The Fat Program

Chapter 12

Recap:

From behind me I heard Cameron ask, "Mom?"

"What the HECK?!" I screeched. I almost fainted, but strong arms held me in place. 

This is WAY too confusing. I felt the air swirl around me and the edges of my vision go blurry. I fell into darkness, but not without hearing Cameron's 'Mom' say, "Cameron, Who the hell is this fat chick?"

_____________________________________________________________________________

I woke up to some old lady fanning me. I was lying on Cameron's couch, so I guess someone moved me. I looked around dazed for a moment, then heard the woman say, "I'm so sorry Janet. If I knew it was you I wouldn't have been so rude earlier. Are you alright now?" She asked, then yelled for Cameron to grab me a glass of water. 

"So," I started, "what happened?"

"Well honey," She said, "you fainted after my son and I showed up to Cameron's apartment. Are you feeling all right? Maybe you need to lie down a little longer? Cameron! Where's that water?"

"I'm good, I'm good." I said, trying to sit up without slumping back down. When Cameron showed up with the water I batted it away, not needing it right this minute. looking back at Mrs. Nelson, I said, "I just wasn't expecting to see you. You look....different?" I finished off lamely. 

"Oh sweety, it's nice to see you tool, and yes, I've become, well, we've become poor. Cameron's father put an investment into a horrible business, claiming their product would be a hit, in the end," she sighed, "it was a disaster because he put all his money on the line and they ended up taking it for their own greedy needs. Two million dollars!!" I could tell Mrs. Nelson was frustrated, and I wanted to give her some time, but I couldn't stand up and walk away because she had put a blanket on me and was sitting on the end that I needed to lift up to get out.

"Umm, Mrs. Nelson?" I asked politely.

"Yes dear?" she replied.

"May I get up? I can help you guys unload all your things in the extra room." I said before I realized that I was living in the extra room. All the apartments had two rooms and a living room and kitchen. Being the kind person I am, I debated if I should just give them one of my free rooms in the building. hopefully whoever was stalking me doesn't realize I have another friend, well friends, living here with me. "Um wait, scratch that. I have a spare room you guys can have. You know, since I kind of... Yeah own the place.." I looked down at the last part. even though I'm generous, I still hate when people know about my wealth. And learning her story about going bankrupt wasnt't exactly my favorite thing to say. Yeah...

"Really?" her eyes lit up like Christmas day. "Would you really do that sweety?" She asked then said, "It'd be a great help and would make my sons and my lives easier."

She was smiling teary like and I so didn't want to see the women cry so I quickly said, " Yes, and Cameron would love to help you with your bags. And I'm sure Alex does too." I nodded towards cameron's younger brother Alex who happened to be messing up my favorite ipod case. The one with Hello Kitty on it. I tried giving him the death glare but he wouldn't turn my way. So instead I gave up with a sigh and turned my head towards the door.

"So when do we move?" ask Mrs. Nelson. 

I. Have. No. Idea. "Umm... after diner?" I questioned.

"Brilliant!" Mrs. Nelson shrieked. Even though she is dirt poor now, she was still the same, dignified women who acted with grace and dignity. I smiled at the warm memories that raced through my mind of all the good times I had with Mrs. Nelson.

After about twenty more minutes of Mrs. Nelson fussing over me asking if I was okay, I headed up to the spare room I was going to give to her and her son as they tagged along behind me.

I opened the door and Mrs. Nelson screeched, "Oh it's lovely Janet, just lovely!"  We toured around the apartment then helped her settle in. by the end of the day we had everything set up the way she wanted it and I was beat tired.

I slowly made my way back to Cameron's place, shuffling my feet as I walked. Before I even got halfway back to the room I felt a pair of arms wrap around me, leaning me against their strong chest.

I sighed. Tired and sluggishly slipping from his arms and opening the apartment door.

 After he closed the door behind him, Cameron again, came up from behind me and wrapped me in his arms. We stood like that for a moment, with his head resting on top of my shoulder. Then he said, "What you did today, for my mom, that was really good. You don't know how much I appreciate what you've done for her and my brother. Thank you so much."

I snuggled closer into Cameron's hold on me and said, "You're welcome. I'm just happy I helped her out when she needed it. She's always been like a real mother to me." I smiled and looked up at Cameron.

That's when I noticed how close we were. I gasped and took a step back. Cameron looked at me for a moment with his mouth open in shock. Then he snapped it closed with a snap and stalked off to his room, slamming the door along the way.

Wooow. That was...? Awkward? What happened? Why's he mad? What did I do?
