"This Is Not Just Something You Keep From The World."
---------------
After I Left The Cancer Treatment Hospital, I Went To The Library And Searched Up Kamerons Parents Address.
It Took Me A Couple Hours To Find It, But It Finally Came Up. His Parents Were Still Married And Had Moved To A Small Town Just A Couple Of Hours Away.
I Had Went Home And Slept On My Plan And Now It Was Time To Meet Up With Them.
I Took A Nice Warm Shower, Washing My Hair Then Put It Into A Ponytail.
I Put On The Birthday Outfit I Had Gotten Made For This Very Moment.
It Was A Jersey Like Shirt With Kamerons Name On It And A Picture Of Us Two.
Some All White Pants With Happy On One Side In Silver And Birthday On The Other Side.
I Put On Some Simple White And Black Snow Boots And Grabbed My Belongings Before Heading To My Car.
I Sat In My 7th Period Social Studies Class With Kameron Blowing Up My Phone.
I Snuck And Read All Of His Messages Before My Teacher Had Noticed I Wasn't Paying Attention.
Kamm: Bonnie Somebody Just Asked About You.
Kamm: These NUTZ
Kamm: Ahh Gottee!
Kamm: Nahh But On Some Serious Shit, We Need To Talk About...
Kamm: These NUTZ
Kamm: Alright Im Done Bonnie. See You When You Get Out Of Class. Love You Girl.
"Ms. Gray?" My Teacher Spoke Loudly, "Is There Something More Important Than My Lesson?"
I Shook My Head, "No Ma'am, Sorry."
After Class That Day, Kameron Picked Me Up And We Went Out To Eat At Our Favorite Restaurant, 'Tokyo'.
After We Ate We Went To The Park We Would Always Go To As Kids And Talked About Our Future.
"Bonnie, On My Twenty-First Birthday, We Gone Go To A Strip Club." Kameron Said As He Gently Pushed Me On The Swing.
I Laugh At His Stupidity, "I Am Not Going To A Strip Club With You."
He Instantly Stopped Pushing Me, "And Why Not?"
I Turned To Look Back At Him, "Fine, But Were Going To A Male Strip Club."
"Hell No!" He Screamed. "Fuck That."
I Finally Arrived In The Small Town Around Noon And I Stopped At A Flower Shop I Had Spotted To Get Flowers For Kamerons Grave.
It Took Me Atleast A Good Twenty Minutes To Find The Perfect Ones Before I Finally Ended Up Paying For Them.
Before I Knew It I Was Pulling Up To This Beautiful Two Story House.
It Had Lovely Flowers Planted In The Front Yard And A Hand Built Rocking Chair On The Porch.
I Decided To Leave Everything In My Car Except The Flowers. It Felt Like I Was Walking Forever As I Walked To The Front Door.
I Knocked Softly And Waited Patiently Until The Door Swung Open.
Kamerons Dad Stood Firmly Behind The Door, "May I Help You?"
My Mouth Wouldn't Move, But I Finally Managed To Speak. "Hi, I'm Bonnie Gray, A Friend Of--
"I Know Who You Are." He Spoke, "Kameron Is Dead And To Us, So Are You."
That Hit Me Hard, But I Kind Of Knew It Was Coming, "Please Just Hear Me Out."
I Heard Movement Then Kamerons Mom Appeared At The Door. "Let Her In, The Least We Can Do Is Hear What She Has To Say."
I Sighed In Relief As I Was Let Into The Home. It Was Beautiful Inside Just Like It Was On The Outside.
Kamerons Father Disappeared To The Back While His Mother Sat On The Couch. "Please Sit."
I Sat Down As She Instructed, "Today Is Kamerons Twenty-First Birthday And I Want To Visit His Grave And Give Him These Flowers."
She Looked At Me For A Moment, As If She Wanted To Tell Me Something. "So, Why Dont You?"
"I Was Not Allowed To Attend The Funeral So I Have No Clue Where It Is."
She Laughed In My Face, "So If I Didn't Let You Go To His Funeral, Why Would I Let You Go To His Burial Sight."
"Please Mrs.-"
She Was Cut Off By The Front Door Opening. I Turned Towards The Door And There He Was.
"Happy Birthday To Me--" He Stopped When We Made Eye Contact. "Bonnie?"
A Part Of Me Wanted To Give Him The Biggest Hug Of History, But The Other Half Of Me Wanted To Punch The Shit Out Of Him.
"Your Supposed To Be Dead!" I Stood Up And Walked To Him, Flowers Still In My Hand.
"Before You Get Upset, Let Me Explain." He Was Still The Same Handsome Kameron.
"You Led Me To Believe You Were Dead For Two Years!" I Screamed, And Then The Tears Came. "This Is Not Just Something You Keep From The World."
He Wiped My Tears Away, "Bonnie Just Let Me Explain."
"I Don't Want Your Explanation!" I Said, Moving His Hand Away And Throwing The Flowers Dead In His Face. "Happy Fucking Birthday Kameron!"
