Reliving The Past

Chapter 22

When Ric and Cam get to Elizabeth's room, they look at her from the window. But then Cam takes a deep breath.

"I need to go in and tell my mom." Cam says, heading for the door.

"Hey, you aren't supposed to go in there." Sonny says, rushing over to stop Cam from entering the room.

"Mr. Corinthos, I have to tell my mom something. It's very important." Cam looks serious.

"I'm sure your mom would like you to wait until she was better. She wouldn't want you to see her with those tubes and machines." Sonny smiles and tries to be gentle.

"Please Mr. Corinthos! If we leave before my mom wakes up, she would want to know this. PLEASE!" Cam is almost in tears.

"Fine. But when you get out of there, I want to know what this is." Sonny looks grumpy.

"Ok. Can I use my cellphone in there with the machines?" Cam asks.

"Yeah. Why?"

"Because I need it to tell my mom." Cam opens and closes the door. He walks slowly over to Elizabeth. "Mom, I don't know if you can hear me. But I have to try to tell you. I didn't get a chance to tell you at Grandma Audrey's house. But I was also angry because I got these pictures sent to my phone. They all have to do with you. I don't understand what they are. This one is you in a red dress. It's ripped and you look dirty. Your hairs a mess. You are holding a shoe. It's a red high heel. And Dad's there. You have a weird look on your face. Then there is this other photo. It's of you. You have a pipe of some kind in your hand and you are standing over a man. Mom, these pictures scared me. I don't want you to be mad at me. But this other picture is what made me so angry. It's you and Uncle Nikolas. Kissing and his shirt is off. And he's starting to take yours off. I'm sorry for being mad mom, but I just wanted you and Jake, oh Jason to be together. I know he is married to Danny's mom. But he was an awesome dad. I wanted him to be my dad. Not that I would hate dad. But I want a dad I can love and that is here." Cam starts to cry. Ric sees this and enters to help Cameron.

"Hey buddy. Are you done?" Ric kneels down in front of Cam.

"Yeah. If she even heard me." Cam says. Elizabeth's hand opens and closes in a fist. It does this a few times. But it takes Ric and Cam a few moment's to see it.

"Elizabeth, open your hand if you hear me." Her hand opens. "Ok, are you in pain? Close your hand if you are." Her hand stays open. "Good. Do you understand what Cam said? Close your hand if you did." She closes her hand.

"Mom, I love you. So does Jake and Aidan. But we have to go to Grandma and Grandpa Webber's house. But when you are healed and feeling better, call us. Ok?" Cam says, Elizabeth opens her hand.

"Ok, I'm going to take Cam out of here. Give us a minute and Sonny will be in. Get better soon Liz." Ric and Cam leave. Outside here room, Cam tells Sonny about the pictures.

"Mr. Corinthos, these pictures were sent to me a few days ago. The account said Emma Drake. So I thought it was Emma. But when I saw the pictures I knew it wasn't. See." Cam shows the pictures to Sonny and Ric. Both men are in shock and a little disgusted that someone would send these kinds of photos to a kid. No less, the kid of the woman in the pictures.

"Did you show these to anyone else Cam?" Sonny asks.

"No. But I just told my mom about them. I thought whoever shot her and at us, might be the person behind these. I was mad at her. But I'm not now. I'm just confused. Why would someone do this to my mom and my family? Maybe if I would have shown this to her when I first got them, she wouldn't be in there right now." Cam has tears streaking down his tanned skin.

"Cam, you are being so grown up about this. Honey, he sent her actual pictures. So even if you had shown her those pictures, it wouldn't have stopped this from happening. And if your Grandparents say some not so nice things about your mom, don't listen. They are just worried about your mom. Just like how your mom worries about you. Sometimes she yells at you because she's worried. Well, her parents are worried about her. That's all. And I will give you a phone so you can call me anytime you want. Ric too. Anyone. But you also need to try to get to know your Grandparents. Your mom would want you to. Is there anything that you want to take with you to your grandparent's house? I sent a few guys to your house to get you kids packed up. So if you want anything from there, let me know and I will have them grab it." Sonny says, waiting for a response.

