Dean and I used to get along.......Believe it or not we did. As little kids we shared everything.....Until 6th grade when we were talking about girls and found out we both had a crush on AJ.....That night was the worst night ever......

Ambrose home........

"Hey Cameron? Wanna go play some video games?" Dean asked me excitedly. "Duh man! I like playing X box with you! You're the best twin anyone could ask for anyway man!" Dean and I ran to our room and played Sonic the Hedgehog. "Hey so with the Halloween dance coming up I was wondering Dean, what girl do you wanna take?" I asked. "I'm gonna ask AJ." Dean smiled as he passed me up. "Oh.....well that's funny.....for a sec there I heard you say AJ." I laughed awkwardly. "Yeah. I did. I like AJ." Dean looked at me weirdly. "But you can't like her! I like her!" I yelled. "Nuh uh! I like her more!" Dean and I got into a fist fight. "Ugh! I can't live with a traitor like you!" I run out of the house to the Bella house crying and I knock on the door. "Cameron? What're you doing here?" Mrs. Bella asked me. "I ran away.....Dean and I aren't friends anymore....." I kept crying and sniffling as the cold rain poured down on me. "Come in. Come in Cameron. You can explain after you get dried and warmed up." Mrs. Bella took care of me. I explained everything and she hugged me. "I'm sorry you lost your brother over a girl." She comforted me. "Stay as long as you want." She coaxed me to calm me down. Everyday after that Dean and his friends would beat me up and tease me and abuse me when John and my friends weren't around. "Why do you keep picking on me?! We're brothers!" I cried as Dean kicked me in my stomach constantly. "We were brothers. Not anymore though!" Dean laughed evilly as he continued the abuse. Suddenly Dean got hit in the head and I looked to see who decided to help me. It was none other than our cousin Jeff Hardy. "Jeff?! I thought you were deans friend! Not mine!" I yelled confusedly. "Yeah. Before he became a bully." Jeff helped me up as he glared at Dean. "You okay though man?" Jeff asked as he checked for cuts and bruises. "I-I'm fine.....I'm just sad......I'm a 6th grader and I cry.....I'm so pathetic!" I yelled as I kept crying. "No man! Tears may show weakness but it also shows you have a heart and are sensitive. Trust me girls like sensitive. Unlike Dean though you actually care about others. You put others before you. It's your greatest strength but one day it may be your greatest weakness." Jeff reassured me. "Thanks big cousin." I smiled weakly and walked into the cafeteria with him. "Hey. No prob little man." Jeff scuffed my hair. Matt Hardy walked up to us. "Dean again?! When will he learn?!" Matt yelled. "I-I don't know...." I stuttered. "Hey. Just let us know when he's picking on you." Jeff commanded sternly. "O-Okay....."I sat at my lunch table with AJ and our friends and started reading. "Cam? You okay?" Summer asked. I buried my face into the book some more. "Y-Yeah." I said sheepishly. "Then put down the book so we can talk." AJ smiled. "I-I'm good...." I said scared. "Too bad." John pushed my book down and they saw my black eye. "What happened?!" Nikki yelled. "I-I ran into a pole. I'm okay though. I-I promise." I said even more scared now. 'Nobody but Jeff, Matt, me, Dean and his friends know about the abuse I go through.....I shouldn't get more people I care about involved......'I thought. "He's lying." AJ said flatly. "How can you tell?" Dolph asked. "He stutters a lot when he lies." She explained. "N-N-Not true." I stuttered even more. "Cam. Please tell us the truth. You're our brother now." Brie looked hurt. "Okay.....I.....I got into a fight. That's all. And I'll explain to you and Nikki later. It's a bit too personal to talk about in the open like this." I explained.

After School at the Bella House........

"Dean attacked me again......But Jeff showed up and helped me....." I started crying. "I wish I didn't need help....I wish I could stand up for myself!" I cried harder as I sat on the couch with the sister hugging me from both sides. "It's okay Cam. Even if you have help fighting doesn't make you strong or weak. Your heart does." Nikki said soothingly. "But I can't even stand up for what I believe....." I said sadly. "Don't worry. That day will come." Nikki reassured me.

Present time........

'You were right Nikki. Thanks sis.' I smile as I watch AJ sleep soundly.
