She's So Particular (Complete)

Brave Or Stupid?

"I can't decide if you are incredibly fuckin stupid or incredibly fuckin brave coming back here Camila"

I stand in the hallway of the house I own but that has never felt like my home and stare at my dad as though I don't even know him and in that moment I'm not sure I ever have

His hair is dirty and looks as though he hasn't brushed it in weeks, his face is thick with stubble and gone is his immaculate business suit and in its place are white track pants and a white sweater that looks like it has the remains of last nights dinner on it.

"Why?"

"Don't ask questions you can't handle the answer to Camila"

"They're our family"

"They're dead weight, they didn't contribute anything to your success and they don't deserve a single cent that success has brought" he flails his hand in the air as though he's dismissing me but I'm not going anywhere until I get answers to the questions I came here risking my life to ask

"She's my mother, if it wasn't for her I wouldn't even be alive she deserves not to struggle trying to make a living on the streets just for that fact alone "

"I got her pregnant, you are my daughter. She did nothing for you where as I have given up everything for you don't be mistaken about who deserves what"

I shake my head. Unable to understand his thinking, nothing he is saying makes sense, it's all the twisted ranting of someone that's on the verge of losing control and I'm the last person that should be near him when he loses control of himself, the past has shown that on more than one occasion

"Everything okay in there?!" Nesto yells, he's stood at the front door, ready to run for help if needed, there are cops stationed just outside the mansion we know that, I just wonder if my dad does because he doesn't look like he's been outside in a while

"Everything's fine" I reply and turn back to my dad "I'm going to find them and make this right"

"Oh Camila! Please do not tell me you are that fuckin naive" he puts both of his hands onto the dark wood of the kitchen island and shakes his head as my heart begins to race at whatever he is about to tell me "if your mother had wanted you would she have let you leave?! Would she has accepted never seeing you?! If your mother had wanted you she would have fought for you" he turns quickly and begins walking towards me, his face void of any emotion, so blank that I think he may have gone blind and not even be seeing me at all "She wanted me to take you"

"No"

"She wanted you gone"

"You're lying" his hand snakes around the back of my head and pulls my face roughly towards him and in that instant I freeze, I remember this position from before, remember the glint of the knife before I even realised what it was

"She didn't want you Camila, she never wanted you. You were an accident she didn't want to keep, and when you began to sing she resented you for your talent, hated that you could do what she never could"

He jolts me forwards again and his breath hits my face and it's putrid, as though he hasn't brushed his teeth for weeks

"Let me go" my voice is tiny as my body begins to shake in his grip

"You're my daughter Camila, everything you have is because of me, if you think I'm just going to walk away..."

"You have two seconds to let her go and walk the fuck away asshole"

The voice shocks me to more core as I try to turn but my dad only tightens his grip, pulling me to him and holding an arm tightly around my throat

My eyes latch on to Shawns and I'm sure they are huge with terror not knowing what's coming next but knowing the agony a knife can cause in seconds. A silent killer that came so close to killing me last time

"Let her go Mr. Cabello!" Nesto is standing shoulder to shoulder with Shawn, both of them with their wide eyes fixed only on me and my dads laugh rings loud in my ears as his spit hits my cheek

"You both want her don't you?" He laughs and I see Nestos face blush red as his head dips "You're both pathetic losers neither of you get to have her"

"Fuck him... I already have her, Camila and I are together" Shawn states as he starts walking towards us "And I'm not going to tell you again to let my girlfriends go and then you and I can talk man to man"
