People Aren't What They Seem

EIGHT

"What did Shawn do?" I ask as I sit next to her.

"We can't be friends anymore" She says.

"Wait what?" I say shocked.

"Shawn said I have to choose between you or him and I'm sorry but his my boyfriend Gracie, please understand, he wants to keep me away from Cameron" She says.

"You're kidding right?" I say trying to hold back my anger.

"I'm sorry" she shakes her head.

"Fuck you Caitlyn, I thought we were friends" I snap.

I rush up the stairs to grab everything I have before waking Cam up since he fell back to sleep.

"Come on, we are going home" I say angrily.

"Wait what happened?" He asked.

"It doesn't matter. Just get in my car" I say.

We make our way out to my car and climb in. I slam my door shut and start the car.

*10 Minutes Later*

I open my door and let Cam in before I walk in slamming the door behind me.

"Fucking bitch" I scream before I break down.

"Gracie, what's wrong?" Cam asks.

"I hate her, she fucking chose her boyfriend over her best friend" I scream.

"Baby girl calm down" Cam whispers as he pulls me into his chest.

I let out a small whimper as I hug Cam tightly.

"She was my best friend" I cry against his chest.

"Shhh baby, everything's okay, I've got you" Cam whispers against my forehead.

Cam lifts me up, carrying me to my room.

He places me on the bed before he goes to shut the door.

"Sweetie is Grace okay?" I hear my mum ask Cam.

"Yeah she's okay, I'm sure she'll let you know later" Cam says before shutting the door.

He walks over to my bed and climbs in next to me before pulling me close to him.

"You don't have to tell me right now but when you're ready I'm here to listen" Cam murmurs.

I nod my head as I look at him.

"Cam" I say softly.

"Yeah?" He asks.

"Thank you" I mumble before closing my eyes.

*4 Months Later*

I sigh as I pull into my driveway. Just as I park I get a message from Cameron.

We are now officially a couple and we have been going really well. Cameron still is quite depressed but he refuses to get help and he refuses to tell anyone about his abusive step dad.

I unlock my phone and click on my messages. I tap on Cam's message and I'm immediately freaking out.

''Baby I'm so so sorry" the first message reads.

"You'll be okay, it's better off this way" After reading the text I immediately try calling.

No answer.

I try again.

No answer.

I start my car back up before I dial 911.

"911 what's your emergency?" The lady says.

"Hello, um my boyfriend is trying to kill himself" I cry through the phone as I speed towards his house.

"Ma'am please stay calm, what is his address?" She asks.

After I give her the address I've already reached his house.

"Help is on the way" she says.

I hang up and run into his house leaving his door open. I run to his bedroom first, no sign of him.

I then run to his bathroom and twist the door handle. He wasn't smart enough to lock it.

I open the door to see Cam leaning against the bathtub. Pills in his hand and cuts all up his arms.

"Cam" I gasp as I wrap my arms around him.

"You weren't supposed to come here" He drowsily says.

"Cam baby stay with me" I say as I shake him trying to keep him awake.

I hear sirens as his eyes begin to close. I shake him again as tears roll down my cheeks. I hear footsteps running up the stairs.

"I'm sorry" He whispers before his eyes shut.

Just then the paramedics take him from my arms. It's all a blur as they put him on the stretcher and take him into the ambulance. I climb into the ambulance my shirt stained from Cameron's blood.

I feel sick. I should have been there. He said his been struggling but I didn't realise how much. When we reach the ambulance I rush in after Cam.

Once he goes through the double doors of the Emergency room a nurse takes me to the waiting room. I sit and nervously wait. I text Ethan and Grayson because I need someone right now.

After about 5 minutes Ethan and Grayson rush into the waiting room. As soon as I look at them a sob escapes my lips.

"Gracie" Ethan mumbles before he wraps his arms around me.

I cry into his chest as I hold onto him tightly.

after a few minutes I let him go and look at the twins.

"I'm gonna call my mom and get her to bring me a change of clothes" I sniffle.

"I'll do it, you stay here with Ethan" Grayson sympathetically smiles before leaving the room.

"I can't lose him" I say as I shake my head.

"He will be fine, I promise" Ethan says as he wraps his arm around me.

"What if his not?" I ask as I look at Ethan.

"Don't think about that" Ethan says.

a few minutes later Grayson returns to the room.

"She will be here in a bit" Grayson says as he sits next to me.

"Grace?" I hear the familiar voice that belongs to Cam's mom.

"Gina" I whimper before standing up and rushing to hug her.

after a bit she lets go and holds onto my hand. I notice the tears rolling down her cheeks and the worry in her eyes.

"Gracie, I have a date with Kaylah I have to get ready for but Ethan is going to stay here with you, call me if you need anything and I mean anything" Grayson says.

I nod before giving him a hug mumbling a 'thank you' as he lets go.

I sit back down and lean my head on Ethan's shoulder as I hold onto Gina's hand tightly.

*1 Hour Later*

I open my eyes as I hear the door open.

"Family of Cameron Dallas" The doctor says.

Gina, Ethan and I stand up and make our way to the doctor.

"How is he?" I ask.

The doctor looks at us for a moment before opening his mouth to speak.
