AN: I DON'T OWN ANYTHING EXCEPT FOR THE CHARACTERS THAT I CREATED. This filler chapter contains more reactions/thoughts from the rest of Camille's friends.
Jo's POV:
My sweet, kind, stubborn best friend hid this from me? I can't imagine how hard it would've been to be separated from my own brother. If the only one reason I had to live for was gone I would've broken down.
I know my dad is strict and I sometimes detest that about him but anything would be better than being abused by him. To be bullied and not to fit in would be a terrible replacement for abuse. Moving from foster home to foster home- starting life over again and again would be unbelievably hard.
Camille has been bottling up his feelings for the past few years but now she has people she can go to. I hope she knows that I will always be there for her. Anything to restore the lack of happiness she had in her childhood. I'm grateful that I was blessed with such a great life I only wish the same could go for Camille….
Kendall POV:
I know my life has been tough. My parents got a divorce when I was only nine. Even with my dad sending us payments every month there wasn't enough money for everything we wanted especially with my mom only having a waitress's salary. However, nothing amounts to this.
If the person who was supposed to be chasing away the nightmares was causing them instead, I don't know what I would do. To be a human punching bag, be a bullying victim and to be neglected would be too much for anyone to take. Especially being separated from my own sibling. If I lost Katie I would die.
Camille has always been our rock but now for the first time, she has broken down. We were here for her but now she has another worry. Her father was after her. Why would anyone be after such a sweet girl? The guys, Jo, Steph and I would protect her no matter what.
James POV:
Camille. The very thought of her being hurt bring tears to my eyes. To imagine her scared out of her mind, injured in every way possible makes me choke on sobs. It seems like a nightmare that you think isn't real but when you realize it really was- it makes it a lot worse.
Before I was obsessed with my looks, now all I want is to make Camille's hurt and pain go away. Her story makes me realize that I shouldn't forget to appreciate the little things in life such as friends and family.
Carlos POV:
When I asked Camille earlier, "How bad could it be?" Never in a million years would I have thought it would be this. I'm not sure if I can return to my original, hyper self but I have to- to bring a smile to Cami's face.
I know I'm not the smartest person but I know enough to know that Camille's been through hell. What started as a fun night ended in total disaster. Camille wasn't kidding when she said it was going to be a long, depressing night. Her story still haunts me. But hopefully, with my lucky helmet I will be able to help protect her.
Stephanie's POV:
I know I haven't known Camille as long as the rest of them but that doesn't mean I'm not worried about her. Throughout the time I've known her, she has become one of my closest friends. She needed this- to let all her feelings go and not worry about what others think about her.
AN: I know the reactions got shorter as I continued but I felt like I was repeating the same thing over and over again. I hope you still stick with me even after this chapter and I promise that the next chapter is really dark and some-what mysterious. To make up for this, I wrote a one-shot called, "Before and After." Go check it out!
