Lets Run Away

Chapter 3

So I switch P.O.V a lot in this chapter! Hope you enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cam's P.O.V

I stepped inside quietly, and tip-toed into my room to pack a bag. All of my clothes, money, blanket, and a pillow. I would grab food right before I left so it wouldn't be stale. I hide my bag in the closet and decide to way it out until midnight.

After an hour or two, my parents would be coming home soon. I grabbed my bag, a lot of food and left to the woods.

"STOP IT" I was scared out of my skin when I heard an ear-splitting scream. It was a girl- Jules?! No no no! It couldn't be.

"HELP!!" again, it sounds too much like Jules. I follow the screams to an old, run down house.

"STOP SCREAMING LITTLE GIRL" I hear snaps of a belt. Oh no. Not tonight. We still had a lot of time, but she was in pain, and it killed me inside when I heard the belt scrape across her skin with each agonizing whip. I am stepping from foot to foot. I need to do something.

I run to the tree house, to find my dads hunting rifle that we keep there. I am about to make a very drastic decision.

Juliette's P.O.V

"STOP!!" I am crying now, in the same situation I was in yesterday, except this time, my dad is holding a much tighter grip on me. I need someone, anyone to save me from this. I need to escape because they will hold me here all night.

"HELP!!" I squirm and squirm, but it's no use.

"STOP SCREAMING LITTLE GIRL!" My dad lets go of me so he can leave the room to get something, and my mom sits on me when he is gone.

He comes back with something behind his back. "I have something to make it better dear" Did that fucker just call me dear?!?

Then he pulls it out from behind him.

SHIT!

Cam's P.O.V

I jump through the window, and hide behind a old sofa. Right when I am about to start looking around, a figure walks through the kitchen.

"Where is it?" He murmurs, must be Jules's dad.

He fiddled around for a few minutes and then pulls out a shiny object.

He steps out of the room, and I follow quietly.

He opens up a door and I get a glance at Jules, with someone sitting on top of her.

The man is holding a knife in one hand, and holding Jules's hand down.

"JULIETTE!" I scream hitting the man with the gun. She pushes the lady off of her and grabs my hand. We rush though the house and she grabs a bag on the way out.

We run through the woods, to water town. It's actually 5 hour walk, so were going to stop and sleep outside, but well be fine.

After a couple hours of walking, it gets to be one in the morning. We decide to stop and sleep.

I set up a tent, while Jules starts a fire. We sit, staring at the stars. (We have our cliché moments alright?)

"Thank you" Jules says, breaking the silence.

"For what" I act ignorant.

"Saving me from those fuckers"

"No problem, Jules"

"And Cam? I want to tell you that..." She pauses. Does she love me back?

"You're like my brother, my protector, and I could never live without you" she snuggles up to me. I stay silent. I have just gone from brother to personal body guard in the friend zone. Shit...

"What?" She looks up at me and I smile a little, she is so pretty.

"Nothing, I just like that your safe with me now. Not suffering with those people we are forced to call parents" she has a small smile in her face and she settles down next to me, closing her eyes.

"Do you want to go into the tent?" I whisper, " you go and I will put out the fire" she nods and gets up and crawls into the tent. Why do I feel so hurt? She said she needs me! I just thought she would want more than a friendship.

With that, the fire burns down and I crawl into the tent with her.

Juliette's P.O.V

I can't believe I almost told him I loved him. Good thing I covered it up with the 'friend zone' card. I hated hiding my feelings from Cam. I told him everything, but this wasn't one of those things.

"Do you want to go into the tent?" He whispers, his breath tickling my neck, "you go and I will put out the fire" I nod and go into the tent, cocooning myself in our blankets. They smell like him. My god I know his scent? I can't believe it. This is just eating away at me. I have to tell him sooner or later, and if he says no we can still be friends, right? I don't know what I would do without him, and that's not just some cliché lovey dovey thing. Oh my god, what is this guy doing to my brain! I slap a hand over my face as Cam crawls into the tent. I open my cocoon, allowing him to enter.

For a while, we sit in silence waiting for something to say.

"Cam?" I break the awkward silence.

"What" why did I say this?

"I..I umm" I stutter. I can't pull the friend zone thing again.

"Just spit it out. I wouldn't leave you no matter what you say. I love you-" he cuts off suddenly, and I jump at his words. He can't mean it like that, could he?

"What?" I act like I didn't hear.

"I said I wouldn't leave you" he blushes, and he never blushes.

"Oh ok I thought you said I love you" I laughed nervously," anyway, I was going to say that I was...excited to be running away....with you" I give him a hint.

"Yeah I am too" he grabs my hand and we both fall asleep.
