Sorry for taking so long but i hope you like it. This chapter you get to see what happened with Cameron when he was back in Texas so i hope you enjoy the storyline and rate and review.
Cameron was lying on his bed looking at his phone. He had gotten nine new contacts but there was only one he looked at. It was his old friend Damian. He hadn't heard from him since there fight a week before he left for Ohio.
Cameron and Damian were the two outcasts in Vanguard and when Cameron told Damian he was leaving, Damian didn't take it too well. He said Cameron was only thinking about himself and then he started complaining about how he would be the only misfit in there school. He knew about Cameron's situation and knew he had to leave for his family but Damian was the one being selfish and didn't want to hear anything Cameron had to say.
Cameron and his family lead a pretty normal life in the beginning. His mum and dad were college sweethearts and were only married three months before they had him. He grew up a Christian and in his opinion, his mother had raised him perfectly. Being that he was a misfit, a large part of his life he became accustomed to being alone. His mother became more and more worried about his behavior. He had a group of invisible friends and he was becoming very anti-social, along with the weird twitches he would get when he was nervous or excited. So when he was six years old she decided to try for another child. She had always wanted two children but his father never wanted more than one. She had gotten pregnant right before he went to war and had decided not to tell him so not to worry him. When his father came back four years later to two boys, the abuse began. He started only with verbal abuse. Cameron and his brother would be playing with their cars and hear screams coming from their parents room. Being so young they didn't know what to do, so they put on some video games and pumped up the volume. One day when Cameron was 14, he came home to his father slapping his mother across the face and storming out the door. After hours of asking his mum what happened to no prevail, they watched cartoons in her room all night until his father came home. He was obviously drunk and slammed the door open, threw Cameron across the room and started hitting and yelling at his mother about lying to him and something about cheating. She hadn't cheated with anyone but he didn't want to believe she had his child without telling him. Cameron jumped on his father trying to make him stop but was only thrown to the ground and beat for "questioning authority". This happened on several occasions and he had to make up excuses about falling down stairs when teachers and faculty asked about his bruises and cuts. After a while his dad left and they hadn't seen him for a month. They thought everything was getting better when one day Cameron and his mum went to go grocery shopping while Johnny was at a friend's house. When they got back home they put everything away and Cameron called Johnny's friend's house to let them know they were going to pick him up, when his friends mother had said his father picked him up. He immediately called his father and began yelling at him over the phone. Everything else after that was a blur but they had met up with him at a Starbucks, so they knew there would be plenty of witnesses, and took Johnny back with a giant bruise forming on his arm. That was the final straw for his mum. She had tried several times to get a divorce but he would never finish the paperwork. So they got a map of the U.S. and picked a place at random. When Cameron's finger hit Lima Heights, Ohio, they got into the already packed car and drove to their new lives. On their way they stopped at hotels and cafe's to get web access to find schools and a place to live. They found an affordable two bedroom apartment and a high school and grammar school. They were destined to leave the past in Texas.
Cameron was about to press send when there was a knock on his door.
"Come in." Cameron said putting his phone down.
John opened the door with a wide smile on his face. "Mom said dinners ready. We're having sloppy Joes."
"Ok I'll be right there."
"You better hurry or I might eat them all." and Johnny ran to the dining room.
Cameron layed on his bed for a minute. He knew were Damian was coming from but he had to protect his family and moving was the only way. He laid there thinking about the last time he saw Damian, it was the day before they left. He and his mum had gone to the school to finish some paperwork and pick up whatever was left in his locker. While his mum was filling out the papers he went to his locker. Cameron and Damian were locker buddies all three years of high school and when Cameron got to his locker Damian was taking some books out of his. They exchanged solemn stares and before looking away Damian seemed as though he was going to say something but decided better of it. As Cameron put the last items from his locker, which were a locker shelf, a few magnets, and a pencil holder in his bag, Damian was walking away. Cameron couldn't leave without saying something so he called after Damian who turned, his face extremely red and water forming in his eyes.
Cameron walked up to him and embraced his only friend in a hug. "I'm sorry." then before he formed any tears he walked away.
"Cameron! Dinner is on the table! Come on!" his mum shouted from the dining room.
Cameron was awaken from his daze and got up to have dinner. They all talked about there first days at work or school. His mum had gotten a job at a reality agency and she said everyone was really nice and the atmosphere was great. He enjoyed seeing his mum happy for once. She still cried some nights but everything was getting better slowly. John had made a friend during gym class and he asked if he could hang out with him tomorrow. She let johnny hang out with his new friend for a while after school but they would have to hang out here. Johnny was only ten but he was extremely intelligent and bright for his age. He excelled in all of his classes, he was exceptionally athletic, and always had a positive attitude. John didn't know it but Cameron looked up to him, even though he was younger, he was so much stronger than him. Throughout everything that happened, he always found a way to put a smile of everyone's face. After they had discussed there days he told them about all of the ups and downs of his. Even though his mum was worried about the slushies, he assured her that they told him it was almost like an initiation and he was actually part of a group now, and his mum became extremely excited for him and was already asking when she could meet his new friends. Johnny jokingly complained about Cameron singing nonstop again and Cameron answered with a musical "Yeeeeeesss"
While washing the dishes Cameron finally came to the conclusion that he would wait until the end of the week and if Damian had not called him by then, he would call him and try to create some peace between them.
"Alright everyone settle down. Since we were welcoming Cameron yesterday we have to start working today. I decided to start this year with someone who is pretty modern but this a bit old fashioned." Mr. Schue stood from his stool and walked to the whiteboard.
"Is it KFC? That guy is really old but they still have the best fried chicken ever. Lord Tubbington made me get some for him yesterday and he didn't even share." Everyone stared at Brittany while Santana rubbed her back comfortingly saying she would get her some after school.
