**CAMILLA**
I jumped on him, the goal was to try to pin him down. He kept giggling, due to my indirect tickling, or it could turn out as my advances and actions were amusing to Dylan. The latter fits his personality better. I got more annoyed and threw punches on every part of his body that I could."Say you’re sorry."I commanded, this was tiring, but I didn't want to back down without securing anything for myself.Instead of apologising as I asked, he chuckled, His stupid dreamy eyes twinkling with excitement. What did I say a second ago?My eyes shifted from his and to the position we were in. I was straddling him and his hands were extremely close to my ass. That explains his excitement and eagerness not to leave anytime soon.I blushed furiously, trying to get off him, he only pushed back and our faces were almost touching. I gulped trying to keep my eyes off his lips. Don't give into temptation. This is what he wants. To push me into making a move then make a big deal about it later on. Don't Camilla. Just stand up and run in the other direction. Think about Kyle. Think about his feelings.I shook my head and kept my gaze on those lips, if I just leaned in a little bit, I would taste them. Giving into temptation, I scotched closer about to fuse our lips together when I heard the garage open. It gave me the reality check I needed to know that his parents were back, aside from that I had a boyfriend, Dylan was a player and this was a recipe for destruction. I pushed him off me with all the strength I had, wiped my face with my sweaty palms and ran out of the room, the nearest flight of stairs and went straight into my room.In my safe haven, I placed my palm against my fast beating heart, trying to calm it down.I was going to risk it all back there? For Dylan?"What’s wrong with me?" I mumbled, the room was spinning and my head was hurting. Dylan doesn’t remember what happened that night. He just wants to have sex with me and brag about it to his friends and I can’t have him affect me or break his way into my heart. I laid on my bed, closing my eyes, forcing myself to go to sleep.****The next morning, The sun rays shone brightly, I rubbed my eyelids, yawning a little tired from the events of the previous day.I assume everyone let me sleep since I didn't receive a call from last night till now. I stayed in my room and didn't bother going downstairs for dinner making me extra hungry.Mrs. Emerton said to leave my clothes in a laundry basket for the washing machine, so all I had to do was get ready for school and have Dylan drop me off.I didn’t think I’d want to be holding onto his abs everyday for weeks or months or how long it takes to get a new house. I figured I would walk or save up and get a car or maybe his dad could drop me off if it isn’t too much trouble. I went through the clothes they got me picking a white shirt and a blue jeans, I went with snickers to match the whole week day look. I wasn’t able to get any home work done. I just hoped the teachers wouldn’t mind. I hung my bag on my shoulder and walked out of the room, extremely hungry. I walked downstairs slowly. They were all eating pancakes including Dylan, I brushed past him and his eyes stayed on my back until I took a seat across him. I felt him trail me up till I sat down, of course I didn't dare look across and meet his waiting gaze. That's what he wants. To make me crumble under him, prove he's the alpha male. He just loves messing with people. Messing with me. No more. "Good Morning everyone."I say quietly taking my breakfast. So far, so good. I assume not if Dylan has something to say about it."Morning dear, hope you slept well?"His mom asked, I nodded in response, eating in silence.After a few pancakes, I got up to walk to school. I needed to leave early if I wanted to get there before first period."I am off to school." I said, they both gave me weird looks before his dad spoke up."Dylan can drop you off dear, you can’t walk to school.""Of course I can." I replied with a playful chuckle but they didn’t see convinced."Dylan, what did you say to her?"His dad asks after my weird laugh. Shit. He's clearly suspicious or he knows how poorly his son can treat women, maybe a bit of both."Nothing. Dylan didn't do anything, I just want to walk, it seems funny."From the looks on their faces, I could tell they didn't believe me. At all."I understand you feel the need to be alone dear, but Dylan can drop you off and if he tries anything you can tell us and I'll personally kill him."His mom says with a sweet smile."Alright." I give in running out of excuses. If I pushed it any further, I'll be the topic of discussion. I'd just keep quiet and avoid small talks with him, ride to school and nothing else."Take care dear." I waved them goodbye, exiting the house with Dylan behind me.He mounted on his bike, I followed and he drove me off to school.I tried as much as I could to avoid contact with him but it was either I hold him tight or I fall off the bike. I piked the first option and tried not to get memerized by his cologne or let the sweet scent cloud my judgement and decision concerning my next steps.Then, I noticed the school was in sight and he wasn't stopping like the previous day. He was getting closer to the red zone, any student could stroll pass and catch me on his bike. Did he forget?"Dylan what are you doing?"I ask as he drove on. We neared the premises and Dylan wawnt pulling over."Dylan, someone might see us together."I raised my voice but he seemed deaf or he didn't care? What happened to talks of his