Camilla's POV

We are 2 weeks away from Christmas and I really hoped the warehouse would be fixed by then. We went to visit it last month and the damage was done but we just didn't bother to think of what do with it next. It was home but we argued a lot on whether it would be safe to go back somewhere the Cobras knew about. Keep in mind it's deep in Los Angeles and right now we are in Lancaster. It's not too far out from home but definitely in range. We hold 5 major unites of 24U in California and this was one of them.

"The explosives were there. Here were the cameras that they held to watch on us." I said pointing everywhere as I tried to step around all the wood on the ground.

"Alicia is dead?" Justin said still in disbelief.

"Was I supposed to keep her alive?" I said.

"No. It's just amazing but weird. Bittersweet feeling." Justin said walking around. Was he mourning? Was I NOT supposed to kill her. I roll my eyes and Justin catches me.

"Saw that." He says and I look down upset at myself. I kick the wood around just playing with it as they look around everywhere.

"So when are we remodeling this?" I ask still looking down.

"The question is are we?" He said and I shot him a look.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"Is it worth remodeling or should we just relocate?" He said.

"Why would we? This is our home. They can't just take that." I said.

"But they sort of did. Admit they won this battle." He says and I cut him off.

"And not the war, yeah blah blah crap." I say annoyed. I walk around annoyed. I walk outside because I needed fresh air. I felt like I could still smell the smoke in the warehouse. It's like the stent would follow me everywhere and it smells horrible. I started to think of the smell for too long when I found myself hurling over and over.

"Cam?" Justin says. I hear him coming over to me when I throw up again. He looks at me weird and I was honestly highly annoyed and stuck with feeling nauseous. He was giving me a headache so I just walked away a once I finished well you know. I sat at my favorite spot by the warehouse. It was a swing by the river. A love seat swing except I was nauseous so I just sat down in front of it. My knees to my chest and the sun over the river. I loved this spot. A drink some water and spit it out to rinse my mouth. Then pop a gum or two in my mouth.

I close my eyes and take a few deep breathes in.

"Babe." Justin says bluntly.

"I'm fine." I say trying to keep my cool. I felt myself ready to throw up again.

A few years spills from my eyes. Not because I was upset but because I was trying so hard not to throw up. My eyes stay closed and Justin wipes my tears.

"Yooo, are you pregnant?" He ask sounding worried.

"Justin just be quite please.." I say looking at him. He gives me a worried look as I go pale. I stand up and hurl in the trash can this time. Justin held my hair back and I was just a huge mess. We both give it a good minute before I do the same as before. Drink water and spit it out and another few pieces of gum.

"Cmon it's cold anyways." Justin says holding onto me. I wasn't fighting him only because I couldn't. I felt like absolute shit. We walk to the van together and I do my best not to get car sick. Thankfully I manage to not throw up but I was nauseous the whole way there. I cried the whole way back to Lancaster. Justin kept asking me what was wrong but I couldn't talk because my head was hurting and I was nauseous. I got a few glares from the others who were with us but they stayed quite. We all thought it was just a basic flu considering it's the middle of December. In fact we never found out. I never went to the doctor.

"Babe. Will we be home for Christmas?" I ask him.

"Can we not just enjoy our 6 month here?" He says pecking my lips.

"I don't mind but Justin I wanna go home." I say cuddling into his chest. He rubs circles onto my back and says the most magical thing ever.

"Everyone goes home tomorrow babe." He says and I look up smiling really happy.

"Really!" I say and he smiles wide and nods yes. I peck his lips. No I slam my lips on his lips. I'm not in charge and I kiss him passionately. It was so deep as our mouths moved in sync. Every once in a while our heads would just shift. He pulls apart and I look at him confused. He laughs and lays me down on the couch. Our lips not moving a bit and eventually all our clothes ended off. What can I say? Oops?

Move in day

"JUSTIN I THOUGHT WE WERE REMODELING NOT EXPANDING WOOOAH!" I say and everyone laughs.

"We now are our own gated community. I had then build a few homes. We are adding more but I agree the kids should be with their families more. So why not keep them here but make it safer." Justin says proudly.

"What about the empty rooms that'll be in there now that those with families will live in their home?" Someone ask.

Justin shrugs his shoulders and says, "Turn them into whatever." With that everyone runs inside. Hugging and giving Justin pecks.
just look at him and wonder.

"How did you have time for them to do this so quick?" I ask.

"It's everyone's Christmas gift and that's all I'm going to say." Justin says pecking my lips. I jump on his back and he takes me inside. Who knew a bad boy could be so sweet.
