SILENCE: Modern aot x child reader

Chapter 17

Soon all the cooking was done and it was time for dinner. So we visited mom and came back to the house in time for dinner.

"Come on you two it's time for dinner so go take a shower and change!" Aunt Ciara said. "Cameron kicked me off the couch. "Cameron!" Uncle Jose said. "It was an accident!" Cameron said.

"Help her up now" Uncle Jose said. Cameron narrowed his eyes at me and pulled me up. "And apologize" He said.

"No it's fine it was an accident right Cameron" I signed. "Yeah" He said. I took a shower and changed then went downstairs to the dining room.

I was about to go and sit next to Eren but before I knew it all the seats were taken only two seats open the one where my mom usually would sit and another seat next to Cameron.

I went over to Eren. "Can we switch seats?" I signed. "Y/n go sit down" Dad said. I frowned and sat down next to Cameron.

"So we're all here together as a family today though sadly not here with Carla hopefully next year or maybe even Christmas! Though all I have to say is I'm glad we can be here happy together! now before dinner lets start with what we're grateful for!" Grandpa Fred said.

"I'll start! I'm grateful for my strong family that I wouldn't've been able to start without my wife!" Grandpa Fred said.

"I'm grateful for My beautiful family and friends!" Grandma Mae said. And it basically went on around the table the same.

"I'm grateful for being able to be with my family" I signed while glancing at Cameron. "I'm grateful for most of my family" Cameron said.

"You mean all" Aunt Ciara said while raising her eyebrow. "Yes all of my family" Cameron said in a sarcastic tone.

"Okay well let's eat!" Grandma Marina said. I looked at Cameron to see he genuinely started to look sick.

"What?" Cameron asked while raising his eyebrow at me. "Nothing" I signed. As we passed food around so we could all get some Grandma Mae and Grandma Marina came and put extra food on mine and Cameron's plates.

"Grandma that's too much" Cameron said. "You need more to get strong!" Grandma Marina said.

He took some of his food and put it on my plate. "No I don't want your seconds! it's was on your plate it's gonna infect my food" I signed.

"Calm down no it won't" Cameron said. I put the food back on his plate. "Stop" He said. "It's your food so you eat it" I signed.

We kept eating and talking. I took some food off Cameron's plate and ate it. Cameron gave me a weird look.

"What? you didn't even want this before" I signed. "But you said it was infected" He said. "Do you want me to throw it up" I signed.

He rolled his eyes and continued to play with his food. He got up and was about to leave but Aunt Ciara stopped him.

"Where are you going you barely even ate your food" Aunt Ciara asked. "I'm going to the bathroom calm down I'll be back soon it's not like I'm running away" Cameron said.

"Are you okay you don't look well do you need some Tylenol?" Aunt Ciara said. "NO I WANT YOU TO LEAVE ME ALONE!" He yelled before storming away.

Everyone went silent and Aunt Ciara and Uncle Jose looked surprised and mad. "Well that took a dark turn" Dave said.

"You know what Dave why don't you shut the hell up and stop being a suck up" Dad said. "Your just mad I'm marrying Dina" Dave said.

I furrowed my eyebrows then got up and went outside in the  backyard and stopped when I saw Cameron sitting by the pool.

I hesitantly sat down next him. "Are you crying?" I asked. "Please go away" He said while wiping his eyes.

I furrowed my eyebrows. "No" I said. "Why so you can betray me again" He said. "Is that why your upset?" I asked.

"No" He said. "Then why?" I asked. "Because I'm anorexic" He said. I gave him a look of confusion.

"You don't know what that is right?" He asked. I shook my head. "It's like how you don't want to talk no matter how much you want to I can't eat" He said.

"But I've seen you eat" I said. "Well I can eat it's just when I do I can't keep it down" Cameron said.

"You throw it up?" I asked. He nodded. "But why?" I asked. He stayed silent for a long minute. "M friends told me about this kid at some kid that transferred to my school. He was a chubby kid but he was nice though the kids at his old school didn't like him because he was bigger." Cameron said.

"They started bullying him to the point where it got really bad like death threats bad. I know nothing like this would happen at my school but I don't know it scared me and made me realize that no one really cares about who you are I guess"

"It really the reason why I got a psychiatrist but my parents don't know they sent me to her so they could figure out what was wrong with me. My psychiatrist knows but my mom and dad don't... I'm too scared to tell them I don't think they'll understand... because they're different they're normal you know they won't understand what I feel like"

"Why not? they're your parents" I said. "You never tell your dad anything" Cameron said. "That's different he won't understand" I said.

"See" He said. "How come you didn't tell me before?" I asked. "I thought you would think that I'm weird" He said.

I smiled. "Why would I think something your struggling with is weird? you need help that's not bad" I said.

He wiped his eyes and smiled at me. "Your a good person so don't end up like me" He said. "Why your awesome" I said.

He hugged me and started crying and after a while he calmed down. "Do you want to go back now?" I signed.

"Can we just wait here for a while?" He asked while dipping his finger into the pool. "Okay" I said.
