Before Midnight (Camila/You) [ON HOLD]

Chapter 3

Standing directly in front of me, he stuck out his hand for me to shake. On the inside, I wanted to make a face of disgust but I shielded that look and went for a smile. I shook his cold hand with mine and tried to avoid his gaze. I knew he wanted revenge. I knew he wanted to humiliate me and worst of all, he knew exactly how to get under my skin.

"Austin, I didn't expect to see you again. What brings you here? And nice to see you guys again, Mr. and Mrs. Mahone" I tried to reduce the harshness in my voice but I just couldn't. I had too much anger towards him that I couldn't bottle it up and lock it away deep inside of me. He grinned as if he was laughing at me inside his head.

"My parents decided it would be best to see how you are all doing with the move to this part of town. It must be difficult moving away from many of your friends, I hope your adjusting to it well." There he goes again acting all innocent in front of his parents and mine, maybe I'm just paranoid but who could blame me? That boy literally blackmailed me for months and for that I can't let it go. Blackmailing is one of the worst things you can do to someone, it's an act of power, manipulation, it tricked me into doing whatever he wanted. Like I was a slave. Tuning out of my thoughts, I returned to our conversation.

"I am. I think I need some new friends so this move will benefit me I think." Okay that was a little exaggerated but some of it was true, I did need some new friends. My old ones either wanted to sleep with me or get popular by being around me. Good thing that I haven't talked to them for about a week, it doesn't seem like they miss me anyways.

We all took a seat in the living room and had a conversation. I stayed quiet the whole time. Whenever someone would direct a question towards me I'd answer in an "yes" or "no" fashion. Austin was staring at me like I was prey, I shifted uncomfortably in my seat but I couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Dorito could you stop looking at me like I'm a fresh piece of meat?" I spat at him. I heard the others around me gasp. My mother stood up glaring at me and turned towards the Mahones.

"Well what a pleasant conversation! I'm sorry if my daughter said anything ignorant, she's very tired isn't that right sweetie?" She looked at me expectantly, she gonna kill me this time, I know it.

"Yes I had a very busy day today, thank you for coming over, I hope we can see each other again." Lies, they are all lies, every word that came from my mouth was just a coverup.

Shortly after the Mahones left which I was singing hallelujah in my head for it finally happening, my mother turned towards me, anger showing in her eyes. If this was a cartoon her face would be red and steam would be coming out of her ears.

"Never have a seen such unpredictable behaviour from you Y/FN!" Damn she used my full name. That means she's gonna blow up any minute now. "You have embarrassed your father and I. We expect you to clean up your act if you want to take over the family business some day." I clenched my fists, now that was too far. He will never be my dad and I will never take over that business.

"He's not my father. Dad would have never let you treat me like this." I said in a small voice.

For a split second, I thought I saw guilt and sadness in my mothers eyes, but she hid her face and stormed upstairs. Leaving me with Rob.

The man dragged me into the kitchen and slammed his fists on the counter. He walked up towards me and got close to my face. To a point of where I could smell his disgusting breath. He breathed heavily and stared me down.

"Now why the fuck would you do that you little shit! You think that's funny? I'LL SHOW YOU FUNNY!" He raised his fist and punched me right in my nose.

But it didn't hurt. I didn't feel one ounce of pain. I saw his hand collide with my face but received no pain. In a matter of seconds he screeched in pain.

"What the hell?! My fucking hand! I think you broke it! You're a goddamn freak!" I hurt him? But he was the one that hit me, what the fuck?

He grabbed a frying pan with his good hand and swung it right at my shoulder. The black pan broke into about 5 pieces and landed on the floor. Once again, I felt no pain.

Rob stumbled back, for the first time I saw fear in his eyes. Before he could say anything I rushed to the front door of the house but before I was out I heard footsteps rushing down the stairs. My mother must've heard, pfft, she probably won't believe him. Standing at the door I made I quick decision. I ran as fast as I could up the stairs passing my worried mother, going into my room and grabbing my wallet, backpack and keys.

I collapsed onto the motel bed, inhaling deeply. I managed to get out of the house and drive over to a motel that was cheap and a place where my mother would least expect me to be. She'd think I'd go to a friends house or stay at an expensive 5 star hotel. But no, I'm going to stay away from them for tonight.

I walked over to the mini kitchen, grabbing a fork from the drawer. Let's see if this works. I held the fork in one hand and put the other hand on the table. Raising the fork, I closed my eyes and brought the fork down to my hand at full force. I immediately opened my eyes and stared down at the fork. It was all bent up and twisted a little. Okay, more weird stuff happening, I can turn invisible and have indestructible skin. This can't be possible, this only happens in the comic books, I'm not that special. All I am is a girl who can play a couple instruments and loves food.

This is too much, I need to sleep, maybe sleep will help. I have school tomorrow anyways. I got ready for bed and laid down onto the soft mattress.

Right when I was about to drift off I remembered something.

I have a date with Camila tomorrow. Fuck, I need to start planning.

I shot up from my bed when the perfect idea emerged to my head. I smirked and took out my phone, dialing the number that I had memorized ages ago.

Baker Girl is going to have the best date she's ever had.
