The girl in the shadows: Cameron Dallas

Chapter 15

Chapter 15

Caroline's POV 

I woke up exited about seeing Cameron again.

  I got up and did my usual make up routine. Which is just covering up any visible bruises.

  And of course there was one on my face from last night.

  After getting dressed and grabbing my bag i headed downstairs to meet Sam.

  "Hey I have an idea!" I said wasting no time telling her.

After telling her my plan she looked skeptical.

"Are you sure that's gonna work?" She asked.

"Nope" I said popping the "p"

She just laughed practically skipping down the street.

   *after school*

Still Caroline's POV

"What kind of outfit do you where to play 20 questions?!" Sam said coming out of her closet.

  I laughed and helped her pick an outfit.

There was still girls outside from the meet up that day when we got there.

Once we got in the lobby it was quiet.
  To quiet.

"They said they were gonna meet us in the lobby." Sam said looking around.

  All of a sudden all the boys and Mahogany came rushing out the elevator.  
   With water guns.

Let's just say thank you god for water proof phone cases.

We were all just laughing until it got quiet and all eyes on me.

"What?" I asked feeling self conscious all of a sudden.

"What happened to your face?" Matt asked.

  Shit.

I looked at Sam with panicked eyes.

  "Umm I fell.... penny boarding." I said hoping they bought it.

I don't think they did but I was grateful they didn't pry.

  We all walked into one of the ballrooms.

   But Bart pulled Sam and I back a little. "So what did your parents say?" He asked.

  "My parents said yes." Sam said.

Bart looked at me waiting for an answer.
"Umm my parents said yes to." I said.
I didn't want to lie to him but I needed to go on this tour.
"Great, since they both said yes I think I'm just gonna call them instead of setting up a big meeting." He said.

  We just nodded and went to the ballroom where everyone else was already seated.
  "We need to talk later." Sam whispered to me.
I gave a small smile and turned my attention to Nash.

  He was explaining the rules.

  "Nash it's 20 questions, we aren't building a cabinet from Ikea." Carter said sarcastically.

"Bish whet?" Nash said.

We all laughed and then decided who was going first.

In this game we have an app that has all of our names in it and when we press shuffle a name pops up and that person has to answer a question.

  Of course Nash volunteered to go first.

  After a couple rounds it was Cameron turn to ask a question.
I knew it was me because I was the last name left.

"So Caroline, how long did you know that Sam could sing?" He asked.

  I swear if he asked a question about Sam in the next round I was going to rip out his kidney with a plastic spoon.

   "Umm since we became friends, she told me about it and I encouraged her to make videos." I said side hugging Sam.

The next round I was the second person to get picked, and Shawn had to ask me a question.

"Okay, how did you really get that bruise on your face?" He asked giving me a stern look.

I was honestly wishing the floor would just swallow me up.

"I told you" I said looking down.

"No you told us a lie, I want the truth" he said.

I could feel the tears building up and threatening to flow over.

"I- I umm ... I can't do this." I said quickly, running to the bathroom.

  I heard footsteps run in right after me.
  It was Sam and Mahogany.

  "Are you okay?" Sam asked.

I was in the big stall just standing there.
I didn't answer because the truth is I don't even know if I'm okay.

I slowly unlatched the door and walked out.
  I was quickly engulfed in a hug by both of the girls.

Sam pulled away first. "Are you gonna tell them?"
 
  I really didn't want to.
"Tell them what?" Mahogany asked.

I just nodded. "They're gonna find out eventually." I said wiping away the last of my tears.

"Please tell me what's going on?" Mahogany asked again.

"The bruise on my face....... it's from my foster dad." I said looking down ashamed.

  "Wait, you have foster parents?" She asked.

I nodded still not looking her in the eye.
"I'm so sorry, I support you no matter what though." she said pulling me into another hug.

  "Now I have to tell the boys." I said pulling away.
