You have a bright future in front of you, being the daughter of one of the most financially powerful families in Piltover. You have always behaved, but you don't really feel right, you can't fit in.
You meet someone at the Progress Day's fair, someo...
I spent the next day in my room, skipping the piano lesson too. I don't know what to think. I don't know what's going on... Shimmer is killing people, he is killing them, just for profit? And my parents have an affair with him? They have been acting very strange recently, what if they saw us?
My sanity is crumbling. I need to escape reality right now.
I put on a cute pink long dress, take my record player, a few vinyls and go to the gazebo in our garden. Apparently, it rained today, the grass is wet and I usually walk out bare feet, so I run and by the time I get under the roof, it gently starts raining again. It's late night, but the gazebo is quite distant from my parent's room so I can play music.

I take a pack of cigarettes that Sett hid a few months ago under a chair, and I light one on. I'm not the smoker type, but I see how relaxed everyone is when they do, maybe it can help: clearly I start coughing, but I end up getting used to the feeling, and it really is relaxing me.
I'm almost falling asleep when suddenly the lights turn off. «Who's there? Camille, is that you?»
I see an orange light: Silco's eye. «Hey, dove. I brought an album too» he says, a vinyl case in his hand. The garden is dark but I'm able to see shapes, thanks to the moonlight and the distant streetlights.
I'm scared, and he notices: «What happened Y/N? Why are you scared of me?»
«Nothing. I'm not scared what are you talking about?» He comes closer and I flinch.
«How can you be afraid of me, hm? I would rather cut my own hand than hurt you.»
I told him everything. I stood up while explaining, trying to face him but with the lack of real light, and him being taller, it wasn't possible to see what his reaction was.
«Mh... but why would I be mad? You were at the table as we were discussing the next shimmer shipment. I thought you knew already?»Oh, omg I'm so dumb.
«And to answer your doubts, yes I work with your parents. If I don't sell the shimmer, someone else is going to. It's just how it is.
They're giving you more freedom because we're busy finding a way out to get rid of all the suspicions the police have about us. I'm not telling them about you and me. I don't suggest you to, either.» As he was talking, his hand was playing with mine.
I feel lighter now. When I'm with him, I feel like we're just two strings of grass in the wind.
«Do you want to dance with me, dove?» «I do.»
He played his vinyl: Artic Monkeys' album 'AM'. We started slowly dancing in the dark, both his hands on my back, supporting me. A few songs were slower, others were more energetic and eventually, we got to 'I wanna be yours': he was hugging me from behind, resting his chin on my head, and kissing my neck every now and then. His hands, now on my waist, start going up, it feels like I'm living this in slow-mo as he firmly but softly starts squeezing my breast. My breath gets louder as he starts whispering in my ear, singing the song "Secrets I have held in my heart, are harder to hide than I thought. Maybe I just want to be yours..." I move to face him and kiss him. He's gentle but never stops the kiss, hungry for more.
His hands are now trembling and sweating as I start touching him, and unzip his jeans. He starts softly moaning in anticipation but the moment gets interrupted by the vinyl, which gets stuck and starts repeating the same note.
«Sorry» I whisper as I move to turn it off, but by the time I move back to face Silco, he's zipping up his pants.
«We can still replay it, firefly-» «Uhm no no, it's, it's fine. I don't want it to happen like this. It's getting very late now. Oh, and Jinx gave me the paper, you forgot to take it yesterday.» he said, turning on the lights and handing me the folded copy. That's when I noticed: «Silco wait, what-what happened?» He had a bruise on his cheek and his eyebrow a sewed-up wound, it was still swollen.
«Well, it's not a great period for your parents- »«What the fuck was Sevika doing? She is your bodyguard how did she let this happen!»
«Calm down, I'm fine cinnamon. » «Your cute nicknames aren't gonna save you now.»
«Oh really? Why not, am I ugly like this? I thought you liked my scar.» he said, leaning closer, trying to kiss me, «You look even hotter, but I'm still beating Sevika's ass » and then we kiss passionately again. Every time my tongue explores his mouth I sense a bit of alcohol along with the cigar's taste, but I don't dislike it. If it's him, I like it.
«I got to go now, don't make any silly move, okay? I'm waiting for you tomorrow if you want to see me.»
A few seconds later he was gone, and I felt empty again.
