INTERLINKED

Camila had no idea how long she'd been locked in that room, it felt like a day had passed, but in reality it had probably only been an hour.

She didn't know what to do with herself, there was nothing but a bed and a dresser in the room, but in all fairness she hadn't bothered to look around yet. So she did just that.

The bathroom was pretty boring, there were two bottles of shampoo and conditioner but nothing else, there was a pretty big mirror so Camila could finally get a view of how fucked up she looked. Her mascara had now been smeared all across her eyelids, her cheeks and her temples. Great.

She took a minute to wash off her face, scrubbing aggressively until the stuff was wiped from her face.

She went through the dresser, there was a couple clothes in there. Not for her, though. They were all boxers and random baggy tops that would look like dresses on her.

There wasn't any makeup, or any of that. It was empty besides the clothes.

What a fun room.

A knock against the door made her jump out of her skin. "Hello?"

The lock clicked open as Camila went back to sit on the bed, waiting anxiously.

It was Sam. He was holding a plate of food in one hand and a bag in the other.

"Hi, Camila." He said softly, Camila just nodded at him. "Here's some food cause i know you didn't eat those chips Colby got you. I also stole some Kats clothes to let you have. Just don't tell her when you meet her."

"I'm meeting people?" I'm not dying?

"Well, not yet. But eventually, you know...it all depends." Sam mumbled. "Anyway, there's some pyjamas in there and just some comfortable clothes cause I doubt you'll be let out of here anytime soon."

Comforting, thanks Sam. "Thank you."

"No problem. I really am sorry about this, I've already talked to Kevin and Ariya, they're in shit with Colby. You should've never been brought into this shit."

Sam seemed like the only nice one of the group. He seemed reasonable, and Camila was grateful that he'd brought clothes for her.

"You should eat, it gets boring in here." Sam said, going to leave. "Kat locked me in here once after a bad job I did, it was boring." What a healthy dynamic. "Shes not crazy, I promise."

Camila let a smile break on her face, then watched as he left and she was alone again. She only ate a couple bites of the food he'd given her, and then decided to change out of her clothes and into the pyjamas.

As she snooped through the bag, she hit a hard cover at the bottom, grabbed it and pulled it out.

It was a little book, with a note on it that said 'enjoy :)'. It was one of those books with a little story at the front and then a couple pages to write on at the back, it had a pen connected to it. She smiled, that was nice of him.

Camila got under the covers and started to read, the lamp to her side was now dimmed.

She never slept, in fact she read through the entire story and didn't even feel tired. All she could think about was her old life, she wanted to just go back in time and stay in the park with them forever. In some way, she was. Because the memory would not stop replaying in her mind.

"You're seeing someone new?" Kat asked Colby as they all sat around the kitchen island eating.

"How do you know that?" He asked, putting his fork down and grabbing his glass.

"Sam told me."

Colby shot and annoyed glance at Sam before saying, "yeah, I'm seeing someone. Her names...Camila. We're just having a bit of fun."

"When aren't you having a bit of fun?" Stas laughed.

"Look, we just met at a bar and we got along. Nothing more. She won't be around for long."

Sam looked upset, he knew Camila didn't deserve an ounce of the treatment she was currently getting. And he himself couldn't shake the fact that she had been walking with bags of toys. Who were they for?

"You never introduce us to these girls, we want to meet your girlfriend!" Devyn smiled.

"Shes not a girlfriend." Colby said, his tone cold. "Shes nothing."

"Hey! Don't say that, everyone means something."
Tara said.

"Dont care."

"Just ignore him." Sam said, and Colby rolled his eyes.
