Camille:

If Lucia opened that door, I would be done for. I was naked in her brother’s closet. There was no other explanation for that other than the obvious. Plus I could tell that Daniel was mad at me. Even if his sister caught me in here, I would be getting no help from him.

“Lucia, wait,” he said, pulling her away from the closet right before she could open it.

“Wait a minute,” she said, staring at a spot on the bed. “Aren’t those Cam’s headphones?”

My eyes popped open. How could I have been dumb to leave them out there? Ugh. I was done for.

“Yeah, I asked her for them,” Daniel said, but it wasn’t a very convincing lie.

“And she gave them to you?” Lucia asked in a way that showed him she didn’t believe him at all.

“Why’s that so hard to believe? We’ve gotten pretty close recently. That’s why it’s strange that she talked about me leaving this morning. You can help me give them to her when she comes back,” he said offhandedly.

Now, that was a little more believ

    Camille: “…and I can’t always assume all the time or only do what I want to do. I don’t want to mess this up. You can just get what you want if you…” he paused. “You don’t even have to ‘ask’. Just go for it. I’m right here. It’s always me. I want to know you like this…you want this just as much as I do, because sometimes it feels like you don’t.” . I couldn’t believe my heart could beat anymore wildly than it had before, but when Daniel spoke- explained to me why he hadn’t jumped at the opportunity to do what I had really wanted him to do. The tears returned, but this time they weren’t born out of pain, fear or uncertainty like before. I wasn’t unsure of how he felt toward me anymore. Looking at his face deeply this time, I could see all the hidden emotions erupt this time. The vulnerability, the need he had for me to want this as much as he did but most especially, the lust he had managed to conceal somehow was now very evident, so clear I wondered how I had missed it before.

    Camille: My wide open mouth finally closed a few seconds after, breaking into a closed mouthed smile. What was I supposed to say to that? Daniel had just said he was obsessed with me, and unlike all the other times he had said anything remotely pleasant to me and I inwardly forced myself to roll my eyes so I would convince myself I didn’t believe them and that they didn’t get to me, this one sounded really genuine. Not to sound pessimistic or accepting of the barest minimum, technically, Daniel had no other reason left to be nice to me. I mean, if he had only been acting like a decent human being just to get me to sleep with him, we were way past that now, so that meant he was being nice simply because he wanted to be nice to me. “Ah,” Daniel gasped, bringing me back to the present. “What?” I muttered, looking around before setting my eyes on the tv. The most disgusting animal I had ever seen stared back at me. I had no idea we had been watching a nature documentary.

    Camille: “Will you stop this!” I asked, raising my voice. Daniel shot me a surprised look, having not expected my tone that sounded offended. He chuckled nervously. “Sorry, I was way out of my depth there,” he apologized. “This is about you. No need to make it all about me.” I went back to eating and he went back to watching me. I knew I hadn’t solved anything by snapping at him; I was sure he still blamed himself on the inside, but at least now he knew how I felt about it. Wow. That sounded so selfish. “I want to watch Tv. Wanna join me?” He asked, getting up. For some reason, hearing him say ‘wanna’ in his accent sounded so wrong. I chuckled. He paused. “You laughed,” he muttered, more to himself than me with a look of excited surprise on his face. “Why are you so surprised?” I asked. “You haven’t even cracked a smile since today and now you’re laughing because I want to watch TV?” He asked, his surprise turning into slight confusion. “Oh,” I sa

    Camille: “I’m going to see my parents,” I told Lucia this evening when she came to check up on me. Her eyes widened. “In the middle of the school year? But they’re all the way in Utah. Is this really the best time for you to make that kind of trip?” She had a point, but these were my parents. “I haven’t seen them in almost two years, Lucia. And I haven’t spoken to them in a while either. My mom wants me to come over. I can’t say no.” “But it’ll take like a whole week out of school.” “It doesn’t have to be a week. I could spend just a day or two there, starting from next weekend.” She wasn’t convinced. “But you’d have to fly. And it’s so expensive.” “You know my parents will pay for everything.” She gave me a look, and I knew what it meant immediately. I had an intense, almost ridiculous fear of flying. The reason I hadn’t traveled back to Utah in years was because I didn’t want to be airborne again, and traveling by bus was an even worse option. My first

    Camille: When I woke up with a splitting headache sometime later, I was more annoyed than relieved or confused. I had passed out three times in one month, something I had never experienced in my life before then. To make matters worse, the voices I had heard before the world went black were still the same arguing voices that welcomed me back to consciousness. “I told you we should take her to a freaking hospital!” Lucia snapped. It was as if at this point she couldn’t make a sentence addressed to her brother without it being filled with so much venom. “And I told you she has passed out like this in front of me before and I didn’t have to take her to a hospital,” Daniel quipped, his voice thankfully low. “When did that happen?” “A few weeks ago. When I had to spend the night with her,” he explained further. “She just had a panic attack because you wouldn’t just let her be.” “Me?!” Lucia asked. “She has never had a panic attack in three years of living with me, but somehow you sh

    Camille: My food got stuck in my throat when the Tv went off. That only meant one thing. Daniel had heard her comment and was pissed off, and he would probably say something awful to her about it. “I’m so sorry I just had to watch Tv in your almighty house!” He snapped, getting up. I swallowed. Lucia didn’t even look his way. “What else do I do so you won’t regret helping my wretched self with accommodation? I know my presence irritates you so much. Maybe I should just walk into my room and never come out again. Just stop existing. Maybe that will make your highness happy finally. Although I doubt there’s anything that can ever make you happy.” Lucia dropped her fork. “What did you just say?” She asked, finally facing him. He walked into the dining room, stood in front of her, crossed his arms and repeated his last sentence. Silence. The tension in the room was thick enough to cut ice. “And what do you of all people know about happiness?” She asked with a dry chuckl
