I thought I was invincible

Chapter 25

I started crying. Cameron Came rushing in, "Nicolette?" He knelt beside me "What's wrong?". I didn't say anything. "Nicolette, what is it?". I just sat there in silence. He took the towel out of my hand, out it in the trash, and then helped me up. I stood up and he pulled me in to a hug.
"My mom" I said softly
He pulled away, "your mom?"
"I found her"
"You never told me that. I just remember that you were at my house during the day and then that night an ambulance and police came and you were in shock, you didn't say anything. My parents and I came to the hospital with you and your mom died in surgery, right? And then we brought you to our house and your Aunt came to get you the next day"
"That day, I was at your house. We were playing upstairs and you asked if I wanted to stay over, so I went home to ask if I could. I went through the backdoor, since it was unlocked and I saw blood on the stairs but also leading in to the living room. I went upstairs. The blood led to my parents room. I saw my mom laying on the floor, she was surrounded by her own blood. I started crying and screaming mommy, mommy . But she didn't move. i yelled out for my dad but he didn't answer. I ran down the stairs to find a phone, to call 911. I ran in to the living room and I saw my dad, his back turned to me. He was on the phone. I was yelling at him to call an ambulance, I kept saying that mommy was dying but he ignored me. He turned around. I saw blood all over him, I figured that he just found her before I did.
"My wife, I-I I shot her" he said
I froze. I didn't know what to do, he was staring at me.
"Alright" he said and he hung up the phone. I glanced over at the kitchen counter and saw a gun,it was bloody. then I looked back at my dad. He walked towards me and I stepped back.
"Nicolette" he was crying "I'm sorry"
I ran upstairs and slammed the door to my parents room. I locked it and then ran to my mom. I talked to her and begged her not to leave me. I put two fingers on her wrist. she had a pulse. "Mommy, your not dead because you have a pulse. So you stay not dead, okay?" I said to her. I layed my head on her chest and I felt her head move, I sat up. she was fluttering her eyelashes. "Momma!" I said "Nico-le-lette" she could barely speak "I lo-love you" she said. I told her that I loved her too and then she smiled and shut her eyes. I started crying and I heard the ambulance sirens"
I began crying and couldn't finish my story.
Cam put his hand on my arm.
"I heard the sirens, and I ran outisde but a policeman held me back from your house. I called out for you. I thought you were hurt"
He held my hand and I layed my head on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry" he said
"Me too"

We got up off of the floor and went to sit on the couch. I fell asleep right away and Cam covered me with a blanket. I woke awhile later to the sound of Cams doorbell.
i fluttered my eyelashes open and watched Cam answer the door.
"Nash?" Cam said, shocked
"Can I come in?" Nash asked
"Yeah" Nash stepped in and Cam closed the door.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said what I said at the hospital, especially with what your going through" Nash said. He sounded sincere but I couldn't tell if he really was.
"It's fine" I could tell that Cam was still upset with Nash but he didn't tell Nash that.
Nash turned so that he could see into the living room. I quickly shut my eyes.
"Nicolette?" He said "whys she here?" He asked Cam
"She took Mackenzie home for me and watched her and they were both asleep on the couch when I got home, so I brought Mackenzie up to her room and I left Nicolette on the couch. I didn't want to wake her"
"Oh" Nash nodded
"Thanks for apologizing" Cam was trying to get him to leave
"Yeah well I'm just-" Nash paused and let out a breath "sorry" he finally said.
Cam opened the door and Nash left.
I opened my eyes as Cam walked over to me.
"Did you hear all that?" He asked
I nodded "are we ever going to tell him?"
"Do you want to?" he asked
"No but I feel guilty and when he does find out he'll be so angry.."
"It's okay" he said as he rubbed my arm
"Everything will be okay"
