My boy | Cameron Dallas sequel

25.

Ali's P.O.V

"Baby, we need to figure out who's gonna be in the wedding" I sighed as I lay beside Cameron in bed

"Ali I just don't want to..." Cameron began but got cut off by the sound of my phone ringing

"It's in the kitchen" Cameron sighed as he removed his grip on me which allowed me to get up

"Hey mom what's up" I asked my mom who was breathing heavily on the other end of the phone

"Sweetie....sweetie it's your dad" she breathed

"Is he home already I thought he had another two weeks" I smiled excitedly

"Ali" she cried. "There was an accident....the camp....and a grenade. Ali your father didn't make it. He's dead, oh my god he's dead" my mom was crying through the phone

I couldn't breathe. I couldn't grasp what she was saying. He can't be dead. He's coming home for good in two weeks and he's gonna be at my wedding. This can't be happening

"Al what's taking so long" Cameron asked as he walked out from the bedroom

"Baby what happened" he asked. He took the phone from my hand and talked to my mom as I sat crying on the floor

As soon as Cameron ended the short phone call with my mom he joined me on the floor and hugged me. I sat crying in his arms, unsure of what to do.

"He was supposed to come home" I cried as I gripped cam's shirt

"He was supposed to walk me down the aisle" I cried harder squeezing my eyes shut

"He can't be dead" I mumbled into Cameron's shirt as I soaked it with my tears

"I'm so sorry baby. I'm so sorry" Cameron soothed as he began to rock me back and forth

"Oh my god Kian" I breathed as I lifted my head to look at Cameron

"Your mom told him and he's with lea and the jacks" Cameron answered as he gently placed my head back on his chest and kissed the top of my head

~next morning

Cameron, Kian and I had just arrived back home. It was early, like 7:00am. I wanted to get here as soon as I could to hug my mom.

We walked up to the front door and Kian unlocked it and one by one we walked in. Emily was sitting in the living room and as soon as she seen us, she ran over and jumped into Kian's arms and began crying

Tears began to slowly fall down my cheeks as I watched my baby sister cry in pain over losing her father that she barley got to know. Cameron wrapped his arms around me and kissed my forehead in comfort letting me know that he was here.

My mom walked slowly out of the kitchen and stood watching as the four of us hugged in order to comfort one another.

"Mom" I cried as I began to walk over to her. I reached my arms out for her and pulled her against me. Her hands ran through my hair as my were wrapped around her skinny waist

"Renee I'm so sorry" Cameron sighed as he made his way over to hug my mom. They stood hugging for a few minutes until they pulled apart and my mom walked over to Kian who was still holding a crying Emily.

After everyone hugged and cried for a while, Cameron took Emily upstairs so Kian and I could talk to our mom

"He will be home tomorrow afternoon. We'll have the wake on the Friday and the funeral will be Saturday morning" my mom explained as she turned away from Kian and I

"Mom what happened" Kian asked

"There was a grenade thrown into their camp and everyone ran away but not fast enough"

"A few other men where injured but your father was the only one who died" she said holding back her tears

"It's not fair. He was was supposed to come home in two weeks and we were going to get to see him and call him whenever we wanted" I breathed as I was wrapped in Cameron's arms

All our friends arrived later today and we were all sat outside on the seats talking.

"Emily barley got to know him but what she know, she loved" I cried wiping my eyes

A couple of hours passed and I was now lying in bed awake as Cameron slept peacefully beside me. All of a sudden Kian walked into the bedroom and asked me to talk. I nodded my head and followed him into the kitchen

"You don't think.... Um I see sometimes....there was a soldier and he  um, he threw one of his own grenades and...and...and, he jumped on it. You don't think dad.." Kian stuttered as his hands and body shook

"Kian are you asking if it think dad jumped on the grande to kill himself" I asked confused to which he just nodded his head

"Why would he do that. He was coming home soon. He wouldn't have done it" I shook my head

"Ali, the last time dad came home he was only here for a day, one day. He didn't seem himself that time and it was almost a year ago. Maybe he got worse and he couldn't hold out. Maybe he didn't want to come home to us when he was in that state" he breathed

"This is all in your head Kian. Dad was fine, he knew he was coming home soon and he was happy. And it's shitty, of course it is but dad died because of some asshole that he didn't know" I breathed trying to calm him down

"Before dad left last time. The last thing he said to me was "kk if I don't make it home please know that I'm looking down on you guys" he never said that ever before. Not one of the times he left. Why did he say it then" he asked

"I don't know Kian maybe because you were older and he knew you would understand" I sighed

"Then why didn't he say it to you or mom. He was warning me and I ignored it" he cried

"Kian no. That's not what happened okay. This was a unfortunate, horrible accident" I cried. I knew he was trying to blame himself

"Dad wanted me to save him and I didn't. I'm sorry Ali, I'm sorry I did this to you" he cried

Kian fell to the floor and began sobbing. I ran over to him and hugged him as I cried with him. Cameron walked down the stairs and seen what was going on. I told him to go back to bed and I continued comforting Kian.
