Finding Him // c.d SEQUEL TO COME BACK

Chapter 9

I woke up but I was to tired a weak to open my eyes. I was sure I was dead.

"Due to her condition, the fact the Mr. Coleman murdered two people, her dad was a great man who served with us for a while, and that it was done for self defense, no murder charges will be pressed and she will not have to go to court." Someone very unfamiliar said.

"Thank you officer," I heard Cameron speak.

"If there's anything you need just give me a call," the officer said. I hear footsteps and a door shut so I'm guessing he left.

"When do you think she will wake up?" Nash asked. I didn't say anything, I was to tired and weak.

"I don't know," Cameron said quietly. "When Luke said she had a secret, what do you think he was talking about?" He added, I could feel all eyes on me.

I opened my eyes just slightly and no one was looking at me. They were all looking at Taylor, who was looking down.

"Taylor what do you know?" Jack G. demanded. I looked at Matt and my eyelids were getting heavy.

"She-"he pauses, "she has cancer, again," he states and I closed my eyes again and let sleep take over me.

I woke up and looked around. It was pitch black outside. I looked at the clock on the wall and saw it was around 3am. I looked across from me and saw Cameron on his phone.

"Cam," I whispered softly and he looked up. His eyes widened and he walked to me. "Can you get me another blanket?" I asks and he walks to the closet and pulled out a white fuzzy one.

"Are you sure? It's really hot in here." He says and places it over me.

"I'm really cold," I say and turn on my side to face him.

"That's not good, how are you feeling?" He asks and looks at me concerned.

"Cameron I'm fine," I reassure him and pull my blanket up more on my body, clenching it in my fists. He puts his hand on the edge of my bed, I take it and hold it in my hand.

"Alex?"

"Hm?" I say and shut my eyes again and I feel his hand tense up.

"Why didn't you tell me you had cancer?"

"I didn't want you to treat me differently," I state, "I don't want you to be checking up on me every five seconds. I'll be okay, Cameron," I say and take his hand.

"Alex your hands are like ice cold," he says, seriously and I open my eyes a little.

"Can you lay down with me?" I ask ignoring his previous comment.

"I can't fit, besides I told the nurse I was your brother so I could stay all night. Everyone else went home. I can't fit anyways." He states and I frown.

"Please common you can fit," I say scooting over making room for him, "and if the nurse comes in, I could uh just say I had a bad dream and I felt better sleeping with you." I say and he laughs.

"That sounds wrong," he laughs and I roll my eyes at him.

"Please come on I haven't seen you in so long and you and I both almost died and I just need you right now." I say and he climbs in the bed next to me. Sure we were squished, but I didn't care.

"Cameron?" I ask. "Is Amy really.....gone?" He turns around, faces me and nods. A tear falls down my cheek. "Promise me something?"

"Anything." he smiles. God I missed that smile. I missed his laugh, his kisses, his hugs, and just Him in general.