reputation and how the ladies will react ovxe we're caught together? What the fuck is he thinking?Just then, we arrived as the parking lot, I was holding onto him tight . He took off his helmet and all eyes were literally on us. I had just arrived at school with the bad boy, a position girls would die to be in, some might even kill. After this, that last word might be my fate. I dare look around and the girls are glaring as the guys checked me out probably thinking I was new catch, wondering what Dylan saw in me then debating on taking me next since his girls were usually the best, their words not mine.From the corner of my eyes, I sighted Kyle. My heart ripped in shreds.He stood at the corner in the hallway, he looked directly at Dylan then back at me, pressed his lips into a thin line, realization flashed in his eyes, his hurt eyes. Then, he shook his head sadly, lowered it, turned around then walked away without a single word. I got off the bike, glared at Dylan and ran inside to try and save my relationship. Even I won't forget myself in a situation such as this. Why does Dylan keep searching for ways to ruin my life? Currently Kyle is upset and the entire school is unravelling. This will not end well for any of us.******CAMILLA**In the midst of everything, I thought quickly and acted fast. The first thing I did was check the situation. Dylan had the narrative since everyone looked up at him and the lies he had to tell.I got off the bike immediately, brushing past the students who had just gathered to watch the scene playing out in front of them. They enjoyed it more than dance parties or prom nights, especially on issues concerning the school nerds and the players. Take a dynamic duo, not to mention the power couple of the Century.If only I gave two shits about them, their thoughts, or words. I didn't.I had bigger fish to fry, more important things on my mind. I was strictly on the verge of losing him.I ran towards Kyle, who was running in the opposite direction, trying to get as far away from me as humanly possible. For good reasons, his girlfriend now lives with a guy who has a record of screwing half the girls in school. He saw her butt naked, and the day after she arrived clinging to him on
**CAMILLA**It was my way of gaining a sense of control if any still existed. Get a grip on my anger or quench it at least. Either way, I'm going to kill him with my bare hands, I'll squeeze that stupid neck of his till it snaps then breaks. I'll choke him until he gasps for air, he won't be able to breathe and even then I won't feel pity nor stop for a damn thing. He'll pay for doing this. I'll multiply the pain I'm in ten folds before serving it on his plate.I didn't do anything. Not to him at least. Sure I wrong a whole bunch of other people, just not him. Why does he intend on ruining my life?Fuck. I'm so mad. Enough talk, it's time for action. He's dead. Dylan is dead.I knew where he was. The fucking soccer pitch. That's where I'm headed to. I don't give two shits who overhears or how they take the news. Hell the entire school can figure out we live together, I don't care. He made those rules then broke them, it's no bother if I do so myse
**CAMILLA**It'll be the words of a liar if I say this current position wasn't getting me aroused, or I didn't like how we were in the moment.I did like it. A lot. Not only was this exceptionally hot, but this was also the first time anyone has ever made me feel wanted. I'm spouting rubbish in some way, but I don't see any way to properly describe it aside from these words.Sure as hell I was caught up in my thoughts and not what was happening, but I could tell his eyes were fixated on mine, I tried to look away but I just couldn’t. It was like my eyes had a mind of their own and they ended up moving back to meet his, I was getting lost in them until I heard whistles. First just one and then it was almost as if they competed for who could whistle the loudest.I turned back to see most of the guys from the soccer team staring at us, they were the ones whistling, if that wasn't enough, being caught by more than a dozen boys pinned to the
**CAMILLA**In some way, I fought to find the hidden meanings behind those words. It was Dylan, it couldn't have been that plain, there's something tucked away, I just can't see it yet.He wants me to accompany him to this event. That almost makes it seem like...Was Dylan Emerton asking me out on a date or something? That can’t be possible. I'm in over my head, but then again bringing someone to an event signifies asking the person out on a date, he also said it'll be less boring if I'm around.Could I be overthinking it?There's the other option. He's said this before and I believe him at this point.Seeing as his parents are trying to make me feel comfortable and at ease, they might have put him up to this, Dylan can't say no to them. Apart from the "parent" title, they can cut him off from everything he needs to keep up the bad boy lifestyle, his credit cards will be shut down, no clothes, no flaunting money around, and no gi
**CAMILLA**I held on loosely, if I grabbed him even an inch tighter I would remember leaning into him on his bare abs, he took a hard turn. On impulse, I fell into his chest and those memories came flooding.Luckily, the house was right in front of us.He stopped his bike and I jumped down like the seats were on fire. They were in some way.I walked briskly towards the door eager to get in, take a warm shower and hopefully forget all these crazy memories. I've been suppressing them so why are