Chapter seven: So It Goes...

I sat at the couch while The Ashleys are talking to each other.

The burial is kinda meh.

People are crying and honestly I wasn't even there.

I don't know why The Bensons are holding their funeral reception two days after the funeral and the burial.

Like Ashley isn't even that important.

They even did it in their stupid mansion.

I sat here thinking how am I gonna go to my dad.

I don't know where he is and I don't even have a contact from him.

Because my bitch of a mother is trying to keep me away from my dad who's got money.

He's filthy rich.

Now I'm gonna sit at the Bensons' mansion and stared at it with envy.

My phone rang and I checked it to see it's an unknown number.

It's probably Mom from jail.

I don't wanna hear anything from her.

"Oh my gosh... Are you okay?" Ashlee asked as she walked towards me.

"Why? Why wouldn't I be okay?" I looked at her confused.

"Your mom just got arrested" Ashlee looked at me with concern.

"What?!" Ashleigh just popped out of nowhere.

"Yeah, it's heartbreaking" Ashlee looked at Ashleigh and they both nodded.

"Why was she arrested?" Ashleigh asked.

"Drugs" Ashlee replied.

"Oh"

"Yeah" they looked at each other and nodded.

"Oh my gosh are you okay Cam?" They both looked at me.

"I don't wanna talk about it" I looked at them and sighed.

"What happened?" Jake looked at them confused and then to me.

"Cam's mom-"

"Shut up Ashlee!!" I raised my voice in frustration as I glared at her.

Everyone looked at me in shock as they all whispered to each other gossiping about what just happened.

Jake looked at me with concern in his eyes and I just rolled my eyes and walked outside the mansion.

I knew what I was doing.

I knew framing my own mom will get her out of my way but I didn't think it would be a talk of the town.

I didn't expect the attention would focus on me.

I took a deep breath as I savored the fresh air.

I need a distraction.

"You okay?" I jumped in surprise as I heard a familiar male voice.

I turned around and saw Jake smiling at me.

"Never better" I tried to smile.

"I'm not interrupting something am I?"

"Nope, no" I shook my head.

He walked towards me and I smiled at him as he got closer.

"Wanna do something fun?" He chuckled.

"You're getting on my nerves, you know that right?" I frowned.

"Good! Because that's what I felt when you won't stop comforting me" He smirked.

"Fuck you" I rolled my eyes which made him laugh and not gonna lie made me chuckle too.
