Unforgiven Past

Chapter Ten

Ben and Mum ran in the room. Ben was in front. As he got to the lounge room he flicked the light on, and sure enough. Sitting there in the corner was Cam, he was holding Harry on his lap, and he had a gun nuzzled against Harry’s ribs. Harry was petrified, he was crying and whimpering.

Mum screamed when she realised what happened. Ben put his arms up, to show Cameron he wasn’t going to try anything.

“It’s okay Cam, calm down bud. Come on, let Harry go please, your scaring him” Ben spoke calmly with his arms raised,

“You can shut your f*****g mouth Ben.” Cameron was so calm as he spoke, “I warned you Lara!” He said,

“Please Cameron, Let Harry go, his petrified. This is between us, not my boys. Please Cam, don’t hurt him” Mum was pleading with him.

“You left me, for this c**k head!” He yelled “They bashed me, and you left me like a wounded dog! You don’t care, so don’t pretend to now!” He yelled at her “I left you things, to show you I was still here. I was always watching you, always listening, I was a lot closer then you thought” He chuckled like a psychopathic lunatic,

“You were in our roof” I managed to say, Mum looking at me weirdly, “All the noises I heard-they were you” I stuttered,

“You bet Petey-boy, your not as dumb as I thought.” He mocked “I’ve been keeping a close eye on all of you. None of you cared I was gone. Your mum just used me and spat me out.” He tightened his grip around Harry,

“It’s okay Harry” Ben said, “I’ll come get you in a minute mate”

“No you f*****g wont!’” Cameron snarled, “Come near me and his dead. Simple.”

“Cameron, Let him go. You don’t want to hurt him, it’s me you want to hurt” Mum said sobbing uncontrollably

“As long as you hurt, I really don’t give a f**k!” He laughed,

“If you let Harry go, we can talk by ourselves. We can go for a drive, Ben will watch the kids.” Mum begged through her tears,

Harry was starting to get restless, he was wiggling around crying and calling out for Mum,

“If you want your kid Lara, Come get the sook” He snarled,

I didn’t want Mum going near him, but I want Harry to be away from him.

“I’ll come get him” I offered,

“No!” Mum gasped,

“No you wont boy. Didn’t you learn from all the floggings I gave you. Don’t speak unless your spoken too.” Cameron said in a smart mouth way,

“What?” Mum asked, “Did you hit Peter?” She questioned him,

“Yep, every chance I got. I would whoop his ass with whatever I could find. The little f**k hated me from the start.” There was no emotion, no remorse in Cameron’s voice. He didn’t have any feelings at all,

“You piece of s**t!” Mum screamed at him,

“Uh Really? I would watch your mouth b***h!” Cam said as his dug the gun into Harry’s side.

“Ow!” Harry cried out as he started uncontrollably crying, I started crying too. I couldn’t do anything to help him. I wanted to help him. But I couldn’t.