they resurfacing? Why now?My hands were on the doorknob when Dylan pulled them away, My formerly cold hands became hot as warmth spread through them where he touched me. I turned to face him and my eyes met with his.This isn't good. Those eyes were my weakness. If I hung on, I'd get flooded with more memories. That's exactly what happened. As I stared, it was that night all over again.Our glass clinging against the other, his eyes fixed on mine as we gulped
**CAMILLA**I can't turn back on those words, I'll just find a way, struggle then through the day.After heading in, our paths didn't cross all through the day. We were the only ones in the house, his parents had a company to run.I locked the door in case he was getting stupid ideas. I checked my phone, clutched it to my chest slightly irritated and annoyed. Kyle hadn't texted or called, if I didn't better, I'd think maybe he liked the seperation or wasn't at all bothered by the fact that we weren't together anymore.He didn't call it quits or say it to my face, it was like spacing, not a break up, I turn my back and he's talking to some bitch. How could I possibly relate to that?I'm angry, with good reasons. I expect him to call or text, but there's nothing.I tossed the cell aside, laying down with my palms underneath my head. This isn't good at all. ****Hours later, my body wakes up on its own accord. If
**CAMILLA**I was in her room, it didn't look like the one she shared with her husband, more like the type you kept to yourself for makeup, artificial hair and other girly stuff.She has an entire wardrobe filled with dresses.I exhaled."I've waited for this day for a long time, I only wanted a daughter, Emerton wanted a son, he won in the end since I got Dylan instead. I tried after that, but it was hard to get him, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for anything that might happen, and Dylan as I'm sure you've noticed is quite a handful, I'm his mother but he's his own boss, I can't recall the last time he listened to me which is why I'm excited you're here."I nodded to myself even though her back was faced to me. She searched her closet while talking and once again her last words had me thinking. Will my presence changed a thing? "Truthfully, I didn't think he'll take my advice about tonight, I didn't think he'll come at all.
**CAMILLA**I glanced at Dylan, more like fixed my gaze on him like the answers to my question would automatically pop up in my head. I don't want to believe my suspicions are right, but it's too much of a coincidence to ignore.If it's true, then everything else I've come to know tonight will just be a huge waste, it wouldn't matter if it's just been buttering me up for this big finale. I turned away after he didn't notice neither did I get any vibes to prove my theory wrong or right.In other news, Kyle and the girl finally noticed our presence. She narrowed her gaze on me, recognition flashed in her eyes, she blinked then whispered soemthing to him.He turned and his eyes went from me to the person standing beside me. To Dylan.I gulped hard as his face hardened. Kyle wasn't an angry person, it's one of the things I did genuinely like about him, but he does get a little jealous then protective, but never an angry pe

CAMILLA RENEE LINCOLN MEMORIAL. It's three pm and there's hardly anyone around. I can't see Harper or Dylan. I'm inside the memorial. My phone began ringing again. "You listened. Now keep walking. You'll get your reward soon." "What do you want?" "You. Forever." He answers in the same computerized voice. Me? I thought his obsession was Dylan. After seven years, he's still psychotic. "W-What are you talking about? Why won't you leave me the fuck alone?" I step forward, checking around. "I can't, even if I tried," I furrow my brows. "Where is Dylan?" "Closer." I shiver "Why did you take him? What do you want?" "I told you, Darlin, you and I. Forever." I search the entire place. It's no longer scanty. It's empty now. Completely empty. I walk out and try trailing the surrounding. Even security has vanished. Wait, a minute. Dylan calls me Darlin. Did Harper take that up now? Has he gotten even more crazy? "Have you figured it out yet?" "Dylan." I whisper. "Darlin."
CAMILLA RENÉEEIGHT YEARS LATER.WILLIAMS MEDICAL CENTER, WASHINGTON."Camilla? Are you done with that patient?"Athena peaked her head in, checking the room to be certain. I nodded my head, stifling a laugh. She strode in, pulled a chair and chuckled while seating."How long did he stay this time?""Two hours. Two pure hours of torture. Listening to him ramble about a woman who's probably shaking her ass on a yacht with another man. It's sad. Funny, but truly sad."Athena poured two glasses of wine for each of us."You deserved it."I bobbed my head in agreement. Sighing, she took a seat across as though she were my patient. I have no clue why his wife suddenly picked her bags and flew half way across the country leaving him devastated. Poor man still loves her, he'll heal. Hopefully.Until then, it's my duty to sit and listen. And he's like a two out of my tough patients. There are some who haven't gotten over dead daughters. Others who are depressed. God I love my job. It's like a
