Deadly Infatuation

Chapter 16

Chapter 16

Saying goodbye to my family was hard, the girls clung to me as Cam packed our things in Laneys car. They cried and begged Cam and I not to leave them. I told them I would see them again at Christmas break, which was less than a month away, but that fact didn't make leaving any easier. J.J. hugged me tightly, saying goodbye to me, which was something I was not expecting. He shook Cams hand and told us both that he would miss us, shocking me again, before heading back inside.

My parents hugged us both before prying my little sisters off of me. As Laney backed us out of the drive way, tears flowed freely from my eyes as I watch my family wave goodbye. Cam held my hand tightly, trying to comfort me the best he could. I layed my head on his chest and listened to his steady heart beat. The further we got from my family, the more anxious I became. I felt safe with Cam yes, but at the same time I feared for him. Lucas is crazy and theres no telling what he could do.

The drive went faster than I wanted it too, and soon we were pulling back into the drive way of our little grey apartment. The sun had set as we all unloaded our things from the car, Cam kissed me goodbye as he climbed into his own truck and headed home for the night, but only after I assured him that I would be fine. Before he left he grabbed my hand and slid a cold hard metal object into it. "Just incase something happens and I'm not here. Keep it with you at all times okay?" he said kissing me again before driving away.

In my hand was his pocket knife, long and sharp, it made me feel a little safer to have it with me. I slipped it into my jeans and dragged my suitcase inside.

Walking into my room I could feel something was off. It stopped feeling like home after Lucas broke in, but this was a new feeling. The air should have been empty since we were gone for a week, but instead, it felt like someone had just been there. There was a chill in my room that I have never felt before. I opened the knife and held it clsoe as I searched my entire room. After checking the bathroom and coming up empty thats when I noticed it.

Laying on my pillow was a note and a Lily painted blood red. He had been in here, without reading the note I know who it was from. With a shakey hand and my heart in my throat I opened the letter to see what Lucas had written. In the letter was four simple words, words that made my blood run cold. "You will be mine" is all he had to write for me to forget the amazing week I had just had with my family.

I run to our apartments front door and latch the dead bolt,after making sure its locked I go and make sure the backdoor is also locked. Once back nto my room I lock my window andpuch my dresser infront of it, blocking anyway for him to get inside. I went to Lanyes room hoping to talk to her about whats been going on but when I looked in her room she was sound asleep. So I am left to my own thoughts of Cam and Lucas once more. I loved Cam and the way I feel when I am with him is amazing, I know we are meant to be together.

Lucas won't let me go though, something in him won't let him leave me. I don't know what he wants with me, but it can'tbe good. I know that he loves me in his own sick way, but hes dangerous. I take a hot shower to help clear my head, letting the water soak away my worry. The water starts to run cold, indicating that I've been too long. I get out and throw on an old T shirt and a ratty pair of boxer shorts and crawl into bed. The sheets are soft and invition as they lay on my skin. My matters that I've had for years, forms to my body. and with my hand under my pillow griping Cams knife, I'm asleep in a matter of minuets.

A rough jerk wakes me up as I land on my cold bedroom floor. My head broke my fall, disorenting me even more than I already was. Looking straihgt ahead at what should have been my ceiling, a figure of a person is standing over me. "What the hell-" Is all I could get out before something wet dripped onto my face. The person standing above me lets whatever it is continue to drip onto me, in the moonlight streaming in through the littel space between my dressor and window. The liquid looks red, I reach up whipping it off of my face and thats when I smell it.

The distinct scent of blood, and thats when I see the long silver blade hanging above me, covered in it. " I told you, that you wouyld be mine." Lucas said from above me, he yanked me up from the floor making my head spin. I'm confused but not enough to forget about the blood. "Lucas whose blood is that?" I asked as he pulled me into the living room, following the trail of blood.

"You locked your windows Lily, but not Laneys. She was ever so kind to have let me in. She paid the price for your stupidity." He said snarling at me. I felt my whole world come crashing down around me. No not Laney, she couldn't be dead! Not my bestfriend! She's dead because of me, this is all my fault. It felt like my heart was being squeezed tighter, the feeling so sharp and so real, it took my breath away. I could no longer breath, and I realized that I didn't want too.

I was numb, like a rag doll Lucas has to drag around. He pulled me into her room where she laid face down on the floor, a pool of blood trickling out of her stomach.  Her dark brown hair was like a curtain, covering her face, hiding her pain from me. I felt it though, I felt her pain and I would give anything to take it all away. She was my bestfriend, since elementary school she has had my back, but I didn't have hers. Now she's dead because of me.

Rage filled the void and pain in my body, I screamed at the top of my lungs. I kicked and clawed, hitting anything that came my way. I knew my scream was effecting Lucas, so I screamed louder. Once solid blood curdling scream lasting as long as it possible could, till the air was out of my lungs. When I ran out of air, I sucked in a lungful and kept screaming.

His hand shifted from my arm to my hair, holding a large clump of it firmly. "If you don't stop you'll have it worse." He yelled over my scream, So I screamed louder. With his hand firmly gripping my hair he pressed my face against the blood soaked ground of Laneys room. I was now facing her lifeless body and suddenly I was flooded with a sorrow that washed out my rage. Her body losing all its color, as the blood slowly trickled from her stomach that had one thick line across it. Her blood poured onto the once off white carpet, now turned a dark crimson as the blood began to dry. There was no chance of saving her, no matter how bad I wanted to, she was already gone. Uncontrollable sobs racked my body, until he pulled my head back to look at him.

When I met his eyes through the tears of my own, I saw what I thought was an internal struggle going on behind them. I saw him fighting with himself, I prayed the Lucas I loved, would push through and stop this. A moment later second my hope was diminished as I watched the good side of him falter and be replaced with evil side. The monster was in control now.

In his free hand he pulled out a syringe, taking the cap of with his teeth. Fear doubled through me as I realized what he was going to do next, knowing that all hope would be lost if he stuck me. "No, Lucas please don't do this!" I begged "I'm sorry Lily, but you are mine. Forever." I fought with what little strength I had left, determined not to give in. Except my feeble attempts at blocking the syringe were to no avail. I watched him sink the needle deep into the side of my thigh injecting  me with the medication. My limbs went numb and I felt my brain start slipping in and out of conciseness. He let go of me, knowing I wasn't going to put up a fight now. Still face down in Laney's blood. I feel him pull my limp body off the ground, carefully positioning me to look at him, and the last thing I saw was Lucas with tears streaming down his face before my eyes shut and my world went black.
