Chapter 7: Cameron

When I’d gotten home from Jody’s, my apartment had been locked and dark. I never imagined anyone being inside waiting on me; least of all, Asher. He didn’t have a key to my place. I walked in, took my shoes off and was confronted by his dark silhouette the minute I walked passed the living room. It was like something straight out of a scary movie. At first, he was just loud and accusatory. He demanded explanations of where I’d been, who I’d been with and why his friends were telling him I was out with another man. Apparently, Mike had left out that I was with a man and a teenage boy. Either that or Asher had ignored that part and formed his own, made up version of my activities.

I tried to tell him about Jase from the center and how I was helping him apply for college, but he wasn’t hearing any of it. For some reason, being around the guys maybe, made me feel safe, untouchable or something. I don’t know, I can’t explain it. I just wasn’t scared of him. I should’ve been because when I told him that I thought he should leave; he lunged. I don’t remember a lot. I remember trying to get to the bathroom so I could shut the door and him flying through it, making me fall back and hit the back of my head off the bathtub and splitting it open. That didn’t explain the swollen shut, black eye or the numerous shoe prints in my right side ribs. The police had to take pictures and it was humiliating. I felt like a battered wife and they treated me as if it was my fault. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t feel like a victim, but I certainly didn’t ask for this.

“Cameron, please. I don’t want you to be home by yourself if he comes back.” Jody says again, after offering me a place to stay while they look for and question Asher. I’m not getting my hopes up because I know that nothing will be done about him. If they can find him, they’re going to issue a temporary restraining order until we go to court. I want a real one, an effective one and I want people to take it seriously. Just because he’s a fancy attorney should not give him the opportunities to get away with such terrible things.

“Are you sure? What did the guys say?” I asked, still skeptical. I didn’t want to be a burden and I was nervous about being around Jody so much. I’m pretty sure I had white knight syndrome, where I was falling in love with him because he saved me, or some shit like that. That’s a thing, right? Anyway, I was worried about it almost as much as I was about Asher coming back after me.

“The guys will tell you themselves that they’d rather you’d be safe. Conner especially, he’s very worried about you. I thought he was going to tackle me for coming back here before him.
