Rhiannon: Chapter 6

VANESSA'S VIEW

I ran my hand through my hair and sat down, how brilliant! I should have kept my legs closed when I was younger, I would have preffered Trey to have been Amelle's dad because I know I've now messed up Cameron's family and what would Tamara do? How am I supposed to tell Amelle? Either way it was going to be difficult. The front door opened and the sounds of her and her two friends laughing entered the house, they all came upstairs and Amelle popped her head around the door.

'Mum...are you alright?' She said and looked at me in concern, I nodded and wiped a fresh tear away. What would Omar be thinking about his little sisters ways? Amelle sat next to me and put her arm around my shoulder.

'Mum whatever it is you can tell me you know, are you in trouble?'

'No Amelle, I'm fine go with your friends please.'

'But I can see you're not okay and I'm not leaving until you tell me what's going on.'

'Amelle PLEASE leave me alone, I'm not in the mood for this.'

'You're worrying me now.'

'There is nothing to be worried about! Now please go away you're starting to annoy me.' She kissed her teeth and walked out of the room, I would have slapped her but I couldn't be bothered. I put my shoes on and walked over to the mirror, I understood exactly why Trey and everyone else thought of me as a hoe. They had every right to and I'd just lived up to my name. I put a jacket on since my top was a bit revealing and got into my car. I took a deep breath and rested my head on the steering wheel for a while all I wanted was for somebody to act as Amelle's father figure and now Trey knew, I knew for a fact he'd already told Cameron and I needed to justify my reasons. I started up the car and drove as fast as I could to Cameron's. Once I got there I got out and knocked on the door until he opened it,

'Cameron I'm-' He grabbed my arm and pulled me inside, closing the front door behind him he pulled me with him into the front room and closed the door. The atmosphere was tense and silent. I could tell he was trying to hold back his anger and I knew my voice would just provoke him so I remained silent.

'Why did you lie?' He said quietly. I didn't know how to answer that, because I loved Trey? I wanted him to be the dad? He didn't love me back so I used it against him?

'I-I don't know.'

'Why the fuck are you stutterin? You know why you lied so just tell me init.' By now he'd turned to face me with his jaw and fists clenched.

'I wanted Trey to be the dad...I was sure it was him.'

'But its not him isit?'

'Well no-'

'WELL THEN WHY THE FUCK DID YOU LIE? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU'VE DONE?!'

'It wasn't just me Cameron!'

'YOU COULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING SOONER, TAMARA IS 7 MONTHS PREGNANT AND YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU COULDN'T HAVE FOUND OUT SOONER OR BETTER YET KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!' Another tear rolled down my cheek as I looked at him not knowing what to say or do.

'Cameron...I'm really sorry.' He sat down on the sofa and put his head in his hands, I didn't want to move any closer to him just incase he flipped out at me.

'You bess keep this to yourself Vanessa you think I want Tamara knowing Amelle is my daughter? Or anyone else for that matter.'

'I will, I promise.' He kissed his teeth and screwed me.

'Your promises don't mean shit, I'm not asking you I'm TELLING you to keep your mouth shut because I will fuck you up, understand?' I nodded and he stood up pushing me out of the house he slammed the door shut in my face and I let out a deep sigh. Why was everything falling apart? I didn't want to tell Amelle that Cameron was her dad just yet, so I had to let her think Trey was the dad for a while longer just until Cameron said I could. I'd already ruined things for him so it was about time I'd kept my mouth shut or maybe I should leave a hint with Tamara?
