Arrested Feelings 15
When it came time to choose her college major, Camila already knew exactly what she wanted.Alfonso had wanted to offer his opinion, but every time he tried, he saw the distance in her eyes. She was so resistant to him now that she barely wanted to say more than a few words.In the end, he gave up.Maybe it was better this way. Whatever she chose, it was still her future.Even if the major didn’t lead to money or stability, it didn’t matter. He had more than enough to support her for the rest of her life if he had to.After submitting her college application, receiving her acceptance letter from UCLA, and confirming the start date, Camila finally allowed herself to breathe.The first part of her plan was complete. But before school started, there was still one more thing she needed to do.Asher hadn’t seen Camila in quite a while.Work had kept him busy, long shifts stacking into one another until he barely had time to think about anything outside the precinct. He had almost stopped w

When the first rays of morning sunlight slipped through the window, Camila was already out of bed.Because she had fallen so far behind, Miss Jessa, had quietly told her she could come by the house over the weekend for extra tutoring.Camila knew Miss Jessa felt sorry for her. And honestly, that was the one thing she wanted least.Pity felt awful. It made her feel as if the whole world had truly abandoned her.Sometimes, when she passed stray cats and dogs on the street, she felt a strange sense of kinship with them.Letting out a quiet sigh, she changed into jeans and a simple button-up shirt, packed her books, skipped breakfast, and headed out.She hadn’t expected to run into someone familiar this early. It was Saturday, so it definitely wasn’t a classmate.That only left one possibility.***Asher had stayed the night at his brother’s house.He was leaving early because he needed to go home, change into a fresh uniform, and head to work. His brother’s place didn’t have any spare cl

Asher sat in front of a computer at the Seattle precinct, typing up an electronic report.Across from him sat a nervous-looking man, his head lowered as he muttered through his confession.“I got greedy. I know I was wrong, Officer Flores. I swear I won’t do it again. Please let me off this time.” The man’s voice was close to tears. “I’ll never steal another e-bike again.”Asher lifted his eyes lazily and glanced at him.“Finished?”The man nodded miserably. “Y-yes.”“Sign.” Asher slid the printed statement across the desk.The man hurriedly signed it, still sniffling.By the time Asher finally stepped out of the office, it was already around eight that night.He buttoned the top of his loosened uniform shirt, narrowed his eyes at the quiet but warm early-summer Seattle night, lowered the brim of his cap, and started walking.On the way home, he found himself thinking about Camila.The girl had probably figured things out by now. If she hadn’t, with her personality, she would have fou

Camila had changed.Not only her father and stepmother noticed it, but her classmates and teachers at school saw it too.She stopped skipping classes. She had started studying again.Even though she still couldn’t fully keep up with the pace of senior-year review, what mattered most was that she was trying. Miss Jessa, her homeroom teacher, had seen the difference clearly. During a phone call with Elsa, she said that as long as Camila kept working hard, it was definitely not too late for her to turn things around.But when Elsa hung up, there was no happiness on her face. Only worry.Elmo had a slight fever that day and stayed home from school. When he saw the troubled look on his mother’s face, he leaned closer and asked softly, “Mom, what’s wrong? Who was on the phone? Why do you look so sad?”Elsa gently stroked his hair.“It’s nothing. Don’t think about it. Just rest and try to get your fever down.”Elmo looked at her in confusion. “Is my sister causing trouble for you again?”Els

His reason told him he should explain everything… Clear the police of blame, tell her the truth, even if she didn’t want to hear it. But his emotions told him otherwise.If being misunderstood meant she could hold on a little longer… Then maybe it was better to let her believe it.Reason and emotion pulled him in opposite directions.In the end, Asher chose silence.He reached into his wallet, pulled out all the cash he had, and pressed it into her hands.Then he turned and walked away.He didn’t look back.As for whether Camila would go back into that house tonight… That was her choice.After a while, Camila stood up. She wiped the tears from her face, still clutching the money in her hand. She looked in the direction Asher had gone, thinking he had already left without a word.But at the end of the street, he had stopped. He turned back. Even from a distance, she could see him looking at her.Then he spoke. “You think what you’re doing right now is revenge,” he said, his voice carry

Asher had gotten into the habit of walking Camila home.Tonight was no different.Once again, he stopped at the gate of her house, a two-story suburban villa tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Camila didn’t go inside right away. Instead, she stood there, staring up at the second floor, toward the window of her bedroom.The window had been sealed shut. Thick metal bars, security bars, had been installed across it, making escape impossible.It was almost absurd.‘What kind of parents used heavy-duty security bars not just to keep intruders out… but to keep their own daughter in?’Camila kept her gaze fixed on the window for a long moment bef
