Davon

The look in Cami's eyes was doing something to my body. I walked closer to her unable to stop myself. As I got closer I saw her eyes darken. I wrapped my arms around her waist and slowly backed her up to the counter. I lifted her up and placed her on the counter. I leaned closer to her and placed my forehead against hers.

"I'm going to kiss you now" I said. I wanted to give her a chance to stop me if she was uncomfortable.

"Ok" she replied. Her voice sounded breathy and full of want.

I placed my lips against hers and started kissing her. It started off slow and began to build. I pulled away allowing us to catch our breath. I started to place kisses along her jaw. As I moved towards her neck she started breathing heavier. At first I thought she was enjoying what I was doing but then she started to hyperventilate. I pulled back and saw fear in her eyes.

"Hey hey it's ok you're safe" I said to her rubbing circles on her back.

"I....I.. I" she was unable to say anything.

"Hey it's ok I promise" I reassured her "What can I do to help? Do you want me to get Luci?"

She started nodding her head still unable to say anything. I picked her up bridal style and placed her on the couch. I ran across the hall to Marcus's. I knocked on the door and when no one answered I used my key to unlock the door.

"LUCI" I hollered "LUCI CAMI NEEDS YOU" I hollered louder.

I heard a commotion coming form upstairs and then I heard someone running down the stairs.

"What happened? Where is she?" Luci said as she hurled herself down the last few steps.

"She's at my place on the couch." I said a little panicked "I don't know what happened we were kissing and she was fine and then she started hyperventilating"

"Oh no she's having one of her panic attacks" she said as she ran across the hall to my place.

"Oh Cami babes I'm here. I'm here" Luci said reassuringly.

Luci sat on the couch next to Cami and wrapped her arms around her. She pulled her into her arms and began rubbing circles on her back. The sight of Cami pulled at my heart. It hurt seeing her so broken. I vowed then and there I would do whatever I needed to put her pieces back together. I decided to go over to Marcus's to give them some privacy. I heard Luci still whispering to Cami that she was safe as I closed the door.

Marcus was already in the kitchen when I walked back to his place. "Here man I got you a drink" he said handy me a glass of brandy.

"Nah I'm good man. Just worried about Cami" I said sitting down a putting my face in hands.

"You need a drink man that was an intense moment" he said grabbing my hand and placing the drink into it. "It'll help you calm down"

I took the glass and just stared at it for a moment. I chugged the contents of the glass in one drink. I slammed it on the table and got up. I started pacing the living room floor. Marcus came up to me and tried to stop me.

"Hey man it's gonna be ok" he started to say reaching for my arm.

"No it's not" I said as I pushed his arm away "what if I scared her so bad she never wants to see me again?"

"Davon it's going to be ok" he said again this time a with a little more force behind his voice.

"How do you know man?" I said coming to a stop "you didn't see her face. She was so scared and there was nothing I could do to help her" my voice cracking as I stopped talking.

"You really care for her don't you man" he asked all I could do is nod my head "then it's gonna be ok." I opened my mouth to protest but he raised a hand to stop me "let me finish man. It's going to be ok because she knows you care for her. Anyone can see that if we're being honest here. It's there in the way you look at her and the way you always stop to make sure she's ok before you do anything. I noticed it when you came over the other night to talk to Luci. You could see that you're only concern was to make her feel safe. So it's going to be ok because of that. It might take awhile and she might need a little space to figure out what to do but it will be ok"

I just looked up at him I hoped what he was saying was true. After a few minutes and another drink the door opened and in walked Luci. I jumped up from the couch and ran up to her.

"Is she ok? Can I come back over there? Does she need anything? What can I do?" I was firing questions at her so fast that she didn't have a chance to answer.

"Woah there slow down will ya" Luci said raising her hands up " She's ok and she's calmed down. I'm gonna go ahead and take her home she's a little embarrassed and is worried she's upset you. She's asked a for little space and to please not hate her"

"Can I see her please" I begged "she needs to know I'm not mad and I could never hate her. She has no reason to be embarrassed"

"Give her time Davon" Luci said putting her hand on my chest to stop me from running over to my place. "She's not ready to see you. You didn't do anything wrong so I don't want you to think you did. She just needs time. This is the first relationship she's been in since Jason. She hasn't fully moved past it"

"I understand just please tell her I'm not mad or upset or anything like that. I just want her to be ok" I asked her.

I stayed at Marcus's till I knew they were gone. I didn't want to cause her any more pain or anything. Once I was sure they were gone I went back to my place I got another drink. I was standing there and thinking about everything. I didn't realize how hard I was squeezing my glass till I felt it shatter in my hand. I wanted to find that boy and cause him the kind of pain he had put Cami through. After I cleaned up my mess I took a shower and laid in bed. I kept replaying the night over and over in my head. The last thought I had before falling alseep was of Cami.

