Chapter 65

“Cameron has a severe concussion.” The doctor explains to us, “When we discharged him, I told him he needs to take it easy and make sure he is taking his medication. He should not have been at school.” 

The doctor is agitated, and it shows with his tone as he reprimands Cameron’s dad, who stands there listening intently. I feel a tinge of guilt since Cameron only came to school today because he wanted to make sure I was comfortable at school after all the bombshells that were dropped this past week and weekend.

“Can we see him?” I say, finding my voice.

“Family only,” the doctor says sternly.

“She is,” Cameron’s dad responds with zero hesitation.

When we arrive at his room, we walk in to see him sitting up and smiling. Relief and annoyance fill me as he shifts his stunning smile to me. 

“Hey,” He says.

The audacity of this man to scare me and then smile at me like everything is hunky-dory.
