Fast times at Clairemont High

Cameron's pov



I run around the house trying to find Kellin, but he is no where to be found. I don't understand what is going on, but all I know is that I want Kellin to tell me everything is going to be okay. I walk in his room and find that he isn't there. As a matter of fact nothing is there.

It's just an empty cold room.

Wait.

What is that?

I find a note on the floor, it says

It's all your fault.

What is my fault? I look around the rest of the house trying to find answers to the questions screaming in my head.

Where is everyone?

What did I do?

I go to my room and find Kellin hanging there. From the ceiling fan.

I scream in terror. His eyes open and he gasps for air. Kicking and holding the rope trying to breathe.

I run over to try to help him but my feet are stuck to the floor. I try to scream for help but I make no sound.

What is going on? I think to myself.

I sit down with my feet still glued to the floor. I sit there and watch him dangle, there is nothing I can do to help him.

He finally manages to speak.

"It's your fault"

He repeats that sentence over and over again.

I cover my ears and try to drown out the words but it gets louder and louder.

I put my head in between my knees, tears flowing down my face.

"I didn't know, I'm sorry" I let escape from the back of my throat.

"You did know, you just chose to look the other way. Now look at me. This is your fault. You could have fixed it when you had the chance but now you're too late." Kellin says

"No" I say over and over again.

I close my eyes, while repeating the word no.

I feel someone shake me, I open my eyes to Vic.

It was just a dream.

A terrible dream.

"Are you okay?" Vic asked with concern filling his eyes.

I'm drenched in sweat and tears.

"No" I say and he wraps his arms around me and we sit like this for a couple of minutes.

"Here lay down" He says pulling the blankets over me and him.

He then again wraps his arm around me and holds me until I drift into a deep sleep.

I woke up around 11:00 am.

I try not to wake Vic up as I untangle his arm from around me.

I think this is the first time he's slept in my bed.

I don't know why but he prefers to sleep on the floor rather then in my bed with me. I tried to ask him once and he said that it's just a person space thing. It's something I've become accustomed to.

With me and him we have this little routine. I much prefer to hang out with guys over girls. With guys the only drama there is, is if someone likes the other. And that's just it, but with girls. Don't even get me started. They get all 'emotional' and I'm just not like that. I'm not a feelings type of girl. I suck it up and keep it to myself because that's how it should be.

I don't get how Vic can sleep in full pajamas, it's way too hot. For me I sleep in a pair of boxers and a tank top. But he likes to wear long sleeve shirts and pajama pants. I guess he is just use to the california weather.

I daintily walk over to my larger bay window and sit on the ledge. I think about my dream, what could it mean?

It just felt so real.

I haven't had a dream that bad since before I moved.

I use to get bad dreams a lot as a kid. I don't know why but I just did.

I dread having to talk about this today with Vic. I know he's going to ask and I'm going to have to answer but I don't want to. Like I said I don't like to talk about my feelings. Maybe I'll just pretend like it never happened. That's what I like about Mike. He'll bring up a subject and if I say I don't want to talk about it then fine. He'll drop it, but with Vic he'll bug me about it until I tell him.

But today is suppose to be a fun day, after all it is Halloween. The one day a year you get to be someone other than yourself, and you get free candy out of it! Like who wouldn't love that?

I should probably make breakfast for me and Vic. What should I make? I could ask Vic what he wants, but he looks so cute when he sleeps, I don't want to wake him up.

Pancakes! I love pancakes.

Mmm just the thought of them makes my mouth water.

I walk out of my bedroom over to the kitchen, and pull out a pan.

I pull out my phone and start looking for music to play.

It wasn't long before a sleepy Vic came waltzing about into the kitchen. With a yawn and a big stretch. His sleeve pulls up as he stretches.

Whoa. Wait a second. What happened to his arm?

I can't help but stare at his arm as he walks over towards me. Once he realizes his sleeve pulled up he quickly pulled it back down.

I know what it is I'm not stupid.

Kellin went through the same thing.

Should I say something?

No that would just make things awkward.

But then again I want him to know I'm here for him.

"So...? Pancakes again?" Vic asks.

"Don't tell me you're sick of pancakes?" I say with a pout.

"How about I make breakfast today?"

"Sure" I say with a slight smile. I guess it would be nice to take a break from pancakes after all that is all I eat when I actually decide to make breakfast. I've noticed that when I'm with Vic I eat more.

He pulled out stuff from the fridge and I sat back at the table and watched him.

He made a breakfast burrito with salsa, it had a fancy Mexican name, he said it's something his mama use to make him as a kid. It was so good. (Even better then my pancakes.)

After breakfast we decided to go out and buy last minute costumes.

We pulled up to the mall in Vic's car, I'm not one for going out in public but with Vic by my side I should be fine.

We walk into the Halloween store, it was packed. So many people waiting till the day of to buy there costumes.

I'm kind of nervous, there's way too many people in here. Vic grabs my arm and pulls me to the back of the store giving me a look of reassurance, he must have known how uneasy I felt.

Am I that obvious?

"So what do you want to be?" Vic asked as we were looking around.

"I haven't decided yet, I wanted to be Alice in wonderland but I don't know, what about you?" I asked

"Oh me and a couple friends of mine are going to be the teenage mutant ninja turtles" Vic said with a smile.

"Sick! Which one are you going to be?" I asked, "Probably Michaelangelo, he's my favorite" he replied.

Vic went off to find his costume, and left me alone standing in a crowd full of people... I decided on being Alice.

After searching though the entire store I finally found Alice in wonderland, it was the last one. I went to go reach for it but some chick pushed me out of the way, and grabbed it first. Her and a group of her friends were laughing. Instead of getting mad I just brushed it off and walk away.

"What was with that?" Vic asked walking back over to me with his costume in his hand

"Just some bitch, don't worry about it" I said while trying to find another costume.

"Here what about this?" Vic asked while holding up a little red riding hood costume.

"Why not, it's not like I'm going anywhere tonight" I said with a shrug

After we got out of there and back to my place I felt a sigh of relief flow through me. I can not stand crowded places.

For most of the day me and Vic just sat around watching movies, until about 5:40 when I heard the door bell ring, I opened it to find the cutest little boy in a dragon costume. He was about 2, he was so excited and I grabbed the candy (which was still in it's packaging) opened it up and gave him a couple pieces.

I thought it was about time to put my costume on, I went into my room and tried it on. They should probably have change rooms at the halloween store because it was a bit small. My boobs were just barely covered and it was a bit short up my thigh.

This is definitely not kid friendly. I grabbed the basket that came with it and filled it up with candy.

I heard the door bell ring again, I trotted down the stairs with my cape on my back and the basket in my hand. Another group of toddlers and their parents. One was a bunny the other was princess.

I love Halloween. Kids get so excited. The smiles on their faces was priceless.

Vic came down the stairs in his costume and oh my. He is so frickin adorable.

The next couple hours was pretty typical, kids come, I give them candy.

Me and Vic started the nightmare on elm street series, but then at 9:30. I heard a knock on the door and nothing could have prepared me for what was on the other side of that door...
