Chapter 11

Levi was in his room. He was sitting in his wheelchair while his eyes were focused at the television.

He was surprised when it suddenly turned off.

“Can you please stop watching those interviews? They don’t make any sense,” his mother yelled at him.

Levi knew what his mother was feeling, and he was sorry because he caused this shame to their family.

But he knew the truth. Everything that Cameron said about him was all lies. So, he couldn’t understand exactly what the woman wanted.

He could say that the woman had changed a lot from the day that he first met her.

Cameron was sweet and she looked so innocent. He thought that the woman would always love him, at worst and in richness. But he was shocked when everything happened, and he saw her real colour. Though he must admit that he was actually blinded by his love, and he tried to give himself reasons why Cameron was doing that.

But he found out after the interview, that he was a fool to think about reasons to not feel mad at her.

Levi was just quietly staring at the television screen which was already off. Even if he had been hearing the news a hundred times already, things were still slowly sinking in his mind.

“Levi? Are you listening to me?” His mother said which brought him back to his senses.

He just nodded to her. What was he supposed to be saying?

He was watching an interview with Cameron again from the other shows. She was telling everyone that she didn’t expect his situation. She even said that his behavior was getting worse. She explained herself that she didn’t come to visit him because he was blaming her for what happened to him. She said that he was accusing her of the accident.

She narrated that she had a lot of questions about the caller, and he was annoyed. So, he left, and the accident should have not happened if she didn’t act like that. She told the public that he was distressed when he left her home that night. And that was the time as well when he met with an accident. With her words, she was really firm with her words that Levi was blaming her for what happened that night.

Those were just a few of Cameron’s lies. She was trying to defend herself for not visiting him in the hospital because his teammates had defended him. They said that they never saw Cameron, even her shadow, visiting him when he was hospitalized.

The netizen was all divided between the two ex-lovers. Some were for Cameron and some sympathized for Levi.

There were people who said that Cameron was a social climber and she just wanted public attention. And, they said that she was able to get what she wanted but in a very wrong way. She had abandoned him when he needed her the most.

But some also said that it was good that from the start Cameron had left Levi. They believed Cameron’s words that he was a bad person behind his good looks.

There were a lot of things that were circulating about him. And, while Cameron was busy making lies and attending different interviews, he chose to stay silent.

He knew that nothing would happen if he would try to depend on himself. From what it looked; Cameron was enjoying what she was doing. She was enjoying fabricating stories to ruin his image while she was getting everyone’s attention.

And, he didn’t care anymore. Whatever he would say, people always had something to say as well.

“Levi, please, listen to me,” his mother’s cracked voice made his head turn to her. “You can overcome this, son. Please don’t mind Cameron and those people who believed her and judged you even without knowing you,” his mother said in a cracked voice.

He knew that his mother was hurt because of everything that was happening to him now. The truth was he was embarrassed to his parents because they had to be in this kind of shame because of him. Though they kept on telling her that the truth would be soon revealed.

It had been a week since everything started to happen. Seven days had passed in his life and he felt like he was in a different world.

He was not stepping out of his room, nor have he talked to anyone except for his parents who come in and out of his room. They were always checking on him as they were afraid that he might be doing something to himself.

The television has been in his room since he was in high school, so they couldn’t remove it.

The television made him busy while he locked himself in the four corners of his room. He was busy watching Cameron’s interviews with her from different programs. He was busy listening to this woman’s lies. There’s a lot more about Cameron that he had discovered.

He even saw that some directors already approached her and made her live in a movie. He couldn’t even understand how she could be happy and proud when she made his life miserable.

Cameron’s happiness took away the joy in his heart. He couldn’t imagine how her conscience was able to take it.

How could she sleep at night with everything that she was doing? How could she sleep properly without thinking that in order to get attention, she had to ruin his image?

He just fell in love, and he never thought that the woman that he loved would be the reason why he would be feeling hopeless and miserable. He started to feel this way since he got in an accident, and he couldn’t accept that Cameron had abandoned him because of a happy and a better life. She instantly became a celebrity after she had abandoned him.

He couldn’t quite imagine what he did wrong to her that she was able to do this to her and to their relationship.
