Padgett's POV.
Later that day, social welfares handle me over to the Adrian's since I am not up to eighteen and I got no fucking family, I really don't have an idea of my dad, the only thing I knew, was that my dad died a long time ago. The Adrian's where the only family available to take me in, if not I would had ended up in a foster home.
Finally the maid was done arranging my room, everything was in order. I walked into the room, I looked around, even though the room was beautiful and perfectly arranged more than my old room. I just still find it hard to believe that I lost my mommy and I no more in my house but here in same house of the one person I don't want to see again, my eyes are still looking red and swollen from the unstoppable tears, it even hurt more that I will never see my mommy anymore.
The door opened, I immediately wiped the slow tears rolling down my eyes, I turned and saw Cameron coming in.
"Hey..." Cameron called gently and I move back, I just don't want to come closer to him, I want to avoid him like a plague even though I live here in his house, I don't want people talking about me, I got tired of the names calling all because of him
Padgett, stop it, I am not going to hurt you. Cameron stopped walking closer to me, as he speak
I don't want to talk to you nor anyone, can you at least respect my decision for once? I asked
"Are you okay? You cried a lot, do you feel sick anywhere? You should stop, I really don't want you to fall sick. Cameron asked
"I will take care of myself please leave me alone" I muttered and lay on the bed
Cameron sighed and gently walked out of my room, I opened my eyes and started crying again. I was missing everything already, my room, my home, especially my mommy.
I want to go back there, I am sure my mommy will come back, she will definitely comes back. My inner self refused to let me rest, as the tears kept rolling down my eyes
The door suddenly opened again and I closed my eyes instantly pretending to be sleeping. I was expecting Mrs Adrian to turned around and leave but she didn't she sat down beside me on the bed and began stroking my hair, those fingers felt like my mommy's fingers
I love you baby, I love you so much, even though your mommy is no more here, I will always be here for you, I will be your new mommy,from now on I will never let anyone hurt you nor make you cry... Mrs Adrian kept talking and stroking my hair, it's just like those days that I spend in the hands of my mommy, her voice sounded like my mommy's, in a few seconds I finally was able to sleep
Cameron's POV
I was looking half dead as I stared at the door of the room Padgett is, I found it hard to control the amount of sadness I was feeling, it was still like a dream to me, I can't believe that aunty Pearl is gone and Padgett is hurting but I am not there to console her, she doesn't want to see me, I stand there staying at the door, I know she must be crying, I know she and aunty pearl are very close, it will be difficult for her to forget her, I was about going to her room when mom, walked towards her room, I watch mom go into her room
I waited for her to come out, after she go inside, in some few minutes, I found out that she is out.
Mom! How is she? Is she fine? Have she...
Cameron, you don't expect her to be fine, although, she is acting all fine but I know she needs all the support to live with the fact that her mommy is no longer here, so I want you to see her like a sister and treat her right, you always take care of her.
I know mom! I said heading to her room
You should go to bed, let her rest. I sighed as I turned around then go back to my room, as I sat down, I took my phone and texted her
HEY CREAMY, ARE YOU OKAY?
YOU CAN TELL ME IF YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE AND IF YOU NEED ANYTHING
PLEASE TALK TO ME
I kept on texting but she never replied any of my messages, I sighed in frustration as I dropped my phone on the bed, ruffling my hair behind
The next morning, Creamy didn't go to school, I know she can't go to school, I wanted to skip school but mom didn't allow me, so I asked that nanny Nancy prepare something special I want to give it to Padgett.
You should go to school, you don't want your dad to get mad at you, I will take it from here.
Do you...
She will, just go, you are getting late. I sighed as I grabbed my bag to leave for school. I sighed, it's just seem my life is bitter, since my best friend is avoiding me, it wouldn't had been this awkward if we were in talking tense before this happened, I walked out..
Padgett's POV.
l was in my room all through the morning, I really don't want to see Cameron, I saw all his calls and texts but it hurts to think that I am avoiding him because right now, he is the only one, I am comfortable with but the truth is, I should distance myself for him, I know when I get to eighteen, I will be able to leave this place and I will forget all about him and move on with my life
When I realized he had left, I came out of the room.
Good morning Nanny Nancy
Morning dear! You should have some milk and cereal first, Mrs Adrian had informed your principal that you will missed school for the week and not to worried master Cameron will fixed your project.
I didn't asked him...
Come on daughter, he wants to see you happy, he cares about you, I don't know what Is happening between you two but the truth is, Cameron is not just seeing you as an outside, you are his best friend...
I sighed in frustration, I don't want him to see me like his best friend, I want him to love me like those girls he dated, even if it's like his fling.
Alright ma, I will just take this in my room. I really don't want to hear those lecture about Cameron and his stupid best friend thing.
It's not up to two hours, since I returned to my room, I heard someone tap on my door, I thought it was nanny Nancy, so I pull the door, only for me to see Sutton.
Hey Sutton! I called and he smiled at me.
Hey cutie! He smiled
What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in school. I asked
Oh! I was bored, so I had to leave school and I thought of checking on you.
What?
Just kidding, the principal said it's a school free day since renovation is going on, so everyone had to go home.
Oh! So you came with Cameron.
Nope! He got something to do, and Alex is busy with his girlfriend, Emerald and Ray, I felt he is now in Julia's web. That moment when your friends pick their girlfriends over their friend. He said I was force to laugh
Whoa! Missed that, I really do missed that, you should go back to your old self pretty soon.
Silly! I will, I am sure, I will, with you all around me, thanks for coming, I really appreciate. I murmured then try to lock the door Sutton grabbed my hand and pulled me back
I told you, you can also talk to me if you are not feeling good, we are friends right? Sutton said
I know, it's just that for now, I just want to be alone and I really want to focus on my life.
I heard what Newton did to you... Sutton said and I looked at him but his eyes are only on my cute small and wet lips, at least I got that, and I am not with my glasses, just maybe, he found me appealing without those silly glasses, he couldn't take his eyes off from this lips of mine, he couldn't resist the crazy urge anymore and like a blink, he moved closer to me, I made a move back but Sutton grabbed my waist and pulled me closer, I let out a gasp
Sutton! I couldn't finish when Sutton's lips slammed against mine
