The sight that came into view as I pushed open the door to my dorm room, got me frozen to a spot. Arabella, sat on her bed, sharing a laugh with some guys, while passing cups filled with drinks to one another. I was quick to recognize them. The same guys we met at that party. At my sudden entrance, Arabella stood to her feet, smiling and welcoming me back. Something which she never does. My gaze rested on a figure sat on my bed, legs on my sheets while he rested his head on my pillows, looking so comfortable. "Do you mind?" I said to him immediately, moving over to get him up. It was the guy who was questioning me the other day. The one who asked if I was a virgin. I began choking as soon as I opened my mouth to speak, instantly inhaling something strong. Turning around to check what suddenly polluted the air, I saw some of the guys, with cigs in hands smoking and filling the air with its product. I couldn't bring myself to say anything to them, instead, I asked weird guy to
If I was told an hour ago that I eventually would attend the party with Arabella, I would have told whoever said so, that they were only blabbing. Yet here I was, being pulled by Arabella, while she led me to a corner, where her group of friends were. Just as I thought, they were all smoking. They watched as we approached them, Asher getting to his feet immediately to welcome Arabella. "You came" I heard someone say from behind me. I turned around only to be met with the face of 'weird' guy. His eyes moved down to my dress, looking as if he was trying to figure something out. I must admit, the red dress which Arabella chose for me was quite befitting. It hugged my curves tightly, cinching properly to my waist. Not saying a word, he moved right past me, going over to take a seat next to his friends.I did the same, but stayed far away from them, not wanting to inhale the smoke filling the area.My eyes rested on Arabella who was so busy pushing her lips into Asher's while his h
"Won't you have something to drink?" I heard him say to me. "I'm fine" I responded immediately, not wanting to hear him say one more word. He made me so uncomfortable, not gonna lie. For minutes, we had been sitting here together, all alone. Oh, how I wish I didn't agree to come. He puffed smoke my way, causing me to cough, while I turned to glare at him. "Not funny" I stated. "Thought you were shying away from looking into my eyes" He chuckled. "Now, why would I be shy?" I asked him. "You tell me" He said. I shifted my gaze away, totally ignoring him. "Do I make you nervous?" He asked"No" I responded, with my gaze still away from him. "Then why can't you bring yourself to look my way?" "Well, there's nothing interesting happening there" I responded immediately. "You're tense, Nia" "Why don't you have a drink" He uttered, pushing his cup over to me. My eyes shifted from the cup, to his face. As if reading my thoughts, he spoke. "Don't worry, it's clean" He chuckled.
Third person POV"What on earth were you thinking?" Ashley snapped at her brother, staring him square in the eyes. He remained sat on his bed, going through his phone, ignoring the jabs she threw his way. "Cameron!" Ashley called again, pissed that he wasn't responding to her. "I did what I did, now drop it" Cameron uttered nonchalantly. "You want me drop it? Are you crazy?!""Why on earth would you break up with her for just no reason?" She asked. "Ashley, I've told you, whatever happens in my relationship is none of your business" He said."Of course it is! Nia's more than a friend to me" She snapped. "Since when did you bother about my relationships?" Cameron questioned "Just this one" She responded. He tore his gaze off her, taking it back to his phone. "I don't owe you an explanation as to why I did that. Not even to any one" He stated. "Were you cheating on her?" Ashley asked him. Cameron brought his gaze to her, reading through her expression. "If I was cheating, yo
Third person POV... Ashley Williams hurried into the room of Nia, expecting to see her staring back, asking the cause of the sudden storm in, instead she was met with an empty bed, and Arabella peering at her. "What's going on?" Arabella asked immediately, a bit startled at the sudden entrance. "Where's Nia?" Ashley questioned, looking around the room like she could spot her somewhere in the corners. Arabella remained silent, just watching Ashley as she paced around the room. "Why aren't you saying anything?" Ashley questioned. "Where is she? It's a matter of urgency!" She yelled. "For days now, Nia hasn't returned" Arabella began. "What?!" Ashley's eyes widened. "Returned from where?" She questioned. "I don't know" Arabella said immediately, her voice laced with a bit of sadness as she narrated all. "She told me one evening she was going to the park, and that was all" "I didn't see her after that. I tried calling her countless times, but it only went to her voicemail" "A
Few days back. Nia's POV...My legs burned with pain as I took a seat on the park bench watching the happy families which had gathered on this cold evening. I was currently at a park not too far from school, trying to ease myself and at least have a good breath of air, after days of just going to class, and back to the dorms. The same old boring routine. It wasn't fully dark yet, hence quite a number of people lingered around, some with their partners, others alone. A shadow suddenly passed by me, grabbing my attention at that moment, as I recognized who it was instantly. I stood to my feet, watching the direction which she took. Quietly, I followed behind. Going through bushes, moving to wherever she was going to. She finally came to a stop at a quiet corner which seemed to be deserted, grabbing a phone from her pockets and making a call. Why on earth would she be here? I thought to myself. Coming all the way here from the mansion could take hours. So what on earth could hav
Third person POV...Cameron had received a phone call from Ashley revealing everything to him and how for days now, Nia had been missing.He knew immediately who was responsible, but Kidnapping Nia wasn't what she told him. Grabbing a few of his things, and leaving USC to meet Ashley who was still over at Nia's college.Random thoughts filled his head on his way there. Those texts he had been receiving had a connection with all of this. Weeks passed, months came and he had been forced to do it. For her well being. Upon arrival at the College, he was told by Ashley that she had phoned the police, and they were now looking into it."Why the fuck would you do that?" He demanded in a raised voice. "So they could find Nia" Ashley responded in a 'duh' tone. "Crap!" Cameron uttered. "They specifically ordered me not to tell anyone, you included if you haven't figured out" His voice boomed. During all of the arguments, a phone began ringing, getting the room to a sudden silence. Camero
Third person POV..."Nia!" Cameron called, as the elevator of the abandoned 'crescent' building stopped on the last floor, allowing him move to the exit which led to the rooftop. Arabella and Ashley were right behind him, following his lead. His heart stopped for just a fleeting second, seeing the girl his heart raced for, laid down, arms tied with her eyes blindfolded. She appeared in a terrible state, her hair messed up in different directions, and no shoes to bear on her feet. Hurrying over to her, he tore the blindfold off her eyes while Ashley untied her hands, patting and consoling her with sweet words. "Nia" Cameron breathed, while she crashed into his arms, sobbing till she had exhausted herself and could, no more. "I'm sorry" Cameron whispered softly, holding her warmly in his arms. "I truly am" He uttered once more. He comforted her in his hold, his heart burning with pain, right before she passed out.*** The whispering of people around me, and the beeping of a he
