Trapped Part 4

Cameron

"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck!" Sofia yelled, struggling to put herself together. "He's gonna kill me."

"Who is gonna kill you?" I asked.

"He's gonna fucking kill me!" she shouted, tearing up. I grabbed her and spun her around to look at me.

"Who?!" I shouted, asking. She was about to answer me when there was knocking at my door and I mean hard knocking. "Don't move."

"Cam I gotta go.." she said.

"I said don't move." I said again. I opened the door.

"Yo why the fu-," I began to say before I was shoved all the way down.

"Where is she?!" the voice yelled.

"Daniel wait!" Sofia shouted.

"Bitch!" he yelled, walking up to her.

"Hold the fuck up." I said, getting up.

"Who the fuck are you?!" he asked me.

"The owner of this house. Who the fuck are you?!" I asked back.

"I'm about to beat your ass mother fucker." he said, stepping up to me. "So this is the guy huh?"

"Daniel he's just a friend! We've been filming together!" she screamed, trying to step in-between us. My blood was boiling. I knew what the fuck I was thinking was right.

"Oh I'm gonna beat your ass." Daniel said, shoving her on the floor. Strike three. Strike one was when he knocked hard as fuck on my door. Strike two was when he decided to call her a bitch.

"I wish you would touch her." I said, my jaw clenched.

"And what are you gonna do about it?" he asked, shoving her over again. I said no more words as my fist connected with his jaw.

"Cam!" Sofia yelled, holding me back, her hands on my chest. "Please don't." A tear rolled down her face.

"What do you mean don't?!" I asked, beyond confused. Our conversation was cut short by him slapping Sofia out of the way to get to me. He grabbed me by my throat, pushing me up against the wall, choking the shit out of me.

"I don't know who the fuck you think you are." he said, his grip getting tighter. "But I'm not the one."

"Neither am I." I said between breaths. He wasn't smart enough to see where my hands were, so I used the opportunity to give him a hard right hook to his face. Falling on my knees, it took me only a few seconds to fully catch my breath. I looked over at Sofia who was on the floor, holding her face, crying. I climbed on top of him, giving him blow after blow.

"I'll fucking kill you." I added. He tried reaching for my face, but I knocked his hands away, snuffing the shit out of him. My hands were bloody. I got up, starting kicking him in the ribs and back. Grabbing him by the collar of his shirt, I picked him up and said,

"If you ever put your hands on her again." I began. "I will make sure you never walk again."

"Just wait until you get home, bitch." he said, referring to Sofia. He chuckled, blood dripping out his mouth. "You fucked up Sofia. You really did." I head butted him in his face and watched as he fell to the ground. I picked him up again, by his collar, opened my door and threw him out.

"Don't fucking show up to my door again." I said, slamming it.

"Cameron." Sofia said, looking up at me. "What the fuck did you just do?!"

"What do you mean?" I asked. "He was going to fucking hurt you!"

"No he wasn't!" she said.

"He shoved and slapped you! Are you blind?" I asked.

"I gotta go.." she said, getting up and trying to head for the door.

"No!" I yelled, grabbing her arm. "Do you know what he'll do to you when you get there?"

"I have to take care of him.. he takes care of me." she said. She was shaking really bad.

"No." I began. "You don't Sof. You don't have to take care of him. He does not take care of you. He hurts you. What don't you understand?"

"What don't you?" she asked, trying to go for the door again.

"Just stay with me." I begged. "Please.."

"I can't Cam.." she sighed. "You don't understand. It's complicated. And you can't tell anyone. Please."

"But." I began.

"Cameron please." she said, grabbing my hand. "It's just between us."

"Fine." I sighed. "But I really think you should stay with me. At least for a little bit."

"He'll just come back." she said. "And losing your life isn't worth saving mine."

"But it is though." I said, pulling her into a hug. "I care so much about you Sofia. Everyone does."

"Don't." she said, hugging me back. "Don't stress over me. I'll be okay." I wrapped my arms around her, tighter.

"Please Sofia." I said, almost crying. "I don't want to lose you."

"You're not gonna." she reassured me, rubbing my back.

"Will you call me if things get bad?" I asked.

"You'll be the first person. I promise." she said, holding on to me. "I love you."

"I love you too." I said back, kissing her on her forehead. "I guess I should wash the blood off my hands before China and my parents get here."

"Probably." she said laughing. We stared each other in the eyes for a moment, our faces moving closer to each other. Our lips almost connected, but she stepped back and sighed. "I'll see you later?"

"Of course." I said. And like that, I watched her leave.

I just wanna protect you.
