Disclaimer: Neither I nor Miss-Invisible-Heartbreak own the boys or show of BTR. We wished we did though. We would share them among the other rushers. Then again they are "Superstar"s who "Elevate" their fans the Rushers and "Show Me" or all of us, the Rushers, how to be Kind to one another, Encourage us to follow our Dreams and Help the World be a better Place. Can you Tell I Love the New BTR album. The Album is on repeat and I'm pretty sure it is going to "Blow Your Speakers" out. Okay so the following Conversation and James Point of View was written by Miss-Invisible-Heartbreak, Who worked hard through the night to write it. She is an amazing Talent. I wrote Cameron's Point of View
Chapter 14: Mom?
James POV:
"Hello?" I heard a woman's voice say, in a polite tone. Whoever it was, was a soft spoken woman. I could tell that just by her voice.
"Hi...Ummm.." I mumbled out, trying to find a way to ask how she was, without sounding like a rude jerk.
"Hello, Cameron, honey?" The woman questioned me.
Honey? Cameron doesn't have a girlfriend. Does he? Who is this? I thought
"Umm...No...This is his brother." I said, my voice filled with pride. I loved the way the word brother rolled out of my mouth. It was such a nice feeling.
"...Brother...Cameron, what?" The lady questioned me, sounding very shocked and confused.
The confused part I got, I mean I just told whoever this is, that Cameron had a brother. But the shocked part got me, it was not the kind of shocked I thought I would hear. It was like a I-Already-Know-But-You-Know-Too? shock. It made me curious of who this lady is.
"Yeah, brother. If you don't mind me asking, but who is this?" I asked the lady, making sure my tone was polite and soft, like Cameron's voice. She already thought I was Cameron anyway.
"This is Maria, honey, your mom. What are talking about having a brother? Are you playing are joke?" The lady said, sounding like she was in a daze.
I was in shock myself. This was his mom...
"...Yeah. A joke...Sorry M-Mom.." I stuttered out, my hand trembling so bad I thought I was going to drop the phone if I didn't hold on tightly like I was.
"Oh, good. I-I thought you might...Never mind, it's nothing." Cameron's mom said, her voice trembling a little with each word.
"Whose that Jamie?" I heard Cameron whisper sleepy, curling up into a ball. It was a cute sight, I almost "Awww'd" out loud. But I snapped out of it and I shook my head, holding the phone away.
"It's Kelly." I said, lying right through my teeth. I felt guilty about it, but I really wanted to talk to his mom.
He nodded, closing his eyes. I knew he was about to fall asleep any minute.
"Cameron? Honey?" I heard his mom call out. I pulled the phone back to my ear as I whispered quietly,
"I'm here...And m-mom, I wasn't joking when I said I had a brother...I know I have one...Because this isn't Cameron... my name is James David Diamond, and I'm Cameron's twin." I mumbled out the last part very quickly, hoping she wouldn't catch it all.
But...Luck wasn't on my side today.
"...James?...You two...my babies?" His mom cried out, sounding like she was going to cry.
Babies? Could she possibly be my Birth mother.
"Your babies? You mean the both of us?" I asked, my eyebrows raising so high I thought they would go right off my head.
"Yes, both of you." She said, her voice thick with I can only imagine that
were tears.
My head was spinning, and all that was going through it was "My babies, my
babies, my babies". She was calling me her baby too. And for some unknown
reason, that made my heart swell.
"...I'm your baby too?" I asked, fearful of the answer I might get. That one
answer could change everything I know. Everything I thought I knew.
"Yes. Your mine and Levi's baby. Just like Cameron." She stated as her voice was as
soft as can be. Well as soft as it can be when you sound like you are
crying.
This time I did drop the phone on the floor. I leaned back and sunk down the
wall in a total daze.
My life, my mom, my dad...Everything was changed now, all because of what that
Maria had just said. I could hear her calling out my name from the phone, but I
couldn't bring myself to pick it up.
I didn't know what would happen if I did. I didn't know what else would change
if I talked to her.
"My life has been all a lie…" I whispered out loud to myself, pulling my
knees to my chest. I felt like I couldn't breathe. That monster I thought was
my mom, wasn't? She hurt me and abused me all because I wasn't hers? Even if I
didn't know that for sure, it felt like it was right on the mark of why she did the things she has done to me.
"James? Honey? I know you must be confused, but please, hear what I have to say. Let me explain...Please..?" I heard, I guess, now, our mom, call out from the phone.
By that time though, I was already in tears. They were coming down like a rain pour, and I was trembling like no tomorrow. My whole life was all some one big old lie.
But I was happy, somewhere deep inside, I was happy. Maybe she was a better mom then the monster of a woman I thought was my mom.
