Cameron had been silent the entire ride home, keeping his head down and hands planted firmly in his lap; only looking up occasionally to acknowledge that Lexus was alright—or as alright as she could be after witnessing such a monstrous thing. He was coming to terms with just how much he’d messed up. All his progress was set back and now Amelia and Kaiden would be on his case. He’d probably get assigned a personal guard again, just like when he first arrived at the hospital. “It’s just procedure.” The staff had promised, but none of the other patients had a brute of a man following them around, making sure they weren’t causing any trouble.

"We don’t have to tell them." Lexus mumbled to her boyfriend, scared of what would await them back at Thornewood if anyone got wind of what transpired. He said nothing, nodded stiffly. When they arrived back at the house, Cameron was quick to shuffle his way inside and up to Lex’s room, as if to hide from the city that only presented him with opportunities to extinguish the fire in the eyes of the woman he loved.

She’d still never speak a word. If asked about it, she’d deny it. She didn’t want the two to be split up and this would only prove to Amelia that they were toxic. She wouldn’t listen to the real story, about how Cameron had only done what he had to protect Lexus. Her mind would be made up the minute she heard the words “Cameron” and “fight”. Had he not been so bloody, the young woman might have left him alone for a minute to let him simmer down. But he was and it was her job to clean her savior’s wounds. Slowly ascending the stairs, Lexus sighed softly before knocking once and opening her door. “Tramp?” She called out for him softly. Her hand was held out to him, as per usual. By now she was damn sure he knew what it meant. I’m here. Cameron looked up at the door, heaving a sigh before reaching his hand out, beckoning Lex forward as he stood up. Once fingers met in the middle, Cam yanked her close and buried his bruised face into the crook of her neck, gripping at the back of her shirt. He certainly wouldn’t tell anyone, he didn’t need to added worry of thinking he’d land himself and Lex in further trouble. Kaiden was reasonable but the couple were on a warning.

"What do we do?" His hushed voice wavered. The twenty year old wound her hand into his hair, hand rubbing his back in what she hoped was a comforting motion.

"Nothing." She whispered, smoothing down the hair on his head. "We’re not doing anything. We’re calling no one. Not Kaiden, not Esmeralda, not Amelia. No one. Nick punched you and you did nothing in return. If anyone questions us, you’re going to tell them to call my parents—who will tell that story as the truth.” Her voice was strong, although hushed. She was stern, not allowing Cameron to deviate from the plan. “I would not survive being taken away from you again.” Lexus confessed. “My heart cannot take it. I’m just…I’m not strong enough to endure it—that kind of pain. Not twice.”

"I won’t let you." Cameron curled up close to Lexus as she spoke, nodding along with the plan before sighing and admitted that his hands and face hurt. Coming down from the adrenaline high was making him feel weak and tired—not a good combination. However, he was still mucky with blood, despite how much he’d tried to rub it off on the front of his jeans. Lex sighed at his admisson, kissing his forehead.

"I’m sorry." Honestly feeling like she should have tried harder to get Cameron inside. Maybe if she hadn’t given in so easily to him, if she had forced him inside—even if he would have been angry later—he wouldn’t have gotten hurt. "Come on." She gently pulled on his hand until he was standing and lead him into the bathroom. She sat him down on the edge of the tub before wetting a washcloth and bringing it gently to his face. "I know this hurts. I know. I’m sorry." Lex apologized as one hand cupped his face as the other started to clean it. Cameron sat submissively on the edge of the bath, feeling like this was all to familiar… instead he was being helped by someone he loved and trusted and he could see just how rapidly his life had taken a turn for the better and why he was so idiotic for risking that, but was Lexus’ safety he risked it for and he’d much rather have a swollen cheek and black eye, then see a single bruise on his girlfriend.

"Be gentle!" He hissed, although it wasn’t cruel. Lexus rolled her eyes, breathing out a laugh at the irony. She remembered him cleaning her wrists as clearly as if it was yesterday.

