Chapter 68: Chapter 68

Cameron's POV

I and Padgett stared at my mom in shock, as I pulled from Padgett and throw the duvet to cover her nude.

Cameron, I want to see you downstairs right now. She said hitting the door behind us, I look at Padgett that is shaking badly.

Calm down, you should not get scared. I said trying to console her.

Is she going to get mad at me? Will she throw me out, what if she doesn't want me here anymore?

You should stop thinking of the worse. There is no way I will let anyone hurt you, if she dares hurt you then she will have me to contend with. I said pulling her and pressing a kiss on her forehead before grabbing my stuff and fitting into it. She also gets dressed, and we both walked out of the room, I could practically see the fear in Padgett, I need to be strong for her, I need to protect her, when we get to the living room, dad was sitting still while mom was pacing. Padgett immediately gets behind me, while I tower over her.

Mom... I called out, my mom's face was far from anything pleasant.

I thought this was a joke... she raised her phone, showing me the screen, of I and Padgett kissing passionately in school, at the prom, my eyes went wide, even if she didn't see us together right now, she would still get to know the truth but how the heck did they get it? Padgett held my hands so tired, she was depending fully on me to solve this mess.

Tell me what the heck is this!!!!!" My mom yelled angrily and Padgett's grip became strong on me.

I'm sorry mom. I muttered

Are you crazy? What do you mean by you're sorry? I'm expecting you to deny this madness, but how could you, when I saw you touching her indecently a few minutes ago, this is not true, You're not in any way...... She took a glance at Padgett, and I could see tears forming at the side of her eyes, I know she is hurting but while will she be hurting when I did not sin, all I did was fall in love and I didn't see anything wrong

It's true and I love her. I muttered and my dad's eyes widened

How.....how come? How...is...it... possible...you two are siblings, she is your sister because she has been adopted legally, she is now your sister. Don't tell me this has been happening right under my nose, please don't tell me.....wait....have you ever....kissed her even while her mom was still alive. My mom asked Padgett gasped for air

Cameron!!! My mom yelled when I didn't say a word

I'm....sorry, yes, I told you that I don't want a sister, you kept insisting, I am in love with her while would I want you to adopt her. I mumbled still holding Padgett firmly

That is a yes right? My mom asked, I almost rolled my eyes at her, is she stupid or what? Can't she see the way, I looking at Padgett, the way I hold her back then, she should know that I am madly into Padgett

I nodded and immediately a punch landed on my face, that is my dad

Padgett gasped and immediately held me almost breaking into tears as she watch me, staggered to the couch

Please don't hit him, sir, please....." She said in tears

Nanny Nancy takes Padgett to her room and I don't want to see her downstairs. My mom called nanny Nancy

Wait!!! No!!! I don't want to leave Cameron

"Take her to her room, take her away!!! My dad yelled

Yes ma'am" Nanny Nancy held Padgett

No.....please let me stay here... Cameron!!! Padgett cried as nanny Nancy take her to her room

My dad and my mom face me with a disappointed look

"How dare you!! How dare you!!!" My dad shouted

I'm sorry dad...."

Stop saying you're sorry!!!" He yelled and started hitting me again as tears rolled down my eyes

Hon stop!!!

Did you just say stop? My dad yelled at her, as I bleed on the floor from all the punches my dad had inflict on me. You don't discipline him, you always let him get away with everything, you always do, don't you feel ashamed that your kids are having an affair, he is sleeping with her under the same roof as us, what will the society say? That my two kids committed incest, first thing tomorrow I want that girl out of my house, I never did want her under this roof but you insist, right now, I don't want to see her, she can't drag my name into the mud, so she should get out of this house in the morning.

No!!! Father!!! Please no!!! I begged you!!! I held on to his leg, and as my tears fall, I could take the pain but I can't possibly let Padgett go through same pain, never, I will never allow that.

That is my decision. He said pulling away from my grip, then dart upstairs, I run towards mom that is crying nonstop.

Mom please, talk to dad, you should talk to him, tell him to let Padgett stay, I might die knowing that she might not have what to eat

I feel so useless!!! I don't feel like a mother, I trusted you, Cameron!! How could you, She's only seventeen, why didn't you tell me, you were in love with her? We wouldn't have made it public, did you know that your dad made an official announcement yesterday that, he now has a daughter? She throws the magazine at me, which carried every detail of the interview he had where he declared Padgett his daughter, my tears drop. Just maybe, I should have just told them the reason I never wanted Padgett to be my sister, just maybe, I should have just told them everything from the onset.

How sure am I that this wasn't the first time, you two are getting intimate? I watch her tears drop, I couldn't say a word, all I could do was hold my bruise.

Stay away from that girl" My mom said as I looked up at her.

Mom, I can't....."

Then get ready to leave, I will prepare your flight right away, you are leaving for country A tomorrow. She yelled

No oh! I don't want to leave, I can't stay without Padgett.

Have you stopped to look at the bruises on your skin? Your dad will not think twice to inflict more on it and you think that your dad will let Padgett remain under the same roof with you?

But...

Cameron, stop it, just go to bed, and don't go to Padgett. She said leaving me on the floor, I cried as I think about all the probability that tomorrow might not turn up well but I have to hope that things won't get worse, I struggle to my room.

Padgett's POV

Padgett, you should eat. Nanny Nancy said.

No ma; I want to see Cameron, I don't know if he is hurting, I want to see him, dad and mom were mad at him, he was hurting him, I don't know if he is alright, please ma, I beg you to let me see him.

Padgett, you know that is not possible. Nanny Nancy said. Please, I won't stay long, I just want to see if he is fine if he is okay, I only want to see that.

Hon! She called in frustration. Fine, you go but do not stay long. She said, I nodded, probably she is feeling sorry for me, she walked out and then come back. Come on, let's go, you should be fast. She said as I hurry into Cameron's room, my eyes bulge, seeing how much bruises Cameron had sustained.

Oh, dear! I said running towards him.

Padgett, what are you doing here? You should go to your room, dad and mom will get mad if they found you here.

Cam, please don't push me away, just let me stay here, let me care for your bruises.

Padgett!!!

Please, I will die if I found out you are hurting and no one is caring for you. I said grabbing the ice and trying to help him with the bruises that he had, my tears kept falling.

Can you stop crying? He said cupping my face.

Are you going to break up with me? I asked as our eyes meet.

Stop thinking about that, I will not hurt you, you should trust me.

Let's run away.
