Cameron's Dallas' Little Sisters

Chapter 20

Sydney's POV

I couldn't speak. My mouth was open, and I was screaming on the inside, but no words were coming out. I just saw my whole life flash before my eyes. So much blood. So much fear. It reminded me of the time I witnessed my mom having an accident.

*flashback*

*6 year old Syd*

"Mommy, can we pweaseeeeeee have some more goldfish?"

"I don't have anymore sweety."

"Well can we pwease get more?"

"Well I do have to go to the store...."

"Why can't we get da goldfish at the store?"

"Okay....fine. Get your shoes on."

I ran and put my stylin Sketchers on and we got in the car.

After we went to the store, and I was eating my goldfish in the car. My mom wasn't wearing her seatbelt and there was a beeping noise coming from the car.

"Mommy?"

"Yes sweety?"

"What's that noise?"

"Oh hunny it's because I'm not wearing my seatbelt."

At that moment I spilt my goldfish. Sky was visiting my Grandmother so it was just me and her.

"Ugh! Sydney! Look what you did!" She yelled as she reached back to help me clean it up.

The car swerved and I felt us make impact.

"MOMMY!"

"MOMMY!"

"MOMMY!"

but she wouldn't answer. The ambulance came and took my home, but my dad wasn't happy. He left. Got in his car and drove away. We never seen him again. As for my mom.....we all know what happened.

We had to stay at my Aunt Trish's house for a few years until Cameron was old enough to take care of us.

*end of flashback*

I just looked at Cameron and burst out in tears. I bear hugged him for what seemed like days, but it was only like 5 mins.

"H-h-he g-g-grabbed m-m-m-me." I managed to choke out

"Where Syd? Where did he grab you?"

"M-m-my n-n-neck."

"Are you okay?"

"I-I-I don't k-know." I said being able to speak a little clearer

Seconds later, the cops showed up put a whole bunch of evidence sticky notes in the bathroom and the kitchen and started asking Hayes questions.

"What's the story, from beginning to end?"

"I heard a lot of screaming coming from the bathroom, and since my parents are on vacation, I got really scared. I went into the kitchen and grabbed a knife. He started choking her, and I didn't know what to do, so I stabbed him."

"You realize that wasn't your best option here."

"Yes I realize that wasn't my best option." He replied sarcastically

"Sir, we are going to have to ask you to please refrain from giving an attitude. We understand its a stressful situation, but we all will be working with each other for a few weeks, so it's best if we all get along."

"I t-t-tried to s-save myself, and grab a v-v-vase and hit him, that's what gave Ha-Hayes enough time to s-s-s-s-s-s" I couldn't make the last word out

"It's okay, we understand."

I feel so weak, crying. Everyone staring at me, waiting for a word to come out, but I can't help it.

"It's okay. You were just brutally attacked, it's normal to feel that way sweety."

Damn, I need to control this thinking out loud stuff.

They took some samples and tests and left. Cameron took me and Sydney home, but I couldn't sleep. I was texting Hayes all night.