"Yeah, babe, I’m just gonna scrub at your face like a mad man." She teased, turning to rinse the blood off the white rag. She wrung it out, turning back to him and returning to her task. Cam sighed, resting his forehead against hers and bringing a gentle kiss to the tip of her nose.

"I’m sorry." He whispered, hoping she’d just take the apology rather than tell him it wasn’t needed. "But you know why I did that, right? Why I wouldn’t let Nick talk to you that way?"

Lexus thought for a moment, only speaking after she finished cleansing his wounds on his face. She held one hand carefully in her own. The white rag slowly rubbed over blood stained knuckles. “Because you love me.”

Cameron exhaled a laugh. “I do love you but, because I love you, I often do very stupid things for you. Ranging from beating up a guy who I get jealous of and landing myself in ISO to waking up at three o’clock in the morning for a whole week straight just to watch Gossip Girl with you.” He lifted his now clean hand up slowly, cupping the right side of her face and letting his fingertips rest on her neck. Blue eyes locked with brown as he suddenly turned serious. “I did this because he scared you, because he yelled at you. And I am never going to let anyone disrespect you or scare you when I’m around.”

Cameron was losing hold on himself, he could feel it happening every day they were out of Washington. Still weak, still stupid, still broken. However, this realization had hit him hard, and therefore he was trying especially hard not to show his struggles, for Lex’s sake. Her parents didn’t need to see the real man her daughter was so madly in love with. That would corrupt the foundations of everything they’d created over the past two and a half weeks. Boston was so obviously helping Lexus, the beautiful light seemed to be reignited in the young girl, the one she had originally arrived in Thornewood with. If Cameron extinguished that fire once more, he’d hate himself an unruly amount and that was why he had to make sure his arm was still wrapped ever so tightly around the twenrty year old’s waist and his smile didn’t falter. There would be no disrupting the peace. It wouldn’t be too long until they’d be back and Cameron could go right back to irritating Kaiden, but until then…he was powering through.

"So…when are we getting hot chocolate?"

Lexus turned to him with a smile, hands resting on his chest as she peered up at him with beautiful brown eyes he couldn’t help but admire.

"Um…excuse you, did I promise you hot chocolate?" She teased, giggling softly. Lexus had been nothing short giddy the last two weeks, between going out on a date practically every day with Cam and finally reconnecting with her parents, she couldn’t have been happier. Cameron smirked, his eyes travelling down to peer at her delicate hands resting on his chest. The brisk October air caught in his already damaged lungs, causing each breath to be drawn in a little deeper than normal. He really had to quit smoking.

"You did." His cool reply was followed with the swift motion of strong hands holding Lexus’s hips in order to hoist her up and over his shoulder, carrying her in any which way he pleased. Lex let out a surprised gasp, shrieking for a brief moment. In a feeble attempt to annoy him enough until he let her go, Lexus kicked her legs slowly. She laughed as he told her he didn’t know where he was going. "Well then don’t you think you should put me down?" "Hmm…" Cameron slowly mulled over this question, taking another corner as he pretended to weigh his options. "It’d seem the wiser choice, wouldn’t it?" He chuckled, tightening his grip around the back of her knees to hold her kicking legs in place. "But its fun getting lost." He whispered menacingly.

"No! Nope! Not really!" She chirped from behind his back. "Babe, what happened to me being precious cargo? Who dangles precious cargo over their shoulder?" The twenty year old complained playfully, trying to gain understanding about where she was despite only being able to see the ground. She heard a few people chuckle as they watched Cameron carry her over her shoulder around the street fair. Her already cold pink cheeks flushed, suddenly happy that Cameron could not see. Cameron shrugged.

"You’re safe!" He promised, breaking out into a gentle run down the path.

"NO, DON’T RUN, YOU ASS!" Lexus pleaded, only earning a laugh from Cameron. A small cafe came into view and Cam’s eyes widened in excitement.