CLAIRE MITCHELL Sixteen days. So much has happened in over two weeks. So much has changed. Before I'd be begged to shut up, now everyone keeps gawking and idling for a word or two out of me.My parents flew out of Cal-U yesterday. They did their best, but I wasn't ready yet. Dylan's mother got close though. All she did was hug me and I sobbed.Yesterday I saw him. Camilla's ex. He knew about everything, so I choose to give the doctor's words a chance and then open up about this entire shit.So here I am, sitting across from him, peaking at his notepad while he scribbles my first and last name."If I gave you a choice between your blood and the one person you loved, who would you pick?"He gawks in shock. Half expecting me to keep quiet throughout. "Is that why you're withdrawn? Because of what Harper did to Dylan?"I chuckle."No. Of course now. I just don't see a reason to talk much unlike before. I'm curious, so I'm asking.""No. You're trying to convince yourself that you're nobod
MIRANDA COSGROVESATURDAY.“The audacity of you to come here! You animal!”I shriek, knocking my nose, which forces me to step back. “Why does everyone keep hitting me today?”Rocking my head, I disregard the comment he made and what he might mean. He deserves all the punches in the world. “Get the fuck out of my dorm. You better not try to speak with Camilla. Not after what happened. I refuse to let you get close to her.”Shoving a finger in his face, I propped my shoulders to seem taller and more intimidating.“Where is Camilla? Dylan came to my place screaming about how I tried to get her into the dorm. I came back here to make sure she was okay. He got a call and ran off. Have you seen her?”My bag drops to the floor and I panic.“What? He hasn’t found her? He hung up, and I thought, maybe...”I lower my knees and retrieve my cell, dialling Dylan’s number first. Straight to voice mail. I did the same to Camilla. Voice mail.What the hell is happening?“What did you do? What did y
DYLAN EMERTONSATURDAY.The shot landed beside Camilla's leg, making a dent in the wood. I saw my entire life through my eyes, and Camilla was the only thing I could see.I almost lost her. Harper would've shot Camilla if I hadn't howled. The bullet was inches away from hitting her."I do not have all day D. I would've opted for initials, but they both have Cs."His goons all laughed as he waved the gun in the air. I stomped forward, lifting my chin."You almost hurt her. I would have killed you!""Aww D, we're brothers, remember?"He clicked his tongue, then lifted the gun again."Enough stalling. Choose."I eyed both of them. My family. My whole life. I love them both. I may not love them. I'd be a fool to deceive my brain by saying I loved both of them at the same level. Camilla means more. Camilla will always mean more. But that does not justify killing my cousin. I can't live with that. I'm done thinking about just my needs.She has friends. Parents. May have a boyfriend who also
DYLAN EMERTONSATURDAY"You had her for two days, give or take! You couldn't allow me to spend a day with her!"I check the ID. it's unknown, but I recognize Miranda's voice. I'd figure out how she got my number later. "What are you talking about?" The more obvious question."Well, Camilla texted, "I had to run." I assume she's with you?"My brows knit together. "She isn't here."Standing up from the bed, I toss a T-shirt on, alarmed."How long was that text?""About three hours ago, I had to watch the movie. Now I can't reach her, and I called you to rant. You better not be fucking again!""Miranda slow down. I haven't seen Camilla since this morning.""Huh? But she texted me that...""Maybe she's at the dorm?""No. I called the landline there. No one answered."My heart skipped a pace."Dylan?""Wait a minute, Camilla never texts in full with me. Much less use words like "Run" Why am I just noticing this?"My heart jumped at another one."I think something happened." No shit. "Whe
CAMILLA RENÉEFRIDAY."You scent, It's better than I ever imagined."Dylan grunts fill the entire room as he kisses me up to my thighs, snugging his nose over my skin and then pressing his mouth on my inner skin.I moan, giving little regard to how loud I must sound, or who might be attracted to what we were doing.I'm clad in my panties only, which soon meet their fate on the floor. Dylan steps away, holding my gaze as he makes quick words of his shirt.Kneading my legs, I crawl to the edge of the bed, attempting to reach his belt buckle.He passes me a knowing look, chuckles, and then tosses his head back, allowing me room to his body.I peel the pants off his skin, reaching for the waistband of his boxer briefs.His hands meet mine and he halts that movement."Not yet."He grumbles, concealing his head in the corner of my neck."Lay back."His gentle commands ring in my ears. Obeying, I straighten my legs and return my back to the bed, all without breaking his gaze.Smirking, he be
CAMILLA RENÉEFRIDAY."How fucked up do you reckon the outside world is now?" Dylan dissembles the subject for a few seconds."We've been in isolation for twelve hours give or take? I'd like roughly two per cent more."Simultaneously, we break into laughter."What do you expect to do after graduation? P. I or you're going to work for a firm?""Well Darlin, I like my space, so I don't think I'll be under any company. I'll freelance." A delicate smile jerks my lips."Don't you think it'll be stressful? Having all those limited resources?""I'm very resourceful."He soothes me, pressing several kisses on the side of my head."And you? What are you going to do?""Hospitals. I want to work in a hospital. I'll be able to reach and help more people that way.""But that's a long time from now, we still have three-plus years to go. A lot could occur""You'd expect to change career paths?"He taunts. I shrug both shoulders."No, I'm just striving to keep an open mind. I infer my house got destro
