Taken

Abused(16)

Cam's POV

"I should get going... I'm sorry I did that and that happened Bec... Bye." I quietly tell her.

"Okay bye Cam and I'm sorry too" she reply's.

I grab my bag and grab her bedroom door knob and slowly turn it. I step out of her room and instantly regret not telling her anything about me wanting to help her.

I forget the thought for now and head down the stairs Shawn is sitting on the couch watching some stupid sports game on the TV. He realizes I'm there and turns the TV off.

"Hey man, did ya get Bec happy again?" Shawn asks me.

"Well her mind is definitely off the topic" I reply.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Shawn questions.

"Bye Shawn" I say instead of answering him. I open the door and step outside.

I walk across Shawn's lawn and back over to my house.

I notice my mom's car is in the driveway I bite my lip and slowly open my front door.

Just as I thought the scent of alcohol fills my nose. I try to quickly sprint up the stairs to my room but I get stopped.

"Cam get your worthless self over here!" My mother yells.

A single tear falls out of my eye as I go to into the living room. There my mother is sitting on the couch surrounded by dozens of bottles of alcohol.

"Where the hell were you!" She yells.

"I-I was just over at Shawn's house." I stutter.

"Sure you were! You were probably hanging around that girlfriend of yours! I don't know how she could ever like you! You're a screw up! All you are is a stupid unwanted mistake!" She angrily yells at me a slump down against the wall, the tears starting to come out more. When I suddenly start to become angry.

"For one Becca isn't my girlfriend she is my best friend and she loves me for who I am! I don't care if you hate me I don't even care you're my mother! Its not my fault you and dad got drunk and had me! Its not my fault dad died!" I scream back while standing up.

She comes towards me and slaps me I instantly shrink down again regretting what I said... it was my fault everything was my fault.

"Get out of my house you worthless rat and never come back again!" My mother yells.

I quickly stand up and run for the door just as I'm about to grab the door knob my mother throws a liquor bottle at me. It smashes into my ankle and I cry out in pain but regain my train of thought and twist the knob and sprint out of my house trying to ignore the intense pain in my ankle.

I run across the lawn and get to Shawn's house I smash on the door with my fist. A few tears slipping down my face. The door opens and I am met with Shawn's very surprised face. He helps me in and tells me to sit on the couch so I do.

I haven't even looked at my ankle yet but I know it can't be good. Slowly I look down to my ankle only to see a pool of blood around my leg. I look closer and see that there are still big chunks of glass stuck in it. Just as I am about to call for Shawn he comes back with tweezers, a towel, gauze bandages and wound wash.

He pulls up a stool without saying a word, he grabs my leg carefully, puts the towel on the pool of blood and starts pulling the glass out of the cuts while rinsing them at the same time. I bite my lip almost drawing blood the pain is horrible.

Soon Shawn is done pulling the glass out, he rinses my ankle one more time then starts applying the bandages. He wraps the tightly and once again without saying anything he picks the towel up off of the floor and leaves. After a minute he is back in the living room and I know what coming next... he's gonna want to know what happened.

"So... what happened back there?" Shawn asks.

"I came home mom was drunk again... she said things like she normally does but this time he words were way worse than they usually are and this time... she got abusive." I say choking up a few times while trying to explain.

"Cam if you need a place to stay you can always stay here with me and Becca, I don't think she is going to care if her best friend stays with us." Shawn offers.

I really shouldn't stay here I have a feeling that things are just going to get more awkward between Becca and I. Even though she wanted us to forget what happened I know that I never will and neither will she. But right now I have no other option I need a place to stay for a bit until I can get my life back in order.

"Thanks man, I think I need to take you up on that offer at least for a little while until I can rent an apartment, mom said to never go back home..." I say looking down.

"Okay hey you wanna watch TV or a movie to get your mind off everything?" Shawn asks.

"Yeah sure a movie sounds good" I reply.

"I'll go ask Becca if she wants to come down and watch the movie with us." Shawn reply's and instantly I get slightly panicked. What if she hates me now?