Swiftly placing his girlfriend back on the ground and pointing ahead of them, he beamed at her, “Let’s go there!” However, Lexus was placed back on the ground, she saw a flash of vibrant pink hair and knew exactly who it was. Her fears had finally caught up to her. The excitement in Cameron’s eyes practically killed her as she gently placed her hand on his tattooed arm.

"Yeah, um, actually, can you—just—go get me one?" She wondered, eyes pleading with a small smile as she tried to pretend everything was fine. She placed multiple kisses on her boyfriend’s lips, drowning him in a sea of affection in hopes of him not worrying. Cameron attempted to return each kiss, eventually wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her to his chest in order to give her a better kiss. "Here, look, ready?" Lex pulled away, shrugging off her purse and gave it to him. Laughing, she kissed his cheek. "Now go. Money is in there....somewhere…"

Cameron was at first oblivious to Lexus’ fears, it wasn’t until she tried to send him alone…that just wasn’t right!

"What? No! Come with. Where are you going?" He asked like a dependant, panicked puppy. Out of the corner of her eye, Lexus saw the pink haired woman, Allie, getting closer. Gently, she turned Cameron around and nudged him towards the door.

"Nowhere, nowhere! I’ll be right here. You’ll be fine, I’m sure my mom is in there chatting. Just go inside, Cam. Come on, you’re so cute the lady behind the counter will just be begging to give you some. You won’t have a problem.” She could hear the crunching of leaves underneath James’ shoes, making her heart beat faster. Where was Nick? James and Allie wouldn’t have come alone. Where was Nick? Cameron had to get out of here, Lexus couldn’t risk him losing control. All his progress would have been for nothing. Cameron shook his head, stubborn feet planting firmly into the ground.

"Lexus. Stop it. What’s wrong?" His voice lowered with concern, leaning in to meet eye to eye. "And do not lie.” He warned before straightening up to take a sweeping glance around their surroundings, trying to get a better understanding of what had happened to suddenly cause this change in her. The crunching of leaves underneath James’ shoes and Allie’s voice were getting louder and Lex could have sworn she was trembling. She pushed the hair out of her boyfriend’s eyes, trying to take a deep breath for his sake.

"There are people that you don’t like here; people that want to talk to me. People you won’t want me to talk to and as soon as you find out which one is Nick…" Lexus shook her head. "Go inside. Please go inside for me.”

Cameron brought gentle fingertips down Lex’s arms and pressed one soft kiss to her forehead in an attempt to calm her down. He hated how scared she got, even during silly arguments. He was used to it, now, though, he promised himself before pulling her into his side, “Not going anywhere.” He promised, there was no way he would let Lex deal with this by herself, not when there was the potential of her getting hurt.

"No—Cam—if you loved me at all you’d just go ins—"

"Lexie!" Allie called, fake smile stretching out her disgustingly blue lipstick coated lips.

"It's because I love you, that I’m not going anywhere." Cameron mumbled, trying to ignore the sickeningly sweet voice that seemed to cut right through his soul. She was disgusting. He could tell before he even laid eyes on her. He wrapped an arm around Lexus’ shoulders, holding her close to his side in a protective manner. James glanced at Lexus carefully, surveying her. He couldn’t help but feel betrayed as the striking contrast between who she was before she left and who she was now starred at him point blank.

"We knew better." Was all he could say. "We knew better." Lexus knew what he was really saying. We knew better than to let you go. Now look at you. 

"Who's this?" Cameron spat, eyeing up the male.

"Not anyone important." Lexus murmured, keeping herself in front of him just in case.

"Now, now, sweetheart, you shouldn’t lie." Came Nick’s laughter from behind the couple. Cameron’s whole body tensed, holding Lexus firmly in place after he allowed her to move in front of him. He did not care for the pet name. Lexus was his. His Lady, his sweetheart, his babe, his girl. Nick had made the mistake of letting her go and by no means would Cameron allow Nick to trick himself into thinking he could claim what was his.

