Lia POV
After cleaning up I made it back to the party to check on Cat and everyone. Cameron had to take a call and told me he'll catch up. I ran into Miranda.
"Hey have you seen Cat?" I asked her
"Oh she's in the bathroom over there." She said and I nodded
"Great thanks" I said to her and went into the bathroom and it was empty.
"Cat?" I called and I turned around to leave out and a guy was standing at the entry way of the hallway leading to the bathroom. He had blonde hair blue eyes. Stood about a little under Cameron's height. He was handsome dressed in a nice suit with no tie. I walked to go past him but he stepped in my path.
"You're just as beautiful as he described" The guy said
"I'm sorry. Do I know you?" I asked him
"I'm a friend of your boyfriend." He said
"Oh. Okay. I didn't know he invited people too. It's nice to meet you." I stuck my hand out
"Nic" he said and I shook his hand
I tried to pull away but he held on.
"I'm sorry I just can't get over it. You're beautiful. The way he described you did you no justice compared to seeing you with my own eyes." He said"I'm surprised Cameron said that much" I said and he let go of my hand
"Where is he? I haven't seen him since earlier when he carried you upstairs" He said and I blushed at what we had done not too long ago
"He had a call to take." I said "Well I should get going back to my friends. I'll tell Cam that you were looking for him."
I walked off but yet again he stopped me.
"I'm sorry" He said "Just one more thing. You look familiar have I seen you around the area before?"
"Oh I-" I started but wondered if it would be smart to tell him where I work but maybe I was being paranoid.
"Probably not. Cameron's the protective type""Yeah I know." He said and nodded
"I really do need to go but it was nice meeting you Nic" I said and he nodded
"I'll see you around Lia" He said and I stopped and looked at him once more and he smiled at me. I nodded and walked off.
I came back to the main area and saw Cat and Alex making out to my surprise. Damn Cameron was right.
I felt someone next to me and it was Brandon.
"Where have you been?" I asked him"I'm surprised Cameron isn't attached to your hip right now." He said and I turned to him
"Do you have a problem with Cameron Bran?" I asked grabbing his hand
He removed it from mine. "Lia. Please stop he'll."
"Has Cameron said something to you?" I asked pissed
Brandon shook his head. "No. He didn't. I just needed some space." He said
"You know you can come to me for anything right?" I said and he looked behind me and I felt him before I saw him. I looked up to see Cameron glaring at Brandon.
Brandon walked off without a word and I turned to him.
"Did you say something to Brandon?" I asked him and he looked around the room.
"I just told him the obvious" He said crossing his arms
"And that is?" I asked
"That he's in love with you and that you will never return the feeling. That he needs to get over you before I physically remove him from the equation" Cameron said looking at me
"You threatened one of my best friends?" I asked pissed
"The asshole is obsessed with you Lia. Everyone sees it but you" He said
"I don't care. He's my friend. We have been friends since childhood. He's been there for me countless times and I love him for it"I said
"What the fuck did you just say?" He asked me and his eyes darkened. He was furious.
"I said I love him. I'm not in love with him." I said
"That's the same fucking thing." He said
"You're mad. I get it. Go cool down and then we can discuss this like adults" I said
He smirked. "You're right. I'm gonna settle it like an adult. The way I'm used to doing. By putting a fucking bullet in his chest." He said the walked off to the way Brandon went
I hurried behind him.
"Cameron stop" I ran in front of him "Stop, please"
I held onto his arm that reached behind his back into his waist which I'm sure is where his gun is."Please stop" I said "I love you. Only you. Not him"
He looked in my eyes and his softened. His hand dropped from behind his back. He ran a hand through his hair pacing back and forth.
"I know I don't deserve you Lia. You're too good for me but I can't bare to see you with anyone else. If that makes me selfish I don't care, then I'll be selfish. I want you to only want me. I want to be yours as much as I want you to be mine." He said and I kissed him on the lips. He pulled me closer to him.
"Cameron I only want you and you are mine. My feelings for Brandon doesn't go beyond friendship. You are the man I love and am in love with. Nothing will change that. Please trust me." I said and he nodded pulling me to the area where I ran into his friend.
"I'm sorry" He said making me look at him. "I just lose my head sometimes and I act rash and I'm sorry."
I smiled at him. Cameron rarely said sorry to anyone and to hear it made me smile.
"We will work on it" I said earning a smile from him. "Also I ran into your friend Nic over here when I was looking for Cat""Nic?" he asked and he looked confused "What did he say to you?"
"Blonde guy blue eyes almost your height. Said you told him about how beautiful I was and he was looking for you." I said and Cameron shook his head
"Love I never spoke to anyone other than the guys you met at breakfast. You sure it wasn't one of them?" He asked
"I'm sure. What's the problem?" I asked
"Follow me." Cameron said grabbing my hand and soon we heard gunshots erupt in the crowd and everyone started running. People pushed past us and I tripped falling down losing Cameron in the crowd.
"Lia!" I heard as screams filled the house.
"Hey you okay?" I heard and looked up to see Nic.
"Yeah. I hurt my ankle." I said and he reached to help me up.
I winced. "Come lets get out of here it's not safe" He said
"I have to find Cameron." I said as he helped me towards the back door rather than the front
"I'm taking you to your boyfriend" He said
"No Cameron went that way." I said removing myself from his grip and soon I felt a cloth on my face. I fought against him and felt my body go limp.
"And Elijah is this way." I heard before my eyes closed
