The Fat Program

Chapter 16

Recap:

His eyes were drooping again so I said scared, "Stay with me Cameron. Don't leave me." I was sobbing on him, but I guess I was doing my best to stay sane as I saw him slipping away from me.

"Always." He whispered. Then his hand fell and his eyes closed and I swear he stopped breathing.

***

I dropped his hand. "Cameron?" I called out to him. I think my heart stopped when he didn't answer right away. But what made it stop completely was what happened next.

His eyes flew open and he was smiling and he called out, "Just kidding!" He was laughing and holding his stomach. I looked down at the wound taking in the sight in front of me.

He was wearing the fat suit, and it wasn't blood flowing out of him, it was a smashed ketchup packet.

"What the hell!" I screamed at him, smacking him in the head and dropping him to the floor off my lap in the process.

"Ouch!" he whimpered still laughing. "Don't hurt me, I just got shot."

"That was not funny and you know it!" I was fuming. Not only did he just play a sick and mean joke on me, but he didn't even care that I thought he died. I really wanted to punch him in the face so badly.

He was laughing on, chuckling about 'the look on my face'? I kept smacking his hand away every time he tried to grab on to me and pull me towards him. I so did not want comfort from him anymore.

"Eh hm." Someone cleared their throat behind us.

I looked behind me and noticed Mr. Nelson had a smile on his face and he was looking at us with this crazy look.

Oh crap I forgot about him. What's he going to do to us now? I hoped he wasn't going to shoot Cameron again.

"Now that we're all happy I didn't kill my son, back to me?" he said in a questioning yet commanding tone.

What the heck did he want? Is he still going on about my father's money? I already told him I would give it to him. What else does he want now? I decided to voice my question and asked, "what else do you want? You're already getting the money, so why can't you leave me alone now?"

"I have my own questions to ask, so listen to me first, then I might answer yours." he said in a mimicking tone as his smile fell off his face. I didn't speak, but nodded,belling him to go on.

"Firstly, Cameron, how the hell did you know where to find us?" he turned towards Cameron with an exasperated look.

I turned to see Cameron shrug and say, "It wasn't hard. I was coming back to my apartment when I saw Janey getting dragged off by a bunch of creeps. I decided it would be stupid to not go after her, so I ran down the stairs and jumped into my jeep and just followed the direction you all went. When you came in view I stayed back a little ways so you couldn't see me. A couple times I thought you'd all notice me since you're always watching her and all, but I guess I got lucky."

Cameron made it seem so simple, but of you thought about it, you'd understand that it's hard I follow a minivan in a huge city, where there may be at least three or four just like it. I stared at him amazed, but turned back to Mr. Nelson when he asked me the next question.

"So I'm going to assume you two are dating. Am I correct?" he asked looking at me with a wondrous expression.

I stared at him for a minute, not sure whether I wanted to answer that or not, but Cameron tool the liberty of doing it himself and said, "Yes, and we're very much in love." he grabbed my waist when he said that and pulled me onto his lap. His fake tummy kind of pushed me off of him a little, but other than that it was kind of comfortable,yet also embarrassing at the same time.

"So since you two are dating, that means you're considering getting married, meaning you get all her money Cameron! Yes! My boy is a genius!" by the end of his statements, Mr. Nelson was doing a little happy dance and shaking his hands in the air, trying to fist pump.

I looked at Cameron, did he really only like me for my money? He was looking back at me, but with a frown on his face and shaking his head.

"That's not why I fell in love with you." he said seriously, ad I almost melted on the spot when he said he loved me. My eyes got teary and I hugged Cameron tightly to me, snuggling into his neck.

Behind me I heard the shuffling of Mr. Nelson's happy dance stop as he heard Cameron an I talking about the whole love for money issue.

"You are going to marry her Cameron, even if it's a forced marriage, you will get rights to her family's money and you will Had it over to your mother and I. And you will NOT speak a word of this to her." Cameron's dad commanded of him.

"Dad, we're leaving. I don't really give a crap about why you 'think' I love Janey, I really don't care what you want me to do for you, and I really don't care what you have planned. I'm going to live my life with Janey, and it's going to be a happy one without you butting in and kidnapping her." Cameron said in a defiant tone.

Wow, Cameron really got deep there, but I wasn't so sure I was ready for marriage, this whole talk about it had my head spinning, or it's just the after effects of having a bag over your head for two hours.

"We're leaving, and unless you want to shoot me again for the kill shot, just back the fuck up." He said, getting up with one arm around my shoulders to support my back, the other under my knees. I must have lost some weight if he is able to carry me out the door in his princess hold.

I snuggled closer to Cameron as he marched out the door. His father didn't say anything, but he had this weird grin on his face as he waved good-bye to us. Cameron set me in the passenger seat of his jeep, strapped me in, then got in on his side, turned to me and said, "Listen, Janey. I'm so sorry this had to happen to you. I so did not see my dad being the nut job stalking you. I want to protect you all I can, but I can't do that well if the one hurting you most will be someone I'm related to. Again, I'm really sorry Janey." He finished looking at his hands as they tightened on the steering wheel showing the whites of his knuckles.

"It's alright Cameron. I wouldn't want to change this for the world. It helped us get closer together, it made me fall in love with you too." I felt my face heat up, but I didn't care, I kept going on,"You've protected me as best as you could, and I appreciate that more than you'll ever know. And I know that you'll still protect me if danger comes, so you don't have to worry." I patted his arm, then reached for his hand, only for him to grip my before I got close, then use the other to bring my head towards him.

He kissed me on the forehead, the kissed me on both eyes lids. He was breathing heavily, and I could smell the minty scent on his breath.

God I love him, more than I've ever loved anyone.

I tilted my head up, and slowly brought my lips to his. It was wonderful, the feel of his rough lips on mine, and the sensation of it all. I'll tell you this, I have more butterflies in my stomach than I've ever had right before getting on a roller coaster.

I smiled in the kiss and he pulled away to ask, "What are you smiling about?"

"Oh nothing." I said with a big grin on my face. "I've got nothing to worry about now." And I kissed him again.

But boy was I wrong about nothing to worry about.