"Nick, you mustn’t laugh. Though, Lexie, I do wonder what makes you think the jolly black giant—"

“DON’T!" Lexus almost shouted, losing her composure for a minute, before Cameron’s hands held hers tighter. "Don’t call him that." Her head turned to Nick, tossing him a look over her shoulder. Cameron blocked Nick’s body with his shoulder. Don’t look.

"Ah, I knew this would be beautiful reunion." James smirked at his friends and Lexus, thrilled to see Lexus begin to lose her composure. "Oh, though, I suppose you and Nick have already reunited." Now his smile turned wicked, looking for Cameron’s reaction as he brought up Nick’s visit to Washington last summer. Cameron disregarded the comments made about him, only thinking about how he should break free of Lexus’ hold should the moment arise where he needed to protect her. Too many painful memories swirled around his head after a simple mention of Nick’s visit to Lakewood. Cam’s piercing blue eyes glared harshly upon the sickly looking ring leader as he circled them, stopping to stand in front of Lexus. Cam had a hard time understanding what the appeal of him was and what Lexus ever saw in him. "Don’t think we’ve had the pleasure of meeting.” The twenty-two year old seethed, scooting Lexus behind him despite her brief protest.

"I believe you’ve angered it, love." Allie cackled. James raised his eyebrows, pretending to be shocked. "What?" He gasped. "Have I? Oh, no, no, friendly giant, I did not mean to anger you! I merely…meant to inform you…to educate you…look how unhappy she is.” James now pouted at Lexus. “Nicholas, have you seen what he’s done to her?” His lip curled up in disgust at her healthy figure, her clear brown eyes. Meanwhile, red, sleep deprived eyes constantly eyed her up and down in disgust. “M—maybe you guys should just…go. We—”

“Speak up, Lexie! No one can ever hear you when you’re mumbling. Still trembling, are you? Oh, come on, sweetheart! Look at me for a minute. Man up!" Nick shouted, causing Lexus to jump slightly at the inflection of his voice. That was it. Cameron had hit his limit the moment Nick’s voice rose and began to shout at Lex. That was not how she deserved to be treated and he wouldn’t tolerate it. Maybe Lexus didn’t have the courage to speak up for herself but, he certainly would. Cam gently squeezed her hand once, in a reassuring manner, before letting go and advancing towards Nick.

"Sorry…is that how you talk to a lady? Or did your mother not raise you right? Ah, what am I saying? Clearly Mommy didn’t care about you enough to cultivate you into a man worthy to speak to Lexus, seeing as you’ll always be a heroin addicted lowlife!” Tattooed arms pushed at Nick’s shoulders, this time asking for the confrontation. “Why don’t you take a look at her, Nick? Does it repulse you—to see how healthy she is in comparison to you; how much better she is than you’ll ever be?” 

"I think you’re just mad, consolation prize. Don’t think I treat her right?" He took a step closer, looking into Cameron’s piercing blue eyes, a smirk dancing on his lips. "Least I’ve never lied to her, tried to tell her she’s got a better life—deserves a better life.” Nick’s voice dropped to a whisper, “She deserves this. And you ruined her.” Cameron’s eyes widened, a split second of genuine shock swept over him before he realized that Nick was worse than the scum in Camden.

