Causing Civil War

Chapter 14

"Mia!" I fly into the hospital screaming my sister's name.

I reach her room and I'm blocked by three security guards. I fight against them trying to get into the room.

"That's my sister in there you bastards!" I scream at them trying to claw my way out of their grasp.

I see past them onto the bed and see a blanket over my sister's entire body. I knew that it only meant one thing. My sister was gone. I scream at the top of my lunges as all the emotions hit me at once. I feel my legs go limp and I melt onto the floor. Tears stream down my face and I choke on my own breath. A nurse brings a chair and security lifts me into it. My vision blurs and I cry feeling as if the world had just come crashing down around me. I start hyperventilating feeling my heart rate rise. The doctor walks over and kneels down in front of my shooing away the nurses that were hovering over me.

"Ms. Cameron are you alright?" he asks.

"Do I look alright to you!" I bark at him.

"I'm so sorry," he sat down next to me.

"How did she die?" I inquire.

"Her heart stopped and we couldn't resuscitate," he answers.

"I thought she was healing fine," I hear myself start to choke up.

"She was," he shakes his head, "We don't know what happened."

"Thanks," I stand up and begin to walk away, "for everything."

With that, I leave the hospital.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I sit outside on Ghost's hood trying to regain control of my emotional state.

"I'm so sorry Cameron," Voice speaks up.

"You were suppose to save her," I snap as my attention turns.

"I did save her!" Voice snaps, "she didn't die from her injuries due to the crash KC!"

"Are you telling me she was murdered!?" I find myself feeling shocked.

"That's exactly what I'm saying."

I lay back on Ghost's hood feeling as if i'm being wrapped in a dark cloud of emotions. I close my eyes and cover my face with my hands. I wanted this all to be a dream. My world was crashing down around me, my entire family was dead. Murdered all for the sake of revenge. I get up and get into Ghost wanting to escape my current situation. I shift her into gear and speed off to the river basin.

We reach it and I put pedal to the metal feeling Ghost's speed build underneath me. I keep the wheels straight as the concrete whips by underneath her. Didn't know how far we had gone before Ghost rolled to a stop. She sits still in the middle of the basin. I press the gas pedal but she doesn't move. Her engine roars but it was if her breaks were in place.

"Ghost!" I scream at her, "Move!"

"No!" Voice snaps at me, "You are emotionally distressed right now! So stop this crazy insane idea you have!"

"My sister! Is Dead!" I scream pounding my hands into the steering wheel, "what am I supposed to do!"

"Go home and cope with this in a good way," Voice was beginning to sound like a parental figure, "just chill out and let the world revolve around you."

"Not my strongest suit," I remind her.

"Give it your best shot."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We pull back into my drive way and I storm into the house. I was fuming at both Voice and Ghost. I go straight to the fridge where I knew that a case of beer would be awaiting me. I hadn't touched a beer in a very long time. I snatch the case out and go out to the porch to start my escape. it felt good having the alcohol in my system dampening all my sorrow. I wanted to block out the world for a while. I knew getting drunk wasn't the answer but it seemed like a pretty good idea at the moment. I was working on my forth bottle when another black charger joined Ghost in the driveway.

"Look who showed up before you could drink your conscious away," Voice laughs, "your knight in shining whatever."

"You are so lucky he can't hear you," I reply to her as Robbie was up.

"What are you doing Cameron?" He asks me.

"Drinking my emotions away," I answer, "you?"

He takes a seat beside me and looks out at the quiet street. I lean over resting my head on his shoulder enjoying the company. He wraps an arm around me pulling me closer. We sit there looking at the world. We were joined occasionally by a lonely car driving down the road but or else it was mostly quiet. I look over at the cars who looked normal at first glance, but I could see the energy radiating off of Ghost's hood. I sit there thinking about the past. This scene, Robbie and I hanging out on the porch, was an old sight. We would be chatting, My parents would be cooking or working inside, Mia would come home from her study group and tease us, then she would go do homework, and sometimes Gabe would be there too, hanging with us or doing homework with Mia. I wanted to have one of those days again. But I wasn't going to get one. My parents were dead, I had just lost Mia, Gabe would come but would be alone. All that was left of those days were Robbie and I sitting here. I set the beer down and push the bottle away.

"I don't want to do this to myself," I close my eyes, "I just lost my sister. I didn't even get to say goodbye! I just want to hit pause and sit here for a while or have it all go back to normal."

"I can't pause the world, or make it all go back. But how about this."

He leans over kissing me, It was a small delicate kiss. I lean into it welcoming Robbie's skin on mine. He pulls away then wraps me in his arms increasing the kiss this time. More passionate and hard against my lips. He pulls me up into standing position then drags me into the house. He closes the door then shoves me up against it. His lips press into mine and I part them allowing his tongue inside my mouth. I got lost in my feelings and enjoy the moment. My hands move to his neck as his rest on my waist. I break the kiss and our eyes meet, my look was seductive drawing him back in. Robbie picks me up and I wrap my legs around his waist. My arms rest on his shoulders with my lips still connected to his. I break the kiss then bury my head in his shoulder. I inhale the smell of his leather jacket mixed with his own scent. We make it to the living room where he pushed me into another wall. My lips press into his forcing his mouth to open allowing my entrance this time. His hands released my legs and my feet hit the floor again. He pulls off my jacket and I push his off his shoulders. One of my hands rest on the back of his head why the other sits between his shoulder blades. My hands work their way down to his waist then go up his back pulling his shirt over his head. He wraps me ups his arms bridal style then carries me up the stairs. I kiss his neck placing on hand on the side of his face and the other on his shoulder. We reach my bedroom, he opens the door, steps in, and then kicks the door shut. He sets me down then pushes me backwards so I fall onto the bed. I prop myself up on my elbows as Robbie moves himself over me. I meet his kiss running my hands up his back feeling his smooth skin. He lays down on me kissing my neck and running his hands along either side of my slender frame. He slips his hands under my shirt and pulls it over my head. My hands connect on his neck pulling him down and into my embrace. He rests his hands on my either side of my rib cage then runs them down to my waist. His pulls both his arms forward and rests one next to my head and the other next to my hip, propping himself up above me. He looks down studying my face.

"I love you Robbie," I whisper to him.

"I love you too Cameron," then he kisses me.

My whole night was then one emotional joy filled sensational blur once again.
