"Hero..." Camden said, his voice shaking from where he stood at the bottom of the stairs, me simply a few feet from him.
As my name left his lips Tashone walked over beside him.
"Oh, hey Hero... whats wrong, you look like you've seen a ghost.... Don't worry about Camden, he'll be much better off with me." Tashone chuckled.
Camden shot her a glare with his eyes then stepped closer to me. Up each stair.
I could tell he was talking but, the words blended together.
My chest hurts, I feel like I can't breath. My heart is so loud I could count the beats.
The world began to spin before my eyes, displaying rainbow patterns before my eyes, the few blocky pixels I could see moved in what seemed like slow motion. My hands and feet felt tingley while a sharp metallic taste ripped through my mouth.
Bump.... One.... Bump.... Two.... Bump............ Three....
-BLACK-
"Hero? Honey, can you hear me?" A voice called to me.
A light flickered over my eyes bring me back to the land of the living.
With a hoarse groan I slowly pulled my eyes open to meet my mother's gaze. As I looked around the room with squinted eyes I realized I must have passed out or something because I was now in a hospital. Most importantly, the hospital my mother was head doctor at.
"Hey, how do you feel?" She asked softly, brushing a few stray hairs from my hot forehead.
I tried to speak but my throat was so dry the only sounds that came out were unintelligible. I wonder where Camden is, and Tashone. I wonder if she told anyone. The thoughts running through my head concerned me enough for me to grit my teeth slightly, not enough for my mother to notice.
"It's ok, here, have some water." she said handing me a small white cup from the little table next to my partially reclined bed.
I took a slip and cleared my throat. It felt good as it ran down, rehydrating my mouth.
Just when my mother began to speak.
"Camden told me what happened." She said sitting down on the side of my bed.
Instantly I began to choke on my little cup of water. Wides eyed I looked at her to see if Cam lied or legit told her what happened.
Thank God, he must have lied. She wasn't concerned, mostly confused by my reaction but, I'll take what I can get.
After a while of her talking to me about my "low blood sugar levels" and stress being to reason I passed out.
"So, apparently, after you are sick you're supposed to EAT FOOD. I guess I was a little..... busy, at the moment." I laughed.
My mother said nothing. Simply started.
Did I, say something wrong?

"Your.....your...stutter is gone Hero!" She cried jumping out and hugging me hard.
Oh shit, how did I forget about that!?
"Say something else!!" She begged half climbed on-top of my bed.
"Something else!" I giggled with a childish smile.
"Oh! You little brat! More than that!!!" She said laughing and rubbing my head hard.
That's when a nurse interrupted.
"Doctor Magita, the patient in room 602 is flipping his shit again. Could you please, come help us out." The young blonde said annoyed as all got out.
"Hahahahaha, what did he do this time, Cara?" My mom laughed jumping from my bed and walking over the the nurse.
"Well, first off I was trying to give him his meds and he took them, till he turned around and spit them on my shoe because he said they tasted bad." She said with an apparent rage in her voice as she pointed down to her designer tennis shoes that had a generous amount of saliva and crushed pills on them.
"Don't even get me started about the way the bathroom in there looks." She continued.
"Ok ok, let's go. I'll see you later, honey. Call for me if you need anything!" She said walking out the door with the blonde.
Phew....
I don't know what I would have done if Camden didn't lie to her about what happened. I would be so extremely fucked, well I guess I'm still sort of fucked anyway.
As my thoughts ran on about how fucked I would be...and am, the image of what I saw started to replay in my head.
She touched him. I haven't even touched him like that. I wonder what he....... Let's not think about that.
No,no,no,no,no,no,no. Not gonna happen.
Just as I cleared away all the dirty thoughts from my head in ran the devil himself.
"Camden?!" I yelped completely caught off guard by his train wreck on an entrance.
Instead of speaking a single word all he did was press his panting lips to mine.
Good Lord Almighty..... I'm in heaven, WAAAIIITTTTT.
Where the Hell did he run from his lips are hotter than a fucking open flame!
He pulled away and I could see his eyes hinting a glassy coating. My from the running? Or, was he worried?
"Please..*pant*.... I'm sorry.....*pant*.." he said through his hard breathes.
"W-what are sorry for..." I....stuttered.
I was shocked at my own voice.
No! This isn't happening!
Camden looked at my lips and back to my eyes, "Don't think about what happened, just focus on me *pant*, right here right now."
"Ok." I said slowly.
Camden's heart was racing but for my sake he tried his best to calm his breathing.
"Now, are you alright?" His voice sounded husky and rigged.
"I think so.... ask me something." I said wanting to insure that I wouldn't stutter again.
Camden smiled and asked breathily," hey Hero, will you go out with me?"
Of course I wasn't expecting that to be the question... But for some reason, dancer couldn't come out of my mouth fast enough.
"Of course I will, you big idiot" I smiled leaning forward, kissing his breathless lips...
