23.09 PM  STEEL MANSION
Mia
"How was work today? You look tired?" I asked while working on some papers. Jake and I have been video chatting for hours. "Things are tough but I'm working on it how about you?" He asked resting his head on his pillow. "I'm buying the hospital" I said waiting for his reaction. "Wait what? Mia that is so fast"
"Are you sure about this?" He asked.
"I don't see any choice I have to do this" I said when all of a sudden I heard a loud noise. It was a sound odd a window being broken. "What was that?" Jake asked looking very worried. "I don't know" I got off the bed and looked through the window to see three black Jeeps with several men. They were doing something in the yard in front the house.

"Mia what is going on there?"

"Mia?"

"Fucking talk to me" Jake kept panicking more than me.

"What the hell?" I said as I walked downstairs as quickly as I could. I switched on the light and stepped outside the house. They were already gone. "Mia?" My father came running following by mum.

I walked in the garden to see nothing. "Do you see something?" Dad asked.
"Nothing" I kept looking with difficulties because of the dark, wondering where the hell are all those bodyguards and watchmen. See nothing suspicious I turned to return when I noticed something on the wall. I pointed my light to it to reveal a huge note spraying with the colour Red. "You got to be kidding me?" I shouted while everyone lifted their head to see the note.

"The hospital is ours. Touch it and you'll regret it" Mom read it. I stood still knowing exactly who is behind this. The Godfrey will pay for this. Mom was about to walk near the wall to see if it is washable when I noticed pieces of broken bottles on the floor. This explain the loud noise of glass.

"Mom watch out" I acted quickly to avoid her getting hurt. I grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
I looked at her as she immediately stepped back. "This is your mess. Fix it" she snapped and walked inside.
"Don't worry about her" Dad said and gave me a good night kiss on the forehead.

Next morning
I entered the office to see a bunch of lawyers in my meeting room. I gave my stuff to Monroe and entered the room. "Good morning people may I help you?" I asked and they all just kept staring at me. "Miss Steel we are here on behalf of Mr Godfrey. This is about the Case of the hospital. Mr Godfrey wants to offer you a price for dropping the case." A short man with black suit explained.

"I'm afraid I cannot do that" I said looking straight at them. "Do you think these charges will be valid in court with you having no proof?" another one asked angrily. "Oh I do have proof. You client used to be part of one of the most biggest drug dealing company in America. He stole expensive technologies and God knows what he is doing in this hospital" I waved my hands in the air.

"I understand but you need to stepped back on this you are only making it difficult here" the lawyer said with a serious tone. "Just because you say the same thing you've been saying in a more serious face won't make me say yes" I snapped angrily. "But Miss Steel..."

"I think you should leave now." I said as I walked outside closing the door roughly.

"Wow have I ever told you that you look cute when you are angry?" Cameron smiled. "I don't know why but for the first time I think I'm happy to see your face." I said sarcastically.
"God since when are you friends?" Nash came out of nowhere. "I heard someone broke into your property last night?" They both followed me to the elevator.

"They were the Godfrey." I smirked.
"I told you this was a bad idea" Cameron said loudly. "Unless you have a better option?" I gave him a death glare. We waited for the elevator. "Look I know you are in a lot of pressure but can I ask you something?" Nash asked while Cameron kept listening to us.

"I was looking forward to invite you and Sam for a dinner at out place this sunday" He asked. God can we stop with this. Everytime I heard this name my body tremble. Why is this happening. We entered the elevator.
"We haven't had an actual talk since the incident" Cameron looked at me.

"Oh I see what you are doing here? If you both think that we will just be best friends like before well your wrong. And don't ever talk about the incident because we all know what happened that night" I said angrily and looked at Cameron especially at the last part.
Once the elevator opened i stormed to my car. "Wait Mia?" Cameron ran after me as Nash returned upstairs knowing how things were getting worst.
"Mia stop for a second"

"Talk to me!" He kept on shouted while I just didn't care. I just wanted to go back home. "DO YOU EVER HEAR ME OUT?"  Cameron shouted ad he grabbed my hand tightly. He was seriously hurting me. "JUST STOP IT CAMERON! I shouted back. He let go of my hands looking at me. "STOP INTERFERING IN MY LIFE OK..YOU DON'T GET TO DO THAT ANYMORE" I Yelled. "Stop shouting Mia!" He warned me. "OR WHAT CAMERON? UGH YOU GONNA PUSH ME? YOU GONNA PIN ME AGAIN TO A WALL... BECAUSE  TRUST ME IF YOU DO THAT I WON'T HESITATE TO PUT A BULLET IN YOUR HEAD RIGHT NOW?" I shouted again as I pushed him away from me. "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU MIA?" He asked turning around running his fingers in his hair.  I needed to get out of their so just as I was about to open the door Cameron grabbed my hand and pulled me. He then pinned me roughly against my range rover with his hands blocking my way out. We were both angry. I now regret what I said.

"Get off Cameron" I warned calming down. "Talk to me love" He looked me in the eyes as I turned away my head. I wanted to cry so much.
Being near Cameron remind me about all those years we were together. All those moments together. 

"I'm sorry Mia" his voice cracked as he looked at the floor. I avoid looking at him. I was trying so hard to control my emotions but I guess I failed. "Let go of me Cameron..... please" I said with tears falling down my cheeks. I felt so weak.

We stayed like things for some seconds when stepped away. I stood still trying to breath. When he stepped forward and hugged me. God I've missed this. I rested my head in his chest. It felt so safe. I felt his hand on my back hugging me tightly. I wish this never ends.

But then I realised what was happening. This isn't right. I closed my eyes and all I could think was him standing and doing nothing while these men in black mask shoot my brother.

"No... no" I quickly pulled away and got in my car while Cameron stood still in pain.

I quickly switched on the engine and drove as quickly as possible. Once on the road I pulled over the road and took a deep breath.

"FUCK...  FUCK... AHHHHHHHH" I yelled in the car while tears fell down.
