Chapter 15.
Cameron's P.O.V.
"Please stop talking about that fall, that was your fault. If you hadn't rushed me, I wouldn't have this strong dislike towards you right now." I tell May after we stop at the park. She's been constantly reminding me of my fall and won't stop bugging me about it.
"So you're saying you were intimidated by me?" She asks in disbelief.
"Fuck no, ofcourse not!" I reply with the most sincere voice I've ever had to put through my dashing vocals.
She laughs through the whole ride to Cleo's house. I get out of car and head to the door. I swear May can be much more annoying than that, but I told her to keep her cool attitude in place. Knocking on the door I turn around to see that May is still laughing. She wipes her eye and holds her stomach. When I turn back around, I see Cleo's brother, Mason, I believe.
"Oh, hey. Erm, is Cleo home?" I look around but don't see her car, she probably isn't but he should know where she is.
"No, she's not in her room but her friend is still sleeping on her bed. I thought maybe, she was with you." He says, looking behind me and staring at my car, looking if Cleo is there.
"No, she's not with me. Did she; perhaps go to work? Maybe she changed her mind and went to work?" I don't think she was going to work today, but she must've felt better and went to work.
"Yeah probably." He looks worried and scared. Maybe because he is scared that something must've happened to Cleo. I doubt it, she's a strong woman.
"Okay, I'll go check at Sunrise Roast. Thanks." I begin to walk away but he stops me.
"Wait, I want to go with you. Just to check if she's okay. He grabs his jacket from the peg and puts on slippers before he closes the door behind him and walks pass me.
I walk with him and get into the car. I start the engine and drive to Sunrise Roast. The tension is rising and I take a few glances at May and Mason through the rearview mirror. May sighs and looks at Mason. She starts staring at him but he does take note because his focused on his phone. She turns to face me and raises a brow.
"Who is he?" She whispers but he heard her and looks at her from under his lashes. Now Cleo definitely won't like me.
"I'm Mason, Cleo's brother. I assume you're her other friend?" He asks still focusing on his phone.
She scoffs before, turning her attention to Mason. "I'm Cameron's friend. I never met this Cleo girl before."
Oh my god. This couldn't have gotten any worse. I hope she doesn't mention that I proposed to her because that is when the shit will start. Here is the thing about May, she doesn't know how to...... Let me say it much more nicer. She does not know how to shut the fuck up. She's always a fucking blabberer. If that's a word.
If anything goes wrong right now, then there goes my chances with Cleo. That day of our chest-to-chest moment, I knew that he didn't want me being more than a friend to Cleo. Saying that I wasn't intimidated, would be a lie. I was fucking scared. His eyes were emotionless and cold. I can tell he is one of those protective brothers and I respect that, so I'm trying to show him that I can be trusted with her. Please May; don't mess this up for me.
"Okay. Nice to meet you May." He looks up to her and his gaze rests on me. I drive faster feeling a little uneasy.
When we arrive, I see Cleo's car. I smile and I sigh in relief knowing that she's okay. When I see the cops, I know I spoke too soon. I frown and get out of the car, followed by Mason then May. I walk pass the signs and get stopped by a cop and I ball my fists.
"It's okay. Let them in." Harry says, walking towards us. The cop nods and walks away from us. I swear I was about to punch his nose broken. "I'm glad you're here. Is Cleo with you guys?" He looks among us, but his frown deepens when he doesn't spot her.
"No, why would she be with us if her car is here?" I ask, trying to keep my cool.
"Shit then the robbers must've taken her!" He grows angry and walks away almost falling over. He curses and punch the window before entering the shop again.
Robbbers? Someone took Cleo? If something bad happened to her, I'm going to fucking lose it. First she goes through something that is probably tragic, than she gets kidnapped? I know it's weird that I just met her few days ago, but it's not weird that I care so much about her. It's not weird because people should care for each other, whether you know that person or not. It's not about knowing that persons darkest secrets or privileged information. It's not intended and people shouldn't interfere whether they love or like that person or not.
I walk into the shop and see the cops going through something on the laptop. Harry is standing next to them giving them information about something of a camera or whatever.
"What are they doing?" I ask Harry once I'm standing in talking distance.
"We have cameras, so maybe, hopefully actually, we can see what happened to her and maybe see who done all this."
Once the cops are able to add information about what was intended they showed us a video. They showed us a video of two overbuilt guys, somehow getting into the cafe followed by a slightly smaller man then the other two. They lock the door again and I curse under my breath for them not knowing to get an alarm. They start taking money from the tip jar since Harry doesn't keep any money in the till. A very small figure enters the shop. Cleo. She's talking to him like she knows that person.
"Can't you turn the volume up or something?" I ask trying to get what they are saying. I can't read lips for gods sake.
"We can but it will take pretty long." The first cop with dark brown hair, strong jawline and a sharp nose says to me.
"Okay, wait let's first watch this shit done."
It looks like Cleo starts shouting and the guy on the left hits her head with a gun. It looks like a pistol but I'm not hundred percent sure. Mason walks away, his face red with anger. She falls down and she starts crying. I walk away not wanting to watch anymore. Fuck! I shouldn't have left to that stupid fucking party. This is all my fault. If I'd just stay with her and slept over, it would've been better for the both of us.
"Wait, wait. I know that guy!" May shouts still staring at the video.
"You do? Who is he?" Harry asks her.
"My...my ex boyfriend! Oh my fucking shit! That's my ex boyfriend!" She says pleased that she atleast has some classified information.
"Great! Do you know where he lives?" She frowns.
"No, shit I don't. He had an apartment but I went to visit him two months ago and he doesn't live there anymore." She says biting down on her nail.
"Do you still have his number?" The same cop asks her and she nods hesitantly. "We can track the number and find him."
I'm so happy that May know's him. I don't know what I would've done if they couldn't find her or anyone. The relief I feel right now is inundated. My muscles are no longer tensed and my worry has faded. Not all but some. Once I..we find her, I'll be fine. Right now I'm okay about the news May delivered but I'll be satisfied once she's in my arms.
(Relieved that they found out what happened to Cleo? Yeah me too. I just hope nothing else happens. Please forgive me for any mistakes or if my grammar isn't correct. I'll proof read it soon and fix anything that's wrong. Thank you for 300+ reads, it's means alot to me! Ily guys, please vote and comment! <3 )
