The Summer at Camp Hill ✔️

Serenity's POV

What really happened?

I lay my back into the muddy waters and stare up into the sky as I watch the millions of birds fly on by. I don't know what it is about them, but it's such a peaceful sound.

"We're fixing to do s'mores." Carmen calls out, breaking the peaceful sound I was enjoying.

I show her a thumbs up as I take my time and end up being the last person left on the sand. As I'm walking up towards our small cabin I am grabbed from behind and pressed up against the huge cypress tree.

"Hi." He whispers softly, so only I can hear.

"Mr. Daniels, what are you doing?" I laugh and press my lips against his. My mouth opens slowly letting his tongue explore with my own. His fingers rest against my neck before choking me softly.

"You are such a tease." He breaths against me and bites gently on my lip.

"See you tonight." I grin and give him a soft kiss goodbye.

I am left with a smile on my face as I turn and head back towards the cabins. If my friends found out about us they wouldn't understand. I am seventeen and he is twenty five.

Before I make it to my door, someone puts a bag over my head. If this is Asher again I'm going to kill him. They take the bag off and that's when I noticed the spot we are at. It's away from everyone and nobody could hear me even if I screamed.

"What the fuck Lyla?"

"You fucking whore." She screams and punches me against my cheek. I try hitting her back, but she tackles me and starts squeezing me by my throat.

I am almost breathless as I stare up at my so called friend, killing me as the seconds count down.

"You just had to take him didn't you? Asher was mine and you knew how much I liked him." She pauses before digging her thumbs into my neck once more. "Too bad he can't have you if you're dead."

She watched us that night. She saw his hands around my neck and decided to kill me instantly, thats why she wore gloves and that's why Asher was falsely accused of my death. She dumped my body into the lake and went on about her life acting like the perfect daughter and twin sister she could be.

Carmen left right after my death and blames herself for it. I just wish I could have told her about everything sooner. She deserved that.

The summer at Camp Hill I fell in love and died for being in love... all because of jealousy and hate.

And no one will ever know.
