Open Arms

Chapter 5

Voilets POV
--------------------
The next day, (Cameron and I got off for the rest of the week.) Cameron and I went shopping for the guesthouse. We needed toilet paper and cleaning stuff... And food.
We drove into the parking lot and got out of the car. I grabbed my backpack, I don't like purses, and walked inside. Cameron was still in the car but I didn't feel like waiting for him because he's been really clingy today. He does that whenever we are in public, I think he wants other guys to think we are dating so he has me all to himself. Which is perfectly fine with me because I'm not looking to date anyone.
"Violet! Wait for me!" I hear Cameron yell, and I pretend not to hear him, but he knows I did. I run inside and hide behind a shelf. I watch Cameron from behind the shelf and move to another. I can't see him from here so I assume he went off to find me. I stand up and start walking.
"Excuse me, miss?" I feel someone tap my shoulder. I turn around and see a store manager.
"Yeah?" I ask
"Are you hiding from someone, are you in danger?" He asks. He's actually really attractive and my age.
"Should I make him leave the store, I could do that for you babe..." He's also a douche bag.
"No I was just hiding from my... Boyfriend." Did I just say that. I think I did.
I feel a hand on my shoulder and see Cameron. I smile at him and the manager walks away.
"Boyfriend? I could get use to that." Cameron says smirking at me.
"Your a boy, and your my friend." I say confidently.
"Wow, I'm your friend now? Why are you being so nice?" He says laughing.
"Shut up. Or I'll burn your house down." I say as we turn the corner with all the kid toys in it.
"Well then." Cameron says, grabbing a plastic tiara off the shelf and putting it on me.
"What are you doing, cameron?" I ask.
"Princess Violet." He says smiling. I can't help but smile at him.
"Can I borrow your phone?" I ask.
"Sure." He hands me his phone and I take a selfie. I make it his lock screen, homescreen, and my contact picture. I change my name to Princess Violet with a crown emoji and show him. I point to me name,
" I put voilet so you wouldn't confuse me with any of your other princesses." I said smiling.
"But youre my one and only baby." He says and I walk away. I grab toilet paper and some ramen noodles and pay for them before leaving.
I go to the car and then sit on my phone. Soon, I see Cameron walk out with the same things. He obviously didn't see me check out. He looks in the car window.
"Really." He says and I laugh and unlock the doors. He gets in the passenger seat and I drive away.
"Are you mad?" He asks.
"No, I was messing around." I reply..
"Oh." He says.
I drive home and get out of the car and grab the bags. We go inside and Cameron starts making ramen noodles for us. He puts them in bowls and sets them on the counter as I unpack everything from today.
"Lunch, voilet." He says and I nod. I sit down at the counter and start eating, same as him.
"Thank you." I say.
"No problem, they are pretty easy to make, believe it or not." He says putting a finger in the air making me  laugh.
"I've made ramen noodles before." I say.
"Knowing you, you probably burnt them." He mumbles.
"I heard that." I say, rolling my eyes.
"Good. I will be making ramen noodles in this house from now on." I says.
"Really?" I say.
"Yes! Don't talk back to me, now go to your room." He yells.
"Is that any way to treat a princesses?" I say batting my eyes.
"I think so... Not sure." He says, taking another bite. I put my bowl away, because he gave himself more ramen than me.
"Daddy has some more rules, now that you are living in my house." He demands.
"Daddy?" I ask, looking at him.
"Yes, princess?" He responds.
"Stop." I say, walking to my room.
"What?" He asks.
"It sounds wrong.. I don't like it. I'm not gonna call you daddy." I said laughing. Cameron put his bowl away and quickly followed after me. I went into my room and sat on my bed. Cameron sat next to me.
"Can I help you?" I ask when he sits.
"Nope." He responds.
"Why do you keep following me?"
"Sorry, Violet Mae. I'm just so obsessed with you, princess." He says.
"Great." I laugh and he stares at me.
He gets up and walks out.
"Where are you going?" I yell.
"Out." He yells back.
"DADDY!" I yell, knowing he'll come back. He walks in the room with no shirt on. I never noticed he had abs... Or that many at least...
"Can I help you?" He says leaning in the door way.
"When did that happen?" I said laughing and pointing to his stomach.
"Well, when you said you didn't want me, I decided to start working out. Either for you, or for other girls." He said winking.
"Cam, I told you that yesterday." I said laughing.
"And? Do you see what I'm capable of?" He asks.
"Nope." I said getting up. He looked at me in shock.
"Where are you going?" He asked when I walked out of my room.
"Out." And I walked to the kitchen.
"PRINCESS!" I heard him yell, but I kept walking and I went to my car. I got in and drove. No place for certain. But I needed to get away from Cameron. I needed to think for myself. I wasn't mad at Cameron, but he's clingy. I just wanted to be alone for a while.
I drove to the hiking trail I use to do with my aunt before she went missing. We use to walk it one a week. I grabbed my ear buds and my phone from my car and some shorts. No one is ever here so I change in the woods. I put my ear buds in and listen. I decide to take the trail along the ocean. Its the cleanest trail, and there are hardly ever animals here.

After about an hour, my music pauses and Cameron's ringtone plays. I look and see I have 12 text messages from him. I decline the call and read the messages.

-what do you want for dinner?
-where did you go?
-Violet
-Where are you????
-answer me violet I'm getting worried
-violet
-where are you
-I'm coming to look for you
-I know your phone is on, they say delivered.
-violet srsly answer me
-where are you?!?!?
-ANSWER MY CALL NOW

And then a new one popped up, I clicked on my messages.

-where the hell are you? Answer my call.. I know you read my messages.

I called him and he answered right away.
"Where are you, Violet?!"
"Out." I said.
"Be more specific."
"I'm at the hiking trail." I sighed.
"I'm coming to get you." He answered.
"No, don't. I have my car. I'm fine. I just wanted to be alone." I respond quickly.
"Are you mad at me?" He asks.
I started heading back to my car and ignore him.
"Violet? Are you okay?" He asks impatiently.
"I'm fine. I'm not mad at you either. I just needed to think for myself. I feel like you're babysitting me, and I don't like it. I just want to be independent." I said, putting my phone on speaker and setting it on the top of my car so I can unlock it.
"Sorry, I just care about you. I understand if I'm smothering you. But I know are going through something hard and I want to be there for you." He responds.
"Okay, I'm on my way home." I said.
"You never told me what you want for supper." He questioned.
"Oh, I'll pick up some panda express on the way home." I told him.
"Okay see you then." Cameron said, and then hung up.
I put my phone in my bag as I pulled into panda express.
