Damien

I hated avoiding them.

I hated from the bottom of my heart

I haven't done this, even when I hated them.
But what was I gonna say to them? Oh sorry for losing my temper again, and causing us to be separated, putting you two to be in more danger.

I was putting them in danger, I couldn't do the simplest thing; control myself. I let myself be blinded by rage. My parents always said I couldn't do the easiest thing because of my anger, and I was only proving them right. I hated proving my parents right. Especially when it was something about me. It hurts so much, because I know it's true.

I don't want my parents to be right. I don't want to believe what they say. I am my own person, my anger doesn't control my life, I control my own life.

"Dude, apologize." Blake said as he threw the ball at me. I caught it with ease as I let out a sigh.

"I want to, but-"

"But you're too stubborn. I was literally rooting for you three. You guys kinda brought something out of one another. They brought out the kindness out of you." He said and I threw the ball at him as I felt a small smile and none noticeable tint of blush on my face. The thought of them bringing something in out of me that my parents stuffed and shoved deep inside of me, made me subconsciously feel happy.

He caught it, "Milo began to open up and confidently talking to people. And Caleb stopped being so defensive." He said as he threw again, but way faster this time, as I tried to catch it someone stopped it. Then I realized it was Brandon. I roll my eyes. I have good reasons to hate this son of a bitch. He was targeting my boyfriends, specifically Caleb.

Did I just say boyfriends?

I felt blood rush to my cheeks as I snapped my head the other way so no one would see my blushing face.

Then I see Caleb. He's talking with a guy, smiling and laughing. I feel jealousy hit me. He has the right to laugh and smile around other people. But why Ethan? The guy who likes him. Especially while we aren't on talking terms.

I've noticed how Ethan blushes while Caleb's around, and usually I wouldn't care because I was sure Caleb liked me and Milo. But after what he told us last week, I wasn't too sure anymore. Not to mention he's been actively avoiding me, and probably Milo too. Everytime he sees me he turns the other way, unlike Milo who just looks to the ground and and rushes off in the opposite direction.

Ethan watches as Caleb laughs before taking a breath and grabbing him by the chin before pressing his lips to Caleb's, and Caleb immediately pushes him off. And I feel my anger spike, I ignore as Brandon and Blakes calls out to me as I storm up to Ethan.

"The fuck are you doing?" I bark and I watch as Ethan eyes widen in fear, but I didn't care.
I don't own Caleb but I'll be damned if someone else kissed him.

"I-I-"

"Damien he didn't know. Just leav-" I turned around to Caleb. I wasn't angry with him because, he pushed him away. But I was pissed that he was telling me to leave after what just happened.

"Im not going anywhere, not after he kissed you." I growled, only loud enough for Caleb to hear as I leaned down, closer to his face. I watch his cheeks turn rosey as he looked away. He might still be angry with me, but he still has feelings for me. And that's fine with me. He deserves to be upset with me. But no one else was gonna kiss him.

I grabbed him by chin and tilted his head up to look at me before mashing my lips onto his. He was taken back, but didn't pull away and leaned in as his hand rested on chest.

After a few more seconds I pulled away and his face was flush red and looked everywhere else but at me.

"You can stay mad at me, but as long as you have feelings for me, you aren't gonna kiss anyone else."

"I'm my own person. What if I don't have feelings for you anymore?"

"You want me to test that out?" I say as I look him up and down with a seducing look and he didn't say anything but clamp a hand over his mouth, and I smirked.

He doesn't belong to me, neither does Milo. They have their own mouths, their own lives. But as long as they still have feelings for me, they definitely don't belong to anyone else.

"Sh-Shut up Damien."

Looking over at Ethan I give him a glare, "If you still haven't figured it out, he isn't available."
I turn away and walk away, hoping Ethan had gotten the message. Or better yet, Caleb understood that he might be upset with me, but he definitely still likes me.

I wasn't going to go back to where Brandon was. If he said one thing that pissed me off, I probably won't hesitate to slap him across the face.

I was about to go back into my cabin but I saw Milo fall to the ground while his face had a painful expression as he took in harsh breaths. He looked down as his calf that was purple and green as his hand hovered over his injury, hesitant to touch it.

Something happened to him

I made my way over to him, he hadn't noticed me, "Milo, who the fuck did this to you?"
He looked around until his eyes spotted mine.

"I tripped-"

He's lying

I grabbed him and swiftly pulled him into my arms. He flinched at the sudden action. I carried him to the nurses office and sat him on one of the beds, and I kneel in front of him.

"Milo, don't take me for stupid. Tell me the truth. Who did this?" I say as I try to keep as calm as possible.

"When I went into the woods-"

"You went in the woods?!"

"If you want me to explain, let m-" He stucked his teeth as he held his side. My brow raised as I watched him. I lifted the side of his shirt where he held and saw a brusie.

"Explain this too." I say as I gently caress it, watching him wince.

"It was Mr Axel. He took me away in the woods and choked me." He pulled down his collar and I saw the purple line around his neck, proving he was strangled. "His plan was to make me go unconscious and when everyone goes in their cabin, to toss me in the lake."

He was actually trying to kill him today. What if Milo hadn't gotten away, I probably wouldn't have seen him again.

"And Damien. Im sorry. I knew why they were after Caleb. I didn't want to tell you because I didn't know how you'd react." He bit down on his lip before letting out a breath, "Damien, it's you."

"What?"

"Your the reason why they're trying to kill Caleb."