"Um, ok?" Mr. Schue turned back to the white board and began to write Michael Bublé. "We will be doing songs by Michael Bublé. He is like the modern day Frank Sinatra and I know how you guys like your newer music but we also have to have some oldies too" Mr. Schue walked back to the stool and sat down. "Kurt can you put the phone away?"
"Sorry" Kurt put his phone away not at all upset that he was caught.
"So I want everyone to try to find a song by him and give us your best take on it. Let's see if you can take something that's old and turned modern and make it even newer."
Kurt raised his hand once he was sure Mr. Schue had finished talking "Yes Kurt?"
Kurt had the biggest smile on his face as he spoke "I would just like to ask if it would be ok if we had another member join our family?"
Mr. Schue looked questionably at Kurt "Um yeah I guess the more the merrier. Who is it?"
Kurt nearly fell out of his chair as he got up to stand in front of the group, and practically shouted "Blaine is coming to McKinley!" Kurt was now hopping in place clapping.
Everyone seemed really excited but from what Cameron heard, Blaine was in one of the rival team, The Warblers. And Kurt started dating him when he went to Dalton for a brief period.
Rachel was bouncing in her seat when she asked "Why is he coming here? I mean I'm super excited for you and the team but Dalton is such a great school. Why would he leave everything he has there?"
Kurt stopped jumping but still had the huge smile as he looked at Rachel "Well ever since I came here we've had less and less time together and his parents are starting to run into some financial trouble. It's nothing big but he decided with his parents that if he spent senior year at a public school then they would have enough to pay off whatever bills and still pay for college if he doesn't get any scholarships. Which I don't see why he wouldn't get any. Plus is dad thinks he might still have a chance at being straight by being in a school with girls." Kurt smirked and rolled his eyes.
"Oh, ok than yay I can't wait. When is he coming? I think he should still try out just to be fair and maybe he would want to do a duet. We are duet partners remember." Finn was giving Rachel a very disapproving look and she dropped the smile "I'm just kidding honey, remember we established there is nothing romantic between us." and she lifted her head to give Finn a peck on the lips.
"Well they're supposed to finish the papers today so he should be here tomorrow. And if Mr. Schue wants him to try out then he could. I'll tell him that we're doing Bublé, he loves him." Kurt looked at Mr. Schue next to him "Yeah why not. We have to be fair and if it goes with the lesson then were killing two birds with one stone."
Kurt started jumping again and then he walked to Rachel and said laughingly "He will not being doing a duet." and then he turned to Cameron sitting next to Rachel "Oh and um when you can, could I get that clothes back. Apparently he really loved that cardigan. He has a weird obsession with them."
Cameron chuckled "Yeah I washed them last night, I'll bring them tomorrow. And having a lot of Cardigans and really liking them isn't weird. It's a perfectly normal obsession."
Kurt laughed "Ok thanks. I have a feeling that you two will hit it off right away." and Kurt walked back to his seat.
"Ok well let's get back to Mr. Bublé." Mr. Schue continued talking but no matter how hard Cameron tried to pay attention, his gaze would drift to Quinn sitting at the bottom of the bleachers. He was sitting at the top with Mercedes and Kurt whispering franticly to each other. There was something about her that he couldn't get out of his head. He thought about talking to her but then realized he had never really tried talking to a girl and chickened out.
Quinn lifted her head from her binder and raised her hand.
"Yes Quinn."
"Could I sing my song now? My dad really liked Michael Bublé so I'm pretty familiar with his songs."
"Oh wow! Yeah show us what you got." Mr. Schue pulled his stool away and placed a mic stand were the stool once occupied.
Quinn placed her binder under her seat and walked to the band. She whispered something and they all nodded.
Quinn started swaying at the mic and began to sing
I'm not surprised.
Not everything lasts.
I've broken my heart so many times I stopped keeping track.
She gave quick cold glances to Finn, Puck, and Sam then looked back down to the mic.
Talk myself in.
I talk myself out.
I get all worked up, then I let myself down.
I tried so very hard not to lose it.
I came up with a million excuses.
I thought I thought of every possibility.
And I know someday that it'll all turn out.
You'll make me work so we can work to work it out.
And promise you, kid, that I'll give so much more than I get.
I just haven't met you yet.
Quinn then looked up at Cameron who was staring in amazement. She smiled at him and he smiled back.
Mmmm...
She pulled the mic off the stand and started to dance with the music
I might have to wait.
I'll never give up.
I guess it's half timing,
And the other half's luck.
Wherever you are.
Whenever it's right.
You'll come out of nowhere and into my life.
Quinn sang sitting on the piano. Still swaying with the music
And I know that we can be so amazing.
And baby your love is gonna change me.
And now I can see every possibility.
Mmmm...
But somehow I know that it'll all turn out.
And you'll make me work so we can work to work it out.
And I promise you, kid, I'll give so much more than I get.
I just haven't met you yet.
They say all's fair.
In love and war.
But I won't need to fight it.
We'll get it right and,
We'll be united.
Once the trumpets started playing she walked across to the band like a soldier saluting her hat.
And I know that we can be so amazing.
And being in your life is gonna change me.
And now I can see every single possibility, mmmm.
Quinn walked back to the mic stand and placed the mic back in the holder.
And someday I know it'll all turn out.
And I'll work to work it out.
Promise you, kid, I'll give more than I get,
Than I get, than I get, than I get.
Ohhh!
You know it'll all turn out.
And you'll make me work so we can work to work it out.
And I promise you, kid, to give so much more than I get.
I just haven't met you yet.
I just haven't met you yet.
Ohh, promise you, kid, to give so much than I get.
The rest of the glee club began harmonizing the final verses
(I said love, love, love, love...)
I just haven't met you yet
I just haven't met you yet.
