Ali's P.O.V
I ran into school on Friday morning in a really good mood. I was excited, I had some big news that I had to tell Cameron and I just couldn't hold it in any longer. I didn't even bother going to my locker I ran straight to the place I knew he'd be, the cafeteria
After reaching the cafeteria, I stood at the doors looking for Cameron but I couldn't find him. I thought it was weird, Cameron's always in school before me and he's normally always in the same place.
I texted his phone but got no reply. I began to think maybe he wasn't coming into school today because he was maybe sick but I decided to check the outdoor eating area. I walked outside and seen Cameron sitting on a bench on his own
"Baby I have some really great news and I can't wait to tell you" I smiled excitedly as I stood beside him at the bench
Cameron turned to me with an emotionless face and bloodshot eyes. He didn't look himself and in fact he looked like he had been crying
"Baby what's wrong" I asked worryingly as I sat down beside him
"My dads dead" he said as he turned to me slightly
I couldn't believe what he had just said. The man who we help put away to prison just a few short weeks ago is dead "Cameron I... I don't know what to say" I said as I placed a hand over my mouth which immediately fell to my lap again
"He killed himself Ali. All the time he spent alone and he couldn't spend one month alone in prison for his wrong doings" he said with anger clear in his voice
"Baby I'm so sorry" I said as I placed a hand in his back
"For what? He was never a real father" he said
"But he was still your dad cam and I know that despite everything that he did, you loved him" I said.
Cameron immediately broke down crying. I pulled him into a hug and kissed his head repeatedly. I didn't know what to do or say, I just knew that I had to be there for him. Cameron would never admit this to anybody but for the short time that he was in his life, Michael was Cameron's whole world and in every aspect he wanted to be like him
"The police rang my mom this morning and she told me when I got downstairs to have breakfast. I didn't know where to go and I didn't want to seem upset about it in front of my mom, so I left the house and came here" he spoke as he held my hand in his messing with my fingers
"So what happened now, will there be a funeral?" I asked as I draped one leg over one of his legs and played with his hands
"I presume my grandma will take care of all of that stuff" he said looking at our intwined hands
"Are you going to go to it?" I asked kissing his tear stained cheek
"If I do will you come with me" he asked turning to face me for the first time since he told me the news
"Of course I will. Anything you need just let me know, okay?" I said to which nodded his head
I cupped his cheek with one of my hands and gently kissed his lips. I pulled away and wiped his eyes with my hand and kissed his lips one more time.
We were sat in the bench for nearly an hour just talking until we were interrupted by a teacher yelling at us from the school doors. I had almost forgot that we were in school and that classes had started a long time ago
"You two get inside now and make your way to the principals office, you should be in class" he yelled. I got up off the bench while Cameron stayed where he was, I told him that I would explain to the teacher what happened and I would be right back
I told the teacher what had happened and he understood but he said that we either had to go home or go to class. I walked back to Cameron and he surprisingly decided to stay in school
"You can go home if you want to, I'll go with you" I offered as he stood up from his seat
"No I don't want to go home, just don't leave me" he said picking up his bag
"Cam we don't have many classes together" I said
"No I know but when we can be together, will you stay with me" he asked
"Do you even have to ask" I smiled. He smiled back and I grabbed his hand. Fortunately we have the next two classes together so we walked together after getting our books.
I spent as much time as I could with Cameron and he was doing really well. He participated in class and socialised at lunch. It was the end of the school day and I was in my last class without Cameron. As soon as the bell rang I left the room and made my way to Cameron's locker
"Want me to come over, I have no homework so I can spend some time with you" I smiled
"Yeah sure if you don't mind, I'll see you in a bit baby" he replied shutting his locker and kissing my lips
I drove to Cameron's house and once I got there I was greeted at the door by Gina. "Ali sweetie, hi how are you" she smiled letting me in
"I'm good, I'm sorry to hear about Michael, how are you" I asked as I pulled away from a hug
"Oh I'm fine sweetie, shocked but I'll be okay. It's Cameron I'm worried about" she sighed as we walked into the kitchen
"He will be fine, I'm going to look after him" I smiled setting my bag on the ground beside Cameron's
"Thank you Ali. He's upstairs in his room already, you can go on up" she smiled as she walked into the living room
I made my way upstairs and to Cameron's room. He was lying in bed on his phone with the t.v playing in the background. As soon as he seen me he smiled and pulled one side of the blanket up so I could get in. I took off my shoes and climbed in beside him, snuggling up to his side.
"Thank you for coming over" he smiled turning to me
"It's no problem" I smiled.
He kissed my lips multiple times "love you" he whispered
"Love you" I smiled as I kissed his lips one last time.
