SIX

"About what?" Connor asked studying my face, a disgusted look suddenly covering his features. "Are you drunk, Camila?"

"Maybe." I giggled, only making him pull me inside the house. "What do you think about them?"

"About who?"

"Lucy and Shawn, you dumbass." I chuckled once again as a hiccup escaped my mouth while entering the house in Connor's arms, taking his cologne in. "Mm, you smell so good, boy."

"Camila, I don't really know what to think to be ho-" I suddenly cut him off by pressing my lips on his, following by him freezing on the place he was standing. I let my hands go to the back of his neck to deepen the kiss even more, with the intention of teasing him until the point he couldn't resist me, which unfortunately couldn't work as Connor pushed me off of him, still gently.

"Cam-"

"Connor, I know you want this, baby. Why don't you just do it, huh?" I mumbled as my hands left his neck and decided to rub his biceps through the tight shirt he was wearing. "Don't tell me you're not enjoying it."

"Camila!" Connor took my hand in his, and let it once again go probably because he didn't know where to put it. "You're drunk. Don't do the things you're going to regret when you're sober."

"You think I wanna fuck you just because of the alcohol? Oh, you're so wrong, Connor."

"Camila, I'm sorry, but you're like my sister. And I love Lucy, you know that."

"You love that cheater?!" I suddenly yelled, throwing my phone on the floor. "She doesn't want you anymore, Con, accept it!"

"How can you be so sure?" Connor shouted back, tears forming in his blue eyes.

"The photos never lie, right? They were literally holding hands, and got in Shawn's car after they made their way through the crowd. Do you think they did it to find somewhere to talk about their lives, or eat some things? If you couldn't see this, let me tell you then, she fucking cheated on you, time to wake up!"

Connor just stood there as his gaze turned to the floor, tears starting to stream down his face. "What if it's just a misunderstanding?" I heard him whispering so lowly that I could barely hear, causing me to get closer to his body.

"I don't think it is, Con. And sorry if I was being too harsh, I'm just so fucked up right now." I mumbled wrapping my arms around him, not in a seductive but friendly way this time. "I broke up with Shawn yesterday."

"What, why?" He asked pulling away, looking right into my eyes with sympathy, letting me know that he felt what I was going through, just like him, at the end of the day.

"Lucy told me that he tried to kiss her in the restrooms that day, you remember him standing up after her?"

"I- Yes, I do, but I don't understand why she wouldn't just tell something like that to me. I'm- I'm her boyfriend, aren't I? And you were both still dating at that time?"

"Yeah, we were." I blinked rapidly with the intention of making the tears that was starting to form in my eyes go away, taking a deep breath. "Connor, I guess we just have to accept the fact that they both feel something for each other, I mean, they slept, is the other way even possible?" I put my hand on his shoulder, my heart breaking at the sight of him crying ever so silently, just like me. "And I know that you're like my brother, it's just- I suppose you already know how messed up I become when I drink, and I did these things with the effect of it, not because I want."

"Yeah, I unfortunately do. I still can't believe how we slept with each other like three months ago, when-" The door of my condo suddenly got opened and Lucy stood in front of it, her mouth opening wide.

"You did what?"

"Lucy, I-"

"You did what, Connor?!"

"It's not what you think it is."

"You two had sex before? And when both of you were dating me and Shawn?" She repeated, tears starting to rush into her already red and puffy eyes.

"Says you who cheated on her boyfriend yesterday." Camila snapped, her gaze on Lucy becoming into a disgusted one.

"We were both drunk!" Lucy exclaimed, closing the door hardly behind her. "What are your excuse, huh?"

"It will sound odd, baby-"

"Don't call me baby, Connor. Just don't." She raised her hand in order to stop me, then walking closer to us while shaking her head. "And here I am, coming here to tell you that I'm sorry, but also finding out that you already did the same thing to me months ago!"

"We were drunk as well, Lucy, it's the same case."

"It's not, Connor. It's fucking not! I came here to tell you that I made a mistake, cheated on you when I was drunk, but you didn't even bother to tell me that you slept with her during our relationship, huh?"

"At least I'm truly feeling something for you!" I suddenly yelled as I stepped forward, making her eyes go wide.

"What? You think I'm not?!"

"C'mon, Lucy! Just look at me in the eyes and tell me that you don't like Shawn, it's that easy, right? Only if you haven't been lying for all this time, of course."

"Oh, you want the truth? Yes! Yes! I'm fucking feeling something towards Shawn that I can't manage to feel with you! You're relieved?" She shouted even louder, taking steps forward in the meantime. "But that doesn't mean that I don't love you, Connor! Do you think I would refuse to leave your side while you were having your hardest times if I didn't feel something towards you?"

"The thing we were in wasn't a damn friendship, Lucy! We were dating, sleeping, doing literally everything together! That means," I got closer to her as well, making the gap between us even smaller while my finger was pointing right at her face. "You have been the one lying for this whole time."

She looked at me for a few seconds, her tears never stopping just like mine. "It's over!" I heard her whispering while rushing to the door as her sobs become louder and louder, her hands shaking incredibly hard, causing her to struggle with even holding the door knob. "And for all this time, we were both fooling each other, I can't believe it." She murmured, shutting the door behind her once again.

Hardly.

"Did you have to remind me?" I looked at Camila, who was looking at me under her lashes like she was the most innocent person ever.

"You are the one who said it, Connor, not me." She mumbled turning to the door as well, just before walking closer and giving me a one last hug, in a friendly way.

"Hey, I know that everything is just so fucked up right now, considering the fact that literally all of us cheated on their partners. Including us. But as we both know, we are still friends, Connor, and we can't let only one night change this." She placed a soft kiss on my cheek, taking my hand in hers afterwards. "I'm here if you ever wanna talk."

And with that, she left, giving my hand one last squeeze before walking out of the door, leaving me alone.

How could things come to this point in only two days?

Oh, okay, so, first of all, I know that this chapter is incredibly short, but I just couldn't help it... But the surprising fact is actually that I truly started loving this series once again, and I'm SUPER shocked to be honest, even though I don't know how to keep it going in the next parts. Anyways, I hope you liked this!

Maybe give me a follow cause I literally don't have any followers? I would be the happiest if you did one or both of these, babes!

Don't forget to vote and comment as well, love you!
