Kidnapped By You

Chap.28

STACEY’S POV

“Cameron!” I yelled. My voiced echoed through the silent apartment before I finally saw Cameron pop his head into the bathroom to see what I was calling him for.

“Im doing the laundry considering you didn’t. Last chance to collect any of your other filthy clothes that need washing” I said, hinting that he had a lot of clothes that needed a wash.

He shook his head, “Nope” He replied popping the ‘P’. I sighed and nodded.

I scooped up the pile of heaped clothes of the bathroom floor. I scrunched up my nose from the smell; dirty socks with sweaty shirts. A mixture of gruesome whiffs engulfed me. The smell was so bad it put me off breathing. I decided to breath from my mouth so I didn’t smell it, but instead I could somehow taste the smell- Weird, right?

I held my breath for as long as I could as I struggled to force the dirty clothes into the washing machine. After several failed attempts I finally picked up any clothes that had fell onto the tiled floor in the process and tossed them into the washing machine. I made sure the machine door was locked and started up the machine.

I slumped back and took in a deep breath. “Next time your doing that.” I glared at Cameron who was leaning against the door frame smirking. I shuddered as I pushed past him.

I decided to check my phone. I walked into the bedroom and picked up my phone. I unlocked it and scrolled through the many missed calls- mainly from Bridget, Lucas and a few fellow classmates.

After replying to a few and ignoring most I locked my phone. “Cameron!” I called and sat on the bed waiting for him to appear.

“What now?” he grunted as he sat beside me.

My eyes flickered over to his laptop and he followed my gaze. He groaned already knowing my next question.

“Pleaaasee” I wined, “I havn’t checked my facebook in forever!” I leaned in closer to him and pouted.

He groaned before finally dragging himself over to his desk and passing me his laptop. I squealed and clapped like a retarded seal before flipping it open and switching it on.

“Man, this thing is so slow” I moaned. He frowned before walking out of the room.

I tapped my fingers lightly on the keyboard as I waited. Finally it started up and I logged onto my Facebook account.

I had been spammed with messages by so many people. I had 4 new Requests. I looked through them and decided on accepting or declining.

Adam Range. Wow, The schools popular boy added me on facebook… Very flattering. I clicked the ‘accept button’

Maddie King. I stared at her profile picture for a moment before shaking my head. Nah – From what I’ve heard shes the school bitch. I smoothly clicked the ‘decline’ button.

Sheryl Bath. I stared at the request with wide eyes. Bath? She changed her surname? I stared at her display picture which was a picture of her sitting cross-legged on the grass. She was wearing big black shades and grinning up at the camera. I stared at the picture; taking in her appearance. She looked just like before- maybe a bit more tanned.

I drummed my fingers against my chin as I debated on whether I should accept or decline. After all these years she only just had the decency to contact me (sort-off). Only now she decided to send me a hint that shes even alive.

“Cameron!” I called for the 3rd time this morning. I heard him groan which made me chuckle.

“What now?” he huffed as he stood infront of me.

My eyebrows creased together, “Promise not to tell Mickey or say anything stupid?” I asked.

He looked confused before nodding in agreement. He came closer and I pointed the laptop screen towards him- pointing at the latest friend request. He frowned as he moved closer to take a better look.

His eyes widened, “Whoa. Your mums hot” he winked and started laughing.

“No seriously Cameron! What do I do?” I snapped and groaned in frustration.

He shrugged, “Accept it” he said bluntly as if it were no big deal. I squinted my eyes and looked up at him. He shrugged again.

I hovered the mouse over the ‘accept’ button and bit my lip. “Go on…” Cameron encouraged. I hesitated a little before finally pressing accept.

I dragged my hands down my face when I realized shes online.

“Oh fucks sake. God no” I cursed. Cameron sat beside me and began rubbing circles on my bare shoulder to calm my down. I let out a strangled sigh and opened the chat bar.

 

Me: Mum?

Sheryl: Stacey! I missed you baby!

I clenched my jaw and my hands formed into small, tight fists. Cameron kissed my temple as I breathed deeply.

Me: What do you want?

Sheryl: Stacey, what do you mean?

Me: You left, mum. Your out of my life!

Sheryl: Baby no, you don’t understand.

Me: Dont lie to me Sheryl Bath.

Sheryl: Baby I just miss you. I wish I never had to leave you behind : ((

Me: No. You lied. Take your bullshit elsewhere, mother. I’ve lived long enough without you.

Sheryl:Listen to me, I had to go for your safety. I just wanted to check on my baby after all these years.

Me: Safety? Neglecting your child is making them safe. If only you knew where I am right now.”

And with that I logged off before she could ask any questions. Curiosity kills.

Cameron stiffened beside me. I sighed and turned to face him. “I don’t know what to do…”

“Wait” Cameron paused as if he were in deep thoughts. “She said she left for your safety?” He re-capped.

I stared at him quizzically. “Yeah… bullshit.” I muttered.
