Drabble Six - Cameron's POV

#6

~Cameron the Caterpillar 3rd person because...Who the hell knows what a caterpillar's brain's actually like?~

Cameron watched sadly from his home in the tree.

Granted, Cameron wasn't very smart, and he didn't really understand what Sean was saying, but he felt the despair, the love. He wanted so much to go back, to be petted in the sun from his owner while Sean quoted Shakespeare, even though it meant nothing to his ears. This life? The one he was living? It was empty. It was meaningless.

He was staying for the kids, if nothing else. His wife, Beatrix the Butterfly, she was unfaithful. He knew she was seeing Gary the Grasshopper behind his back. It hurt, but he expected it. They were nothing to each other. Nothing.

The forty of their kids, however, demanded both of their attention, and he couldn't go back.

"Daddy! Daddy! Mommy went out to go see Uncle Gary!" Camille the Caterpillar told him, her chubby caterpillar face scrunched up as she slowly made her way to her father. Cameron chuckled bitterly.

"Of course she did. Of course she did." Camille wandered off again, probably to eat some other leaf. He should really stop her, she was getting fat even by caterpillar standards.

But his mind was too caught up.

"I love you Sean! One day, we'll be together again!" He hoped with all his tiny butterfly heart.

But, in all its sadness and desperation, his voice was just a whisper on the breeze, and they would never see each other again...

At least, Cameron thought, his wings were still sexy. At least there was that...
