Hidden Away

Chapter 2

April's POV

The door opened and I ran over to grab a jumper. It was Cameron.
"Hey, why did you just run?" I guess he heard my footsteps, probably because I weigh so much. I don't really eat that much and well I think you can guess why i needed a jumper.
"Oh because I did anyway what do you want?"
"Um.. do you wanna go out?"
"Cameron it's 1 o'clock in the morning"
"But the arguing, and you've been crying so we're going out" He said pulling me by the arm, I winced.
"I didn't hardly touch you"
"Yeah I know"
We went to a all night coffee place. I sat down in my black leggings and blue hoodie.
"Did you have dinner?" Cameron asked as we sat down,
"No"
"I'll get us burgers then"
"No I'm not hungry"
"Fine"
The truth was I was starving, I hadn't eaten in 2 days and I went on the treadmill for 2 hours a day. I had to loose weight. I was 82 pounds and my weight goal was 65.
Cameron came back with a burger and a bottle of water for him.
"So how have you been?"
"Fine" I was lying again, I lied quite often about how I was feeling.
"April, are you really ok?"
"Yes"
"Then why do you cry most of the time in your room at night?"
"I watch romantic movies"
"Hah that's the worst lie you've ever told" He finished his burger and then we walked off, bumping into Brooke and Sarah on our way out. I tried my hardest to avoid them but if Cameron found out about them he would flip. They bully me, they call me ugly, fat and worthless. In kindergarten some girl called me a poo and Cameron being the protective 7 year old he was made the girl say sorry and he took away her 'princess powers' and gave them too me. Being the 4 year old I believed they were real.
Sarah pulled at the waist band of my leggings and whispered into my ear, "do you want a free subscription to weight watchers?" Tears brimmed my eyes as I watched Cameron look at me,
"Cameron, go home"
"Ok, see you later"
Brooke pushed me against the wall and punched me in the stomach. Then walked off, I waited 20 minutes and then started walking home holding my bruised stomach.
I opened the door to my house and ran fast to my room.
"April?"
"I'm going to sleep"
"Fine" I pulled on some shorts and a baggy hoodie and fell asleep.

Cameron's POV

I woke up and walked downstairs to the kitchen, seeing a note on the counter from mum and dad,
'Gone away for a few days, behave, mum and dad xx'
I texted Nash, matt and Hayes to come over. Within 10 minutes they arrived and we decided to wake April up. We grabbed 2 cans of silly string and just as we were about to spray her, matt noticed something on her Arms. Cuts.
I turned away and walked out, everyone else following. I turned to Nash and cried.

How could my own sister do this?
I should of noticed, it's all my fault.
