Homecoming Pt. 1

Cam 113

"Is it my baby?" I asked as soon as we got in the basement, the next thing I knew I had a hand coming towards my face as Liberty smacked fire outta me. I took a step back and looked in her eyes, she was the only person that could get away with smacking me like that. I rubbed my face and thought about the mark I was going to have on my face tomorrow.... light skinned problems, that thought almost made me smile.

"Are you fucking stupid Camden?" Liberty asked putting one hand on her hip and cocking her head to the side, and she was the only person besides my parents allowed to get away with calling me Camden, damn she was sexy when she was mad. "I asked you a question Camden are.... you.... stupid?" She asked slowly, I smirked and could tell she was getting pissed.

"I'm sorry, I just...... and you weren't talking to me...... I thought that......" I stuttered, Liberty punched me in the chest and I took another step back. The fire that was usually in my chest wasn't there, it was never there when I was with her. "Why didn't you tell me?" I asked quietly.

"Because honestly I wasn't going to keep it, as soon as the baby was born I was giving it up for adoption. I couldn't go through what we went through with CJ again." Liberty said with tears in her eyes looking into my soul, there it was the box that I swore never to open sitting in front of us. I knew this was a critical point in our relationship, if we were ever going to fix us then I had to open that box full of bad memories and heartache.

"Were you ever going to tell me?" I asked.

"No.... after CJ died you acted like you didn't even care, I didn't think you would care about this one. I didn't even want to know the sex of the baby, I didn't want to  have any type of connections to it." She said wiping her beautiful face.

"I wouldn't care....... you really think I wouldn't care about my baby?" I asked hurt.

"THEN WHY HAVEN'T YOU CRIED OVER CJ?" Liberty yelled at me and just like that the fire in my body was ignited.

"I FUCKING CRY ALL THE DAMN TIME LIBERTY! I'M ALWAYS FUCKING CRYING WHEN NO ONE IS AROUND, THE ONLY REASON I NEVER CRIED IN FRONT OF YOU WAS BECAUSE ONLY ONE OF US COULD BREAK DOWN, IF WE BOTH LET IT GET TO US THEN WE PROBABLY WOULD'VE STARTED BLAMING EACH OTHER...... THAT WAS MY FUCKIN SON TOO SO DON'T EVER FOR A SECOND THINK I DIDN'T CARE I WAS JUST TRYING TO BE STRONG FOR US! I...... I'M SO SICK OF CRYING LIBERTY, YOU DON'T KNOW, YOU JUST DON'T FUCKIN KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I'VE WOKE UP AND WANTED TO JUST JUMP IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPEN, YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I'VE STARTED FIGHTS JUST HOPING THAT SOMEONE WOULD KILL ME SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS PAIN! I'M SORRY..... I should've told you all of this sooner." I said falling to my knees. "I'm sorry for everything I've put you through." I cried, Liberty walked over to me and put her arms around me.

"It's okay Camden.... I'm sorry too I should've talk to you about it instead of pulling away." She said kissing me. We sat like that for an hour just crying I felt everything I've been holding back washing away with each tear that fell. Hopefully now we can get back to a good place in our relationship.

When Khalil, Enzo, and the dude Zyshaun all walked out back a part of me wanted to follow them but I could feel the tension between them was already thick enough without my added influence. So I decided to keep myself preoccupied I tried to help in the kitchen but Marcus and Cam's moms kicked me out and told me they had it, I walked in the living room where Cadence was talking on Khalil's house phone (who had a house phone anymore), Legacy was sitting next to Marsean playing the game, Tonya and Marcus were whispering to each other (probably talking about Zyshaun), my dad was sitting in Khalil's chair with my youngest sister Carly sleep on his chest, Cam was in the basement with his girl...... I couldn't talk on my phone since Khalil still had it in his pocket. I walked up to my room and laid across my bed, might as well take a nap since I didn't get any sleep last night. I closed my eyes and my door opened I glanced up excepting either Cam or Legacy but was surprised to see my dad standing there, I jumped up and looked at him.
