Chapter 24

Kaleigh Jones

"Midnight memories, oh, oh, oh, oh, baby you and me stumbling in the street, singing, singing, singing, singing." I groaned and pressed my thumb down onto accept and lifted the phone to my ear "Hi dad." I mumbled, "Me not daddy." a cute little voice sounded from the phone and my whole face lit up "Baby, what are you doing calling me." I asked my little sister and a giggle escaped from the speakers "Mummy wants to talk to you." she giggled again and I sighed "Hand the phone to her then." I muttered. I heard some shuffling and my mother scolding Abby, before her soft voice rang through the phone "Hello darling." I rolled my eyes "What do you want mum?", I know I was being rude but my mum only talked to me with a soft tone when she wanted to talk about boys and right now, that was a topic I didn't want to talk about.

Cameron had confronted me about a picture of me kissing Luke a few days ago, he had told Shawn and Shawn was currently extremely angry with me, Luke had been avoiding my calls and right now, I was sitting on a swing in an abandoned park to get my mind off things for a bit. But what surprised me was that, she didn't want to talk about boys, the words that rang through my phone made me drop the phone onto the soft grass and tears began to trail down my face, I heard sobs erupt through the phone and my mother calling my name, but I was in a state of shock. My brother was dead, my older brother was gone, he had cancer and we all knew this day was going to come, but the doctor said he would live for another few years, it was too soon, he couldn't be dead. I broke down onto the floor and let the tears stream down my face. I pushed the thought of my boys into the back of my head and just sat there crying. 

Soon enough the phone hung up, leaving me alone, rains drops started to fall, it started with just a few raindrops but then it started pouring down "Kaleigh, Kaleigh!" a voice shouted, I ignored it and continued to cry "Kal..." the voice continued but trailed off, Cameron. It was Cameron, one of the people I really didn't want to see right now, he bent down and wrapped his arms around me "Hey, I'm here, hey, Shawn got a call from your mum, he heard about your brother and I came here as fast as I could." he cooed into my ear, I was too weak to push him away, but I didn't want his comfort. He scooped me up into his arms, I laid my head back into his chest and flinched uncomfortable as my soggy clothes hugged my body, making me even colder than I already was, he pulled my closer and pressed his lips against my forehead. "I love you." he whispered, but I didn't say anything, my brother had just died and Cameron Dallas was telling me that he loved me, you can't blame me, I was in utter shock, he sighed and opened the car door, I pushed myself out of his arms and got into the car, slamming the door after me.

He got into the drivers side and started to drive, the rain was pouring down very hard now and it was hard to see, I diverted my gaze from the window, towards him, I had never really noticed how handsome Cameron really was. His dark brown eyes were stuck on the road, his light brown hair was dripping and tousled, his light tanned skin was covered by a blue sweater and his lips pursed together, he was beautiful, and I had never taken the time in to notice how lucky I was to have him in the life, He was perfect. "Are you checking me out?" he asked and turned to face him, I scoffed "Don't flatter yourself." I responded even though I had been 'checking him out', he turned back to the road, a smirk creeping onto his pink lips which made me roll my eyes of course.

For the next ten minutes, I just stared out the window, then I saw it, a blinding light speeding towards us "CAMERON DUCK!" I screamed and his eyes widened, he tried to duck but his seat belt held him back, the next thing I did was a surprise for both of us, I pushed myself in front of him and fumbled with his seat belt, the truck was coming at full speed now, Cameron couldn't die. I opened the car and door and unclicked his seat belt, I pushed him out of the car and as I went to jump, everything went so fast, glass blew into my face and I dropped back into the car seat, I was weak and knew that this was it, this was the day I was going to die, all because I fell in love with Cameron Dallas. "KALEIGH!"  a voice yelled and then it was gone, everything went black, it was over and my last thought was 'I love you too Cameron.'.
