The Face Off

024

Camille

If you told me I'd spill my guts out to Callum Beckett I'd laugh at your face yet here I was in his lap telling him everything I've hidden from him and he just listened However I felt him getting tenser his hands never once stopped stroking my hair.

I'm not sure what happened after but I must've fallen asleep on his lap.

"You seriously haven't thrown this away Ryan."

"THIS IS EVIDENCE CALLUM."

"TO THE COPS AND YOU AREN'T IS THIS TAMPERING WITH EVIDENCE OR SOME SHIT."

"FUCK YOU."

"JOKES ON YOU ID FUCK CA-"

"Star hey."

I stared at the two dumbfounded at them. They'd never interact as much so seeing them whatever that was had me confused.

"Morning."

Callum just smiled "Sure you can say that it's midday Star."

"What?"

He nodded.

"Go shower you stink I brought some food right now so you can eat."

I nodded and noticed Ryan was smirking at us.

I went back to my room and cleaned up.

I stared at myself in the mirror for a moment.

Don't It's not worth it. You're not worth it Camille, not your parents, not yourself, and especially not him.

A knock brought me out of my head.

"Star everything okay?"

I opened the door to a worried Callum and I just hugged him.

I never hugged him much.

I don't know why I'm doing it now again.

"Star?" He doesn't want you.

"Hm?"

"Everything alright?"

"Just yesterday."

To which he nodded took my hand and brought us to the small living room.

It was a mess. I wasn't sure how I didn't realize before but it was a mess.

"What's this?"

"You refused the cops so we did a bit of our own investigation while you slept."

"No."

"What."

"Stop doing that."

"What no you can't just let them keep hurting and using you Camille." Ouch

"Just don't please."

"I can't just let them Camille."

"Stop Callum If you consider our friendship stop this."

"Right."

"Callum wait."

"I have to go Camille unless you are willing to hear what me and Ryan found out FOR you'll stay if not I'll go Clearly I'm not needed."

He quickly put his shoes on and walked out.

I let out a sigh.

"You need to stop that."

I looked up and saw Ryan with a disappointed look.

"Now what."

"Excuse me?"

"Now what Ryan you hear to tell me I should just tell him how I feel."

"I don't think you need me for that because you'd never listen It's always what you say goes it's never how anyone feels even if they want to help."

"Fuck you, Ryan. You don't understand."

"No, No I don't because you don't let anyone in Even if you do it's years late it's not about because you're not ready it's about you keeping yourself in your own bubble."

"He cares about Camille and maybe if you opened your eyes a bit you'd realize the man looks at you like you are the only star in his universe but you refuse to."

"No wonder why she cheated on you."

"Funny. I'd say the same thing with your parents slowly cutting you off."

I flinched at that. He quickly took his stuff and walked out.

I fell my legs weak and fell to the ground. No tears could come out. Not that I'd let them.

Fuck them.

Fuck them all.
