Lost (Chapter 11)

Cameron's POV

She pulled me to cell away from where everyone was sitting.

"You can't do this.". She said worriedly.

"What?". I said.

"You know that thing you do. I know you Cameron. Don't act like you like her an then just ignore her."

"Why do you think I would do that?"

"Because you always ignore Nate and Evan. When they first came here you were best friends...you've been pushing everyone away. You've been very...well I'm just going to say it, just plain mean and rude!

"Yeah ok whatever. You're not my Mother. You never will be. So stop trying.". I didn't even stay to see her reaction to that. I just stormed up the metal stairs and dove onto my bed. She doesn't understand I've lost too many people in my life not to push new ones away. I didn't want to think about it any longer. So I pulled myself out of bed and went over to my stock pile of books. I picked one that I never read before and jumped onto my bed and opened the book. Then I started to lose myself in another world, just like I hoped.

Jordan's POV

He squeezed my hands and then walked away. I touched my cheek. It was red hot. I let out a long sigh and looked over to Evan and Nate. Evan saw me looking smiled, waved then gave me the finger. I smiled, blew a kiss and stuck up two. Nate "oooohhhhhhh" then Evan punched his arm. I rolled my eyes and found Melanie. She was in her little group of friends and I walked toward her.

"Hey Melanie! Did you eat anything? How was your day?"

"Good. I ate some chicken noodle soup and it was so good!"

"That's good. Who are your friends here?". I smiled.

"This is Michael..." she pointed to a boy that looked like an exact replica of Cameron.

"Hi Michael I'm Jordan!". I put my hand up for a high five.

"Hi Jordan!" he smiled.

"And this is Jay and Brooke"

She pointed to a little boy with curly, dirty blonde hair and a girl with wavy, red hair with freckles. They were all about 8-10 years old.

"Hey guys!". I gave them both high fives. They both returned the gesture.

"Well guys it's getting a little late do you want me to take you guys up to bed?"

"Awwwww-". Melanie was cut off by Kim.

"I can take them. So they can play a little longer. You can go up if you would like."

"Is that ok with you Mels?". I said.

"Yes yes yes!!"

"ok ok ok!!!"

I hugged her tight and buried my face in her hair.

"Goodnight Melanie. I love you and please stay up there until some one wakes you up. ok?"

"Ok J. I love you too. Goodnight!". She kissed my cheek and ran off with her friends.

I sighed and started walking up the stairs to my cell. I started walking in when I saw a faint light coming from Cameron's cell. I walked too his cell to find him reading. He was sitting on his bed with his dark hair falling loosely over his for head and the faint light from the lantern gently lighting up his face. His lips were pursed in concentration, I was practically drooling.

I was about to say something when I was cut off by the sight of all of the books in the corner. "Oh. My. Gosh! Cameron! Where did you get all of these books from?!?". I yelled while running over to the pile. His head snapped into my direction.

"HEY! Get out. Don't touch those.". He said while getting out of the bed.

I picked up The Hunger Games and To Kill a Mockingbird. Then I saw The Witch of Blackbird Pond. Tears stung my eyes at the memories behind these books. I acted oblivious to his orders.

"I told you not to touch anything. Get. Ou-". He stopped talking when he saw the books in my hands.

"So...How many times have you read these books? These are my favorite.". I smiled and held up The Witch of Blackbird Pond.

"I remember reading this with my seventh grade class and-"

"Everyone hated it except for you?". he finished my sentence and smiled.

"I thought I was the only one who enjoyed it too. I appreciate the old English." he said. I almost fell over.

"Some one understands me!!!" I yelled. He laughed at my reaction.

I grabbed a bunch of books and jumped on his bed.

"Uh...What are you doing?"

"I'm going to talk to you about books." I said while looking through the pile of books that I brought on the bed.

He shrugged and jumped after me. We talked for at least two hours about books. I loved every second of it. After a while we heard Nate and Evan go straight into their rooms and go to bed.

After I got tired of talking I rested my head on Cameron's chest and started reading To Kill a Mocking Bird. I looked up to see what Cam was reading and he was already looking at me. I felt my cheeks heat up. I quickly looked back down at my book.

I watched the words on the page of my book get fuzzy and soon enough I fell asleep.
