"Because I'm in love with you, Raiza."

His words felt strange to me. I stood there motionless and speechless. One of my best friends had just confessed his love to me and I knew I couldn't love him back as he wanted and deserved to. Cam was the sweetest and most caring guy I had met but my heart belonged to someone else.

"Please say something." He said pleading. "The silence it's killing me."

"I-I honestly don't... I don't know what to say. The last thing I want is to hurt you Cam." I closed my eyes and ran my hands through my hair. I couldn't find the words to say it and not break his heart, but there weren't right words, there was just the truth. "I'm so sorry but I can't love you in that way. I'm with Harry and I love him."

He turned his head around and let out the deepest sigh. Cam stayed in silenced and with his back towards me for a couple of minutes, but they felt like hours. Finally he turned around and he had an indecipherable expression in his face.

The copper haired guy walked towards me at a steady pace and grabbed me by the shoulders. "Why can't you see that fucking asshole is no good for you!?" He yelled at me. "There's something seriously fucked up and strange about him and I know you know it, you just choose to ignore it!"

At first I got scared of his reaction but I knew that he was just trying to deal with what was happening; Cam was fighting the pain.

"Oh, hun. You're bloody right about that." I heard a female voice saying from behind. "But Raiza didn't chose to ignore it. She's trying to fix him with her lovey dovey love, how sweet!"

Cam's attention drifted to the person talking and frowned. "Who are you?"

I turned around and a groan of disgust escaped from my lips. "Not you again."

A pleased smirk grew on Chantal's lips as she saw the mortified expression written all over my face. "I can see you're so stocked to see me, baby."

"What are you even doing here?" I asked confused and annoyed.

"I came for him." She said pointing at Cam.

"What?" We both said.

"I'm sorry but I don't know you and we're in the middle of something here." My friend informed her.

"Oh Cam, darling. Stop playing dumb." Chantal took a pocket mirror out and retouched her lipstick. "You're soul was calling for a salvation and here I am." She noticed neither of us believed was she was saying and laughed. '"Why did Raiza choose that asshole? He's only going to hurt her', 'I'll do anything to get her want me', 'She deserves someone good', weren't you thinking that?" The demon said imitating Cam's voice.

"H-How do you know my name? How do you know that?"

I desperately grabbed my friend's arm and tried to take him out of there. "Cam, don't listen to her. She's just trying to deceive you. We need to go now." I tried to warn him but he didn't move an inch. "If you go with her-"

"If you come with me you'll get everything you have ever wanted and you'll get rid of that suffocating pain you're feeling right now." She walked towards us and grabbed Cam taking him away from me. Chantal leaned closer to her and whispered something in his ear that I couldn't quite decipher.

"Cam." I called his name pleading. "Cam, please don't-"

"I only have one question." He said turning to me. I looked at him expectant. "If I had told you I loved you before, things would be different between us right now? Would have you chosen me instead of him if I just had told you sooner?"

"I wish I could answer that Cam. But I honestly don't know what could've happened. Yes, maybe we would be together or maybe not. Who knows? We can guess what could've been or haven't been. I'm so sorry."

"Let's go." He said turning his back to me. Chantal looked at me with a triumphant and pleased expression in her face.

"She's going to hurt you!" I could feel the tears streaming down my face. I was going to loose my best friend in the hands of that despiteful demon. She was going to kill him and Cam wouldn't hear me.

"I don't think I can get more hurt than what I'm feeling right now." He said not even looking at me.

"No, you don't understand! She's going to k-" I fell to the ground and I felt a burning pain in my cheek. I looked up and Chantal had slapped me.

"Shut the fuck up." She yelled. "Bloody human." I put my hand in my cheek trying to calm the pain. Cam turned around and looked at me worried. He was going to come closer to me but Chantal stopped him. "Don't even bother."

She grabbed his hand and winked at him. Chantal placed her head on his shoulder and looked at me again. She waved at me with a mocking look in her face. I stood up and tried to stop them but I felt to the ground again; they had vanished.

"CAM!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. "CAM!" I started crying uncontrollably and I could feel a sharp pain in my chest. My breathing became uneasy and I was having trouble breathing. My best friend was in the grip of a demon driven by nothing but hate, a demon with thirst for vengeance.

I heard footsteps coming closer and I looked up hoping it was him who was coming back. "Cam?" I whispered between cries and breaths.

"RAIZA!" I heard Harry calling out my name.

Within seconds I felt a pair of arms being wrapped around me, and soon a familiar scent filled my nose. I heard more voices and footsteps coming closer.

"She took him. She took Cam. She's going to kill him." I cried. I squeezed his t-shirt as the tears kept coming stronger than before.

"Angel, angel, please calm down." Harry said hugging me. "What happened? Are you hurt? What are you taking about?"

"Chantal. Chantal took Cam."

"What?"

"Who the fuck is Chantal?" I heard Rue's voice. My friend got closer and knelt down next to me. She looked around and then at me worried. "Did that girl do something to you? How's that she took Cam?"

"She's one of the demons I used to hang out with." Harry said giving a wince. "Let's just say we aren't much fond of each other right now."

"Cam. I need to find him. I can't let her hurt him." I whispered over and over again as if I was in some kind of trance.

"You care that much about him? You're willing to risk your life just to save him?" My boyfriend sounded surprised and a little taken aback. 

"It's my fault. He went with Chantal because of me. I can't let her kill him. He's my best friend. I can't-"

"Raiza, Raiza look at me." The curly haired guy cupped my cheeks making me pose my gaze on him. "If he means that much to you, I promise we will find him and bring him back."

I looked at him not believing what had just come out of his mouth. Cam and Harry had never seen eye to eye; in fact, it was obvious they hated each other with passion. But he had just said he was going to help me find Cam. He loved me that much to get rid of his pride and save my best friend's life? I hugged my boyfriend tightly. "Y-You promise?"

He nodded. "I promise, angel."

"Don't worry, Raiza. We'll find him together." Rue reassured me.

I looked at the spot where I had last seen Cam and a feeling of indescribable concern filled my heart. I feared for his life more than I did for mine.

It seemed like we were getting out of a problem to get into another; an endless cycle of unfortunate events.