So with that in mind, I crawled across the floor and I made my way towards the phone. Once I was close enough, I picked it up and I pulled it to my ear.
"O-Okay...Explain then, please." I mumbled out, my voice thick with tears. I didn't even know if they were happy tears or sad ones, now...
"Your father and I had an affair seventeen years ago, we were married to other people of course, but we were unhappy in our marriages. So very unhappy, and that is when we would find happiness...With each other." She said, in a soft, sad voice. "We didn't plan it that way, but that is how it happened. It was a secret only we knew. And being so…young, it was exciting. But that all ended, when I found out I was pregnant, with twins. You and Cameron...And that you boys were his." She continued, sighing a soft sigh.
I understood, somewhat. I mean, if you are unhappy, you should do something to make you happy...But I didn't understand why me and Cameron were separated. I mean if they were so unhappy, why didn't they just leave their spouses and get together. It would of been easier on me and Cam...
"So what happened after that?" I questioned her, letting the tears tear slip down my cheek. I'll tell Cam after im done talking to mom
"Your father knew you two were his, but he didn't want to ruin his marriage or his relationship with his brother. So he told me he would take one of you when you were born and raise you with his wife." She continued, sounding so very sad. It made my heart ache a little, knowing she had to give me up and even worse, let me raised by some other woman.
"We knew we had to tell our spouses, and we did, it was hard but we did...And that is when your step-father started drinking. He didn't want to raise neither one of you..." She stated, sighing. She then continued, making my heart ache for Cameron. "But he didn't want me being with someone else. So he stuck with me, even if he didn't want to. And it was the same with your father's wife...And you know the rest. Cameron stayed with me, and you went with your father..." She cried out, sounding like she was sobbing.
I felt awkward at that moment, I didn't know what to say to comfort her. I was
never too good with this stuff, I mean I was kinda with Cam...But not with
someone I just met. That I just found out was my mom.
"Hey… please don't cry; I know you were only doing it because you had to. I
don't blame you, really." I pleaded to her, holding the phone tightly to my
ear. I had a feeling that is why she did it, because she had to. Not because
she wanted to. So to tell the truth, I didn't blame her at all.
"B-But I-" She tried to say, but I cut her off, quickly but gently.
"You didn't. You didn't want to. I don't blame you for what you did, I just
wished I grew up with you and Cameron in my life." I stated, truthfully. And
it was true, I did wish I had them, instead of my cruel "Mom".
"You sound like your father so much. He use to be so forgiving like that…" I
heard my mom say, still sounding like she was crying.
I didn't know what to do to make her stop, I didn't like the idea of her
crying for some reason. I guess it's a mom to child thing.
"There isn't anything that needs to be forgiven. You did what you had to do."
I stated, finally, smiling a little. It wasn't my normal full blow smile, but
it was okay for now. My crying slowed as I heard her say,
"Thank you...I wish I could talk more, but the nurse is coming in. Please call
me when you can, and tell Cameron to do the same, please? I-I love you James,
my beautiful son."
My breath caught, and I felt more tears fall down my face. I never heard such
words from my other mom, so to hear them from her...It made me happy. So very happy to hear what she told me.
"I-I love you too. M-Mom...I promise I will and I will tell him so too.
Bye..." I hung up the phone, a little reluctantly. I stared to sob, letting phone slide out my hand, because I wanted to talk to her more, learn more about her. But, I guess that will have to wait...For a while at least.
Cameron's POV
Right as I got comfortable I heard something hit the floor. I decided to look over where the noise was coming from and saw James against the wall with his knees to his chest. My phone on the floor within crawling distance of him with the person on the other side of the phone calling his name.
I was worried about what happened in the conversation and why my sweet brother was in the state he was in. What I learned from my first encounter with him was that he is the one who always had confidence in his skills, solid-voiced, driven beyond belief, sometimes an airhead, and a good loyal friend I also learned that the way people see him as shallow and conceited are just walls he puts up around himself to hide a part of him that he wants no one to see, like anyone that is close enough to him like Carlos, Logan, Mrs. Knight, Kendall and Kendall's sister Katie, I think that's her name, he is caring and always thinking of others and protective of others.
I wonder what is wrong. I rolled of the couch and started to crawl to him. As I got closer to him he crawled for my phone to finish his conversation with whoever is on the other end of the phone. After a while I saw some tears slip out of his eyes and the next thing I know he is sobbing loudly. The phone slides out of his right hand. I crawled faster so I could comfort him.
When I got closer to him, I sat by my brother and pulled him close. Then I started to rub his back in small circles, it seemed if it started to calm him down. He wrapped his arms around me and continued to cry.
I then carefully reached for my phone to see who called. It was my mom. What did she say? I felt James grip get tighter on me then I kissed the top of James' head. I'll ask him later. Right now he needs me.
