Don't Look Back (Cameron Boyce) *sequel to crazy*

Chapter 4

*Zoe's POV*

~Dream~

"I had to do it, he was going to hurt you" he tells me and his American accent is very strong.

"I know" I breathe trying to register what just happened.

"Is he alive?' I ask.

"Yeah, he's still breathing. He's just unconscious" He tells me.

"Thank you" I say to him. "Why are you even in Australia?" I ask him.

"That doesn't matter. You need to get away from him. I know you love him but he was going to hurt you and has already hurt you before, there is no telling if he will do it again" he says and I know he is right.

"what if he finds me?" I ask.

"LOOK AT YOU! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!" he yells tugging at the ends of his black hair. "He is less likely to find you if you leave. You can't stay with him anymore" he tells me. I look down at my ripped clothes and the blood on wrists, even though I can't see my face, I know its badly bruised. 

"I know. Please help me" I beg looking into his brown eyes.

"of course I will. You are my friend, I'd do anything for you. I think you will be safer if you come back to LA." He tells me.

"I can't come back yet. I know that I'm safer there but I can't just yet" I say sounding desperate. "There has to be another way" 

"Grab your things...." he says looking at the man who I thought I trusted laying unconscious on the cold hard ground. "NOW!...he's waking up"

We run and grab as much as we can and jump out of the window of my bedroom.

~End of dream~

Why are my dreams always flashbacks of those horrible times? What did I do to deserve what happened then in the first place. 

I lay in bed next to my boyfriend who is sleeping soundly next to me with his strong arms wrapped around my waist with my head laying on his shoulder and our legs tangled with one another's. 

I haven't told him any of what happened. I don't have any scars and I'd rather not talk about it anyway. I'm safe now and I know that, that sick prick I used to love and care about can't hurt me anymore.

I look at the clock on the bed side table. 8am, not so bad I guess. "Cameron" I say softly to try and wake him up. but he doesn't even stir.

"Cam, wake up" I say a little bit louder than before but still nothing. 'Why is he such a heavy sleeper?'  I ask myself. I try again a few times but he's completely in deep sleep.

"Cameron... wake up babe" I whine kissing his down his cheek and along his jawline and finally he starts to wake up.

"Can I wake up to you moaning my name and kissing me every morning?" Cameron asks in his incredibly sexy morning voice, that I seriously can't get enough of.

"I was not moaning your name" I defend myself. 

"Not yet, anyway babe" Cameron smirks obviously amused at his comment.

"Isn't a little early for your sexual humour?" I ask raising my eyebrows at his previous comment. 

"No, not at all" Cameron remarks. 

"C'mon. Let's get up. I feel like doing something today" I tell him dismissing him while tracing invisible patterns along Cameron's shoulders and chest because he is shirtless. He shivers under my touch and I try not to laugh at the effect I have on him.

"Do you want to look at apartments today?" Cameron asks. I know Cameron loves me but I have no idea why he is so eager to move in together when we only made the decision yesterday. 

"Can we see Karan or X-MOB today or something?" I ask and I can see Cameron is a little offended or something along those lines. "It's not that I don't want to look at apartments with you, I'd rather do something a bit more fun. Not that looking at apartments with my amazing boyfriend wouldn't be fun its just-" I say but Cameron interrupts by kissing me on the lips.

he pulls away. "Its ok, I understand. I've basically been keeping you to myself the whole two and a bit months you've been back. Of course we can hang out with Karan today, I'm not sure about X-MOB though. I'll call Karan and Peyton, yeah?" Cameron suggests.

"Yep, sounds good to me" I smile at him. "Can we get up now?" I ask.

"Oh, yeah. Do you wanna shower before breakfast?" Cameron asks.

"Nah, I'll shower after breakfast because knowing me I'll spill food on myself" I tell Cameron as he loosens his grip on my waist.

 "Yeah... you do that a lot, don't you" Cameron teases.

"Just shut up or you won't have a tongue to eat breakfast" I threaten playfully because I don't mean it.

"Hahaha, yeah sure" Cameron rolls his eyes and I poke my tongue out at him.

------------------------

"Oh my god! Its so good to see you" Peyton says pulling me into a hug. Cameron and I just arrived at Peyton's house for a movie night and Karan is already there. 

"Its great to see you as well" I tell her as she squeezes me tight.

"Its been so long" Peyton says as she releases her killer grip on me. "Someone has been keeping you to himself" Peyton says glaring at Cameron making me and Karan laugh. 

"Sorry" Cameron says raising both his hands up defensively.

"Wow Zo, you look great" Karan compliments me as I hug him tightly. 

"I could say the same about you. I can't believe you are actually taller than me" I say to Karan and we both laugh as we release each other from the hug. Karan and I smile at each other. Karan is my best friend in America, no doubt about it. 

"What movie first?" Peyton asks holding up a bunch of movies. Delivery Man, Insidious, Final Destination 5, Grown Ups 3.

"No way in hell am I watching a movie I'm in" I say pointing to Grown Ups 3 and everyone laughs.

"I don't want to watch me" Cameron says wrapping his arm around my shoulders. 

"Then which one?" Peyton asks.

"Delivery Man" I say because I'd rather not be embarrassed about hiding most of the time during a horror movie. 

"Final Destination 5" Karan and Cameron say at the same time and I send them both death glares.

"Peyton? What do you want to watch?" I ask trying not to sound desperate hoping she picks Delivery Man. 

"I'm in the mood for a horror movie, so.. Final Destination 5 it is" Peyton says. 

"I hate you all" I say in a serious tone and they laugh at my expense. 

"Keep laughing and this will be your final destination" I threaten.

"Sorry Zoe, but we had to." Cameron says and I roll my eyes. 

Cameron and I take most of the large couch. Peyton sits on the arm chair and Karan sits on a white leather beanbag. We all turn our attention to the movie and Cameron wraps his arm around me and cuddles my close into his side and I wriggle in closer.
