Mr.you

Camilla

I stay in the hotel room i don't eat anything but a yogurt and i drink lots of beer and wine. I don't bother to hide that i have been crying. People give me dirty looks. I grow smaller everyday. Memories of Ashton haunt my thoughts. I often wonder whether he's looking for me or whether he is over it. And if he just was doin his job. Often officer reynolds has called me leaving pitying voicemails. I am done. Done with everything and i can't take the looks and blame anymore. As i walk out of my hotel room in a pair of pink shorts and a white tank top. Mrs.reynolds gives me a dirty look. I crumble a bit more inside. I continue on to where theres a stage in the middle of the town where you can see everything. I walk up there taking the microphone, people stare at me with disgusted looks. I take a deep breath turning the microphone in, i bleed out how i feel. "Look here i am a human being you guys were supposed to be my family, but look how quickly you turn your backs" everyones gazes grow confused. " I am not to blame for the accident, i have been through hell and back, and you all were supposed to be there, but you weren't. Your cowards just like my mom." I take a deep breath spotting Ashton in the back. " i crumble each and everyday a little more, i have lost my light all because you guys blame me. But haven't you ever put the blame with the person who deserves it?; my mom she wasn't there, she didn't save me" i run the long jagged scar going down my neck. " i am lucky i got out, it made me realize just how much ya'll are blinded, guess what." I stand up straighter and stare at all the faces of all the people gathered around the stage. "My own mother enjoys me being hurt, she rejects me, and so do you. I've died inside because you guys can't grow a pair of balls and stand up for what is right. That night when i got cut down the neck with the knife of my captor my mom laughed in my face. You all shunned me out assuming it was all my fault, but really it was all of yours because you were to blind to notice i was... Am slipping away slowly day by day." With that said i drop the microphone on the stage and i stare at everyone. They stare back at me. Blame isn't in their eyes, fear and love is. Mrs. Reynolds walks onto stage grabbing he microphone. "She's right we have blamed it on her, but it's not her fault we needed to support her then and we need to now so lets stand up for ourselves we can't be cowards just because we fear we have lost her. We need to help her find her joy again." She puts the microphone down gently walking over to hugs me as people gather on the stage. The people move throughout the line hugging me and telling me not to slip away fully, and that i can still be saved.

The next person up is Ashton. My heart picks up and guilt nags at me. He looks at me with a smoldering gaze. "I love you Camilla i just haven't had the guts to say it. And i really do love you" then without waiting for me to respond he kisses me deeply not bothered by the crowd, which cheers erupt from.

I pull away laying my forehead against his. "I love you too and i was a coward to run away, guess i am like my mom." He look me in the eyes tilting my chin up to where i am looking straight in his eyes. "You are nothing like your mother" then he kisses me again putting my body against him. It's like a little part of me is back because i can finally smile.
