Am I Wrong?

Chapter 27

June 19

When we get to Cameron's, Mom's townhouse Cameron says "I think my Uncle is here. That's odd."

"Why is that odd?"

"Well we don't talk to him anymore. About 10 years ago he did something and my mom won't tell me what happened. She just tells me that it was adult business. But I don't know why he would be here."

"Well I think were gonna go find out."

"Let's go Babe."

He says taking my hand and opening the door.

We hear screaming from the kitchen and Cameron drags me into there.

"Leave Now!!" We hear his mom say.

We run in the kitchen to find a man and Gina. She is crying and he looks angry.

"Oh Cameron I'm sorry. Jeff is here and I'm trying to get him to leave."

Cameron is about the same height as him and he walks up to Jeff and says

"Leave my family alone or you'll regret it. You may be family but you lost that privilege years ago. Now leave or were calling the cops."

"Cameron I've changed. I'm still your uncle."

"No your not. Now leave." He says still in his face. When Jeff stands there Cameron winds up his right arm and punches him right in the jaw. Jeff looses his balance for a little then starts to walk towards me.

"I'm sorry." he says to me. His breathe smells like whiskey.

"For what?"

"My name is Jeff Porter."

My heart sinks and I start to tear. Jeff Porter. He is the drunk driver who killed my parents.

"You're him? You're the Jeff Porter that killed my parents 9 years ago?!"

"I'm sorry."

"You killed my parents!! You were so drunk you couldn't even remember how old you were. You killed my fucking parents and all you have to say is I'm sorry!?!" I say crying and screaming. I feel Cameron behind me and he places his hands on my hips. I see Gina calling someone on the phone and I assume it's 911.

"I didn't see them, but I'm sure they were lovely people." He says with a smirk.

"You Bastard." I say and swing my left arm as hard as I can at his jaw.

He falls to the ground. I didn't realize how hard I hit him until I see him on the ground holding his jaw. "You don't even feel sorry! You were drunk and you killed my fucking parents! You took them away from me! Do you understand that I was 8 years old! Do you know what it is like to be 8 years old and have your parents get hit by a car and then you get rushed to the hospital and find out that the two people that you loved most were dead!" I say screaming and crying. I hear sirens outside and I just fall into Cameron's arms. I start sobbing and I haven't cried this much since they died. I feel like they just died again. I feel like he deserves to die. He took their lives for me. He should be behind bars. Wait why isn't he behind bars.

I probably have an adrenaline rush/crash because I fall asleep in Cameron's arms on the couch. When I wake up I see that the cops are just leaving and I see that idiot in the backseat.

I wake up Cameron and start to tear up. He kisses my head and plays with my hair. We stand up and Gina pulls me into a motherly hug. We all sit down on the couch and she starts to explain.

"I knew he had go in an accident from drunk driving but I had no idea that it was your parents. I can't imagine being in that car when he hit you guys. Elena I'm so sorry. He went to the hospital and called me from a burner phone saying that he needed money. He asked for about $10,000 and I of course said no because I didn't have that much money at the time to just give him. He then went on the run and I never heard from him again. Today he came back and he heard on the news that Cameron and you were dating. So he came here to wait for you guys to come back. He didn't tell me why he was here. He just said he needed to talk to someone. I tried to get him to leave but he wouldn't. I waited for you guys to come but if I would've known what would've happened then I would've called the cops earlier. The cops said that he has a court hearing next week and he is going to be put behind bars for the rest of his life. Now I know he is family but he isn't out family anymore Cameron. And Elena I'm so incredibly sorry that this all happened today."

"Ms. Dallas, you couldn't have known what was going to happen so I don't blame you at all obviously. I feel like I have closure though. Knowing he will be behind bars for killing my parents. I'm glad that I have you guys right now to help me through this."

"Of course honey. And call me Gina please. Now I know today is a bad day for both of us and it's only 12. Let's go get some lunch then we can go shopping or we can go to Venice if you want."

"Mom can we go to lunch then I think you two need some spa time." Cameron says and I raise my eyebrows in surprise.

"That would be amazing Cam." We both say simultaneously then laughing. "Okay well let's go clean up and get ready to leave by 12:30." She says and Cameron takes my hand to his old room. It's not too big or not too small but I am ready for this day to be over with and I want to see my family too. I'm sure they would love to hear about my morning.
