**CAMILLA RENÉE**

TUESDAY EVENING.

ST JOHN'S HOSPITAL.

They all crowded him, his teammates that is peering into his eyes with several questions and with Paula laying her filthy hands over his skin, it was making my blood boil.

The room was over crowded anyway.

I slipped away through the same corner, exiting the room with a final gaze at Dylan who might I add barely noticed anything.

****

Being self aware of Dylan's condition, my heart was no long hitting against its cage, the room wasn't spinning anymore so I felt much better.

I glanced at the clock hung over in the receiption, it's way over closing hour and my books I'd need were back in school.

Since Dylan is in good condition, I'd just take a cab back there. Should still have change in my back pockets.

I dug into it retriving a few notes which should be more than enough to get me there.

Before that, I got to the cafeteria to get a

    CAMILLA RENÉEKINGSTON HIGH.WEDNESDAY MORNING.I back away slowly, slinking towards the top of the stairs and their voices slowly fade away.They know. Soon they'll ask the dredged questions. Queries I won't be able to answer. Knowing my parents, they'll get the authorities to investigate more, they won't pull back since the shock card will be far overdue. They'll question me as their lives depended on it.I'll be questioned and purged until the truth comes to light.At that point, I'm fucked. I reach into my hair and pull harshly at the stands. What a way to kick-start my morning.****I contemplated tossing all my clothes off, faking an illness to avoid classes. I decide against it for one reason; if I'm going to get screwed ultimately, I'll figure out a way to spin it.I have to. Throughout the drive, they both acted conspicuously yet made no mention of the fire.I guess it hasn't been conc

    CAMILLA RENÉEST JOHN'S HOSPITAL. WEDNESDAY.He tugs at the hem of my shirt, I took the cue, lifting my weight off the floor and on the bed, my legs placed on each side of the bed, my centre finding its resting place right above his member.I swear I heard a groan.My face flushed bright red sensing his hands creep lower, down to the base of my ass, not only was I self-conscious, it's not like Paula's or the girls he's been with, but I haven't been touched. *Not like this.*His hands were large enough to wrap around each cheek, I was expecting a squeeze or something.He didn't. They rested there without a movement. *Maybe they're too small.*Practically clueless, I struggled to maintain his pace, tilting my head so he could brush his tongue against my lip before shoving it back into my mouth.My idle hands were shivering, I could get them in his hair or stroke his cheeks.I've made out with Ky

    **CAMILLA RENÉE**KINGSTON HIGH.It's fall so the weather's only going to get colder. With the arson case laying down, for now, I got up slightly better than the previous day.The only thing weighing me down was Dylan. Our conversation early this morning.Ugh.After getting dressed, I threw my legs down the stairs, turning my head through the entire living room to catch a glimpse of everyone at the same time.They were all seated at the dining table.My parents. Dylan's. Blake of course. Then weird me strutting towards them.Hopefully, Dylan changed his mind about playing. I "Good morning,"I murmured to their hearing, pulling a seat for myself.They acknowledged in their way and we ate in silence. Blake didn't speak a word other than nodding his head. I heard one stair creak, my head snapping in that direction.Dylan was strolling down the stair slowly, he had a he

    CAMILLA RENÉERICHMOND HIGH.THURSDAY AFTERNOON.Dylan stormed off before I could stop him, I trailed behind with my head lowered, my eyes brimming with additional tears.Back into the school, both teams had huddled. For the vote I'm certain. Dylan strumbled into the locker room while I stayed back to watch.I swivelled my head away as the results were announced. His actions had their consequences. Typically blood for blood.It's as though I was suspended from the game, my throat feels dry, my heart is ripped apart, I can't explain why this hurts. It just does.Then I saw him. Brandon and I peered at each other for barely ten seconds before I ducked my head away. He was shirtless and grinning, two girls on each of his sides, his hands wrapped around their waist, he whispered something to them causing their faces to turn red.He won.Just then, I spotted Dylan getting out of the locker room. He switched his shirt this tim

When this does happen, it wouldn't be because I need a stress reliever."I swallowed hard.*When?*"Yes Camilla, when."He retorted, tilting my head to meet his gaze. His eyes got brighter, the smirk had reinstated thank the heavens. I did say it aloud.*But he said when! That means...* Shit. I'm not going to think about what it means."At least you're calm now."I swap topics easily, twitching to get off his laps and move away.Instead, he whirls his arms around my waist, holding me in place.I swallow harder. Slowly, I lift my head, contesting his look while stretching forward to gently caress his cheeks.He presses his lids against each other, tugging my waist towards his body, closing the little gap between both of us."I'm sorry about the way I acted for most of the day.

In our way, Dylan and I are just two screwed up teenagers but you know what? Fuck that too.We have a record together and somehow, I can't seem to get rid of him even if I tried, I'm tired of avoiding the inevitable.Fuck everything. At this instant, it's just his lips on mine, any and every other thing is irrelevant and not worth it.A little too soon, He pulls away panting and huffing for breath. He just won an entire match.

Camilla Renee, resolve my question."He dipped his brows, gazing intently."I don't know how long I'll be at your house, I'm not sure what this is and I can't make any judgments until I'm 100% sure. Let's take things as they are. See where it leads us too."He lowered his brows, nodding carefully, but the gape of disappointment rested within those lids.I doubt anyone will turn down an offer from Dylan Emerton which is exactly why I need to think hard before spouting anything.Regardless, he did just say he liked me. That's what I deduce from the entire thing.The player confessed he likes me.*Shock waves.*"Camilla,"He jerked my hand, clasping me back to that reality

"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.

    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

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.
