Cameron's P.O.V
I opened my eyes to see Karma staring at the ceiling with tears still running down her cheeks. I looked at the clock to see it was 3 in the morning. "Baby, have you slept?" I asked.
"I can't, sleep." She replied looking at me. I sighed then sat up. "I'm gonna get you something to eat." I said getting up. She grabbed my arm then pulled me back down. "Just, stay with me and, hold me and tell me everything's gonna be okay, please." She cried and I pulled her into my arms. "Don't worry baby, I'll be here with you through all of this." I whispered rocking her.

Karma's P.O.V
I sat at the front of the church with Cameron on my right and Melody on my right. I think Justin was beside Cameron or something. "And now to say a few words, his daughter Karma Santiago." I slowly got up and walked to the mic. "Good, uh, afternoon, my name's Karma and Jeremy was my dad, even though you guys already knew that. My dad was an amazing dad, even though sometimes it would get complicated, I knew that he loved me in a way that- th- that only I understood." I started but stopped for awhile. Cameron got up and ran to my side. "You can do this baby, I'm right here." He whispered kissing my cheek. I exhaled heavily then continued. "I don't know if he knows this but I'm so proud of him, ever since my mom died he has been there, no matter what the conciquences of whatever, he was there for me. I love you daddy." I finished then turned and buried my face into Cameron's chest, crying.
~moments later~
The funeral was over and I stood outside with Cameron, Melody and Justin. "Karma." I heard Justin's voice. "Yea." I answered softly.
"C'mere." He said pulling me into his arms. "If you wanna talk to anyone other than Cameron, I'm always here." He said then kissed my forehead. "Karma?" I heard a voice I turned around to see a guy. "I'm Zayn, your brother." He said and I stared at him for awhile. "I don't have a brother."
"Actually you do, my name's Zayn Santiago but I changed it to Malik. Zayn Malik. I was living with my mom." He said.
"So did you know that while your life was a bowl of sunshine, your sister was being abused?" Cameron asked and I looked at him. Why did he have to bring that up? "Yes, I did." Zayn replied. "Wait what?" Cameron said.
"I did I just thought it was best to stay with my mom, she was sick."
"What kind of dick brother are you? Do you have any idea of what she's been through? She almost bled to death, did you know she has kidney disease ... oh let me guess. I bet you did but your mom was sick right? She's your younger sister and you left her in hell." Cameron said then walked away. "I'm sorry Karma, I swear I didn't know you had kidney disease." He said.
"Don't worry, dad didn't know either."
"I live alone now, well with my girlfriend. You can stay with me if you want to."
"I kinda wanted to stay in this neighbourhood." I smiled shyly.
"Okay, I can buy a house here if you want." He said. "You would do that?" I asked and he chuckled. "You're my little sister, I'll do anything for you." He replied and I smiled.
"Ok I'm gonna go look for Cameron."
"Is he your boyfriend?"
"Um,I'm not really sure." I said then walked away. I walked to the nearby café to see him sitting with his earbuds plugged into his ear. "Hey." I said sitting down. He pulled them out and sat looking at me. "Are you still upset?" I asked. "No i just hate your brother." He replied and I smiled. Here we go. "Um he's gonna buy a house in the neighbourhood and he wants me to stay with him." I said and he dropped his phone on the table. "And you're gonna?" He asked sounding a little angry.
"He's my brother, Cam."
"Karma don't be stupid, you barely know him." He said clenching his jaws.
"Uh, you can say that because you have never had anyone hate you or beat you, so you wouldn't know what it's like to need someone to love or care about you." I said trying to hold back the tears "Miss may I get you something?" The waitress asked and I turned my head. "No thank you." I replied and she nodded. Then walked away. I got up and Cameron pulled me onto his lap. "I just don't wanna see you get hurt." He said then kissed me. I pulled away and smiled. "I love your dress by the way." He said looking down on me. "Thank you, Melody actually picked it out." I smiled and he nodded. (Pic at the side).
