Bree's pov

He broke down, right in front of me. He revealed a huge terrible thing about his past and he thinks I want to pity him? damn. I don't want to pity him, I know how he feels to push people away because I'm afraid of getting hurt... Again. He needs to know that I don't have it perfect like he thinks I am. I'm far from perfect. But I'm perfect for him. I grabbed my phone and called Cameron.

"What?" he answered rather harshly
"You're not going to say something about your past then leave me" I yelled
"Bye Bree"
"No! get your ass back here or you'll never see me again" I said as a mixture of emotions overtook me. I heard him sigh then reply. "Fine"

I smiled and then hung up and waited for him to return. But once he gets here I know I'm going to break down. My past is something no one knows but Ethan and Mark. But I'm willing to tell Cameron, I want him in my life .. I need him just as much as I know he needs me.

"What?" Cameron said as he walked through the door.
"Sit down please" I sighed while patting the spot beside me
"Fine"
"Okay so I know you have skeletons in your closet but you're not the only one. Yes you've had it hard and I want to know because I'm not going anywhere. I'm not going to crush your heart because i know how that feels and it feels like hell" I said while placing my hand on his thigh as he flinched
"You don't know my past" he said looking into my eyes. That's when I saw the real Cameron, a boy who has a broken past and needs some own to help him pick up the pieces and make him happy again.
"You don't know mine either" I mumbled
"Please tell me"

I looked up at him shocked that he actually wanted to know. But this is what I planned, to tell him.

"About 4 years before my parents broke up my father started drinking and doing drugs which caused him to act out. Whenever he was angry he'd take it out on the person who cared about him the most, me. He'd come into my room and take his anger out on me once he almost killed me, now being only 10 at the time I was so confused and scared of why he would beat me. That lasted for a while until he got arrested but 4 years later it started l over again when I met Hunter ..." I said as I started to cry
"No please don't cry. continue" Cameron said pulling me closer to him
"Hunter and I dated for 2 years and in those 2 years it was hell all over again, he beat me everyday worse than my dad ever did. I honestly thought I loved him at first until he just changed. When I refused to have sex with him he broke up with me and it shattered my heart. Even though he abused me I loved him. And now I've met you, I like you for you. Even your mood swings and I don't want to pity you because I've had it hard too." I said as tears pooled down my flushed cheeks.
"I'm sorry all that happened to you, Bree. I'm sorry I push you away because I do like you, a lot more than I sure have for someone I just met. It's just I haven't had light in my life in a long time so I just continue to be an asshole who's broken inside."
"I don't care if you're an asshole, I'll be your light." I sighed while rubbing his thigh and cupping his cheek in my small hand.
