Vision Of Blood

Chapter 8

-SILAS POV-

10 minutes later.

"What the fuck do you mean Silas died?" Camila yells as she walks into the living room.

She looks around and her gaze pauses on me. She narrows her eyes before looking at carlito.

"You said she was dead." Camila says.

Carlito rolls his eyes. "Yeah.. 3 days ago?" He says.

Camila furrows her eyebrows in confusion and looks at me. "What does he mean?"

I sigh. "It's a long story, sit down." I tell her.

She's quick to comply and sits down onto the couch in front of me, leaning in with anticipation.

After explaining the entire thing camila shoots up from the couch and rushes to hug me.

I hold back a wince when she hugs me a little too tight.

"I swear once I heard that you were dead I was driving as if I was 16 all over again." Camila rambles.

I lean back in my chair, a smirk spreads across my face. "You would've been in hell with me." I say.

Camila smacks my bad arm. "Nows not the time to joke about that." She says.

I hold my arm with a grimace. "Fuck you." I say.

"Love you too, but really you scared the hell outta me Silas." Camila says.

I tilt my head. "Sorry." I mumble.

"And you!" She shouts, pointing to carlito.

His eyes go wide.

"Learn how to give fucking context before texting something like that." She scolds.

Carlito gives her a look. "How the hell would I give context for that?" He questions.

"Oh I don't fucking know!" She shouts, throwing her arms up in the air. "Maybe not say that my fucking best friend died?!"

"Camila." I say.

She averts her eyes towards me.

"Relax." I tell her.

"Relax?" She sighs. "Imagine getting a call saying that your best friend died." She says.

"But obviously I'm not dead, I'm alive and well." I say.

She plops back down onto the couch, running a hand through her hair. "Whatever." She mutters.

The room falls silent and it's not the comforting silence it's the most fucking awkward silence.

I clear my throat. "Can someone light me a cigarette." I ask.

"No." Everyone shouts.

I roll my eyes. "Whores, all of you are whores." I say.
