7. Dreams Dreamt

Bex POV

'BEX, MACEY, BEX, MACEY' I bolted upright to see Liz burst into the room in her pjs

'What's wrong?' Macey asked

'Cammie's missing' She panted, me and Macey leapt out of our beds and ran out of the room. Macey checked the back of the house whist Liz checked the rooms. I ran out front, the car was still there. I looked all around and across the lake there were faint rhythmic splashes, I jogged over to the lake and saw Cam's head bobbing up and down as she swam towards me. I put my hands on my hips waiting for her to get out. She emerged from the water wearing a simple swimming costume beaming a smile at me.

'Morning' she sung

'You know you gave everyone a heart attack this morning' I snapped

'Why?' She looked at me confused

'You have a slight tendency to run' Bitterness lashed my tongue.

'Where would I have run to?' She stated drying herself off. I dropped my hands to my side, Cam was right, I didn't know where she would go.

'I FOUND HER' I called over my shoulder. I kept my eyes fixed on Cammie's smirk

'Where would I have run to Rebecca?' She repeated

'What do you know about Paris?'

'It's the capital of France' She said innocently moving past me. I grabbed her arm.

'This isn't a joking matter'

'I heard you and Mace talking last night' She yanked her arm out of my grasp. 'Nice to know my best friend supports me' She snapped at me. My heart plummeted.

'Cam, I was thinking about what's best for you' She stopped where she was and spun on me

'Best for me?' She laughed 'The best thing for me has always been dealt by other people Bex, I've tried to protect everyone, but it's best for me to sit at the side lines resting because everyone thinks I'm too fragile' Her voice caught at the end

'I just don't want to see you get hurt like when we found your dad' I knew I was overstepping a line, but it's a line that had to be crossed.

'The CoC's destroyed, Bex. Charlotte and Eric are in custody...it's over. I just want to go to Paris and...try. Try to piece together something I don't remember' She raised her hands 'This could all be a massive waste of time, but I at least want to try' She whispered looking at me 'Please Bex' Her eyes were welling up. I bit my lip.

'Fine' I muttered defeated. Cammie's face lit up '3 days. We're with you at all times' Cammie gave me a massive hug

'Thank you Bex' She whispered. I squeezed her tight. She let go and walked ahead of me towards the house.

Cammie POV

My heart was racing like it never had before. I just convinced my best friend to take me to Paris and try to find answers. I definately know I'm going to get them. I know where I might get them as well. Niomi Henson and Ellen Brookes. Two safehouses. Two possibilites. All I have to do is sneak away from my three best friends and find them. It's easier said than done. It's strange how I'm hours or days away from finding out the final part of my summer story. Is this why I still have nightmares? Sometimes I go to sleep with no dreams dreamt and wake up screaming. Everyone knows I have nightmares...but sometimes we don't know why. I need to know who sent me the note: Paris is only a short flight away...I hate not telling them the truth I hate having to lie and run. I hate that that's my answer to everything. To run. Naturally when you're being chased your whole life you have to run. I've always known that my life would never be easy...as soon as I understood the world my parents were in, life was never going to be easy. Life was going to be a long distance challenge. It's given me love and loss. Health and pain. Death. I've lost one too many people. I'm not going to lose another, or myself again.
