Damien

"Where are we going?" Blake sluggishly asks while he trips over another large tree root. We haven't even been out here for 10 minutes and I'm ready to go back. But that might also have something to do with my boyfriends stilling being back at the camp. That was the only thing that could keep Milo safe, and Caleb joined him, making sure Milo was protected just in case.

But I was still anxious, what if something happened to them while I wasn't there?

I trust Caleb to protect him, I just want them to be safe. But I needed to cover for them. That's what I needed to focus on right now.

"Damien you ok?" Tori walked over to me, looking at me with concern in her eyes.

"Yea. Just worried." I reassure her, a bit more quieter so no one would question. She bit down on her lips as guilt flashed in her eyes before quickly disappearing.

"I'll tell him. I should have done it before, but I was scared, and now I think Mr Axel went back to the Cabins for them." She explained to me, I lift my gaze to meet her's.

"Wait, he's not here?" I began to frantically look around for Mr Axel but I don't see him. I plant my feet and Tori stops with me confused.

"Do you guys smell smoke?" Cameron
questions as he smells the air. I subconsciously do the same, and I definitely smelled smoke.

What if-

Immediately I turned around and bolted in the direction of the camp, ignoring the staff and Mr Williams calling out for me. Hopefully Tori was going to tell Mr Williams about her affair, maybe he'll stop being so oblivious about what his brother was doing all this time.

Once I make it back to the Cabins I see almost everything on fire. The fire was spreading quickly to the rest of the cabins. But one cabin stuck out from the rest. It had a chair propped against the door in a way that trapped whatever was inside while the entire cabin was lit on fire.

Are they in there?

I tried to run over to our cabin, but I stopped by Axel; who shoved me to the ground before I could get to the cabin. He looks down at me with the most annoyed look.

"You aren't going anywhere."

I pushed myself off the floor, punching him in the stomach on my way up. He falls to the ground and I try to run but once again I'm stopped by him grabbing my ankle and pulling me and causing me to fall. My hand lands on the part of the grass that's on fire an I bite back an agonized yell.

I clench my teeth together as I turn on my back and shove the heel of my foot into his nose before scampering up and running to our cabin door and ripping away the chair, twisting the knob the door opens, Caleb quickly turns around, he's shirtless; his shirt was against is mouth and nose, seemingly to help him breathe.
Milo passed out in his free arm, slumped against his shoulder.

I quickly help Caleb with Milo, quickly getting them both out of the burning cabin. We make it to the part of the grass that isn't burning yet. Caleb takes the shirt off his nose and starts gasping and coughing as the smoke exits his lungs and air makes its way in. He falls to the floor aggressively choking and coughing, and I immediately follow him down with Milo in my arms.

I patted his back to help him until his coughs slowly came to a stop and I pulled him closer to me. "You aren't burnt anywhere?"

"I-I don't think so." He lets out a breath as he rests on my shoulder, I look at his torso and see a few burns, but nothing too severe.

Milo rests in my lap, eyes closed, but I watch as he takes slow breaths until he starts aggressive coughing as well. After 30 seconds of hitting his back his coughing slowly came to a stop.

He looks around until his eyes meet ours, and he doesn't say anything but lays back down on my leg. I run my hands through his hair. My nerves and heart rate begin to slow as I take in larger breaths to calm myself down.

"I'm so glad I made it back." I softly murmur as I squeeze my eyes shut, trying to get the thought of me being too late to save them out of my head.

"M-Me too." Caleb quietly responds.

I look around for Axel, luckily I see Mr Williams punching the shit out of him a little further away. Tori stands not to far, with Mia next to her. Tori spots me and nods, and I returned a nod, knowing she told Mr Williams. I was upset that she didn't tell him sooner, and this could've been avoided. But that was the least of my worries right now.

Soon I hear sirens, the police arrive and have to forcefully take Mr Williams off Axel, who was basically screaming the entire time. The ambulance and firetruck was also called.
I took them to ambulance as the firetruck put out the spreading fire.

I had maybe a scratch or two and the slight burn of my forearm, but Caleb and Milo had to be put onto a breathing treatment and their burns had to be tended to. I stayed there the entire time with them. Eventually they went to sleep, and the doctors told me to go.

When the firetruck put out all the fire, all the campers went out to scavenge what was left. All the phones were burned and most of everyone's clothes were also burned. Eventually I found a spot that was soaked with water and just sat.
Eventually some started to come over.

"Hey, are you alright?" Blake sincerely asks me but I snapped.

"No! My boyfriends almost burned down with these cabins, why would you ask that?" My voice was raised as I felt like punching the shit out of something.

"Dude he was just asking." Cameron crossed his arms and I ran my fingers through my head before stopping mid-way through my head and gripping my hair.

"I'm sorry, I'm just tense? Stress? Scared? I'm feeling so many emotions right now." I say as I rapidly tap my foot. I don't know why I felt like this. I saved them, they are ok. But my mind keeps playing over and over again when I opened the door, but instead what actually happened, I see them burning as the fire consumed their skin, hear their agonizing screams and cries for help, as I stand there frozen in place as tears begin to blur my vision.

I realized that I actually had tears in my eyes, I tried to repeatedly blink them away, but the tears only skated down my cheeks.

"Damien..." Cameron's voice is faint as he has a lost for words to tell me.

"I can't get rid of the thought of them burning right in front of me, as I watch them cry out to me. And it hurts knowing that if I was a few minutes late it could've been a reality." I choke out a sob as I release the grip on my hair and dig my nails into my skin.

"But it wasn't, you came just in time. You don't have the time for what if's, you need to
make sure they're ok right now." Cameron orders as he grabs my wrist that is digging into my skin and yanks it away.

"Right." I say as I wipe the waterworks that were spilling over my eyes lids. I stand up and dust myself off.

"You fell for them hard." Blake teases as he hooks an arm around my shoulder. I roll my eyes at his comment. He wasn't wrong. I did fall for them hard. They made me start liking guys.
Being the reason why a straight guy like boys is an accomplishment. I still liked girls obviously, but I like them as well.
