By the early afternoon, we were in Cam's truck driving down the road. Cam said he had to drop in at his work to do something for one of the cases he was working on. He ran back out to the truck with a folder in his hand.

"What's that?" I asked, eyeing the envelope.

"Just some witness statements." He said, placing it on the seat. "I have to look over them later tonight."

"Oh, what happened?" I asked, curious about what was in there. I went to go grab for them and he pulled it away and stuck it on the other side of him where I couldn't reach it.

"Domestic battery case. The usual stuff." He said, concentrating on the road like he was stuck in a traffic jam and couldn't move.

He reached over and turned the music up. It was too loud for us to talk over. It was like he didn't want to talk to me today. I was fine with it. We had gabbed for hours last night like teenagers. I was comfortable in the silence in the truck. My head was noisy enough on its own.

I grabbed his hand and he tensed a little. His eyes shifted over to me and I smiled at him. He squeezed my hand back and brought it to his lips to kiss it.

The roads looked familiar to me, but I wasn't sure exactly where we were. It was somewhat rural. I wondered where he was taking me today. Maybe he had something romantic planned at a farm or something. I was so excited just to be wherever he was.

"Cami, I can't wait to see where we are going." I was dancing in my seat, about to jump into his lap. "Are we going to be outside? It's a really nice day out. The sun is so pretty on the trees. This is going to be so much fun. I haven't been out I the daytime in so long. It's kind of like I became a vampire or something. I didn't suck anyone's blood, though, because that would be really disgusting. Could you imagine having to do that all the time? I saw a vampire bat one time at the zoo and he looked at me. I think he wanted to eat me."

"He probably did, Jess." Cam said, squeezing my hand harder.

"What do you think his name was? Maybe it was like Jeff or Rufio? Maybe it was Vlad like Dracula? My Dad had a dog named Potato once. He told me the dog was bigger than my Mom. Cam, we should get a puppy. Can we go buy a puppy today?" My eyes lit up in excitement. My parents never let us get a dog because they were always too busy.

"Hey, Jess. Can you close your eyes for a second? We are almost here, darling, and I want it to be a surprise." He said with a strained smile. Cam was nervous about our date. Even if I hated it, I would tell him I loved it. I would love it because it was a surprise from him to me if no other reason.

I covered my eyes willingly. I didn't want to ruin it by cheating.

"Remember. No peeking, Jess." He whispered, shaking. He was so adorable when he was nervous.

"I swear I will not even try to peek once. I'm really happy we are doing this today. I missed you so much. Every day I was gone, it was like a Cam shaped hole was in my body. This is like our new beginning, Cam. No Nathan, no parents, and no rules. It's just the two of us like it was meant to be. You and me. Jessa and Cam, no wait, Cam and Jessa. That's it. Our ship name could be Jameron or maybe Cessa. Ohhh, how about Jam. Jam sounds so delicious." I was smiling under my hands. When I get him home tonight, I was going to thank him all night long for being such a wonderful, amazing man.

Cameron slowed the truck down and I felt it shift into park. I was waiting for him to tell me I could look. My heart was racing and I was seeing colors in my brain swirling with the songs playing in my head. I felt so alive.

"Jess." Cam's tone was serious and labored. "Before you look, I have something to say."

"I'm listening, Cami." I said, growing more anxious every second.

"Jess. I love you. I want you to know how much you mean to me. I would do anything for you. I mean absolutely anything. You are my everything. Do you understand, Jess? You are my whole life." He said, kissing my forehead.

"I know, Cami. I feel the same. I love you too." I said, smiling.

"Jess. Please forgive me." He said, taking my hand away from my eyes and held it tightly in his.

My body stiffened immediately and the tears fell down my face.

"No, Cameron. No." I turned my head to stare out the window.

"I'm sorry. This was the only way." He said, trying to hold my hand. I pulled away from him and reached for the door handle. He locked the power lock and I fought with him, trying to get it open.

"Let me out, Cameron. Let me out." I started wailing away with my hand on the passenger side window. I needed to break the glass to get out.

"Jessa, you're going to hurt yourself, darling." He tried to grab my hands and I went to claw at his face.

"No, Cameron. Why are you doing this to me?" I screamed, trying to pull out my hair. I grabbed a handful and yanked, pulling out a chunk.

Three large men walked towards the truck door. I frantically fought, trying to get out before they could get their hands on me. Cameron grabbed the envelope on the seat and then proceeded to unlock the door just in time for one of the meaty guys to grab the door handle.

Cameron opened his door and climbed out.

"I'm Officer Cameron Nash." He flashed his badge at the beefy men. "I'm escorting an involuntary admittance. Jessa Miller. The order was put in by Dr. Schroeder yesterday. I have the signed document stating she is to be admitted immediately."

Cam handed over the envelope that he had picked up from the police station to one of them.  The guy took it out and read over it quickly.  He motioned for the other two to proceed.

I pulled on the door handle, trying to hold it closed as one of the orderlies yanked, trying to pry it open. He had over a hundred pounds on me and there was no way I was going to win this battle.

The truck door flew open and I fell, hitting the ground with a thud. Cam was at my side in seconds, trying to help pick me up and dust me off.

"Why did you do this, Cam? Take me back home." I screamed, thrashing against him.

"I love you and you need to be here to get better. I'm doing this for you." He said, doing everything he could to hold onto me.

"You're just like everyone else. You're a liar! You are a fucking liar! You don't love me. If you loved me, you wouldn't do this to me." I screamed, swinging at him over and over again, making contact with him. I hit him in the face and saw blood trickle from his lip. He didn't fight me. He didn't even try to stop me.

Two of the orderlies came and grabbed my arms and started to pull me away from him.

"I do love you, Jessa, and that's why I am the one standing here right now."

Then it clicked in my garbled brain, the conversation in the hall. I was too far gone to see it at the time. The quick acceptance from my Dad to let me go with Cam. My Dad backing my Mom off when she refused to let me go. They set this whole thing up. Cameron only slept with me to get me to trust him enough to bring me here.

He betrayed me. They all betrayed me.

"I fucking hate you, Cameron. Do you hear me? I fucking hate you and never want to see you again! I hope you fucking die!" I fought against the guy pulling me up the stairs.

"I already have." He said, turning to walk towards his truck. He climbed in without another glance in my direction.

"Fuck you, Cameron Nash. You're a liar. I hate you! I hate you!" I screamed, falling to my knees.

The orderly tried to pick me up and I flopped down sobbing in a ball on the cold concrete ground. Cameron's truck roared to life and he peeled out of the parking lot without even looking back.

"Come back, Cami. Don't leave me. Please don't leave me."
