I'll Protect You

Chapter 3

•Cameron's POV•

I think Kaley was starting to notice the buzz everyone was having the past few weeks. We were all preparing for a big surprise. I set it up. She was going to love it.

Text:Kaley

Hey babe, gonna be home soon. xx

Text:Cameron

Okay, see you soon. Hurry! xx

I was so excited! I heard Jailee's car pull up and jumped for joy. "This is it!" I thought to myself.

Kaley walked in and I embraced her in a big, bear hug. Then as I let go she was surprised with five more. YES!!! I got Louis, Harry, Zayn, Liam, and Niall to come! The only problem was that Kaley didn't look happy and excited. She ran to our room and I dashed after her. I caught her wrist in the hallway and stopped her.

"Kaley, what's wrong?" I sounded a little angrier than I wanted.

"Why?" that was all she said.

"Why what?" I responded.

"Why did you invite them here? Why are they here?"

"I thought you would want to see them." I said.

She walked into our room and sat in the bed. I sat next to her with my arm around her.

"I overreacted." She said in a low voice.

I didn't know how to reply.

"Please Cameron, say something." She begged.

"I want you to be happy all the time. So, I invited the boys to see you. They are gonna stay with us. I thought you would be excited." I got out of my lungs.

"I am." She smiles faintly.

"Good, do you want to go say a proper greeting now?"

Kaley nods and we head back to the living space. She says hellos and we sit talking for hours. It is great. Everyone catches up. Then I look over at Louis. His face is grim and I know why. He doesn't like that I am dating his baby sister. Typical older brother. Kaley must see this too, because she looks at me and gives a look that tells me to shake it off.

The five boys are spread out over two rooms. Louis and Harry are in one, while Zayn, Liam, and Niall share the other. Since it is late we all prepare for bed. I get under my warm covers and wait for Kaley. She comes in and cuddles close to my shirt-less body.

At about midnight I sneak out for some air. After being out for no more than ten minutes I hear a horrific scream. I sprint as fast as humanely possible to the bedroom. I hold Kaley in my arms and rock back and forth. She was at the point of tears. The only problem, she can never remember the nightmare after it occurs. It is as if she is unable to sleep without someone protecting her. After she is calmed, I get her some water and we lie down. She soon drifts off but I lay awake for hours. I can't sleep. It is impossible. There is way to much going through my head. Must stay awake. Then, tiredness wins and I fall into a light sleep.

-2 weeks later-

Louis and the boys have been here for about 14 days. I can tell they are enjoying it. They wake up every morning to hot coffee and smiling faces. Louis and Harry have been trying to convince Kaley to let the paps in on our relationship. I know she is worried. I personally want to announce that I have met the love of my life. I really don't like when she starts saying that we might not be each others true sole mate and stuff, but I guess I will get to prove her wrong later.

"Trust me Kal, this will be good. You can be heard and maybe introduce your singing career." Louis sayed.

Kaley's constant head shaking in disagreement proved that I must step in.

Kaley, it will be good. We won't have to hide wherever we go."

She gives me a strange look and gives in. Yep, all because of my fabulous opinion.

Right then we go outside holding hands and see paparazzi. They flag us down and start asking questions left and right. All we are able to confirm is that we are a couple, then we are dragged back inside.

"That was crazy!" I say excitedly.

" Too crazy." Kaley mumbles.

It takes no time at all to see our faces plastered all over the media. There are newspaper adds, television and radio broadcasts, and online stories. On Facebook there were new pages saying, "I ship Camey!" Camey? Why Camey? What kind of ship name is Camey?

Later, Kaley went for a walk. I was inside in our room. Out of nowhere I hear loud screams coming from outside. I run to the front of the house, "What happened?!" I yell.

"Hurry, hurry, call an ambulance!" Jailee hollered.

Louis, Harry, Liam, and Niall ran to the street. I grabbed Zayn by the arm and he knew why.

"It's Kaley, she...she was hit by a car..." He trails off.

I know on my face is the look of complete horror. I don't want to cry in front of the guys, but I can't help it. I start tearing up and run to the vehicle. We rush to the ER and go to where they have Kaley. I look in and see her. She looks awful. She is bleeding and bruised.

"We don't know if she's going to make it." the doctor says starring at me.

"No, no you must be mistaken. I-I need her." I say barely audible.

I know I'm going to lose it. I walk out of the room. How am I going to live without her? I need her. I should have been with her. I should have protected her. She would have protected me.