"I don’t lie. Look at her! She has the better life—because look who is out of Boston, clean, healthy and happy. And then we have, well, you—the disgusting, delusional, dirtbag.” Nick was the kind of guy Cameron would’ve steered well clear from back in Camden. He was what Tom probably would’ve turned into…had he not died. Cameron hated the man in front of him.“I saved her.” His already deep voice turned dark, filled with hatred as he leaned in close, making sure to enunciate each word perfectly clear, despite the fact they were slipping through gritted teeth. Life was kicking Nick down enough. Cameron knew he shouldn’t waste his energy fighting him. Instead, the twenty-two year old sneered before turning away to once again wrap his arm around Lex’s waist, pulling her close to his chest and into a lust-filled, and partly spiteful, kiss. His sole purpose to make Nick jealous and see what he had missed out on—that the better man wins. Though, when he came back to her, Lexus’ trembling hands steadied as his arm wrapped around her. She could control him when he was in her arms, it was when he wasn’t was when she worried. Curiosity met ferocity in a needy kiss, making her pull away with a question in her eyes. Can we go? Lexus really didn’t want to be here anymore, she was convinced her legs would give out underneath her any moment now. However, just as Lexus turned to walk down the hill, Nick balled his hand into a fist and his knuckles made contact with the side of Cameron’s head. The blow sent him stumbling backwards, a mix between a growl and a whimper tearing through his mouth without permission. Lexus, reacting purely out of instinct, punched her ex-boyfriend square in the face. Nick’s hand raised to slap her back, unable to control the instinct he had to punch back when he was being hit. The punch definitely did some damage and if the adrenaline of seeing Nick raise a hand at Lexus hadn’t kicked it, Cam would probably of been suffering. There was no time for acknowledging pain, his instinct was to protect. The man year old lunged forward, strong hands gripping at the shorter boy’s throat as he threw him to the ground. “Do not touch her!” He spat, blood mixing in with his saliva. Cameron’s fist balled up tight and began throwing hard punches into the other’s face. Looking back on it, there would be so many regrets when Cam would reflect on his actions, but in the moment, he only saw red and rationality was long gone. The satisfaction he gained from hearing bone cracking under his knuckles brought an evil smirk to his features. James could only watch as his best friend got pummeled to the ground. Allie held onto him tightly, pulling on him until they ran away from the man with blood on his fists and a smirk on his face. Lexus was shocked and rendered useless for a moment. For the first time in her life, she saw what Cameron was truly capable of, what Camden groomed him to be and she felt horrified. It was as if with every punch—every bone crushing underneath her boyfriend’s fist, she watched his progress slip away. Kaiden had told her once before and now his words only echoed in her mind as she was unable to look away from the damage being inflicted, “Sociopaths have violent tendencies.”

“STOP!" Lexus shrieked, wrapping her arms around Cameron’s neck, pulling him back until their asses hit the ground his back rested against her chest. "Stop," She whispered, pleading. "Stop, stop, stop. This isn’t who you are." The twenty year old swore, planting kisses in her boyfriend’s short hair as her hands attempted to cover his bloody knuckles. "This isn’t who you are." Not anymore. Lexus would never let him turn back into the detached monster he perceived himself to be when he was in Camden. Cameron was thankful. He knew if Lexus didn’t pull him off of Nick, he never would have stopped. As his ass collided with the ground and swollen knuckles were covered, the twenty two year old felt himself relax back against his girlfriend’s chest, despite the fact that emotions were still running high. It took a few moments, but then as fast as the adrenaline came on, it was gone, leaving Cameron a sore, trembling mess covered in blood.

"Lexie!" Oh, how hard it was for Lexus not to cringe. The twenty year old swallowed hard, giving her mother a stiff, awkward nod. Cameron (still lugging the suitcases as the patients were ushered inside) found his eyes wandering over his girlfriend's childhood home. It was so different from anything he had ever seen in Camden. It was clean. "I'm so happy you both are here." Lexus' mother, Amy, a brown-haired blue-eyed beauty with crowsfeet pulled her daughter into an embrace. The girl's hands slowly found their way to her mother's back as she half-heartedly reciprocated the hug. Amy felt a pang in her heart at how awkward she knew her daughter felt but was hopeful that by the end of their visit, they would part happily. 

With a smile, Amy pulled away and found Cameron with his arms crossed. 

