Are You Scared Yet?

I Can't Figure You Out

          Princeton sighed and started to talk, but then he rested his hand on the buttons to my chair. I immediately folded in half along with the bed. He ran around the bed and pulled it apart. I felt like my body had been mashed together with two beds made out of knives.

"Cameron are you okay?" he asked as he fixed my leg

"No" I said as the pain began to posses my body "Everything hurts now" I said as i held my stomach which had just been completely folded in half

"I have no idea how that happened" He said continuously fixing my leg, revealing him to be a perfectionist

"Princeton...my leg is fine" I told him, and he stopped

"Oh sorry" He stopped and paused "I just feel so guilty" He said looking down

"Well...Why?" I said looking at him

"Huh?" He said as an attempt to throw me off

"Why did you push me out the window?" I asked again

"We-" He stopped himself the took a heavy seat in one of the chairs "My step dad..." He paused again as if not sure i could be trusted

"You can tell me" I told him as i made a sorry attempt to sit up

"Okay...My step dad is an...he's a alcoholic" He started "And he drinks heavy...he beats anything and everything, and if you stayed he would have hurt you too. I mean...pushing you out of the window wasn't the smartest thing i could have done, but i panicked" He said as his eyes wondered out the window

"Princeton" I said softly "...He...he..he beats you?" I said unsure

"Don't do that" He said looking directly in my eyes from across the room

"Do...What?" i asked

"Have pity on me because of my step dad...that's why i never tell anyone...because they think less of me" He jolted out of the chair and zipped right out of the room

                              I looked around the room, and i saw his phone on a cart. I scooted in my bed and i stretched out my hand for it. My arm fell short so i scooted over a little more. Then i finally grasped it and i dialed Janay's number. It rang three times, then four ,then five, then

"Hey"

"Yeah Janay i'm in the hospital i need you to-"

"Leave me a message and i call you back at my earliest convenience"

                               I took his phone from my ear, and i stared at it. Then i placed it back on the tray. I sighed to myself. I 'm stuck in the hospital, Janay is no where to be found, and all i have here is Princeton who is...so not to be trusted.

I sat in the hospital bed and got bored with myself so i figured i'd turn the TV on. The first channel was the news...BLECK...so i turned, and then this old black and white soap opera came on. So i figured the news wasn't all that bad. I turned back and pulled some chicken noodle soap next to me as i began to sip on it.

"A young girl has just been dragged out of the River] My eyes went to the TV [bystanders reported her to have been floating downstream...locals say she wasn't anyone who lived by the area] She stopped holding on to her headset [They reported her name to be Janay]"

                          My whole upper torso popped out of the bed, and my eyes were glued to the screen. It showed her coughing up water as they tended to her...she's okay. That was all i could think about.

 I called Carmen up, her phone rang three times until i heard her voice.

"Carmen, it's me Cameron" I said in a slightly panicked voice

"Hey, what's wrong?" She asked

"Sorry if you were busy...but i need a favor" I said waiting for her approval for me to continue

"Yeah, and where have you been you're not in school" She said

"Because,i hurt my leg" She cut me off with her worried to death words

"What how?" She shouted

"I fell out of a window...long story, but you have to spy on Princeton for me" I said quickly changing the subject

"Wha-" She said deeply "I heard about that Cam...why do you keep taunting this boy?" She asked and i could tell she was giving me one of those 'looks' through the phone

"I'm pleading right now Carmen...him and his little crew will one day do something you're heart won't be able to bare...i'm not sure what that is yet, but mark my words it'll be bad" I told her

"Okay...what do you want me to do?" She asked a big sigh leaving her mouth

"Just watch him...you'll see what drama i'm talking about" I said hanging up the phone

                          I sat lonely in the bed and my eyes wondered around the room. Then my eyes fell on the big banquet of flowers. It confuses me how he's another person one second, and then he's the sweetest. But does he really get abused. My head fell as i was ashamed of myself...if he's being abused he really doesn't need my drama, but honestly can you blame me he does do some things which can make you worried about his health and yours.

How do you go about a situation when you're unsure exactly what's happening around you...you try so hard to save someone...even though you're not sure who you're saving...is it you, or the enemy

                            I dialed a number i got just in case

"Hello?" His voice answered

"Yeah...Ray, Can you come down to the hospital...I have some _things_ we need to discuss" I said as normally as my nerves could bare

"Uh, yeah sure" He said staying calm, i heard him stay on the line, but i clicked off staring blankly at my leg
