Chapter 4: Losing yourself
Cam'Ron Pov*
I woke with the feeling of someone on top of me. I pulled the covers off me to reveal a naked Thea on top off me. I instantly began to panic not being able to remember the events of last night. I quickly shook Thea off of me which woke her up.
" Good Morning Cam'Ron." Thea said sitting up stretching as she sat up on the bed. I was scared to ask what happened last night and worried about the answer I would receive.
" Thea what happened last night?" I asked. Upon hearing my question a smirk appeared on Thea's face
" Well big bro if the pain in my legs is anything to go off we definitely had sex." she said causing a look a panic to spread across my face. Thea was only 17 not to mention being my sister even if only by adoption.
" If you think what we did was wrong it was simply 2 people having sex." Thea said
" No its not. Thea your only 17 not to mention your family." I replied
" 1st I'm above the age if consent, second were not blood family, and third I didn't do anything I didn't want to." Thea replied. I looked at her in disbelief not believe what I was hearing.
" Thea I'm your older brother I'm supposed to protect you from taking advantage of you." I said
" You just promised last night to stop treating me like kid and more like an adult." she said
" That doesn't mean I'm supposed to fuck you hours after coming to that agreement." I said
" You aren't that mad at what we did more than your scared about what Ollie will do if he finds out. Or are you " she said
" Were not telling anybody about what happened here today. Do you understand." I stated, however she still had a defiant look on her face.
" Fine." was her short reply. After we finished that conversation we were quiet leaving the hotel room that we were in and getting in my car before going home. However we had to stop at the gas station before going home. When we got to the gas station Thea went inside to grab something while I filled up my tank. After I was. After I was done filling up my tank I sat in my car waiting for Thea. Out of my mirror I saw Thea getting harassed by 2 males leaving the store. Getting out of my car I walked over to Thea.
" I think it's obvious she's not interested." I said grabbing Thea's hand leading her to the car
" Hey." 1 of the guys said
" Like I said she isn't interested leave her alone before I make you." I said pushing Thea behind me.
" Is that a threat?" he questioned as he and his friend pulled knifes out of their pocket
" You don't want to do this." I said
" Oh I think we do." he said
" Thea get in the car." I said cracking my knuckles this would be the first time since coming home I would be fighting in any form. Once Thea was secured in the car I turned around. " I'm gonna give you one more chance back away." However before I could finish the first one slash at my chest. However I reacted and disarmed him pressing him against the car. While I had him pressed up his friend tried to push me off him from behind. I knocked him down to the ground. With the situation handled I began to walk around my car to the driver side before 1 of them spit on me. From this point on I saw nothing but red. I lost full control of my body as rage took full control. I picked the guy of the ground and threw him into one of the gas pumps. Then I delivered punch after punch to his face with no plan of stopping mira kuru powered blows straight to his face. At this point Thea was already out the car watching the onslaught.
" Stop Cam your gonna kill him!" she screamed but I couldn't hear her through my rage. Seeing that she wasn't getting through she walked up and grabbed my arm when I tried to land another blow grabbing my arm. I looked back to see that look of fear in her eyes that caused me to lose any anger I had felt at that moment. That look of fear confirmed a lot of the fears that I had coming back from the Island. She pulled me off him and back into the car that look of fear never leaving her face.
" That above all else is the reason we could never be together I'm dangerous to everyone around me." I said. We were silent for the rest of the car ride home getting home at 7am just before everyone was awake to notice we were gone. We each went to our separate rooms not saying a word to each other.
3rd person pov*
Oliver was being led into Queens consolidated by his mother and Walter having hi flooded by memories of his time in starling pre Queens Gambit. However he had to stay focus on keeping up his immature playboy persona. As he listened to Walter explain the success of Queens Consolidated during his absence he began to think of a way to not assume a large role in the company. He was deep in thought until the mention of his father.
" We would like to honor your father by dedicating the building in his name." Walter said referencing the new building.
" And we'd like to make an announcement that you'll be taking a leadership position in the company." Moira says and mid sentence Cam'Ron walked into the office.
" What's going on here?" he asked once the door closed
" Were just telling Oliver about the new applied sciences building, and the leadership position he'll be taking in the company." Moira said
" No I'm happy about the building, but I don't want to lead anything besides Walter is doing just fine." Oliver said
" You said that you wanted to be a different person. And you are Robert Queen's son." Moira said
" No offense but Oliver not only isn't qualified isn't interested in running the company, it was never his dream and he shouldn't be forced to just because Robert is forced to." Cam'Ron said
" Everyone here understands that the transition is difficult for Oliver." Walter interjected
" Do you though do you really who here can imagine the things we did to get back to starling city, and once we finally get here expect to conform and be a person that we aren't." Cam'Ron said and he would have continued had a Oliver not signaled for him to stop. " All I'm saying is that your happy that were back but you haven't even thought about what we want just what you would expect from us if we hadn't been on a island for 5 years" he said before leaving the office. Oliver followed him out to talk to him as he hopped on the elevator to talk to him.
