EMERTON'S MANSION
SATURDAY.
"Camilla..."
"Y-Yeah."
I scoffed, a peel of laughter slipping out through my spread lips.
"Explain because I've never been more confused in my entire life."
Hoisting one hand, I urged him to settle, giving myself a moment or two to calm down as well.
"My parents weren't always like this. I was an only child and at some point, I was loved heartily. Then they began taking trips every month, leaving me with a nanny or most times forgetting to get one and I was fed up. Two years ago I went to that party because I wanted to show them I'm rebellious."
I chortle at my words.
"We all know how that turned out. As though my list of bad choices wasn't enough, I added one more. That night they were out to God knows were, I got

I hopped off the bed, landing on one foot, nearly missing the second foot. Quickly, I held the beddings, stabling myself. He's outside.Wiping both cheeks, I rushed towards the door, exhaled then unlocked it."Hey..."He called softly. My lips were quivering, struggling to keep all my emotions at bay."Are you okay...""N-No."I choked on my tears."Cam..."Practically rushing into his arms, I encircled my arms around his torso, relaxing my head over his chest "You'll be fine."He cooed, straightening my tangled strands. It didn't feel like I would."My entire world is falling apart."

CAMILLA RENÉESATURDAY.EMERTON'S MANSION.His possessive side is out again, encompassing me between his bed while seating in front of me.My hands knitted together, buckling his sheets between my hands.Somehow we got to the bed and let's just say the making out has gotten a little more intense I'm attaining more enthusiasm these days by lifting his shirt and tossing it off myself.Even more, I got my hands off his sheets and circled them around his neck, heaving my waist forward so there wasn't any gap left.Now I wish he'll make the next move and do something. Anything.Gasping lowly, I pulled away sucking at my bottom lip."D-Dylan..."I jerked."Yeah, I know."*He doesn't*Laying beside me, he took my hand and made me rest on his chest which is the exact opposite of what I wanted. I'll just have to settle for this I guess. Striving to calm my breathing, I whirl and tilt my

**CAMILLA RENÉE** SUNDAY. EMERTON'S RESIDENCE. I moved backwards, maybe I'll find solace in the kitchen, I did however maintain a vigilant gaze at the officer. I've seen how they treat criminals? *Was I a criminal?* Possibly. Mr Emerton had appeared from behind, his gaze motioning from the officers to mine. My parents can't be far back. The other two looked like they preferred to shove me in prison, while the man from the night of the fire kept a straight face, but I could see a little pity at the back of his eyes. Just then, my mother and father strolled in. Perfect. My impending doom has appeared. "Officers. Good afternoon." Mom greets them cautiously offering each of them a smile. She sent me a weird look and so did dad. They don't

DYLAN EMERTON-ONE HOUR EARLIER.Camilla's parents deterred me upon sighting, I was just about to enter her room, but from their faces, they had done something crazy already."I wouldn't be astounded to find out you had a hand in my daughter's mishaps.""Renée!"Her mother cautioned, clutching his hand.I scoffed, daring to press my lips in a small line. The nerve of him."Your daughter's mishaps? Of course, parents blame their children for the manifestations of their mistakes. You're no different."I spat, scowling severely."Do not test me, boy. Your father and I might be friends..""Yes. Best friends. Of course. You're cut from the same cloth of being terrible parents."I countered. Instead of smacking me for my outrage, his demeanour changed instantly. My words must have struck deep."If Camilla burned the house down, it was only a ripple effect of the fact that you failed

**DYLAN EMERTON** SUNDAY. I blinked back the memories of this afternoon, hissing as the papers over the desk seem to get blurry. I've been starting for a while now. "Dylan..." Her faint whisper, echoes in the back of my head. A reminder of what they had done to her. Her resolve to break as she's been taken away. One hour. It's been an hour since I watched them take her away Lawyers. That's the first thing they reckon. I'm here peering at my computer screen while studying cases of arson. You'd think she'll get off the hook as a minor. Not certainly. They're implicating her in burning the house down on purpose. The simple key to getting her back is proving the truth. It was a horrible accident. Nothing more. My parents have gone to see her. I bit back m

CAMILLA RENÉEMONDAY.The lankiest fifteen of my life did not go by promptly. I was advised not to have any physical contact with anyone, just me and my lawyer.Dylan and my parents had moved two rolls backwards.He had high prospects of us winning the case. He says barely anything was done by him, Dylan did research and he got the toxic report, but it was all Dylan's idea.They operated incredibly fast I'd admit. The call logs are evidence.*Call logs.*I inclined my head to face him, He's already staring, straight face, pressed lips, no evident emotions. He's been like this throughout.I looked away and sighed.I'm nervous as hell. My fingers have been laced for God knows how long, the room is fully air-conditioned yet I'm hot on the outside.It would've been nice to get a hug from mom or dad or just hold Dylan.Regardless of how this ends, I'm thankful for everything they've done.

CAMILLA RENÉETUESDAY.Today starts averagely. Boring is another way to put it.I forfeited yesterday entirely, the aftermath of winning the trophy, maybe that's not such a bad thing after all.I didn't see the entire Kingston High gush over Nate. It's pretty much a win-win.That aside, I slept and arose on an actual bed, it didn't mean jail in a correctional facility serving God knows how many long years.I get to go back to school and live the life of a normal teenager. Everything is only possible because of him. And we aren't even on speaking terms.*I think.* The message from last night remained on seen in the morning. Not even a fucking emoji.

CAMILLA RENÉETUESDAY.My parents were home by the time he pulled over in the driveway, or they abandoned their car and stepped out.Maybe not. The bonnet of the car was creaked open with boxes in it.What's going on?Are they packing? Correction, are we packing?"Finally, you're home."Mom clamoured, halting my mini-breakdown, she's happy with a full-on smile, gripping this box in her hand. Again, what's new? Quickly, I reached for the cartoon and peek inside. It's filled with clothes. That's confirmation.We are packing. That's too soon. My face curves into a frown. I overlooked Dylan, hands shoved away and propelling his way towards us."We're leaving tomorrow darling, your dad and I are taking a few things over now, we also want to make sure everything's in places such as the future and the utensils, we might sleepover even but we don't want to stress you, so we'll just move your things and a

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.

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
