Summer camp

10 - the threat revealed

EMMA'S POV
~~~~~~~~~~

I look at KY pacing around the room tugging away at his gorgeous hair. He looks worried. Not the kind of worried it is when you have to get a shot or take your math test, it's the kind of worried when your looking out for someone's life.

"Can you calm down?!" I ask him urgently. I'm scared that if he doesn't restrain himself he is going to kill someone... just like his father did.

KY looks up at me and sighs.
"Your right, I'm sorry. It's just... You don't know what that man is capable of!" He squirms as he speaks.

"I have plenty of idea's!" I reassure him letting the sarcasm leak into my voice. I turn around to spot Zach eyeing us with a smirk on his face. Great! That's the last thing I need. My brothers torture methods.

I look back at KY his green eyes reflecting the grass. I stand up and tug him by the hood in a unladylike manner until we're out of Zach sight. He raises his eyebrow.

"What are you--" he starts to say before I press my lips to his. It's a way I've discovered to make him forget about the rest of the world.

I pull back to see his confused yet pleased expression. I ruffle his hair walking away and leaving him with his thoughts.

I walk down the sandy path towards the beach and see a flyer pinned to the wooden post near the campground map.

I gasp as I observe the flyer. Skimming over the details I feel a huge smile creep its way up to my face.

"So... you gonna do it?" I spin around on my heel and see Jace standing against the lamp post arms crossed over his chest.

"Yea... if I don't have a panic attack!" I grin listening to his laugh. No wonder Bianca likes this guy. But I could never like someone other than KY.

"Bianca talks about you a lot, and says that if you didn't have stage fright you would be a famous singer by now!" He exclaims as if he doesn't know how hard it is to sing in front of an audience.

"I don't know--" I start but he shushes me with his hand.

"We'll see." He says before walking away. I take a picture of the flyer with my rose gold iPhone 6s and continue towards the beach.

I stop in my tracks and see a tall figure sitting under the willow tree which I prefer to be near.

He turns around and I take a moment to examine him. He looks like an exact replica of KY but older. His dark brown hair is waving in the wind and his dark green eyes blaze and he gives me smirk.

"You must be his newest fling. You know he will leave you the second he finds someone better!" He mumbles and the worst part? He just mouthed my biggest fear.

"No! KY would never do such a thing!" I pipe up defending my boyfriend.

"Oh you stupid girl! Don't you realize that that's what he is? He's a player! He doesn't care about you! He never will! So take it from me and stay away from him. You might like him, but I've seen what that boy can do to girls! He breaks their hearts! Their souls! So stay away or I'll kill him!" He hisses through clenched teeth his eyes boring into me.

I gasp wondering if he could actually kill his own son. I slowly back away and he advances on me. "You can't kill him!" I whisper believing every word he said about KY not caring.

"I can do whatever I please!" He growls.

"Stay away from her!" Someone yells in the distance but I zone out and fall to my knees.

I feel someone pulling me by the waist and slinging me over their shoulder.

"It's ok... it will be ok..."

• next morning •

Light. It's so bright I can't even open my eyes. Clutching the blanket tightly over my head I hear people whispering.

I open my eyes and see Bianca arguing quietly with KY. Suddenly the events from last night come flooding back like a movie.

KY's dad telling me KY never has and never will love me. Threatening me to stay away from him or he WILL kill him.

Bianca notices that I'm awake and whispers something to KY that makes him turn around looking at me with sadness in his eyes. Then he turns around and walks right out of the trailer.

Bianca walks over and gives me a tight hug.

"I don't expect you to answer, but do you want to tell me what happened?" I sigh giving a slight nod.

"If you promise not to tell KY!" I inform her. She smiles.

"Of course."

I tell her about KY's dad and how he knows that KY doesn't love me or care for me, that if I don't stay away he will kill him.

At the end she looks so mad and pissed off that I think her head will fly off.

"You have to break up with him." She says quietly. "As much as I think you two are perfect for one another you can't risk his life.

"I know." She right. I can't put KY's life in the line just so we can be together.

She hugs me a again and gives me a reassuring squeeze.

"Do it now so it won't hurt as much." She says as she too walks out of the trailer.

I slip on some grey sweatpants and and white tank top. Sliding out the door I find KY skipping stones on the clear lake water.

He senses movement and his face brakes into a smile.

"Hello Princess" he says in low voice. I smile but I know he can tell that it's forced.

His smile disappears and his eyes glaze over.

"What did he say to you?!" He says the anger leaking into his voice.

"I'm afraid I can't tell you... But I can't do this anymore... at least not right now... I'm sorry KY but were over." I say and the tears slip out.

He pulls me close for one last kiss and then falls to the ground holding me in his arms and I can feel his body shake with each sob.

What have I done?
