"Won't you have something to drink?" I heard him say to me. "I'm fine" I responded immediately, not wanting to hear him say one more word. He made me so uncomfortable, not gonna lie. For minutes, we had been sitting here together, all alone. Oh, how I wish I didn't agree to come. He puffed smoke my way, causing me to cough, while I turned to glare at him. "Not funny" I stated. "Thought you were shying away from looking into my eyes" He chuckled. "Now, why would I be shy?" I asked him. "You tell me" He said. I shifted my gaze away, totally ignoring him. "Do I make you nervous?" He asked"No" I responded, with my gaze still away from him. "Then why can't you bring yourself to look my way?" "Well, there's nothing interesting happening there" I responded immediately. "You're tense, Nia" "Why don't you have a drink" He uttered, pushing his cup over to me. My eyes shifted from the cup, to his face. As if reading my thoughts, he spoke. "Don't worry, it's clean" He chuckled.
Third person POV"What on earth were you thinking?" Ashley snapped at her brother, staring him square in the eyes. He remained sat on his bed, going through his phone, ignoring the jabs she threw his way. "Cameron!" Ashley called again, pissed that he wasn't responding to her. "I did what I did, now drop it" Cameron uttered nonchalantly. "You want me drop it? Are you crazy?!""Why on earth would you break up with her for just no reason?" She asked. "Ashley, I've told you, whatever happens in my relationship is none of your business" He said."Of course it is! Nia's more than a friend to me" She snapped. "Since when did you bother about my relationships?" Cameron questioned "Just this one" She responded. He tore his gaze off her, taking it back to his phone. "I don't owe you an explanation as to why I did that. Not even to any one" He stated. "Were you cheating on her?" Ashley asked him. Cameron brought his gaze to her, reading through her expression. "If I was cheating, yo
Third person POV... Ashley Williams hurried into the room of Nia, expecting to see her staring back, asking the cause of the sudden storm in, instead she was met with an empty bed, and Arabella peering at her. "What's going on?" Arabella asked immediately, a bit startled at the sudden entrance. "Where's Nia?" Ashley questioned, looking around the room like she could spot her somewhere in the corners. Arabella remained silent, just watching Ashley as she paced around the room. "Why aren't you saying anything?" Ashley questioned. "Where is she? It's a matter of urgency!" She yelled. "For days now, Nia hasn't returned" Arabella began. "What?!" Ashley's eyes widened. "Returned from where?" She questioned. "I don't know" Arabella said immediately, her voice laced with a bit of sadness as she narrated all. "She told me one evening she was going to the park, and that was all" "I didn't see her after that. I tried calling her countless times, but it only went to her voicemail" "A
Few days back. Nia's POV...My legs burned with pain as I took a seat on the park bench watching the happy families which had gathered on this cold evening. I was currently at a park not too far from school, trying to ease myself and at least have a good breath of air, after days of just going to class, and back to the dorms. The same old boring routine. It wasn't fully dark yet, hence quite a number of people lingered around, some with their partners, others alone. A shadow suddenly passed by me, grabbing my attention at that moment, as I recognized who it was instantly. I stood to my feet, watching the direction which she took. Quietly, I followed behind. Going through bushes, moving to wherever she was going to. She finally came to a stop at a quiet corner which seemed to be deserted, grabbing a phone from her pockets and making a call. Why on earth would she be here? I thought to myself. Coming all the way here from the mansion could take hours. So what on earth could hav
Third person POV...Cameron had received a phone call from Ashley revealing everything to him and how for days now, Nia had been missing.He knew immediately who was responsible, but Kidnapping Nia wasn't what she told him. Grabbing a few of his things, and leaving USC to meet Ashley who was still over at Nia's college.Random thoughts filled his head on his way there. Those texts he had been receiving had a connection with all of this. Weeks passed, months came and he had been forced to do it. For her well being. Upon arrival at the College, he was told by Ashley that she had phoned the police, and they were now looking into it."Why the fuck would you do that?" He demanded in a raised voice. "So they could find Nia" Ashley responded in a 'duh' tone. "Crap!" Cameron uttered. "They specifically ordered me not to tell anyone, you included if you haven't figured out" His voice boomed. During all of the arguments, a phone began ringing, getting the room to a sudden silence. Camero
Third person POV..."Nia!" Cameron called, as the elevator of the abandoned 'crescent' building stopped on the last floor, allowing him move to the exit which led to the rooftop. Arabella and Ashley were right behind him, following his lead. His heart stopped for just a fleeting second, seeing the girl his heart raced for, laid down, arms tied with her eyes blindfolded. She appeared in a terrible state, her hair messed up in different directions, and no shoes to bear on her feet. Hurrying over to her, he tore the blindfold off her eyes while Ashley untied her hands, patting and consoling her with sweet words. "Nia" Cameron breathed, while she crashed into his arms, sobbing till she had exhausted herself and could, no more. "I'm sorry" Cameron whispered softly, holding her warmly in his arms. "I truly am" He uttered once more. He comforted her in his hold, his heart burning with pain, right before she passed out.*** The whispering of people around me, and the beeping of a he
The sound of my doorbell ringing, dragged me out of bed, hurrying down to check who it was. I was back from school for just a short while, and had since been enjoying being back home. Returning to mom's mouth-pleasing breakfast, made me feel the warmth of motherly love, once again. She cared for me even though I assured her I was no longer a kid. Ever since what happened, she kept a close eye on me, making sure I didn't get into any more trouble, and ensured I was safe.Yawning loudly while letting the door open, I gazed into the eyes of the human stood feet away. Seeing his face on a bright morning like this, felt like a gift from heaven to me.He took in a breath, gazing at me, while I just stared back, admiring how much better he looked, compared to the last time I saw him. That time when he had pain written all over his face. "Can we talk" He uttered. I remained silent, trying not to seem so welcoming to him, and finally after quite a while, making way for him to step in. S
Here I was, stood in the large Living room of the Williams', Cameron's arms around my waist while we stared at the new Mr and Mrs Williams, Jordan and Cara. A year had passed since all happened, and Cameron was almost out of college, making me so proud of him. Ashley flashed a smile my way, as she stood next to Mason, arms together while staring on at Jordan and Cara as they made an announcement."I first must thank you all, for always taking your time to gather around whenever I call for a meeting" Jordan began. He hesitated for a while staring into Cara's eyes and then he resumed speaking. "It is with much pleasure that I announce to you guys that Cara and I are expecting a baby" He said. The room fell silent, everyone seeming to process the news, and then the silence was immediately broken. "Oh my God!" I heard Mrs Williams squeal, hurrying over to embrace Cara. "How long gone are you?" She questioned with much excitement feeling her voice. "Four weeks" Cara uttered with a