"Jake will want his art set and paper. Aidan will want his bag of trucks and cars." Cam puts his head down.

"Hey, what's up?" Sonny crouches down to get closer to his level.

"Well, I don't tell mom, but I write. But I write so much that at home I have a secret place I put them. Mom won't let me take the computer. So nothing for me. I will deal with watching over my brothers. And get to know my grandparents. As long as you guys watch over my mom. She pretends to be stronger then she is. But I hear her cry at night sometimes. I try to be good so she will cry less." Sonny can see a few tears drop to the floor. Sonny pulls him into a hug.

"Cameron Webber-Spencer, you are the most wonderful boy a parent could have. Don't you worry about your mom. You just go and have fun. Write down all the interesting stuff you see and do in England. I'm sure your mom would love to read what you have to say and what you experience. I would love to read it too. You call me at least once a week. Even if you are happy. I want to know you are ok." Sonny lets him out of the hug.

"You are very special Cameron. You never told me you like to write. Why is that?" Ric says, looking down at him. Hand on his shoulder.

"Because. I don't want people to make a big deal of it. Mom would get all sad and cry. I just started writing and found I liked it. I'm not even good. I just do it for me." Cam says, embarrassed that he even said anything. While Ric and Cam talk, Sonny goes off and calls the people at Elizabeth's house. Tells them what to pick up for the younger boys. Then tell him to go to an open computer store and get an easy portable laptop with a printer. And one of those voice activated headsets that writes what you speak. And a nice carry case for it. So Cam would be set. And a nice camera. For being so sweet. He knew if he asked Elizabeth if he could have one, she would say no. Too proud to take a gift like that. When he was done with his call, he goes back to the boys.

"Ok, you need to go meet Franco and Jake in the cafeteria. While you guys do that, I will go check on Laura and Audrey. I will meet you there in a few minute. Get something to eat or drink." Ric and Cam head off to the cafeteria. Sonny goes into Elizabeth's room.

"Liz, don't worry. Your boys are much protected. I'll make sure of that. But Audrey is not feeling well. I'm going to go check on her. The boys stuff are packed. When I check on Audrey, I will see if she's able to fly. If not, I will take the boys myself tonight. They will be safe I promise. You focus on getting better. Audrey would want that. I will come back to see you when I have taken the boys to England. I'm getting Cam a phone that he can use to call here anytime. So you and he will have constant access to each other. You did a terrific job with Cameron, Liz." Elizabeth's hand opens and closes. Sonny grabs her hand. "It's ok. You know how I feel about kids. They will be safe as can be. When you wake up and are feeling better, you can call them. You just get better." Sonny, can see a tears slipping down the outside corner of her eye. He wipes it away. He kisses her forehead then whispers, "its ok." The walks out of the room.

In the art therapy room, Jake and Franco are cleaning up from their painting.

"Franco, why do I have to go away? Doesn't mom love me?" Jake asks, putting away they freshly washed paint brushes.

"Yes. You mom loves you very much. I love you very much. But what happened to mom today, could have happened to you or your brothers. She just wants you to be safe. As soon as we catch this guy, then you can come home. If I can, I will come with whoever to get you. You can call me anytime. We can video chat like we did when you were in the hospital. But you need to draw me pictures. Lots of pictures when you are there." Franco says, smiling. But deep down he was sad he was leaving.

"I'm scared of these people. I don't know them." Jake looks worried.

"Don't worry. Your grandma Audrey will be there. Cam and Aidan. These people raised your mom. They can't be all that scary." Franco tries to calm his fears. But he feels the same way.

"I just can't stop being afraid." Jake says, then turns and walks out. Franco rushes after him.
