*Alice POV*

I harshly rub my eyes making sure I wasn't dreaming. And when I open them again, I see him again. This isn't a dream, Cameron is actually standing in front of me right now.

The bags under his eyes are preeminent, and show his lack of sleep. His face is bruised up, and his knuckles are still covered in cuts and dried blood. He's still in last nights clothes, and his hair isn't done, it's down and in a way it makes him look younger.

I can't get myself to speak, and I know exactly what this looks like. Jack and I, in the same bed... Before I can make myself speak he storms out of Jack's room, furiously. I instantly jump up and chase after him. My insides are yelling me not to, but I ignore them and storm out of Jack's room.

I run downstairs, taking in the disgusting image of the destroyed house. The aftermath of the party last night is terrifying. Red cups fill the living room, along with trash and there are people sleeping on the floor and couches. I spot a girl sleeping in her braw, and underwear, and I cringe. There is an unbearable smell filling the house; it's a mixture of vomit and vodka. It's not appealing at all.

I finally snap back into reality, when Cameron knocks over a glass lamp, making the glass shader all across the floor. I gasp as I see him taking another lamp in his hand before throwing it against the wall.

"Fuck!" He yells frustratedly, as he knocks over everything in the table.

"Stop!" I yell, hoping he would stop breaking everything he sees. To my surprise he does stop, he glares at me before he storms out of the living room. I watch as a few people wake up due to the loud noises, and they stare at me as if I had two heads but I ignore them all.

I run after Cameron, but he's way too fast for me. He's storming out of the house, pushing and moving everything that stands in his way.

"Cameron stop!" I whisper yell, running after him.

This feels so strange, it's usually me the one running from him, not after him.

"Cameron stop!" I say this time louder.

I push my feet to move faster as I run toward the living room. I don't know how but just before he reaches the exit door, I'm able to catch up.

I stand in front of the door, looking up at him. His eyes hold an intimidating look, and an unwanted gasp escapes my lips. But I try to stand my ground, not moving away from the door.

"Move!" He demands through his teeth.

"No," I say swallowing hard. My heart is palpitating out of my chest and I can barely breath.
His powerful presence usually intimidates me, but right now, is different. His nostril are flaring, and his chest is moving up and down rapidly. He's furious and I've never seen him like this, not towards me.

"Fucking move!" He repeats himself this time angrier.

"No, not until you tell me what you're doing here." I gulp, and my voice betrays me by coming out soft and scared.

"None of your business." He scoffs, looking away from me.

"Yes it is my business, because you were watching me sleep-"
