Cameron's P.O.V

I ran down stairs to the living room to grab my camera. As I was walking up I stopped and watched Skye sitting on my bed warming up her voice and I thought to myself, Gosh she is just amazing...I wished she saw what I see, I walk in and she stops and looks at me. "Oh you weren't joking, I'm not making a video...I look like a mess" I cut her off before she puts herself down even more. "Ok what about this we make a video and then we watch it and see if it's good or not and then delete if it's not good, deal?" she smiled and nodded yes. "Let me practice first" she said started getting out her lyric sheets and as she got ready I quickly pushed record before she notice it. she cleared her throat and began singing: "Boy I know you're dangerous You're not the one I'm supposed to loveBut this is more than just a crush, tonight So I'm gonna tell my mama 'bout ya, I'm gonna tell my mama 'bout ya , I'm gonna tell my mama 'bout ya" she started humming along the song and I could not help but get lost in her voice. She picks up again and starts singing again, "Hey-yeah, oh, yeah

Lock myself in my room, called you up on the phone, Don't know why I hung up, soon as you said hello" and then she ended the song with "I'm gonna tell my mama 'bout ya" she looked up and gave a half smile and asked, "How was that?" I smiled, "Why don't you look for yourself" I handed her the camera and she pressed play. She watched the whole video and made a weird face through the whole video. "What, you don't like it?" she looked up and was still making the same face. "I look and sound horrible...you are going to delete this now" she handed me back the camera and got up and put on her shoes. "Okay and where are you going?" she said it's the day before Christmas eve and I know my family does not even know I'm not there but I still have to go home" I set down the camera and walked her home. As we made it to the front door I forgot something and ran back up stairs and grabbed a little white box with a red bow. I slipped it in my inside jacket pocket and meet her back downstairs at the front door. "Ready now?" I nodded and walked her to my car. We drove in silence and the white box was burning a hole in my pocket. As we pulled up to her house I quickly ran over and opened the door for her. She smiled and nodded in thanks. I grabbed her arm and she looked back at me with that smile of hers, "Yes, do you want something?" I looked away quickly before she saw me blushing. "Um...yeah here don't open this until tomorrow at midnight at the earliest" I pulled out the white box and placed it in her hand and quickly hurried back to my car.

Chloe's P.O.V

I woke up from the nap me and Jake took and saw Jake still sleeping holding Nolan's pillows. I looked around and didn't see Nolan. I thought to myself, good now I get Jake to myself for awhile instead of that little bastard always getting it, I snuggled closer to Jake and I felt him waking up. "How was your nap, beautiful" Jake said looking at me half asleep. He kissed my forehead and I giggled, "Good how was yours?" he pulled me closer, "Better now that I have you and Nolan-" he cut himself off and quickly sat up. "Where is Nolan?" he jumped out of bed and raced out to the living room. I sigh and get out of the bed and threw on my shoes and followed his lead. As I walked out of the bed room I see Jake holding Nolan like he lost him for years. I walk to the front door and pick up my keys and hear Jake say, "Where are you going, did you just come over to sleep with me...I feel so used" I turn to see him behind me smiling. "No it's not that, I just have a shoot today and I see you have some family time you want to have before you go back on tour" he hugged me and kissed me and asked if he could drive me home I shook my head no and he walked me down to the lobby's entrance. He hugged and kissed me one more time before I left to go home.

I finally arrive to my condo and I put my key in and unlock my door. As I walk in there was the last person I wanted to see sitting on my couch. "Well hello there Chloe long time no see" he said standing up. "What do you want Tyler, I thought I told you to never see me again after we were done with our last meeting" he laughed and threw his around my waist and hugged me from behind. "I told you to never see me again" he starts kissing my neck. "But I knew you were lying about that, cause I know the real Chloe Carter" I turned and pushed him away, "I love Jake Miller, not you Tyler Roark" he stepped closer, "Chloe but I know you and Jake is not right for you" he kissed my lips and we moved to the bedroom.

Tyler rolled over and laid beside me, "See I know the real Chloe Carter" he sits up on one arm, "Now let me ask you one question do you like my chest or abs more?" he said bouncing he pecks up and down, "Tyler stop I love Jake this was a onetime thing, understand me...Now get out" he sighs, "Oh am I some midnight fling you can just fuck and throw out at any given time" I heard the doorbell but Tyler started kissing my neck, "Did you hear that" I said worried that I did hear the doorbell. "Just ignore it they will go away" after a few minutes of silence my nerves calmed, "See they left" we started to make out when I heard Jake's voice yelling my name out. "Chloe are you home?" I quickly pushed Tyler off me and grabbed my robe. I walked out to Jake. "Um why are you here" Jake hands me flowers and hugs me. "To see you of course, I have texted you all night and you have not answered me" I placed my hand to my head, "Oh sorry I didn't feel good when I got home" Jake stand up and places his hand on my shoulder, "Want me to make you my mom's world's famous chicken noodle soup" "Sounds lovely but all I need is to rest" Jake kissed the top of my head, "Ok I will leave you to rest then" with that he hugged me and left. "Finally you kicked that lame ass out, now where we're we?" we started kissing, and he picked me up bridal style and we headed back into the bedroom.

Skye's P.O.V

Cameron placed a white box in my hand and gave me instructions to not open until tomorrow at midnight at the earliest. After that he ran back to his car and drove off. I just stood there staring at the box in my hand until I heard the front door open behind me. I looked back to see my Dad drunk again. "Get in this fucking house now" he screamed. I just walked right passed him and headed towards my room. He grabbed me by my hair and threw me down. "Don't you walk away from me you bitch" I just laid there as pain spread throughout my body. He picked me up by my arm and threw me over his shoulder. He took me to my room and threw me on my floor and walked out. I ran to my bathroom and locked the door. I stripped down to nothing and started the shower. I grabbed my tool of release and sat down in the tub while the water washed over me. As I sat there and I drag the blade a crossed my leg and watched the blood run down into the water. I slowly dragged the blade a crossed my other leg and just watched the blood run down my legs as I drop the blade into the water. I slowly counted each cut, I counted 24 cuts...12 cuts on each legs. After 15 minutes I got out and covered my body in a towel and walked over to my laptop and checked my social media sites. When I was about to Skype popped up call coming in from Cameron. I answered it:

"Hello Skye, I just wanted to say goodnight before you go to bed"

"Awe thanks Cameron"

"What's wrong Skye?"

"Nothing, Cam"

"Ok, Skye so when are we going to send in that video?"

"Ha your funny...wait what video you said you deleted it...Cam please tell me you deleted it"

"Uh...Yeah I deleted it....Sorry Skye but you need to do this even if I have to send it in myself for you"

"No...you do that I will never speak to you again"

"Well too late I just sent it"

"Cam...Get that video back...NOW""I will hold on....Oh wait; it says they just received the video"

"WHAT Cam don't talk to me again"

I quickly hit the power button and watch as my computer shut down. I ran to my bed and cried, thinking now people have a new reason to make fun of me, when they see that I entered the contest. As I laid there I hear my phone blowing up, I don't check it cause I know it's Cam trying to calm me down but I'm too pissed at him right now. How could he submit that video when I told him not to? I thought he was my friend...the only person I knew would not hurt me but now he is just like everyone else. I just lay there crying tracing the outline of the cuts on my legs with my index finger. I slowly drift in and out of sleep until I lost the fight and blacked out.
