Past ScottThe rumor spread through the entire school that my nerd brother, Samuel Martinez, was sleeping with Camille Davidson. When I saw Samuel and Camille kissing in the parking lot, my doubt was cleared. Arms around arms, their lips sucking one another. This sight angered me without knowing why. I didn’t want my brother to get hurt or end up with something I couldn’t bear. I once dreamed of holding Camille in my arms. I always dreamt of being close to her. I liked to listen to her voice. I liked her eyes. When she was angry, I liked it. What I disliked about her was her cruelty. She did what she liked. Her actions were always hurtful. After being injured, Maura was slowly recovering and would resume classes soon. I would be lying if I told you I wasn’t missing her. I missed her, but more than that, I missed Camille Davidson. There was an enormous change in her. Recently, she began behaving unexpectedly, becoming silent and cold. Whenever I looked into her eyes, I found a differ
PastScott“Coffee?” I offered it to Camille as she had been sitting in the waiting room for hours. Mrs. Davidson’s surgery was in progress, and it would take a couple of hours to be completed.“Thank you,” she whispered, grabbing a mug and bringing it to her lips. Her hands were shaking as she sipped the coffee. “I’m scared.”“Everything will be fine,” I told her as I sat next to her. “Scott...” she bit her lip before letting out a long sigh. “I appreciate you being here.” “Don’t thank me. I would have done the same if it were someone else.” “I apologize for everything I have done to you.” I scoffed. “I won’t forgive you unless you forgive me.” Her eyes were pulled away from the floor to look at me. It was obvious that she was exhausted and in pain. “I forgive you.” I leaped closer to her and touched her neck, which was smeared with my fingerprints. “If Samuel hadn’t separated me from you, I almost killed you.” “I almost killed you with the leather belt that day.” She cracked
Present Camille “How do you make a living?” Conan asked with a radiant smile on his face. “Uh... um...” I clutched the glass in my hand, feeling uncomfortable as he glanced at my cleavage before looking back at me. “Well, I am an asshole, but...” he smiled before taking off his jacket and putting it on me. “But not that asshole that makes women feel uncomfortable with my gaze. Of course, I want to bed you at some point, but only with your consent.” I raised my eyes at him as he gave me another playful wink. “Thank you,” I said while sipping my wine and looking at Scott, whose eyes were immediately drawn to us. His eyes were so sharp, I shivered when they fixed on Conan as if he was about to tear him in half. The sight of him amused me for some reason; it seemed as if he was feeling something he shouldn’t be feeling. Maura stood next to him, demanding his attention while he was keeping a watchful eye on us. “I didn’t get my answer. What do you do?” Conan drew my attention to him.
Past Camille I stood in the church watching people show fake sympathy for my family during the funeral of my mother. Some of them pulled me into a suffocating hug, patted me on the back, and whispered sweet words about my mother. “What a lovely heart she had,” said an old lady while wiping her tears. Nobody there could understand how I felt at that moment, not even my dad. The guilt was cutting me deep. I was torn between keeping alive or dying. My stomach was churning with remorse and pain. As memories of my mother flashed through my head, my hands clenched painfully. How could I get over this grief? When she needed me most, I should have been there for her.When she was taking her last breath, I should have been there for her. It was impossible for me to breathe, knowing my mother had left me forever. I felt numb all over. “Our condolences are with you, Mr. Davidson,” a brunette woman said to my father, placing her hand on his shoulder as she squeezed him. Dad didn’t pay att
PresentScott“What’s your fucking problem?” Archie barged into my office when he got the news about his production house. Swiveling my chair to see his pissed-off face, I split my lips into a smirk. I couldn’t explain why, but my hands were urging me to kill him right then and there. The first reason is when he asked Camille Davidson to be his girlfriend, while the second is when Conan set his eyes on her. “Why the fuck did you stop the production of my three movies?” The guards rushed inside before grabbing Archie and dragging him away from my office. “I’m sorry, sir.” I nodded with a smirk and motioned to them to take him out of my office. “Scott, stop them!” He yelled while trying to get rid of them. “Scott, you have my sister. Stop drooling over Camille and vent your rage on me. You’ll regret doing this. I know what you’re mad about. I know how you’ve been feeling yesterday. I know why. Come on Scott, you’re no teen boy.” After he had finished speaking, I jumped to my feet and
Past CamilleOver a month had passed since my mother died, but I still felt as if she was with me. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't erase her memories. She taught me how to deal with life's challenges. She believed that life would be boring without difficulties. Maybe that's why her life was filled with hardships and problems. From the day I insulted Samuel among the students, Scott stopped talking to me. Despite my desire to tell him the truth and reveal the true face of his innocent brother, I could not do so. This is because he would never trust me. There was nothing I could do to defeat Samuel. I would have to gather information before confronting Scott. "Are you okay?" Rika asked as I covered my mouth with a hand when a wave of nausea swept over me. "I don't know, I've been feeling tired for weeks," I replied and looked at Mrs. Micah, who was teaching us algebra."I guess you need some rest," Rika said, her eyes flickering with concern. "I cannot since I want to score
PresentCamille “Are you sure you don’t want to do it?” Conan asked a sixth time as he slammed the newspaper on the kitchen counter. “Well, you’re gorgeous, Cami. I’m the director of this movie, so you can play the lead role. You have a better chance of earning a good reputation and getting rid of Maura. I don’t like seeing you working under her.”“I think you should leave since Maura and her friends could show up anytime,” I said as I rushed to the microwave. He scoffed while leaning against the counter and crossing his arms over his chest. “So you think I’m afraid of that homewrecker?” “No, you’re not, but I’m afraid.” I snapped while taking the meat out of the microwave and putting it on the counter. Maura had ordered me to prepare dinner for her friends as she was planning to invite them for a celebration on the occasion of her another successful movie. “Will Scott also be attending the dinner party?” As soon as I heard his name after two weeks, my heart started thudding. I ha
PastCamille As time passed, my morning sickness worsened. My tummy swallowed a bit as I had completed twelve weeks of my pregnancy. The roundness of my tummy surprised me when I raised my t-shirt. It wasn’t just my stomach that grew, but also my breasts. My father and I still hadn’t spoken about my pregnancy, but I planned on telling him shortly. Still, he could not stomach his wife’s death as he was drowning in grief deeper and deeper. All of his work and meetings were now handled by me, as he was drunk most of the time. “Cami...,” Natalie huffed as she knocked on the bathroom door. “Is it you?”“Yes.” I pushed down my shirt and unlocked the door. “What happened?” I asked. “Can you please help me with my project?” “Yeah, sure.” “Thank you.” She chirped out before wrapping her arms around me in a tight hug. I smiled with joy, feeling better. A few weeks ago, Natalie’s rudeness vanished as she started behaving politely. Opening my laptop, I studied her project before we began
