bathroom with a huge bathtub. No shower, though. But I can make do with the tub. The kitchen is old; the tiles are broken, just like me. I walk back to the living room and sit on the couch, and dust flies up around me.
“Finally , a place I can be me and feel wanted.” I snicker into the quiet. “It figures that it happens when I am alone.”
I decide I better he ad to school before I get in trouble. I grab my backpack and head to school. Wow, I can’t believe how cold it is outside. When I walk up the steps to my school and walk in I can’t believe my eyes. There is Cameron, hugging Kelsey from behind.
“Hey dork?” Kelsey sa ys in my direction. “Looks like my boyfriend , Cam, here has realized how much of a freak you really are.” Everyone starts to laugh; even Cameron.
“ Why don’t you just go back to where you came from? After all, no one wants you here. Why don’t you take Amelia’s advice?” Cameron says with a smile on his face. Why is he being so cruel? I walk past him to get to my locker.
“I say we should wear purple to the homecoming dance , Baby. I can’t wait to get you to my parents’ beach house next Saturday,” I hear Kelsey tell Cameron.
“Come on , Baby; let’s get to class,” Cameron responds. Kelsey flips her hair over her shoulder as she tucks herself into Cameron’s side. “Bye, Loser,” he whispers to me as he walks by.
I c an’t believe what just happened. I decide to just go to all of my classes and listen to how the perfect couple will win homecoming king and queen. My heart is completely broken. I thought Cam and I had a connection. But I see I was so wrong.
At the end of the day things take a turn for the worst. I am shoved against the locker, and then Cameron turns me to face him. No one is around to see this.
“It’s all your fault my parents are dead. I really hope Amelia gets what she wants. Don’t come around me or my sister . Do you hear me?”
With that , he walks out of the school, and I just stand there confused. He is probably the reason I am not allowed back into their house. I wait a few minutes and then run from the school toward the cabin that I have made as my new home. When I reach it, I walk in, drop my bag on the floor, and then just cry. Maybe I will just end my life, since I’m not welcomed anywhere, anyway.
Chapter Eleven
Cameron
A week has passed since Kaleigh and I kicked Cordelia out of our house. I’m so mad at myself for doing that. It’s not really her fault that my parents were murdered while protecting her. After thinking about Amelia trying to kill her in the woods that day and her talking about Abem, I’ve really started to second guess the way I treated her when I had found out the truth. What does the most powerful Old One have to do with all this? He is the one that sent us here to protect her. It’s all very confusing. I haven’t seen her at school in the last two days and that has gotten me worried. When I do see her, she looks so sad. She did the assignment all on her own, likely in order to avoid me. If something has happened to her I don’t know what I would do. All I really want to do is find her and hold her and never let her go.
“Hey, little bro, what’s got you staring into space? Kelsey? You know I hate her. She is very annoying and, to be honest, a real bitch.” Kaleigh walks into the kitchen and grabs a cup of coffee.
“Actually, I’m not thinking of her. She’s very demanding and not very friendly. I was thinking of how Abem and Amelia have a connection. I wonder if they are working together to harm Cordelia.”
“Yeah; I’ve been thinking about that a lot. It’s all strange. He’s not supposed to take sides, but after you told me about that night my mind has been in overdrive. Something has me so curious, though. They knew I had known why our parents had died, but yet they still
