My life, Her life, Their lives.

Chpt 10: Fear isn't love... (Pov Taylor)

I reached the top of the staircase with my heart in a knot, I prayed to god that it wasn't what i thought, yet here it was in front of me. Cameron stood in front of his bedroom door clenching his fists. "Taylor.....Can you tell me..." He said as he took deep breath "Why... my bedroom door is locked and where ..the hell is .. Nate." He turned to face me and gave me a look of sarcastic curiosity. "I.. I..I don't" I couldn't piece together words, my stomach swirled around in anxiety. I had a terrible feeling. "Mmm.. i see." he replied turning his back to me to face the door again ,he slurred his words when he spoke, and the anger in his voice resembled a time bomb, I don't like anyone would be lucky enough to escape from this one. I could smell the beer off of him even from where I was standing. "Ok cam..Cam" I stuttered in an attempt to catch his attention and divert it away from the door he was so fixated on.

"Where is he?!" He yelled scaring me and sending me a couple steps back. He still wouldn't turn around to face me but i could see him slowly close his eyes, and take a deep breath trying his best to calm down "Where. Is. He. Taylor." he repeated calmly this time. "Cam ok please" I began again stepping closer to him. "ANSWER ME" he yelled getting angry again and punching the side of the wall, my heart raced as I tried my best to remain calm. "Cam please, please don't yell at me." I muttered "Why won't you fucking answer me Taylor!" He glared at me with pure animosity as if i had been the one behind this, "Cam.. He's in there ..." I said holding up my hands trying to hold him back for a second. "but please! please, don't over react! You're drunk, And I don't want things to get out of hand." Cam ran past me ignoring what i had said and started pounding on the door "LET ME IN YOU SMUG SON OF A BITCH!"

I ran in front of him trying my best to push him away from the door, instead he knocked me to the side, and out of his way, while he continued to pound at the door shaking it each time. The downstairs lights came on and Shawn ran up the stairs and towards Cam, trying to pull him away. "whoa whoa, easy there bud, what's going on?" he asked, struggling to hold Cameron back. "Get off of me Parker. This isn't your fucking problem." He responded shrugging him off. "Tell him Taylor, tell him how your little friend Nathan is in there trying to fuck my girlfriend." He glared at me and continued to beat the door cracking it slightly. I didn't know what to do, if I went near him again he could hit me accidentally.

"ANA!" Cameron yelled, "ANA OPEN THE DOOR!" As each one of his punches landed, more dents formed and the door cracked further. "Someone tell the fucking caveman to back away!" A voice yelled from inside, it was Nathan. They hadn't spoken until now. "Just stay away from the door" Shawn instructed, once again trying to calm Cameron. Another voice came from the door, "Taylor please what's going on!" Ana shouted, she sounded horrified. "Ana?" Shawn yelled to her "Ana?" "yes.." she responded "Ana right now, i need you to talk to Cameron." Shawn yelled to her.

"C..Cameron." Ana called out to him. "Cameron, please stop this." "LET ME IN!" Cameron yelled back "I can't let you in until you calm down." "Yeah Cameron calm down, you fucking animal." Nathan added in from inside. "I WILL KILL YOU NATE OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR RIGHT NOW! I KNEW I NEVER COULD OF TRUSTED A SICK BASTARD LIKE YOU" Cameron lost it, he threw another punch at the door making the top hinge break open, as the dented pieces of wood finally gave in. Broken wood flew across the hallway, and the hole left behind let us see inside the bedroom.

Ana was on the floor next to the bed staring at us holding wide eyed and horrified. She held on to Nathan's arm defensively, as he held her slightly behind him. "CAMERON!" I yell "STOP! IT" " NATHAN BACK AWAY FROM HER OR I WILL CRACK YOUR FUCKING SKULL OPEN!" he ignored me completely. His knuckles were leaving small blood stains on the wood, he was really hurting himself at this point. "Shawn I really need you to calm Cameron down!" I yell. Shawn was finally able to hold him back, with the help of Alex and Sam they carried him to the next room.

As soon as he was gone Ana opened the door enough to let me step inside quickly. She leaned against the wall parallel from the door and bit her trembling lip "What what's going on Taylor? Why is he doing this." she whispered between tears "Ana I know you're scared but please go to him, talk to him.... Please" I pleaded "I .. I came back inside and Nate locked the door cause he said you were upsetting him I must've fallen asleep while we talked and he must've too , it was all an accident why is he doing this Is... Is he drunk?" Ana broke into tears ignoring me, she was petrified. "Yes Ana. I'm sorry, I am so sorry." I held her for a brief moment before she stood up and agreed to go talk to him. Her expression was blank, and her eyes empty.

When she was gone i looked around for Nathan, but he was gone. Almost like a cue i heard Ana scream "OH MY GOD TAYLOR HELP ME!" I ran to the hallway and saw her terrified reaching out for me. "WANNA CRACK MY FUCKING SKULL OPEN? GO FOR IT THEN BIG BOY!" It was Nathan. He had gone outside to Cameron. "YOU SON OF A BITCH" I yelled at him, and took Ana in my arms. Why was he doing this. Ana held on to me crying desperately "CAMERON PLEASE BABY! PLEASE STOP." She yelled "NATE, NATE PLEASE, PLEASE DONT HURT HIM.. PLEASE." They both ignored her.

All we could do was look on horrified at Cameron and Nathan beat each other. Shawn tried and failed to hold them back, his head was bleeding and he had a small cut near his eye. They didn't try to hurt him, they merely pushed him aside but some of the punches had found him when he stepped in. I ran to Shawn to help him as much as i could while Ana ran to Cam's side and attempted to pull on his arm crying, he pushed her harshly aside sending her to the ground. Alex ran to her and tried helping her up as Shawn and Sam finally managed to pull Nate away.

Alex ran to get a first aid kit and the phone to call the police. Shawn managed to push Nathan against a wall and Sam helped hold him down. Everyone was slowly calming down. Cameron stood a few steps away from Ana who was looking up to him paralyzed in fear. "He might hit her" Shawn whispered to me. I ran to her and pulled her back, and away from Cameron. He just stared at her, they didn't break eye contact for a second. No one spoke, an eerie silence filled the air. Nathan stopped struggling and just sat on the floor leaning on the wall. Shawn slowly stepped away from him, Ana collapsed on the floor, she rested her head on the wall and closed her eyes.

No one spoke, all i could think of was that it was over. It was finally over.
