*Cameron POV*

I could feel Megan's slowly falling asleep. I don't blame her she's had a hard couple of months. What Megan doesn't know is that I have been in Scotland to see her struggles for myself. I haven't been stalking her, I was sent to Scotland by mummy mendes to watch over her and make sure she was ok. Coming to think about it mummy mendes is a smart woman. If we go back to the beginning. July 3rd I got a job at a local bar. Each night she would get served the same drinks. She would ask for a Smirnoff ice to start off easy then work her way up to straight vodka shots. At first her parents didn't know that she was at the bar. She would tell her mum that she was at Erin's house. Each night she would get more and more drunk and guys used to take advantage of her and take her out round the back. Thinking back now I should have done something but It was against my contract to go round the back unless it was to empty out the ice bucket. She occasionally used to come back with scrapes on her face or hand prints marked on her check. This killed me I tried to talk to her each night but she was too drunk to answer me. As the months went on the more she tried new things. She would come over to the bar as high as a kite and max out her mums bank card that she stole. August 19th her mum chucked her out the house and she was left homeless without any money, no Job and no where to stay. She got so desperate that she started up a prostitution business to keep up with her alcohol addiction. I couldn't sit back and watch her do this to herself so I said if she would stop the business Id put all my money that I earned from the job at the bar (and some of my own money) into getting her a house. She accepted but she was too drunk to remember. Month after month she would come in and it was the same old same old. She would get drunk, sometimes get high, get beaten up and get forced into sex. October 3rd the day that everything changed. She came in with a different attitude on life. She got drunk but never got as drunk as she normally would I though that that night I would serve her. A guy around the age of 26 came up to her.

"Hey baby let's get out of here" he stated "I'll show you a good time" those words sickened me. To my suprise Megan slapped him as he tried to drag her away. The man punched her back and this time I couldn't stand back and do nothing as this guy had the strength to kill her, this time I didn't care if I lost my job. I jumped over the bar and grabbed Megan and pulled her round the back and sat her down.

"Are you ok? What's your name I'll call you a cab" I knew her name and I knew where she lived because I bought her the house. I just wanted to make sure that she still remembered who she was and where she lived.

"Does it hurt?" I asked and Megan burst into tears for no reason then it hit me. Megan has been drinking because she is depressed and she is depressed because shawn has made no effort to call her or come and see her like he promised. I looked down to see that she had marks on her arm from where she had self harmed. I tried to change the subject as much as I could.

"Here I'll get you a bottle of water so you can sober up" I tell her.

I watched her answer her phone and I knew exactly who it was it was Aaliyah. I stood about for a bit until I could hear mummy mendes yelling though the phone at her.

"Is everything ok" I ask her?

"Yes I've just realised how stupid I have been recently I need to go home" she replied I offered to drop her off and she accepted. Once she left the car I was so happy that she had picked up the phone and accepted the offer to go to Canada. She can start a whole new life out there. Now she just needs to talk to shawn and everything will be okay. I hope!
