Thief 2 (m.e.)

Chapter 34

“It's going to be alright, its gonna be okay." Cam says rubbing Babe's knee.

She sits in the back seat with me as she cries while the gun shots go off.

I don't say anything I just sit there with a blank expression on my face. Although my mind isn't blank at all, there are millions of thoughts running through my head.

Is Matt alright? Is he dead? Or is Beth? What if this is a mistake? Maybe this is just a coincidence, the Beth here, isn't my sister. Is my dad possibly with her?

“Oh my God." Cameron whispers while looking on the side that Beth was on.

Both Babe and I look up to see what he was talking about.

“Stay in the  car." He say as his hand comes in contact with the car door.

“Wait. What? No. Cameron, stay in the car." Babe panics.

He ignores her.

“Cameron!" She raises her voice as he slams the car door. “He did not just do that!"

“He did." I say. I look out to see where he was going. “What is he doing anyway?"

Cameron's POV

I look out towards the warehouse to see what was going on. Then a girl caught my eye.

“Oh my God." I whisper. “…Stay in the car."

Babe starts to talk, but I tune out her words.

I lean against the car and look out to the other side to see if any of them could see me. They probably could, but there's a small chance that they would. I take a deep breath while pulling the gun from my waist band of my pants.

“Okay." I say out loud before running to the other side.

The girl points the gun at me, and I hope to God she sees my face, for a moment I didn't think she would, but then her facial expression changes, and she points the gun down.

“What the fuck are you doing here Andy?!" I demand.

“What are you doing here?!" She realitates. She looks at the side where my family and friends are at. “Is that Brent?.. Is that Shawn?.. Oh my God Cameron, is that your whole family?"

“Yes, it's my family, what ever, who cares. Who are these people?!"

She mumbles when she speaks. “My family."

“You're not Mexican!"

“I know, I'm like... adopted."

“Adopte- Wha- We've been- Your in the- What the hell dude! When were you planning on telling me you were in a gang?!"

“Really Cam?" She says with an annoyed expression on her face. “Really?"

“Ugh! That doesn't count!"

“Why not?!" She demands.

“Fine, it does." I huff. “But you need to leave them, you can't do this anymore. Come on we can talk about this later." I say grabbing her hand and starting to stand. “You can come live with me."

She pulls me back. “What? No."

“No? What do you mean 'no'?"

She licks her lips. “Well.. This is my family Cam."

I stare at her for a moment. “Y-you mean you're not coming with me?"

Her breaths increase as her eyes begin to water, and she stares into mine. She doesn't even speak, she doesn't have to.
