Losing Innocence

24. The Past Unravels

Cammy ; 

Flashback;

We Drove In Silence Until We Reached Her House ; We Got Out And Walked Towards Her Door.

I Knocked Twice And Waited While Chris Stood Behind Me; She Opened The Door And Immeadiatley Started Smiling ; I Stepped To The Side And Thats When She Saw Him.

' Chris ... ? ' She Said With Tears Falling From Her Eyes

' Hi Cams , Im Back ......... '

I Stood There With Tears Falling From My Eyes As iLooked Upon The Boy I Used To Love , The Boy I Called My Best Friend, The Boy I Shared My First Kiss With, iLooked Upon My Chris ....

'Why Are You Here?Why Are You Back? Why Did You Ever Leave Me? I Whispered Looking Into Those Deep Brown Eyes I Used To Love.

' Uh ..... '

Chris Started To Speak But Then Stopped , Mari Looked At Him And Nodded ; Chris Embraced Him And Said Something I Couldnt Hear In His Ear.

Omari Walked Past Me Looking Battered And Bruised While Limping, I Winced Because It Hurt Seeing My Best Boy Friend Like That And iKnow It Would Hurt Maurs Even More Seeing Him Like That. Mari Bent Down And Kissed My Cheek And Whispered iLove You ; iDone The Same.

'Cammy Im Sorry I Didnt Want To But I Had To ....' He Said A Tear Falling Down His Mocha Coloured Face

I Walked Up To Him , Looking Up As His Beautiful 6ft Frame Stood Infront Of Me, I Wiped Away His Tear As I Let One Slide From My Eye

' Why Though? You Just Went ' I Said Now Bawling

' There Were .. People After Me .. If Only I-I Had Gotten The Chance To Say Good Bye ' He Craddled His Hands Around My Face And Bent Down And Slowly Kissed Me ... iFelt It Again The Same Passion And Spark iHad Felt Before.

iPulled Apart And Leant Against The Wall Staring Up At The Night Sky.

'We Were 13. I WAS 13 And In Love With My Bestfriend, You Were My Bestfr-' I Began

'Cammy Dont Do This ...' He Whispered

' You Were My Bestfriend , I Told You Everything , About All The Boys And Girls And The Problems iHad ; I Told You All My Hopes And Dreams .... You S-Said To Me We Would Grow Up Together And Live Together And That NOTHING Would Change ... But It Did, Didnt It? You Left , I Changed ! And Then The Night You Left You Kissed Me And Told Me You Loved Me And Would Never EVER Leave Me ... So Then I Ask You This, Why Now? Why Come Back Now? ' I Said Letting My Tears Flow Down My Face

'People Wanted Me Dead Cammy, THEY WANTED ME DEAD&BURIED, Th-Th-They Wanted Me Because Of All The Stuff I Had Helped My Brother With ... iHad To Leave Or They Woulda Got To You Aswell ' He Said Crying 

He Sat On The Step By My Door And I Watched Him Intently.

'Cammy iLove You&Always Have iDidnt Come Back To Disrupt Your Life I Just Wanna Be Apart Of It ... If You'll Let Me ; I Spent 2Years Without You And I Dont Plan On Spending Anymore, I Missed Your 14th&15th Birthday I Missed 2 Valentines & 2 Christmases ... I CANT LEAVE CAMMY I CANT LEAVE ' He Half Shouted

I Went And Sat Next To Him On The Step As He Stared Deeply At His Hands As If They Contained The Answer To All This

'When We Kissed, iFelt It, The Passion We Used Share ... Chris iLove You Too But iDont Know, I Just Cant'

'We Dont Have To Be Togeher Cammryn Just Be My Bestfriend Again' He Chuckled

I Smiled A Lopsided Grin At The Memory Of Him Being The Only One To Call Me By My Full Name

' Il Be Your Bestfriend Again Christopher '

He Licked His Lips And Smiled Showing The Dimple That I Had Always Been Jealous Of

' Its Still There ' I Said Refering To His Dimple

' Well It Aint Gonna Fly Away Babessss ' He Laughed

' Oh Shut Up ' I Playfully Punched Him

'Ouch' He Pouted And Pretended To Be Upset, He Turned Away 

' Uh-Huh Im Sorry ' I Said With A Raised Eyebrow

' Carry On Midget ' He Whispered

This Time I Was The One Who Pretended To Be Sad And Upset .

' Boo Im Sorry ' He Said Turning Me Around To Face Him

iLooked At Him Then Dropped My Head Down , He Was Just To Beautiful , He Slowly Lifted My Chin And Kissed Me Gently, He Then Stopped And Whispered In My Ears ...

' My Midget ' 

I Whispered Back 

' My Giant '

He Pulled Apart From Me And Looked Into My Eyes, It Was Almost As If He Could See Deep Into My Soul .

' Who Is He ? ' He Asked Out Of The Blue

' Who Is Who ? ' I Replied 

' The Boy Who Took Your Heart While I Was Gone .... '

' Jeramiah ' 

We Stood In Silence Until He Knocked My Door And Told Mari To Come Out In 2Minutes

' Well All I Know Is Im Going To Get It Back, Goodnight Cammy iLove You'

He Kissed My Cheek And I Inhaled Him Slowly

' Goodbye Chris iLove You Too '

Mari Came Out And Kissed My Cheek, Then They Both Set Off In The Directoion Of Mari's House

I Watched Them Fade Into The Darkness And Whispered Once More ...

' My Giant '