"You must be Cameron." She looked at him with so much gratitude in her eyes that the twenty-two year old shivered. Stop. Would she cry? Don't you fucking dare. 

"I am. Nice to meet you." Cameron nodded, forcing a smile for Lex's sake as she looked at him with a pale face that read why-did-you-do-this-to-me. Still, she moved his side and he wrapped an arm around her waist. 

"Am--" No, calling your parents by their first name is rude. "Mother--" Better. "You'll have to excuse him, he's not a fan of, um, let's call it...personal contact." Two forced smiles beamed at Amy, causing her to chuckle. 

"Well, alright. Nice to meet you, as well, Cameron. You know, my husband was just here..." With that, she scurried off to find her husband. 

"Oh my fucking god." Lexus sighed, whispering in her boyfriend's ear. 

"You're doing the right thing, Lexie. I'm very proud of you." As suspected, Cameron using her childhood nickname earned him a playful slap on the back of his head.  He chuckled, rubbing the back of his head with his free hand. "Oh, and just so you know, I have no problem with 'personal contact'....with you. In fact," Cam wrapped his other arm around her waist, pulling his girlfriend flush against his chest. "I--" 

"I promise you, if you make a sex joke right now, I'll--" 

"What? Blush madly? Ooh, I'm so scared." He teased, nipping at her skin playfully as he heard footsteps approaching them. Lexus, unaware of the footsteps drawing nearer, opened her mouth to reply. However, her father's voice behind her made her jump. 

"Hey, Lexie--" 

Cameron jumped a little at the sound of the other man's voice, greeting his daughter that was currently pressed up against Cam's chest...probably not the best way to meet the parents of a partner. Lexus practically threw Cameron off of her, face beet red. 

"WHAT? I mean, yes! Ro--Father! Yes! Hi! Hey! I'm gonna--bags. Stairs. I'm going, bye." With that, Lexus grabbed their luggage and sprinted up the stairs. 

As Lex dashed off upstairs, Cam found himself feeling at a loss for words and a little dumbfounded by the sudden disappearance of his girlfriend. "Oh.." his eyebrows drew together into a tightly knit line. First impressions, first impressions. The words rang round his head for a few seconds before he was able to act. Placing one size twelve shoe in front of the other, Cam stepped forward to meet the man at least twenty years his senior, sticking out a large, tattooed hand he leant forward a little, "Nice to mee--" mid-sentence the twenty-two year old lost his footing and stumbled forwards muttering a far from quiet, "Fuck!" as he tried to regain composure.

Although at this point all composure was long gone. The man became wide eyed and quickly flustered as he realized he'd just tripped and sworn infront of Mr. Hale.

"Shit, sorry!" And again. "Oh god, forgive me..its been a long day. I'm Cam...it's a pleasure to meet you both." He struggled to get the words out and really hoped Lex's father would take his outstretched hand before Cam started to look really ridiculous and have to find a way to casually retract his hand.

Ross, understanding how nerve-racking it was to meet a girlfriend's father for the first time, only offered Cameron a laugh before shaking the man's hand. 

Happy birthday, baby! 

Love, 

Tramp 

"Really?" Lex asked teasingly, looking over her shoulder at Cameron as he rifled through his drawers for some clothes to replace the towel around his waist.

"Really what?" He chirped happily, glancing at her for a hot minute before turning to his task at hand.

"That’s all you could bring yourself to write?” The smile remained on her lips to let him know she was teasing. Cam was a man of very few words. Even in their discussions. Lex had learned to love that about him.

Cameron exhaled a laugh, pulling on his usual black skinny jeans. He walked over to Lexus, peering down at her as she sat cross legged on the floor surrounded by presents galore. He read the card once again from over her shoulder. His girlfriend craned her neck to look up at him, raising an eyebrow.

"Well, it’s got all the important parts, doesn’t it?"

"What do you mean?" Lexus wondered as he joined her on the ground.

