The Slide Boy

Twenty

Juliet POV

I can't believe I said that to him. Of course I don't blame him. Cameron has done everything he could to protect me. Its not his fault I'm in this mess, its mine. I should have listened to him when he said to leave him alone. I shouldn't have made him be my friend, and made him care for me. I shouldn't have forced myself into his life the way I did.
I went straight to the hotel to find him, but he wasn't there. I tried calling and texting him, but nothing. I even went to all of the parks in town, but I still couldn't find him. I didn't know where else he could be. I was about to give up, and just wait for him to show up when I thought of something. Cameron had installed an app on both our phones that let's us know where we are at all times. I quickly grabbed my phone and went to the app. Once I found out where he was, I grabbed my keys and ran out the hotel room.

"Come on, come on!" I muttered anxiously as I waited for the light to turn green. Once it did, I sped away. When I got to the building, I saw people around it, looking up. When I looked up, I gasped. You could faintly see someone standing over the edge. People were talking on the phone, calling the police probably.

"CAMERON!" I yelled, and ran to the entrance. This is all my fault. I caused this. I quickly entered the elevator, going to the roof. Once it binged, I climbed the stairs up to the roof. I could hear his sobs before I seen him. I could feel his pain, his fear, his regret.

"Cameron" my voice was slow and shaky. I was scared, I didn't know what I would do if he jumped. His sobs stopped, and he turned around slowly to look at me. His eyes widened in surprise as they landed on me.

"Juliet?" His voice was hoarse, and raspy. My heart broke at how sad he sounded, at how broken he looked. I longed to see his smile, to see the crease by his eyes when he grins, to see that cocky smirk he gives me, to hear his not-so-funny jokes and to listen to his contagious laugh.
I nodded, walking closer. "Sto-stop!" He yelled, holding his hands out to stop me. "I can't let you come closer! I-im going to jump." He cried, looking down at the pavement. Tears spilled out of my eyes, and I could faintly hear the police sirens in the background.

"Please, Cameron, don't!" I cried, holding my hands up to my chest. "Please don't leave me! Its not your fault, what happened isn't your fault! I don't blame you, I could never blame you. Talking to you was the best decision I ever made in my entire life! You make me so incredibly happy, Cameron. Nobody has ever made me as happy as you do. I-I love you Cameron. I love your flaws, your doubt's, your worries, every little thing about you I love. Please Cam, please don't jump, for me."

"You're just saying that!" He cried, glancing down at the ground below him. He took a deep breath. "I have nothing to live for, I have nobody." a sad smile fell in his face, and he whipped his tears away. "I'm all alone. I just need to jump, and the pain will go away." He looked back at the ground below him. Fear rushed through my veins and I shook my head no. I could see the red and blue lights pull up to the building. The cops were here, yet I didn't feel any relief.

"That's not true!" I yelled to him, "you have me, and you have the boys and Kayla! We all love you, Cameron please don't jump!" I took a step closer, and he let out another sob.

"Stop trying to convince me not to jump!" He yelled, more tears leaking from his eyes. My heart broke as I looked at how fragile he looked, at how much pain he was in. In this very moment, I knew that I loved him with every bone in my body, and if he dies I die. I can't live without him. I slowly walked over, and climbed onto the ledge. His eyes never left mine. "What-what are you doing?" He cried, confused. I grabbed his hand, squeezing it.

"I love you, Cameron Alexander Dallas, and if you jump, I jump."
