Desire 2

Chapter Forty-One

IM JUST GOING TO PUT IT OUT THERE THAT THIS WAS THE HARDEST AND MOST EMOTIONAL CHAPTER FOR ME TO WRITE. IT HONESTLY BROKE MY HEART AND BROUGHT ME TO TEARS SEVERAL TIMES SO YEAH. JUST WANTED TO WARN YOU. PLEASE COMMENT, VOTE AND ENJOY (:

We decided to walk to the pool bar but took our sweet time getting there considering that Destiny was drunk and I was wasted. We stepped into the elevator, to which I stumbled and fell into Toby's arms. I saw a quick glance between him and Colton before Colton let out a small laugh and pulled Destiny closer to him before nibbling at the back of her ear.

We stepped out onto the Lido deck to where I saw the bar and quickly took a seat, feeling that I if I didn't, I'd surely pass out. I turned my head slightly to see Austin and the rest of the guys sitting at some lawn chairs and three out of four holding a beer.

I caught Austin's gaze before Toby came and sat next to me. Austin, catching a glimpse of Toby's hand on my thigh, made a disgusted face as Alex threw his hand on Austin's back.

I sat up as Toby pushed a shot of something towards me as he placed one in front of him. The two of us tossed it back and that's the last I remember of that night.

*Austin's POV*

This was bullshit. I know that leaving her was a mistake and that it was going to take a lot to get back to the people we were before and the relationship we had but come on. She was a mess. I mean she was literally so drunk and sloppy and it was kind of sad for me to watch. I knew what it was like to feel like that. Alone, sad, upset, broken, and I wanted to fix her. If only she'd let me.

"I fucking hate those guys," Zach spat into the discussion.

"I'm not even involved with either of them but those guys want one thing from them and one thing only," Alex stated, hate present in his voice.

"Tell me those aren't hickeys," Robert demanded.

"Where?" I almost yelled.

"The one with Cam. Look at his neck. There's like ten," Robert finished.

"Dammit, Cam," I stated, my voice cracking in anger.

I sat back and sipped onto my beer and watched as Cam laughed at the guy's every word before he slipped his hand under the bottom of her dress.

"What the hell?" Robert yelled.

"Guys, I'm seriously about to beat this guy's ass," I laughed, "I told her I wouldn't ruin her trip but I'm not gonna let her do something stupid like this,"

Just in that moment, the guy with Destiny suddenly pushed himself on top of her, his lips crashing onto hers.

"Oh hell no," Robert laughed, standing, only to be pulled down by Zach.

"Dude, you can't go over there. It's only gonna make it worse for you two," Zach told Robert.

"So, I'm just supposed to sit here and watch her with some other guy?" he spoke, immediately wishing he could take back the words.

I cringed at the awkward, considering that we were still in the middle of getting past a huge a fight.

"Basically," Zach laughed.

The guy seated next to Cam pushed his hand further up the side of her dress to which she tried to push him away. The expression on her face fell as he kept trying to force his hands on her. I felt my face getting hot and my hands forming into fists as the both of the guys tried to grip onto the girls legs, the girls fighting their hands off the best they could.

"Okay, fuck this," Alex laughed, standing as we followed him.

We walked towards them, hearing Cam yell for the guy to get off of her and her fail miserably.

"Hey asshole," Alex began to the guy next to Cam, "she said to back off,"

"Excuse me this really isn't any of your business so why don't you back off?" he laughed, suddenly feeling cocky.

Robert ripped Destiny away from the other guy's grip and pulled her behind him as Alex, Zach and I stood in front of Cam and the guy.

"Excuse me but she doesn't want your hands on her so," Zach yelled, his voice becoming deep.

"Come here, Cam," I spoke softly, sticking my hand out for her to grab.

She stood and nearly fell over before beginning towards me only to be pulled back by the other guy now.

"Get off of me!" she yelled, panicked and afraid.

"I'm gonna tell you one more time to get off of her," I spoke slowly.

"Or what Mahoney," one laughed as Cam glared up at him, "You gonna hit me?"

"No but I will," Zach stated, throwing a quick punch across one's jaw in enough time to pull Cam away from them and back to me and throw another punch at the other guy.

"Hey! Break it up!" The bartender yelled as we all fled from the two guys who were on the ground at this point.

We rushed into the interior of the boat and into a nearby elevator as Cam slumped onto my shoulder. I felt her hair fall onto my back as I wrapped my hands around her back to keep her upright as I realized what I'd done. I broke her and made her into this person. If I had just stayed back with her instead of running away like a scared little boy, we wouldn't be in this position right now. It hit me all of a sudden as I felt the tears appear in my eyes as I fought to keep them still. She was such a mess and God only knows what else she'd been through tonight. The sight of her like this shattered my heart into a milion pieces and there was nothing I could do to fix it.

Alex reached over and gave the end of her dress, which was now pushed up showing a piece of her underwear, a tug to cover up the disclosed piece of her leg. Her head bobbed over to the side, exposing about six hickeys along her jawline as I couldn't hold it anymore. I felt my head fall against hers as her eyes remained closed while tears fell uncontrollably from mine. I felt Alex push the stop button on the elevator and step closer to Cam and I as I held my head against hers. I looked up to see Alex push a kiss onto Cam's forehead and Zach stand with his hand over his mouth and what looked like tears in his eyes as Robert gripped onto an asleep Destiny with sincere eyes and felt Alex's hand land on my back.

"I did this to her," I cried, my hand gripping onto the side of her face.

"No you didn't Austin. You can't blame yourself for this," Robert spoke.

"I'm so sorry, baby," I sobbed into her neck, "I'm sorry that I left you when you needed me. I'm just so sorry. I love you so much,"

"Austin, it's okay," Zach spoke, his voice shaky.

"No, it's not! Look at her! She's a complete wreck! I did this to her!" I cried onto her head, "I'm sorry, Cam,"

I trailed off for a few minutes, speaking all of this to someone who surely wouldn't remember this in the morning as the guys watched, knowing there was nothing that they could say or do to help either of us at this point.