" Great Job Cam they totally fell for it." Oliver said as they rode down to the lobby.
" Your welcome though you just made me the target of a lot of anger Ollie." Cam'Ron said " You owe me one anyways I'm going back home meet me at the Factory later tonight got something to talk to you about." With that said they parted ways as Oliver went back up to the office to keep appearances and Cam'Ron went home to go check on the thing he wanted to show Oliver. Cam'Ron went to the house and went to Moira's room to look for something. Going into the closet I began to look for a old shoe box. Once he finally found the box he looked inside to find a single slip of paper that had a bank accounting number for a trust fund his father had opened for him. He went to Starling city bank to figure out the situation with gaining access to his trust fund.
He walked into the bank and he walked up to the front desk to chat with someone.
" Excuse me I would like to know how to gain access to this trust fund my father created for me." Cam'Ron said
" One moment sir we'll get someone with you in minute please have a seat." The lady at the desk said. As Cam'Ron sat down he only hoped that there wouldn't be much trouble in gaining access to the account as it would make his and Oliver's job easier. He had been sitting there for 20 minutes before he was approached by someone.
" Mr. Bailey if you'd follow me to my office." he said
" Lead the Way." Cam'Ron said. He stood up and followed the man to his office.
" Okay Mr. Bailey you should have access to 2 different trust funds right now okay. Obviously there is the one your father set up for you which after your five years away has been completely untouched but in your will you gave the rights to that fund to Thea Queen. Luckily you can regain control of that through some simple paperwork." the bank associate said this caused a look of concern to goes across Cam'Ron's face. He hasn't talked to Thea since the ordeal yesterday.
" Okay, but what is this about a second trust fund that I'm hearing about?" Cam'Ron asked
" Well you weren't here for the the reading of the will but with Robert Queen thought deceased you were supposed to be left a trust fund of 20 million dollars from him." he said
" So where is that money now?" Cam'Ron asked
" Well actually it's just been untouched sitting here in Starling bank and you can assume control of it right now." the associate said
" That's great news." Cam'Ron said. With this ordeal sorted out Cam'Ron spent the next 2 hours at the bank to gain control of his 2nd trust fund. Once he was done at the bank he hopped in his car and went home to deal with the situation at home. When Cam'Ron got home it was late but almost no one was home. It was just him Thea and Raisa. He walked up the Stairs to Thea's room and opened her door to find she was still asleep. He walked up to her bed an began to shake her so she'd wake up. She began to stir and Cam'Ron started thinking about all the ways this conversation could go. Once Thea was fully awake she sat up in her bed and was met with the face of her adopted brother.
" What are you doing Cam?" she asked rubbing her eyes.
" We need to talk." he said
" If this is about last night I still haven't changed my mind." she said
" You still don't get it Thea at that gas station I lost control and I could have hurt you." he began
" But you didn't you still listened to me when I told you to stop. You want me to fear you for protecting you." she said
" Thea I'm not the same person you remember." he said
" Yes you are you just don't want to show it." she said
" No I'm not." he replied
" Would you protect me from anything?" she asked
" Yes." he answered
" Would you ever purposely try to hurt me." she asked
" No." he answered
" And will you always be in my life." she asked
" Yes." he answered
" Then your still the same guy who would pick me up from school. The same guy who promised to protect me everyday of his life." she said coming up and grabbing his face forcing him to look her in the eyes. Both of them slowly creep their lips closer to each other. But just before there lips could connect Cam'Ron pushed Thea away before they could.
" No Thea even if that may be true I've become the type of guy I'm supposed to protect you from." he said " Remember that night I told you I made a promise to protect you?"
" Yeah what about it?" she inquired
" That was the last thing I ever told your father it was probably hours before the boat went down and that was the last thing I ever told him." he said
" Thank you for telling me that. But can I tell you something?" she said straddling his lap after his repeated resistance. " You the last thing I ever promised dad that I'd find a guy who would treat me like you."
" What."
" Yeah it was the day before y'all got on the boat you were in the yard working on your car and I was watching remember?" she asked
" Yeah I was driving you home from school and my car started making some weird noises." he said
" Yeah I used to have you pick me up just to get my friends jealous they all had a crush on you including me." she said " Anyway I went to grab you some water and he pulled in and saw me watching you. He told me that day that whatever boy I ended up with to make sure they treat me like you do."
" Why would he say that?" he asked
" You second guess yourself so much still your the man that every girl wishes for the one parents are excited when their daughters bring home. And I've seen you like that since I was 12."
" Fine if we do this no one can know. Were not having sex again until I decide I'm ready, and you have to stop doing drugs."
"Fine now kiss me." she said
