Fleeing

I forgot to turn my phone off until the fight attended heard my phone vibrate bringing me back to earth.. fuck cookie can track this.. I turned it off and tucked it into the seat pocket. Out of sight out of mind... I held little cassie close to my aching body. As the plane shook.. 5 and a half hours with a newborn and all by myself. Hell was it even safe to put her on this flight? A million things flooded threw head.. the flight was hell Cas was so uncomfortable she was screaming the entire time. The pressure for this poor baby. And I couldn't do anything. When we landed I was in such a panic to calm her down I completely forgot my phone in the seat pocket. I looked a mess... I got to the arrival gates and thankfully saw the two most angelic faces I needed.. I completely broke down before maxie and Anwar caught me.. I hadn't seem them since before tonys accident.. when I was sent home..
Anwar caught and Maxie held onto the stroller..
"Jesus love you look like hell!". Max held me as Anwar grabbed cass.
"I need rest. Max".. I really just needed james cook.. they took me to there apartment and had an entire room ready..
"Your safe here, baby cass is right next to ya". Max tucked me In and Anwar checked the windows making sure everything was locked.
"What the helll happened Cameron?". I made sure cass was safe and nodded for us to go to the living room. I told them everything. From the moment I sold the fucking bag to the moment cook made a deal with a fucking mob boss. Effy showing up at just the priciest moment...
"Shes running from some fucking tax fraud so cook thought. Hey, let's bring her here into the shit show I tried to get us both to leave!". I was so catatonic Maxie just held me and and kissed the top of my head rocking me.
"I love you but you smell like shit babes. Let's get you a warm shower yeah". I sat up and wiped my face smirking and nodded. I could hear Anwar arguing on the phone with someone couldn't be cook.. but I know since I landed there are feelers here too..
"Here". Max left his phone and speaker playing the old Playlist we would listen to with Tony.. while he was healing.. effy never helped. I hated leaving Tony..
"Low enough, if you get nervous I'm right next door with baby cass. Anwar is outside nothing to do with you still trying to marry him off". He smiled and left me as I couldn't feel comfortable... but max was right I stunk... I took a shower. When I got out I heard mumbling.. I don't know why but I am still on edge.. I got dressed and snuck toward the door till I heard him.
"Tony!". I ran out the bedroom and hugged him tight. He picked me up and spun me around.
"There she is! And I have a niece I see?". I furrowed his brows at me and I grabbed cass carefully.
"Shes fussy. She feels my energy". Tony smiled and took her from me.
"Shes fucking beautiful, now you gonna tell me what your running from?". I grew annoyed and looked out the window.
"Your sister and her father. Fucking deals I didn't know about. It's a fucking long story we can get into later can we all agree not to tell effy or cook where I am?". Everyone but Tony nodded.
"You fuck! You didn't!". I grabbed cass from him and rushed to pack my stuff.
"Calm down! Effs promised". I pushed Tony away from me and grabbed cass and everything else.
"Stay the fuck away from us all of you!". I ran as quickly as I could to the one place I felt it'd be safe from effy and Tony.. my aunts.. I hesitated but saw little babes face.. fuck. I knocked and wasn't prepared for what was next.. my aunt opened the door and looked like she had seen a ghost.. but she was actually healthy. Looking sober.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to just show up but we have no where else to go". I stepped behind cass carrier.. her eyes started to well up amd she smiled opening the door nodding us in. She helped me with all the stuff I was lugging with me. She put it in effys old room that was tonys.. I picked cass up and held her close rocking her to make sure she stayed settled.
"Lets get you a cuppa then eh?". I nodded and followed her to the kitchen. After she made us some tea I let her hold cass.
"Whats her name then love?".
"Cassandra cook vanders. I call her cass or cassie". My aunt smiled and smelled her head.
"You wouldn't know it but this spot will always smell like lavender when you hold them. How's your mums?". I shook my head stared out the window. "Everything went to shit. Dad's leaving her. Effy came and tornadoes my life I was trying to start and your son is still the same enabling big brother to the impossible little sister". She smiled and set cassie in an old bassinet she had from when effs was a baby.
"My kids haven't changed then?". The question took me aback.
"Haven't you seen them?". She smirked and chuckled.
"Not since I got sober. God knows I deserve it". I stood up and hugged her tight.
"You did the best you could. You can't blame them for pushing you out. You look incredible and healthy and I'm happy for you". She kissed my hand and patted it laughing wiping some stray tears.
"Always the sweet girl of the family. I owe you an apology to. When you first came back there so much shit going on. I neglected taking care of you all. Now I know whats going on. It's all over the news Where's cook cammie?" I felt nauses and didn't know how to answer..
"I'm not sure. I was with max and Anwar. Tony turned up. Let it slip effy knew where I was. Matter of time before he turns up". She nodded and came over to hug me tight.. I finally broke down and cried as harder than I knew I could..
"You can stay here as long as you want. I have a few things for cass. I can help with whatever you need. And if cook shows up here I'll take care of it". I held her arm and she wiped my tears holding my hands.
"Its gonna be okay love. Auntie athie got you girls. Come on I'll grab the old bassinet and you just rest up. You look like hell". We did just that and I swear I slept 3 days. I lunged up searching for cass. My aunt saw me and carefully rushed over.
"Shes right here I got her. Here love for the pain". She handed me two Tylenol and I took them throwing my head in the pillow.
"Jesus, sorry. Im on edge constantly now." She handed cass to me and I fed her.
"How about we go out today get you a meal some cloths for you and the babe". I nodded and my aunt kissed my head.
"Finsh up feeding and get ready I'll watch her". I nodded and as soon as Cas was done I got ready struggling to remeber the simplest makeup I've done for years..When I went downstairs my aunt was already. First placed we stopped was a shopping center. Every part of me felt on edge and my aunt could see it..
"Darling it's okay. Go on pick a shop". I found one and finally felt as ease like no one knew me..
