Metanoia.

Chapter:16

I woke up to the ruffling of a candy rapper. Leave it to Cameron to eat M&M's at 7 am.

"Want some?" He asked when he saw me awake and offered the bag.

"No thanks.." I sighed and ran my hands through my hair. God, it just occurred to me that I won't be Here by this time tomorrow.

"But.. You're making the M&ms sad.." He pouted.

"Cameron I'm not worried about eating M&M's right now.. Please just try to think about more serious issues for once?" I felt bad for freaking out on him but, right now I'm to stressed to worry about this. I'm also, weak and tired.

"Sorry babe, It's just I try to change the subject with touchy things.." He sighed deeply.

The word babe. Hm, I used to hate that word with a passion but, when it's coming from the person you love it just sounds perfect, And when they say that word it also, becomes perfect.

"No I'm sorry for freaking out on you." I smiled and calmed down.

"We need to know exactly what we're doing tomorrow." Cameron said suddenly getting serious.

To this day I still, believe he is Bipolar.

"First, when I get permission to go home me and you will leave going into the car you rented. Then, we will drive back to my.. Whatever she is. I still don't know if she kidnapped me or not.. But, we will drive to my old home for answers. Then, after me and you get answers we will get my stuff and your stuff and leave and never return, we will leave our past behind us." I let out a long breath of air, man that was a mouth full.

"Sounds, like a plan first thing tomorrow we will follow through with it." He smiled and continued to eat his M&M's this time I take some without his permission.

****

The doctors told me I can go home. It was five am and me and Cameron were just realizing what we were doing. This whole thing we're doing sounds like a Cliche' novel written by Nicholas Sparks. Not that I don't love Nicholas Sparks.. But, his books aren't reality.

This is reality.

"Were really doing this huh?" Cameron suddenly asked and looked at me with nervousness.

"Cam, you don't have to do this.." I trailed off.

"I know, but I want to." He gave me a very convincing smile.

"Alright, is the car ready outside?" I asked.

"Mhm, let's go." He said as he picked me up ragdoll style. I take back what I said about the Nicholas sparks novel.

"Well thanks for the warning! Not.." I mumbled.

"Yeah, Yeah." He put me down in the seat next to his in the car. "I'm driving." He sat down and started the engine.

This was going to be a long trip "Home"

****

Five hours, and a bunch of gas trips later we finally arrived. I twisted the gold band on my ring finger breathing nervously. I was scared as hell and nothing could stop me from being nervous.

"It will be okay." Cameron took my hand and gave me a peck on the lips.

Except for that.

"What if.. She..Tells me more lies? What if... Nobody really knows the truth..What if-" He cut me off.

"The worst that can happen is she lies, and if she does then me and you leave and never look back." He smiled as we took a step to the front door.

I knocked lightly on the door and the person who raised me opened it. Her eyes were red and puffy, her cheeks were stained with mascara, her hair was a rats nest, and she smells like she hasn't showered in days.

She never looked like this in my entire life of living.

"Vivian! Oh my gosh! I was so worried, I thought you were kidnapped-" I suddenly cut her off.

"Oh like when you kidnapped me?" I asked with an attitude.

Her eyes widened when I spat that out. "Vivian, please let me explain! I have reasons..You would understand if I explained.." Tears were now streaming down her face.

"Fine, that's what I'm here for anyway. Answers and answers only." There was a scoff on my face.

"Alright, come in.." She opened the door as Cameron was silent walking in with me. "When, you were about one years old, me and your father knew this very nice couple. Which are your..Real parents.. We knew them for a while but, then they started to act weird. The father was always drunk and the wife started to come around with marks all over her so me and your father assumed that the husband was hurting the wife. Then, the dad hit you one day with a fly swatter.. In front of me and your father. We got into a huge fight with then your father put your real father into the hospital. The wife stood quiet. She started to notice that me and your father were more around you all the time and the wife didn't like that we started to see what went on so, after a few months of seeing this all your mother tried to poison you but, of course I stopped her. Me and your father then realized it wasn't safe for you here so, one day we took you and never looked back and we moved here, changed your name, and started a whole new life." She took a deep breath sniffling.

Wow. This is a lot to take in but, at the same time it all makes sense. She tried to poison me twice but, why? Why does she even want me back just to kill me? It all is just crazy.

"Wow.." Is all I could say.

"You understand right?" She asked.

"I do, but mom.. You could of just told me of keeping it a secret for years, I thought we trusted each other.." I said with a hurt tone of voice.

"Listen, I wanted to but, it was all just hard..." She sighed.

"Vivian, I understand what your mother did... We can't just leave her now..We have to stay..We can go back to school Viv.." Cameron suddenly said.

"I know..But, what if they come back to get me mom?" I asked scared.

"Which is why were moving." She said. "I have everything packed and ready to go now we just have to drive." She said.

"I know this is a crazy question just don't ask why but, can Cameron come?" I asked.

"But..His parents.." I cut her off.

"His parents are dead and his aunt doesn't give a crap about him so, we have nothing to worry about and by the way he is now my boyfriend." I said.

"Well..I'm gonna need to ask some things later but, for now we need to leave." She got up taking a few boxes and we all got into the car.

Getting ready to leave forever.
