Marriage with 'The Beast'

Chapter 26 - It's yours.

"How did this happen?" I whispered after I overcame the shock.

He stepped closer to me before I saw the anger in his eyes flare up again. "She was on her way to see me when she tripped down the stairs, or something. I... I'm not sure how this happened! It's all my fault!" He looked angry yet helpless. I wanted to reach out and hug him, to tell him that everything was going to be okay. 

He didn't let me comfort him as he turned towards the door. I could hear it too, Cam's soft cries. 

Mason swung the door open and stepped in and I saw the tears well up in his eyes as he saw Cam cry against Scott's chest. I decided to stay near the door. I didn't know her well enough to intrude at a time like this. "I can't believe it, Scott. Our angel's gone." She mumbled tearing herself away from him for a second to look at her stomach before crying louder. 

I stayed in the hallway outside the room and slumped to the ground. I was just about to go and tell Cam that she should break it off with Scott. That it would be better for her child. But, I couldn't possibly do that now! At this point, she's going to need Scott to heal after something so traumatic. How much suffering could a woman take? Tears rolled down my face as I tried to picture her reaction. 

My body stayed on the ground curled up with my head resting on my knees when I heard hurried steps heading down the hall. I didn't pay attention to it until I heard Vanessa, "Sarah?" She sat beside me. I pulled my head up to look at her as I felt her reading my face, probably noticing the dried tears on my face. 

My voice was raspy with emotion, "Camilla lost her baby." 

Vanessa's eyes bulged a little before she masked her emotions and ran her fingers through my hair. "That's horrible." She whispered softly. 

I noticed Tyson tower above us before he walked away disappearing behind a wall. "I was going to tell her. About Scott." I murmured, resting my head on her shoulders, feeling a sudden weakness succumb me. 

"You were?" She asked soothingly. I nodded, closing my eyes. "...But you feel like you can't anymore, right?" 

I nodded one again, "I can't. Not anymore. She needs him now. I can tell that she loves him. He's using her for her money, but she's happy. Isn't that all that matters?" 

"I guess. But if I was being used by a man. I would want you to tell me. No matter what I was going through. I'm sure Camilla feels that same way." She mumbled softly, but seriously. 

"Yeah, I know but I'm... scared," I admitted. 

"I know," she sighed. 

We stayed on the ground for a while before I saw Scott come through the room's door. My body tensed as I noticed him watching me, but he didn't say anything as he saw my sister and walked away. Vanessa clenched her jaw, "I hate the man so much. I just want to go and yell at him." She whispered as Tyson came. 

"I'm not sure how much help we're going to be." He admitted, "Maybe we should just give our condolences and leave."

Vanessa nodded, before looking at me "hun, you look tired too. Come with us." I agreed. 

I stood up straight with difficulty, my legs felt numb. I hadn't realized how long I'd been on the ground. We walked in and I looked at the ground because I could feel both, Mason's and Cam's eyes on me. Tyson and Vanessa said how sorry they were before I finally look up at Cam. 

I shook my head, "I can't imagine what you must be going through Cam," I didn't know what else to say. What do you say at a moment like this? "I-I'm just so sorry that this happened to you."
