The Truth

Chapter 6.

I unlock my apartment door and with the corner of my eye, I can see someone is coming closer to me. I turn my head and I see Jared.   

Jared is my flatmate and Daren's best friend. As Jared and I go to the same university. Daren insisted us to be flatmates, he didn't want me to live alone or on the campus. I think I had no choice that time. So since then, we share an apartment and I spend a lot of time with Jared. He is my age and a really good guy. I had a crush on him since I was fourteen, just look at him, tall tanned blond with emerald eyes, but with time I understood that he is like my second brother. I can say that he in some way take care of me. We are very close.

"Hey Cam, How was the family weekend?" He comes and pulls me in a hug.

"Hey J! Don't ask, shortly it was a disaster!" I hug him back.

"Let me guess, Daren again refused to make pancakes with you?" He laughs.

I open the door and make my way to the living room, Jared closes the door behind him and makes his way to the sofa where I'm sitting now.

I pull my head back, close my eyes, taking a deep breath I say.

"I went to see mum and dad...he didn't show up..." I'm holding my tears.

"He what?" Jared sounds angry, but a few seconds after he sounds calmer like he knows something.

"I'm sure he had a reason, you know he would never do this to you. He loves you more than anything... I know it, as well as it was something very important."

"He called you, didn't he?"I open my eyes and look at him.

He sits down near me. Took his phone from his pocket and shows it to me.

"I was out and as you can see my phone died, so I had no idea what happened...if I knew..."

I cut him off.

"I don't want to talk about it J, I'm so tired, I better go to bed."

He nods. I get up and go to my room, but before I open the door Jared says.

"Good night Cam".

"Night J".

After a quick shower I putt on my pajama and lie on my bad, tiredness takes me and I fall asleep.

Daren.

Why doesn't she pick her phone, what if they have her? Fuck! I should have told her. I can't think straight right now, if something happens to her I won't forgive myself.

I sit in my office, deep down in my thoughts when the door opens and Lexi comes in.

"Daren, I came as soon as I could! What happened?" She asks nervously.

I haven't told her yet, but probably I have no choice, I have to tell her. I just tried to make sure Camil and her are safe.

"I don't know where Camil is, I try to call her but I get to voice mail!" I say running my hand trough the hair.

"What do you mean? You suppose to go you know to your parents grave." She comes closer.

"I couldn't make it. I stayed in the office and James went to meet her, but when he told her, she left and now she doesn't pick up, I'm so worried." I putt my head in my hands. I know what I did is impossible to ignore, but they are here and it's dangerous for her to be alone.
