Through The Dark (Camren)

Chapter 1: Welcome Home

Camila's POV

Finally we pull up to our new house. We've been here for like two hours and I already don't really like it here. Utah. Of all places, Utah. Even the name is boring. Why did my parents want to move all the way to Utah? Whatever, at least I don't have to go to school for another week.

"Mila wake up Sofi and help me with our bags."

"Ok mami" I gently shake my little sister Sofi and her eyes flutter open a little bit.

"Wake up baby girl we need to unpack."

"Mila my head hurts I don't want to get up. Carry me!"

"It's from the heat Sof, I can't carry you I'm already carrying your bags and mine. C'mon you can sleep in your new room."

She immediately sits up, rubs her eyes, stretches her arms out, and runs up to the house.

"Look Mila it's so big and pretty!"

I looked at the house and the scenery. It's medium sized, and it is pretty, but I don't know how to feel about this place.

I led Sofi up to her room on the second floor, just next to the stairs. Her room was pretty big for a six year old.

"Sofi do you think you'll be able to handle this big room all by yourself?"

As soon as I heard my dad's voice I walked out of the room without him noticing. I needed to find my room, an I didn't want to talk to him after what happened before we left Miami.

I found my room down the hall from Sofi's and looked around. It's much bigger than hers and painted completely white. That has to change. I put my bags down and sat on the mattress the movers had put down a few minutes before I came in here. After scrolling through Tumblr for an hour I finally fell asleep.

*Camila's Dream*

I put Sofi to bed and quietly walk back to my room. I lock the door and grab my last blade. "Just one last time..you're leaving in the morning. They can't hurt you anymore. Just one more time." I whispered to myself as I made 1,2,3,4,5,6 words form on my arm. I'm finally done. I smiled as I cleaned my fresh cuts and acknowledged the fact that I would no longer have to deal with Claire and her friends. "It's over. No more. I'm leaving tomorrow." I broke the blade and unlocked my door. I walk down the hall to throw the blade away outside and someone stops me. I wince at the rough contact of a forceful hand against my freshly mutilated arm.

"Where do you think you're going Camila?"

"Just for a walk papi. It's our last night here and I want to remember this night."

"What's in your hand?"

"Nothing papi just some trash I'm taking out."

"Why are you wearing a sweatshirt in the middle of August? Karla Camila Cabello let me see your arms."

He forcefully rolls my sleeves up and shakes his head at me. Tears fill my eyes and I feel some on my cheeks.

"I'm sorry papi, I had to before we left."

"No Karla. You didn't."

He pulled my sleeves back down and walked away. I walked outside to the street and threw away my blade. I felt someone's presence and turned around expecting it to be my father.

"C-Claire w-what are you doing here?"

I stuttered through my tears and the fear of seeing her in front of me, alone, at night.

"Poor little Camila can't even talk to me without stuttering. I came by to say bye to your sorry ass. I hear you're going to Utah or some shit, right? I'll miss kicking your ass."

With that she punched me in the stomach and walked away. I doubled over in pain and sat on the sidewalk crying for what seemed like days.

*End of Dream*

I woke up at 2:35 a.m. crying from my flashback of that night. I went on Twitter to distract myself, but of course there wasn't much to look at so I went on Tumblr. After about an hour of quietly laughing to myself I put my earbuds in and tried to go back to sleep. I was planning on looking around later so I should at least get a little but of sleep. After listening to every One Direction song I have, my eyelids felt heavy and I finally passed out.
