Loving Insanity

Chapter 14

Cameron's P.O.V.

I kept calling Lamia, telling her to come out. I knew she could hear me. I sighed, realizing she won't come out. I walked into the nearest room and sat on the bed. I placed my head in my hands.

" don't worry, she'll come out eventually. This isn't the first time she's snapped at someone then ran off. She's just feeling guilty and upset." I heard someone say. I looked to see Danielle. " I'm going to go downstairs and try to knock some sense into Ethan." she said and I nodded. She walked away and I sighed.

" Lamia, if you can hear me, please come out. Show me you're okay. Let me see your beautiful face, hear you're beautiful voice. Just-" I chocked on my tears. " just please come out." I placed my head back in my hands. I sat there for a while before I felt something press against my side. I looked to see the calico cat I've come to love. I smiled and picked her up. She purred as I laid back and placed her on my chest. " you had me so worried, Lamia." I said as she licked my cheek. She meowed and jumped off of me. I sighed as she turned into her neko form. I got up and hugged her.

" I'm sorry." she said, her voice barely audible, as she hugged back. I pulled away enough to look at her face. I reached up and wiped away her tears with the pad of my thumb.

" it's okay, Lamia. It's not your fault." I told her and she sighed. She buried her face in my neck and I kissed her head.

" I didn't mean to snap, I just-" she started to sob and I held her closer. I kept telling her that it's okay and that everything will be fine. She finally calmed down and wiped her tears away. She looked up at me and we made eye contact. She blushed as I kissed her forehead.

" let's go downstairs." I told her and she nodded. I kept my arm wrapped around her shoulder and she leaned into my side a bit. We slowly walked downstairs to see Ethan sitting on the couch while Danielle and Adrian lectured him. They stopped and looked at me and Lamia. I reluctantly let go. Adrian ran to Lamia and hugged her as Danielle continued to lecture Ethan. I walked over to them and cut off Danielle.

" okay, listen up jackass. You had no right to snap at Lamia and I don't give a shit how mad you were. I'm not trying to make you feel guilty, I'm just warning you. If you ever snap at her again, I will make sure that you rue the day you were born." I said, my voice deadly. He gulped and Danielle placed a hand on my shoulder.

" I think he gets it." she said. " do you mind if I talk to you alone for a moment?" I looked over at Lamia to see her walking over to Ethan. I shook my head.

" no I don't mind." I said. Danielle lead me outside and shut the door.

" I can tell you love her and I want you to do me a favor." she said and I nodded. " keep her safe. She trusts you and I can see that. I need you to protect her because I know I can't. I'm not always gonna be there for her but you can be. I'm asking you to be her rock."

" I will." I said and smiled at Danielle. " by the way, you were right when you said that I love her." I admitted and she smiled at me and we went back inside. Darren walked over to us.

" they made up." he told us. I looked around him to see Lamia laugh. I smiled and walked over to her.

" Lamia, we're gonna have to go soon." I told her and she sighed. Ethan and Adrian hugged her. She said her goodbyes and shifted into a human. We walked out the house and to the woods. As we walked through the woods, Lamia stayed silent. I sighed.

" can you help me with something when we get back?" she asked. I nodded.

" what is it?" I asked.

" steal some of Masky's cheesecake then frame Jeff for it." she said and giggled.

" sure I'll help you." I laughed. We soon got to the mansion. Masky, Hoodie, and EJ were on the couch watching TV. Lamia snuck into the kitchen and came back out with the whole cheesecake. We went upstairs and towards Jeff's room. His door was open and he was sleeping on his bed. He had his sleeping mask on. Lamia silently went in and placed the cheesecake on his nightstand. She silently came back out and dragged me down the hall and into her room.

" now here's where you come in. I need an alibi and I think you can help me with that." she said and I started thinking. I suddenly got an idea.

" let's paint your walls." I said. She nodded. I quickly ran out and down the hall to a supply closet. Lamia followed me. " pick out any colors you want." I said as I opened the closet. She looked through the paints.

" pale blue, black, red, and white." she said and grabbed two buckets of paint along with some paintbrushes. I grabbed some plastic covering and grabbed the other two buckets. We walked back to her room and put down the supplies. Lamia shut and locked the door before turning into her neko form. We started covering everything in plastic. Then, Lamia used her Bowie knife to open all the cans and opened her bedroom window. We both grabbed paintbrushes. " let's do a base coat of pale blue then use the black, white, and red to customize it." she said.

" okay." I said and got to work. Lamia put her blonde hair in a ponytail and started painting a different wall. We finished with the blue and waited for it to dry. We laughed as we heard Masky yelling at Jeff. Once the blue paint dried, we got smaller paint brushes. She started painting a small target on the wall across from her bed. I smirked and dipped my finger in the pale blue paint. After she finished her target, she looked at me and I wiped the paint on her nose. She growled. " hey, blue looks good on you." I said and laughed. she suddenly wiped some paint on my cheek and giggled.

" and red looks good on you." she said as she smirked. l tackled her and held her down as I wiped some more blue paint on her cheek. She giggled and wiped some more red paint on my forehead.

" you're gonna pay for that." I whispered.

" oh? How much?" she whispered back, being sarcastic. I smirked.

" it'll cost you one kiss." I whispered then kissed her. She melted and wrapped her arms around my neck, deepening the kiss. I held the kiss for as long as I could before pulling away for air. I placed my forehead against hers as she blushed.

" Cameron," she whispered.

" hmm." I hummed.

" i-i love you." she stuttered and pulled me into another kiss. When we pulled away again, I smiled at her.

" I love you too." I said and she smiled at me. " why don't we finish up?" she nodded and we got up. I got an idea. I dipped my finger in red paint and drew half of a heart on the door. Lamia smiled and dipped her finger in the pale blue paint then finished the heart. She turned into a human again and smiled at me. We walked out of her room and went to go clean up.
