Into Your Arms

Cameron’s POV:
“Look who’s talking, you’re a huge liar. You definitely lied to me earlier today before Michael and I went surfing and I asked you if everything was okay. I really don’t want to do this right now so can we go to the freaking table?”
I couldn’t believe I had just said that. Pain flooded across Spencer’s face as her lip quivered and her eyes began to water. I saw her look around and I did as well. I realized that everybody was staring at us. Just as I went to say something, Spencer sprinted out of the building.
“Spencer, wait!” I cried.
She ignored me and kept running. The guys and Kendall ran over to me.
“Cam…why did you just call your girlfriend a liar?” Kendall slowly asked.
“I…I don’t know. Gosh I’m such a freaking idiot! She’s not a liar, I don’t even know why I said that! Was I as mean as I think I was?” I moaned.
They gave each other nervous glances before nodding. I scowled.
“I think it might’ve even been a bit worse than you think.” Zach said.
I sighed and shook my head, I was so stupid. I shouldn’t have gotten so mad over that. It was just that when she called me smart…I realized that if I was smart I’d be going to college next year and I wasn’t. So I freaked out a bit and tried to change the subject. Then she got mad at me for lying to her but I didn’t want to tell her yet! I just wasn’t ready to admit to her that college wasn’t on my to-do list right now. Spencer expected me to go college. I was going to disappoint her so much when I told her I wasn’t going to college so that the band could go far. I just wanted her to be happy and proud of me, but she won’t be if I’m not going to college!
Suddenly, I remembered what happened last time. The last time I upset Spencer. The last time she tried to kill herself.
I became fear-stricken and full of worry.
“Here take this.” I urgently said shoving the tray of food at Nathan.
“Cameron where are you going?” Michael asked as I darted towards the door.
“I have to find Spencer before she does anything dangerous!” I cried at them as I sprinted out the door.
After I ran out the door, I realized I had no clue where she would be. I ran to the parking lot, looking for her car, and sure enough I found it. That meant she didn’t leave the beach to go home or something. So she had to be close.
I ran back to the beach and scanned the crowd of people.
“Spencer? Spencer?” I screamed, getting lots of strange stares from people.
“Umm excuse me are you looking for somebody?” A lady asked, stepping in front of me.
“Yeah I’m looking for a seventeen year old girl, thin, close to my height, brown wavy hair, brown eyes, green and white striped swimsuit?” I panted.
“I think I saw someone like that run by here a few minutes ago, she was running towards the east side of the beach. She looked like she was crying or something-
“Okay, thank you!” I interrupted running around her.
I sprinted down the east side of the beach that for some reason was deserted.
“Please be living Spence. Please be alive.” I whispered to myself.
All sorts of ways that she might try to kill herself came to my mind. What if she tried to drown herself? Or what if she tried to jump off a cliff?
“Get away from me!”
I could recognize that voice in an instant, even if it was shrieking in horror.
“SPENCER!” I screamed.
I ran towards the sound of her voice and felt tears run down my face as I heard her scream.
“SPENCER!” I screamed again as I saw a couple of figures in the distance.
As I approached her I saw her on the floor with a guy on top of her. While I ran I noticed the top of a swimsuit thrown on the sand and a bottom not too far ahead. The swimsuit looked really familiar.
“Oh my gosh.” I muttered as I began to run faster, realizing it was Spencer’s.
“Stop! Stop!” I heard Spencer cry.
“GET AWAY FROM HER ASSHOLE!” I shrieked.
I ripped the guy off of her to see Spencer on the ground, naked and crying.
I looked at the guy to realize that it was the one and only, Tyler.
“You freaking asshole what the hell were you doing?” I screamed at him as Spencer scurried to put her swimsuit back on.
“Getting what I need, you’re obviously not smart enough to realize that she can give you what any guy in the world wants, sex.” Tyler smirked.
Gosh he made me want to kill him.
“You freaking dick. Go to hell! That is no way to ever treat a girl. Especially, Spencer Kimberly Hastings.” I shrieked.
I saw Spencer look at me in shock from the corner of my eye. I turned around and look at her.
“She’s the most amazing girl in the world. She has every single characteristic you could ask for. Smart, funny, gorgeous, caring, genuine, honest, forgiving, anything positive you could name she has! She’s flawless and I honestly don’t know what I would do if I lost her. I’d probably kill myself.” I continued, a tear rolling down my cheek.
I saw Spencer stare at me in shock. Then fear suddenly came across her face and she opened her mouth to yell but it was too late. Tyler jumped on top of me and began punching me.
“Cameron!” Spencer cried.
I felt blood in my mouth and grimaced…I had a feeling my parents weren’t going to be thrilled about my dental bill for the month. My head pounded and my vision was a bit blurry from the punch near my temples. Then I saw Tyler turn to her.
“See babe, he can’t even protect you. I’ll be able to.” He grinned.
I slowly sat up and stared at the back of his head. That even bugged the shit out of me. I saw Spencer grin but I put a finger over my lips to tell her to pretend I wasn’t up.
“You picked on the wrong guy Tyler, hope your family is up for a hospital visit to fix you up because you’re gonna be really screwed up after this.”
I tackled him and punched him, taking every bit of anger I had for the jackass that’s been after Spencer for a year and used it to beat him up. Suddenly, he jumped up.
“Okay okay I’m sorry! I’ll never go near her again. Freaks!” he cried before running away.
Once he was out of sight, I ran towards Spencer.
“Spence, baby? Are you okay?” I asked kissing her forehead, pulling her into my arms.
“Yeah…” she faintly whispered.
I could tell she was fighting to keep her eyes open.
“I’m going to get you to the hospital, okay? Everything’s going to be okay I promise.” I insisted, tears falling down my face as I held her almost limp body in my arms.
“Cameron no I don’t need to go to the hospital, I’m fine…” She mumbled.
“Spencer he raped you!” I cried.
“I-I know…” she sighed in defeat.
“Spencer?” I said.
She didn’t seem to hear me, her eyes looked dazed.
“Spencer?” I whispered, this time in her ear.
She lightly nodded.
“I love you.” I blurted.
I sat there in shock. …Did I just say that? What if she felt it was too soon? What if she didn’t love me yet?
Then I realized that that didn’t matter. She needed to know. I did love her, I really did, with all my heart. I wasn’t just saying it, I meant it. I wanted to be with her forever and ever.
“I love you too…” she whispered before her eyes closed.
“Cameron? Spencer?”
I turned to see Zach, Kendall, Nathan, and Michael running towards us.
“W-what happened?” Kendall asked her eyes suddenly watering.
“Call 911 now.” I ordered.
I saw Zach pull out his phone and dial the numbers.
“Cameron, what happened?” Nathan asked impatiently.
Zach, Nathan, Michael, and Kendall stared at me for an explanation.
“Spencer w-was raped.”
