Silently Screaming

Chapter Twelve (Halloween Edition! :D)

Two weeks later, and she's still pissed at me. That night, after hours of banging and begging, she finally unlocked the door. She had duct taped a line separating her part of the room and mine. She had set a note on my bed, and I had hesitantly read it.

Joshua,

You are not to cross the line except to use the bathroom, and exit our room. Don't try apologizing for creeping, because I won't accept it anytime soon. If you do cross the line, literally and figuratively, I will make sure you get a different room, or maybe a different house.

So you sure as hell better stay in line.

-Camber

I hadn't wanted to be sent away, so I did as she instructed. Two weeks later, and it's still like this. Carol and Jerry are bound to catch on sometime. That's the last thing I want, I actually like it here.

CAMBER POV

It's Halloween, and everyone is out, at parties or trick or treating. I haven't been trick or treating since before my parents death, when I was four. 

Laying on my bed in old sweatpants, and an over-sized hoodie, I stare at Josh's side. I know I may have gone a little overboard about him finding my sketch book, but I was pissed at the time. Pissed at the fact that he had snooped, and a little embarrassed at the fact that he had seen his eyes. The ones in the back of the book, the only ones in color.

I had locked him out, and written the note, nearly shaking with fury. After he had read it, I felt a little bad. I didn't mean to threaten or blackmail him, it just came out. 

The look he had given me after reading it, made my heart break a little. It was wrong to do what I did, and I knew it, I just couldn't get the strength to remove the tape, and write him an apology.

So here I am, on Halloween, home alone, thinking of a guy I barely know, whose out partying with a bunch of sluts. He left about two hours ago with Lzzy and Arejay dressed as the Mad Hatter.

Sighing, I stand up, grab my phone off my desk, and head downstairs. I text Ivori, letting her know I'm okay.

IVORI POV

 Josh, Lzzy, and Arejay are some of the last people to show up at the party. After he had stormed out, I felt a little bad about ragging on my best friend. They don't know that I do it for her own good. Carol would constantly nag her about me if she knew we were friends. That's why it's a secret. 

"Hey you guys!" I smile at Josh, he returns it with a small smile. We had gotten back on good terms after I apologized, and we became friends fast.

I want more than friends.

"Hey Ive." Arejay's eyes are glued to my boobs, which are for show in my bodice. I had gone as a sexier version of Alice from Alice in Wonderland for Halloween, and the guys have definitely been noticing. The push up bra helps also.

 "How's it going Jay-Jay?" I hug him lingeringly, and brush my lips across his ear. He may be no Josh, but it's Halloween and I haven't gotten laid in a while. He shivers, and I know this will be easy. 

Too easy.

LZZY POV

"How's it going Jay-Jay?" She brushes her lips along my brothers ear, and I resist the urge to call her dirty names.

 I know she knows Camber. I know Camber thinks Ivori is her best friend. So, when she started bashing her the other week, I got sort of mad. Sure, I said some stuff, but that was just a test.

She failed.

I care for Camber, and I don't want Ivori to screw her over. I did it to protect Camber.
