CHAPTER 5

*SCHOOL*

Hazel hadn't been to school all week it was beginning to worry Cameron but not enough for him to check on her she did after all kiss his crush she knew Cameron liked him and she kissed him how could she, all things that ran through Cameron's head. He grew even more upset at the very sight of Cole who seemed normal and he was still dating but not really dating that girl and he was still friends with Melissa who didn't seem to mind Hazel not coming she spent more time with Cameron she got closer to him. Cameron had told Melissa what Hazel did she just chuckled it off and moved on "shes always been so self absorbed" Melissa said nodding , she seemed to be filling Cameron's head with the thought of how selfish Hazel had been. 

Cameron was walking home and he had seen Hazel sitting out on her porch he tried to ignore her but she called out his name and he had no choice but to talk to her despite everything he missed his best-friend and she had missed him too. "why were you not at school!!" Cameron said with a worried look on his face. "i-i don't want to talk about it i was um sick" Hazel said trying to look convincing. "yea okay". They had talked for about  5 minutes and sat in awkward silence  "so why did you kiss him" Cameron broke the silence. "w-what" Hazel replied "Cole! you knew i liked him and you kissed him! why Hazel why do you always ruin what i want!"  Hazel in shock  replied "i didn't mean to it was the heat of the moment i'm sorry". "SORRY?! SORRY?! you're always sorry and i'm SICK of it i'm tired of putting myself second for you Hazel" Cameron said storming away " FINE you want the truth?" Hazel said trembling fighting back tears " yes Hazel i do i want the fucking truth" Cameron had an annoyed look on his face and was not in the mood for anymore of her lies "h-he raped me.." Hazel fell to the ground sobbing hysterically and screaming it over and over "HE RAPED ME" Cameron stood speechless for a second before running to her aid wrapping his arms around her as she sobbed into his chest"

Cameron wanted to believe her he really did but he had a hard time because Cole wouldn't do something like that to her ha couldn't have hes too innocent too sweet too nice and too dumb to get away with it. "are you sure.." Cameron said holding on to the last bits of faith that Cole could be a good guy "am i sure?- what do you mean am i sure i know what i went through" she pulled up her shirt showing the bruises under her breasts and her sides, she lifted her pants leg to show her bruised ankles from bondage and she rolled up her sleeves to show her bruised wrists. "sorry" Cameron said, "so what are you going to do now? are you gonna call the cops or are you gonna ell your mom- wait does your mom even know?" Cameron had a worried look on his face "no and i don't want to tell her yet" Hazel was serious she didn't want her mother to make things a huge deal bu she knew that Cameron couldn't keep his mouth closed so she warned him not to say anything either. He swore he wouldn't unless he needed to but Hazel still didn't want to come to school she couldn't bare being around Cole naturally when Cameron went home he told his brother Adam, of course Adam was pissed.

*SATURDAY* Cole always had football practice on Saturdays and he never missed a practice so Adam went up to the practice and there Cole was. Adam walked up to Cole and pinched him in the nose. Cole fell. Adam stood over Cole and began punching him repeatedly in the mouth until his fist were bloody Cole tried to block but was already too nauseous to even do anything. Adam was pulled of by a coach " YOU RAPED HER YOU SICK BASTARD" Cole fell unconscious before words could even come out. "Adam.. Adam!" the coach interrupted Adams screaming "what happened what are you talking about.." "he raped hazel he drugged and raped her!" Adam said with a shaking voice by his tone you could tell he was holding back tears. As the coach stood there at a loss for words Adam left the field and went back to his car, he still had some trips to make. 

Adam decided to go to Cole's parents house and inform them of the terrible thing their son has done once he got there he was confronted by Cole's father who was already sitting on the porch enjoying lemonade. "Ahh if it isn't Adam Armstrong" Cole's father said, the nickname Armstrong came from the fact that at 7 years old he was already the strongest boy on their street. "hey Mr. Jones" Adam said with as much calmness as he could muster "I needed to talk to you". "About what Mr. Jones said whilst sipping his coffee "its about Cole" Adam said.
