The Secrets of an Abusive Home
Chapter 6 – Sunday (part 2) – 3rd Person POV
Quote: Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
"Ms. Morgan!" a voice shouted down the hall.
"Shit," Meredith and Cammie mumbled at the same time.
"Cammie, were going to get in so much trouble," Meredith whispered.
"Cammie, come on," Mike said, pulling her arm. "Cammie!" he whispered shouted while Cammie continued to stare at Zach.
"Miss Morgan!" the voice was getting closer.
"Fuck. Cammie, let's go!" Taking one look at Zach, Mike smirked, picked Cam up bridal style and ran.
"What the fuck?" Zach asked to the almost empty corridor.
Meredith gave him a smile, "They don't like it when we skip breakfast, especially newbies like that girl," and with that she ran after Cammie and Mike.
***** Cammie's POV *****
"Mike, I think you can put me down now," I said as he stepped into the secret passageway that lead back to the lunch room. He sighed and let me down but he kept a hand around me waist.
Meredith caught up to the second we stepped out of the passageway.
"Ms. Morgan," a stern voice called.
"Yes?" I coughed awkwardly.
"You are supposed to stay in the lunch room during all me, that goes for all of you but there's someone here for you. Come with me."
The lady led me to my room and told me to get my stuff, which only consisted of Zach's sweatshirt and a toothbrush they gave me. After that, she led me down to where almost got in trouble earlier.
Zach, Grant, and Mrs. Newman we're standing at the end of the hall. "Ms. Morgan, this family is adopting you. I hope you enjoyed your stay."
"No one enjoys their stay," I mumbled under my breath. She glared at me. I guess she heard . . . oops.
After the lady walked away I looked down at my feet in awkward silence, "Thank you," I finally managed.
"Sweetheart, I wouldn't have it any other way. You mean a lot to my son and Zach who might as well be my son, and you don't deserve to be taken away from the people that you. It's no problem really."
"Cam?" Meredith's voice called from the end of the hall.
"Can I say goodbye, quickly." Mrs. Newman nodded so I took of down the hall.
"You're leaving aren't you," she said.
"Meredith, I –"
"That's great Cammie," she tried to smile.
"Want to meet them?" her smile became more genuine so I laughed and pulled her down the hall.
"Mrs. Newman, this is Meredith, she's my roommate."
"Ex-roommate, but it's nice to meet you Mrs. Newman."
"It's nice to meet you to Meredith, but I believe Cammie was right when she said roommate."
"Huh? But aren't you adopting Cammie?"
Mrs. Newman smiled but didn't say anything. Meredith looked at me but I was just as confused.
"Meredith!" The annoying lady called, "You're supposed to be in the lunch room! But seeing as you're here already, I guess you can meet your new family and then go get your stuff."
Meredith looked at me, the biggest smile on her face. "Thank you Mrs. Newman," and we went running off to our room to get her stuff.
We ran the corner and I smacked into a hard surface. Meredith kept going but I stared at the guy in front of me, "Hey Mike . . ."
"You two are leaving aren't you?"
"Mike we –"
He cut me off, "I'll take that as a yes. I'll be getting out of here soon enough."
I gave him a weird look but he just focused on something behind me. I went to turn around so I could see too, but he just grabbed me arms, "Cam," he said lightly, running his hand down my arm. "I'll see you soon, okay."
"Okay?"
I stated as a question but he just shook his head and said, "You'll find out soon enough,"
He stared into my eyes for a little while as if debating something, slowly he moved closer to me. "Cam," his breath was warm against my skin, "Goodbye," and with that he pressed his lips to mine.
Slam.
His body was pulled off of mine and shoved into the nearby wall before I could even think. Mike's body sank to the floor as my eyes traced up to find Zach's.
"Don't ever do that again," he said through clenched teeth. Mike didn't respond.
Zach scowled and started heading back from where he came, I ran to catch up with him. "Thanks, Zach," he didn't answer. "Zach?" Still nothing. "Zach?" I asked, waving my hand in his face.
He just turned to me and glared before turning back to face forward.
"If you hate me so much, why are you here, Zach? Why did you come?"
"Ha, you wish I hated you. That would make it so much easier for you." He basically spit in my face.
"Why would that make it easier?" I asked grabbing his arm and stopping him from walking farther. "Why would I want you to hate me?"
"So that you and that Micah kid can go fuck in a broom closet!" she shouted, raising his hand in the air.
Tears instantly found their way to my eyes as I stepped back in fear.
"How could you . . ." I trialed over moving closer into the corner. I could have said a lot of thing. How could you think that? How could you hit me? But instead I left it blank.
"Wait Cammie I didn't mean to . . ." but Zach's voice drowned out as I took off and ran to my room.
I let my back slide down the wall as I heard Zach's fist banging on the door behind me.
"What the hell just happened?" Meredith's voice called from the bathroom doorway.
