Please stop

13. Declan.

The next morning I woke up to shuffling. I open my eyes and i'm met with Asher in boxers trying to find his clothes. I quickly look away but Asher already saw me.

"Oh shit." He says quickly throwing his pajama pants on again.

"It's alright." I say reassuringly.

I get up and walk out to give him some privacy and Elizabeth is already cooking breakfast. I sit down in the same seat I was in last night. I check my phone and then it hits me, I broke up with Liam. If i ever see him again i'm going to die. He's going to kill me. My eyes start tearing up at the same time Declan walks down the hall and into the kitchen.

His hair is messy and he's shirtless.

Well i've seen a lot of half naked guys this morning.

He looks over in my direction and catches me staring. I look back in my lap at my phone and scroll through instagram.

Declan sits down next to me and whispers in my ear.

"I'm sorry about last night."

He straightens himself back up and I give him a small smile. I wasn't that upset about it. I'm more upset about Liam. Asher comes walking into the kitchen and we share a look. Almost like we were silently agreeing to forget about me seeing him.

Elizabeth serves us all and we eat.

"Camila you gotta get ready we are going to be late." Asher says eating fast.

"I don't think i'm going to school today." I say.

"Why?" He asks suddenly interested.

"I just don't feel like it." I say looking down at my plate.

"Okay well you can stay here and i'll see you after school." He says getting up to clean his plate.

Asher grabs his bag and says his goodbyes. After he leaves I go back in his room and sit on the bed. My phone rings and this time it's my mom. I decide to answer.

"Oh honey. I'm so sorry. Where are you?! Liam said-" And that's when I hang up again.

I sigh and toss my phone on the other side of the bed. After a few minutes of just sitting there, I hear a knock on the door.

"Come in!" I say loud enough for the person on the other side of the door.

Declan walks in and stands there.

"Wanna do something?" He asks.

"Like what?"

"I'll show you a spot. C'mon." He said once again making the gesture with his fingers.

I get up and follow him out of the house. He tells me to get in his car so I do. Halfway through the drive Declan sighs.

"There was one day in my life that I saw something horrible. Since that day I made a vow to myself that I would never associate myself with an extremely mentally ill person. You may think that's a dick thing to do but it's true. I never wanted to see what I saw that night again." He said.

Is he talking about the night with his mom? He doesn't know that Asher told me.

"But look at me know. I'm going out of my way to spend time with you. I have this overwhelming need to save you." He says sighing.

"I don't need to be saved. You also shouldn't break your vow over me." I said looking out the window.

"You need to be saved from yourself."

I ignore the statement and focus on the scenery. We are on a backroad because all I can see are trees. I zone out until I feel the car come to a stop. I look around and realize that there is still nothing around up.

"It's a bit of a walk but it's worth it." Declan says.

This time I follow him through the woods. I was a little nervous going off of the road but I feel safe with Declan. He seems like a good person.

After walking for about 15 minutes we come to the destination a cliff.
