Payton's POV
After I was finished with lunch with my friend Josie I thought I would just walk home since it was just a few blocks and it was out of the way for Josie. It was kind of a unsafe area but I have been living here since I was 10 so it did not bother me. I walked down a ally to take a short cut to my house which I lived there alone since both my parents died last year in a car crash and my brother was in the army. As I was walking I past a middle aged man that smelled like alcohol. He stopped and stared at me so I just walked as fast as I could past him.
I turned to check if he was still staring and sure enough he was. I started to walk even faster than I felt a hand pull my shirt and thrust me on the wall. I tried screaming but his hand was covering my mouth not allowing any sound out. "Give me your money" he said. I did not have any money on me so I did not answer just turned my head so I did not have to look at him. He repeated himself again and I did not answer but this time he used all of his might and slammed me against the wall again.
I could not hold myself up anymore so I collapsed to the ground screaming of pain and calling for help. He punched me in the jaw and threw a couple punches to my nose than he picked me up and threw me on the ground kicking me until I went unconscious.
Cameron's POV
I was hanging out at the beach with my best friend Nash. We both wanted something to drink so I stopped in at a gas station to get us some water when I was walking out I heard a scream coming from the ally way. I ran to see what was going on I saw a girl my age getting attacked by a drunk man that must of just came out of the bar. I run to him ripping him off of her and shoving him threatening to call the cops. He just gave me a dirty look than hobbled away.
I look down to see the girl laying on the ground unconscious. I pick her up and take her to my car. I could tell that she would be okay so I did not take her to the hospital I took her to my parents beach house where Nash and I were staying. I laid her down on my bed gently making sure not to injure her than she already was.
I was not sure what to do so I decided to stay by her side to make sure she was going to be okay. She was beautiful she had long brown hair and long dark eyelashes. I watched TV for a little bit and while I was watching she started to cough and her eyes opened slowly revealing her gorgeous blue eyes.
"Where am I?" She asked confused. "Umm...well you were attacked and I found you so I brought you here to my house. My name is Cameron." I said.
Payton's POV
I rub my head processing everything I look up at him and realize that he was Cameron Dallas from MagCon. I started getting my memory back and remembering the guy who attacked me. "My name is Payton and uh... thank you for saving me but I should get going. Can I use your phone?" I said weakly. I tried sitting up but a pain ran through my back causing me to scream. I lay back down and hold my back. "You can call but I think you should lay down for a while." He said offering me his phone.
I reached out taking it from him our hands had brushed against each other and I felt the warmth of his hand and I looked up at Cameron noticing that he was actually quite attractive. He had dark brown eyes and brown hair. He looked my age. He gave me a smile that comforted me. His teeth were perfectly straight and he had the cutest dimples.
I called Josie but she did not answer. "Can you call your parent." Cameron asked. I looked down at the bed "they died in a car crash last year." I said. He was silent for a bit than looked down at me "I am sorry." He said.
I sat up slowly holding my back. "Can I use your bathroom to get cleaned up?" I asked. "Yea it is the first room to the left." He replied. I walked into the bathroom and turned to look at myself in the mirror. I had a black eye, a bloody nose and a swollen lip. I pulled up my shirt to look at my side it was all black and blue and I am pretty sure that I had broken a couple of ribs. I took a wash cloth from the closet and put some warm water on it. I ran the cloth over my face taking the blood off of my lips and nose. Then I threw my hair up in a bun.
Cameron's POV
She walked back into my room all cleaned up. She looked even prettier. "Do you want me to take you to the hospital?" I asked. "No, thanks though." Before she could say anything else she was interrupted by the ringing of my phone. I took my phone out of my pocket answering it. "It's for you." I said handing my phone to Payton. After Payton was done talking she handed me my phone. "My friend is going to be here in a couple of minutes." She said with a smile.
We talked for a little bit and found out we had a couple things in common. Than we heard a knock at the door. Payton got up and winced a little from the pain. I helped her down the stairs and to the door. When I opened the door there was a girl standing there that look a lot like Payton but she was a little shorter and had brown eyes. She gave Payton a hug and Payton let out a cry. Josie pulled back and Payton grabbed her side.
"Sorry." She said. Payton nodded and turned to me. "Thank you so much. Can I buy you coffee tomorrow?" She asked with a smile. "That would be great." I replied. Then she left with Josie.
