Cam's Breakdown

Day 8, ugh, day 8 huh? Have I really been stuck in this apartment for 8 days? Technically I've been here for 10 if you count the weekends but damn, I should be at school with Cam.You blushed at the sudden realization. 

You weren’t allowed to go back to school until your leg healed. “Our school is filled with students.  During the passing period the halls are  packed, I hope you can see how this can be a safety hazard for you with a cast. I suggest you take online classes until your leg is healed.” said the stupid email from Mr. Hill, the principal. Did he even exist? You’d never seen him, the only thing you knew was that his son, Keyon attended the school.

You tried to protest with them, saying that you were perfectly capable of roaming the school with your cast, but they wouldn’t listen. You weren’t exactly sure if you were happy about staying home or sad about not seeing your friends. You weren’t popular but you weren’t a loner. Honestly, everything was better that way. At least Jace wouldn’t notice or bully you. 

Jace.

Jace Belladonna was the head bully of Westhaven Academy. Every other bully was just an underling. Zeke, Paul, Noah, Kathryn all of them put together weren’t even half as feared as Jace. It’s not that he was feared, he was privileged. Regardless of what he did or who he did what to, he would always get a slap on the wrist. That made your blood boil.

He would take advantage of this and push everyone around. He was like a bloodthirsty beast and slowly that  greed was getting out of control. The entire reason you were stuck at home to begin with was Jace. If you had simply fallen off of the catwalk your leg would’ve been fine in about a week, but because of the force Jace put into yanking you, your leg was broken. All to simply piss off Cameron.

You hadn’t been in school for a couple of days, but you’ve heard from first hand accounts that Westhaven has gotten a new Chemistry teacher. Along with the new art teacher, there had seemed to be many new additions to the staff, but why? You had met this new art teacher and had gotten along with them quite well. However, you were nervous about coming back and meeting the new chemistry teacher because you had heard that he was none other than Zeke Grave’s father.  

Knock knock

You were pulled out of your deep thinking and daydreaming by a knock on the door. 

“I’m coming!” you yelled so the person knocking would be aware that you were gonna answer, however you fell several times on your trip to your door. Once you finally made it to your door, you were a sweaty mess. (A/N: I have never broken a bone or had to deal with a cast so I am so sorry if this isn't accurate, it probably isn't) 

“Yes? I am so sorry for the wait- Cam?” You were shocked to see Cam standing there… with red puffy eyes. You could tell he was biting his tongue to stop himself from crying.

 “Are you alright? What happened? Oh come inside.” You moved to the side so he could come inside.

As soon as he stepped into the apartment, he bursted into tears. You stood there in utter speechlessness. You were unaware of what to do, your heart racing and millions of thoughts going through your head at once. At last you decided to hug him. 

You held him in your warm embrace as his sobs became louder and his tears fell faster. You were puzzled as to why he had come to you or who or what had done this to him. But you didn’t care, you would simply sit there and show him you loved him. Show him you cared as much as he cared for you. You felt many emotions going through you at once. Sadness, sympathy, rage, love.

“Cam, it’s ok sweetie, everything is gonna be ok. I’m here, I won’t let anyone hurt you. Shhh, it 's ok. Do you mind telling me what happened? It’s fine if you don’t want to, I would just like to know.” You swayed back and forth with him between your arms, slowly rubbing his back. 

Many thoughts raced through your head as you waited for his answer. Did someone yell at him? Did someone pick on him because of his hair again? Was he overwhelmed? School work getting to him? Mental health breakdown?

“I-I’m sorry. I h-had a horrible day.” he said, hugging back. “Jace made fun of me yet again, but this time he went overboard. If he h-had just made fun of me I would’ve been fine with it, I’m used to it. But he, he-” He burst into tears all over again.

You held on to him tighter. This time not only was Cam crying his heart out to you, you were shedding tears of rage as well. You didn’t realize the hot tears streaming down your cheeks until Cam wiped one off.

“No, please don’t cry.” he tried to avoid a voice crack by going quiet afterwards, but his attempts were unsuccessful. Instead he buried his face into your shoulder. 

“Please Cameron, what did he do to you. I need to know.” he kept his face on your shoulder, but you could feel his breathing slowly going back to normal.

All of a sudden you felt him jolt from your arm. A beaming face staring back at your shocked expression. His sudden mood swing made you jump in astonishment.

“What was all of that about? Didn’t Jace-” his hand covered your mouth.

“Shhh~ yeah he did do something, but I’m ok now… I couldn’t go home like this. My mother would’ve killed my father. Something about he was supposed to be there to protect me or something, but honestly, I don’t need my father to look after me.” he looked down sheepishly. “However it’s kind of embarrassing having my father there, Jace and Noah kinda use it against me. Oh don’t get me wrong I love my father. I love my family, but sometimes my mom and my brother Logan get a bit protective of me. If they would’ve seen me like this, I would’ve been dead.”

You gawked at him.

“What?” 

“So? What did he do to you?” you asked in a very demanding matter. 

“I- I uh. He- he told me very dark things. Nothing out of the ordinary from him but what really hurt me was the way he talked about you. He said nasty stuff about you. He told me, you should leave me and-” tears started to well up in his eyes all over again.

“Hey, no, no it’s ok, you don’t need to tell me. It 's ok. I hope you understand that I do love you. That I’m with you because I want to be, not because I’m being forced. I- I love you, truly Cameron.” you kissed him on his forehead, before he pulled you in for a deeper, much more passionate kiss. The rest of the afternoon was spent in each others arms and in comfort. 

Honestly I was planning on making a Cam Oneshot but I didn't think it was gonna go this way. I just put my hands on the keyboard and started typing. At first I wanted to make a you meeting his family type of thing (technically you already know his dad but like everyone else) but it just turned into this. I'm still pretty happy about it though. I was planning on posting much sooner but I had life events that made it difficult for me sit still and write. Also am I the only one  fascinated by the outside characters, like their siblings or parents. Love learning more of their life in that aspect. Anyways enough of me rambling hope you enjoyed💕
