Opposites Attract - C.Dallas

"Ciara! Get your arse up this instant!" I heard a well known voice demand.

I groaned.

"Ciara!" Her voice was more demanding.

"What Caitlin?" I groaned as I slowly fluttered my eyes open.

I came across a happy, joyful looking Caitlin.

"Fill me in on all the info with you and Cameron." She demanded.

"How do you know?" I asked.

"Well Cameron obviously told Nash and he as always slips it out to the boys. Im really happy about it." She explained.

"Thats nice." A tone of sarcasm was heard as Caitlin glared at me.

"Okay, Okay. Well..."

*****

The guys were surprisingly happy about Cam and I. Everyone was currently downstairs while I was up in my room, revising for my exams next week.

I heard my door open. I assumed it was Cam so I continued to revise. I was very wrong indeed. A pair of cold hands held onto my shoulders. I shivered.

"Hello again." The deadly voice said.

I quickly got up from my chair and faced the man himself.

"Ray." I said.

"How did you get in here?" I asked.

"I have my ways." He smirked.

"What do you want?" I harshly said.

"You." He grinned.

"I'd be careful if I were you. You know what I'm like." I threatened him.

"Trust me. I know." He said.

"Ray, its best you leave." I said as nicely as I could.

"Your like your mother." He said which left me confused.

"She's a strong woman too. You talk like her, you fight like her, your clever like her and courageous." He explained.

"Ray leave. I don't have time to chit chat with you." I said starting to get annoyed.

"Oh but you do." He grinned.

Then he did the unexpected and grabbed hold of my neck and pushed me against the wall.

"What the hell?!" I yelled.

"You should respect your elders." He smirked.

"And you should avoid hurting the innocent." I yelled.

He then threw my body against my door. I took the opportunity to exit my room and run down the stairs as fast as I could. I reached the living room where Caitlin and the boys were. Caitlin had a scared expression shown on her face. The boys just looked confused. I heard his footsteps behind me. I turned and my back immediately hit the floor. Ray had leaped on me and held me down with his tough grip on my arms. He had worn a balaclava to hide his identity from the others.

"Ciara!" Cam shouted.

"If you desperately need me, then I'd stop yourself before I kill you like I did with Marco." Those threatening words came out of my mouth in a whisper.

His eyes widened and he slowly released his grip. He got up and slowly walked backwards. I slowly got up, immediately feeling the pain striking through my back.

"I'll see you again Ciara." He said in a deeper tone.

He pressed the buzzer that opens the front gates and exited the house.

"Baby, are you okay?" Cam asked holding onto my shoulders.

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me." I weakly smiled.

"If Hugo was here, he'd kill that man." Jack said.

"Who was he?" Nash asked.

"I don't know." I lied.

My eyes met Caitlin's. Tears were threatening to spill out. She then ran out of the living room, and quickly paced up the stairs.

"I'll be back guys." I said as I quickly ran after her.

Without knocking, I entered her room. She was curled into a ball on her bed. I shut the door and ran up to her, engulfing her in a hug.

"I'm so sorry Ciara." She cried.

"It's fine." I said.

"I-I came back from the supermarket and he was outside the mansion, looking through the gates. I asked him why he was there. Then he told me his identity and he pinned me up the gates. He held a knife against my throat. I-I had nothing to defend myself with. I let him in because he said he would kill me if I didn't. I knew he came to talk to you but I didn't know that he was going to hurt you like that." Caitlin explained.

"Don't worry. It's over and done with now. In future, step away and hide. Call me and I'll sort them out." I said earning a laugh from her.

"I'm glad to have you as my best friend. Your a true friend Ciara. Never have you ever betrayed me and I'm thankful for that." She praised me with her kind words.

"I love you girl." I said in a funny tone.

"I love you too girl." She said in the same tone.

*Cameron's P.O.V*
I was lying in my bed, with Ciara in my arms. I was struggling to sleep. I was over thinking way too much about us being in the gang.

"Cam." Ciara silently said.

I thought she would be asleep.

"Yes Princess?"

"I can't sleep." She said looking up at me.

"Neither can I." I admitted.

"What are you thinking of?" She asked.

This is what I love about Ciara. She knows me so well.

I heavily sighed, trying to think how I'm going to word it out.

"I don't like being in the gang." I said.

"Your not the only one." She muttered.

"Does it scare you? It certainly scares me." I asked.

"It scares me too." She admitted.

"I just want a normal life again. I've always wanted to be an actor but I won't be able to pursue that if I ever got a criminal record." I explained and she nodded, understanding.

"I've always wanted to be a singer or an actress." Ciara revealed.

"You'll achieve it Princess." I reassured her.

"You think so?" She asked.

"I know so." I said.

She then nuzzled her face in the crook of my neck and gently kissed my neck.

"I hope you achieve what you want to be and I believe you'll definitely become an actor one day." She mumbled and copied my words.

I lightly chuckled. She pulled away looking at me and started to giggle.

I kissed her forehead and brought her to my chest.

"Goodnight Sweet Cheeks." She bided.

"Goodnight Ciara." I smiled.