The excitement stirred him out of bed. The constant fluttering of his heart as his eyes flickered relentlessly back and forth from his sleeping girlfriend to the glowing red numbers of the alarm color prevented Cameron from falling back asleep. This was Lexus’ twentieth birthday! Her teen years were finally, undeniably, over!

Finally, as eight o’clock’s morning light started to filter through the blinds in Lexus’ room, Cameron rolled over and wrapped an arm around his girlfriend’s waist as he dotted her cheek in feathery light kisses. Lex’s eyes opened slowly, blinking a few times. She cuddled further into the bed, burying the side of her cheek that wasn’t exposed to Cameron against the pillow. As per usual, he was met with a groan.

”I know, I know, I know.” His voice rough with sleep murmured sympathetically. “But it’s your birthday, aren’t you excited?”

Lexus spit the little white and green pill out forcefully, watching it hit the guard’s eye as she heard a satisfying little growl come from him as he rubbed a hand over his face. The man (with muscles the size of bowling balls, Lexus noticed) took another pill out of the bottle that read PROZAC in big black letters.

Did this guy ever give up? The nineteen year old was sure spitting a pill into someone’s eye was the loudest “fuck you” she could give him without having to actually verbally communicate it. 

"I told you, your therapist wants you to take these!" The guard grabbed a hold of her, one hand flying to her jaw as he forced it open and the other squeezed her arm so tightly that she was convinced the man would pop it clean off. Her back slammed against the wall, causing Cameron to start yelling out a slew of profanities in between the threats that chilled Lexus to her core. His own personal guard banged on his door. 

"And I told you,” Lexus turned her head, trying to get her mouth as far away as she could. “Kaiden would never ask me to swallow happy pills.” The nineteen year old growled as she struggled against his grip, Soon enough he made the mistake to try and force-feed her the pill again. This time, Lexus was able to wedge her hand in between them and shove him off of her, 

"You’re right. It’s the Warden. She wants you to have it." He panted, staying put where she had shoved him. Sweat dripped seemingly from every pore, causing Lexus to shy away in disgust. Gross.

"It’s fucking twelve o’clock in the morning. Please tell me why the hell Amelia would give you orders so late at night to force feed me sunshine and rainbows." She wouldn’t. If the girl was so damn hellbent on being whatever they deemed "depressed" then Amelia would certainly let her .Amelia did not waste her time. She had too much to do. Lexus knew that even after just meeting her once. She remembered how stunned she was that she had even gotten a tour from the woman at all.

The guard didn’t respond, instead he backed Lex into the corner of the room, gripping the bottle of antidepressants in his right hand as his hand grabbed her chin roughly. He successfully got the Bostonian’s mouth open after struggling with her for a few moments. Her heart thumped against her chest, physically causing her discomfort as his fingers got closer to her mouth. Just as he was about to drop the pill into her mouth, Lexus bit his thumb and pointer finger. 

"WHAT THE FUCK!?" 

The man jerked away from her, shaking his hand in an attempt to take the pain away. Lexus ripped the bottle of pills out of his hand, hitting him over the head with it twice before uncapping it and throwing it so violently against the wall that it made a loud THUMP! 

“Get Hendrix. I dare you." She seethed, watching the blood drip from the man’s fingers after breaking eye contact with him. He curled his hand up into a fist, he knocked on the door with his uninjured hand. The other guard let him out of the isolation room. The girl uncharacteristically let out a triumphant laugh as she noticed the once completely white room had been ruined by a few small drops of red blood. 

The unharmed guard turned to the other, closing the door to Lex’s room after letting him out. He smirked at the bleeding man. Did that really just happen? 

"You gonna call Hendrix?" He wondered, raising an eyebrow while making no attempt to wipe the smirk off his face. 

"And say what? I let a little girl like that do this?" He held up his bleeding finger. "Hell no." 

Lexus walked to her bed, knocking on the wall she leaned her back on. Cameron only let out a laugh.
