. I threw off my shirt and slipped off my pants. I changed into sweats and decided to go out shirtless. I took one last look at her before heading downstairs. Jack was on the couch sipping his beer and on his phone. He looked up and smiled.

"So who's the girl?" He smirked.

"Kim. I met her yesterday on my flight." I smiled thinking about it.

"So what line did you use to get her here? Hey babe I'm Cameron Allas don't worry you'll get the D later." He mocked laughing.

I threw a couch pillow at him.

"Shutup I didn't use any line actually. I met her on the flight and we talked. Then I saw her again when I was leaving the airport and some sketchy dude was talking to her so I saved her. I kinda of punched him and he chased us with a knife. Then we came here."

I looked at Jack and he looked shocked.

"Wow you punched him? I guess someone's becoming a softy huh?"

I clenched my jaw having the urge to punch Jack. I got up and walked over to the kitchen.

"No ones becoming a fucking softy. I just helped her from some creep. She's leaving today." I said coldly.

I grabbed a Corona from the fridge and walked back towards the living room.

"Alright man." Jack putting his hands up as if he was surrendering.

I opened the Corona and took gulped half of it down.

"Wait why are you up so early Jack?"

"Well I had a long night." He sighed.

I looked at him waiting for him to go on.

"I was out last night at this party doing the usual if you know what I mean." He smirked. "After I was done with this chick in the bathroom and I walk out bumping into someone and guess who the fuck I see. Raphael." He disgust.

I was so shocked and furious I dropped my beer and it shattered everywhere.