Camila

Once we were home Luci helped me change out of my dress. She tried to get me to talk to her but I just couldn't. I don't know what happened I just panicked. I kept replaying the events of the night in my head over and over. I was enjoying kissing Davon but when he started to kiss my neck I couldn't breathe.

I laid in bed unable to sleep for hours. I just laid there my mind unwilling to shut up. Luci told me that Davon said he wasn't mad but how could he not be. I told him I was ok and I knew he wanted to have s*x but I just couldn't. I tried so hard to enjoy myself but Jason's face kept popping up in my mind.

I kept replaying the last time I saw Jason in my head. No matter how hard I tried to stop them the images of that night just kept popping up. The thing that I never told anyone about was that he had taken advantage of me before he beat me. I never even told Luci I was too ashamed. She had so much pity in her eyes when she saw me at the hospital I couldn't bring myself to tell her everything. I finally was able to fall asleep when the sun had started to come up.

I knew I was late when I arrived at the hotel and I knew Jason was gonna be pissed what I didn't know was how pissed.

"Hey sorry I'm late" I said as I opened the door with the key he left for me at the front desk.

"About f*****g time Camila" he said as he stormed towards me. A look of fury in his eyes.

Before the door had fully closed he slapped me across the face. "That's for keeping me waiting you b***h". Tears started to fall down my face as I held my stinging cheek.

"I'm sorry. I was stuck" he slapped me again before I could finish my sentence.

"I don't want to hear your bullshit excuses. I know you were f*****g somebody else." He said I could feel the angry radiating off of him.

"No I swear Jason I wasn't" I tried telling him.

He refused to listen to me. He grabbed my wrist and yanked my body towards him. "You think you can just give away what's mine to anybody you want" he said his eyes were darkening with pure rage. "I'll show you what happens when you disobey me"

He slammed his lips on mine. His tongue trying to force it's way into my mouth. When I wouldn't give him access he grabbed the hair at the base of my neck and pulled so hard I gasped tears starting to form I'm my eyes from the pain. He shoved his tongue in my mouth.

I was trying so hard to shove him away from me but I couldn't. He was too strong for me to move. When he realized what I was trying to do he was pissed.

"What you can give your body to someone else but not to me" he screamed as he punched me across the face" I told you you belong to me"

He slapped me again as he began to tear my clothes off. "Please Jason stop" I begged him tears running down my face. I tried to cover my body with my hands. That only pissed him off even more. He punched me in the face again.

He hit me so hard this time I fell to the floor. I laid there crying and begging him to please stop. Telling him over and over again that I wasn't cheating on him. I had never seen him so pissed off before.

He pulled me up by my hair causing me to scream in pain. "I'm gonna teach you to never disrespect me again" he said. He punched me again so hard that my vision blurred.

I don't know how long I was out for but when I came back to Jason was on top of me. "Please stop" I begged in a small voice.

"You belong to me" he gritted through his teeth "do you understand me. You are mine"

I cried out in pain as he forced himself inside me. My mind went blank and my body gave up as I laid there till he was done.

"Get up b***h" he said when he was done. "Go shower".

I did what he said because I knew what would happen if I didn't. Once I was done and went back to the main room I saw him sitting on the bed.

"Jason why do you keep doing this to me" I asked. "I love you and I would never betray you I swear"

He got up and walked over to me. He slapped me across the face again. "Did I f*****g give you permission to speak" he screamed in my face.

I flinched away from him as he screamed in my face. When he walked away I started to pick up my things.

"What the f**k are doing huh" he asked.

"I was gonna go home" I said in a small voice.

"Did I say you can leave" he was so pissed "what are you gonna go back to whoever it was you were with before you got here"

"No I told you I wasn't with anyone" I began crying. I was so scared of what was gonna happen.

"I didn't say you could f*****g talk" he said as he grabbed me by the hair and threw me on the floor.

He pulled my hair so hard it caused a scream to escape from me. This seemed to only piss him off more. He walked up to me and pulled me up by my hair again.

"Why the f**k are you crying? Huh?" I tried saying something but I couldn't stop crying "answer me" he screamed at me.

When I was unable to say anything he punched me across the face again. This time he caused me to fall to the side and hit my head hard on the table. "You worthless b***h. You know you make me do this if you would just listen to me I wouldn't have to discipline you so much"

He walked over towards me and tried to lift my face to look at him. I jerked my chin out of his grip. I immediately knew I had done the wrong thing when I heard a growl come out of his mouth.

"You are mine I can touch you if I f*****g want to" he screamed "don't ever pull away from me again. Do you understand me"

"Yes" I said barely able to speak above a whisper.

"I'm sorry I didn't f*****g hear that. I said do you understand me" he yelled again this time slapping me across the face.

"I said yes" I raised my voice higher so he could hear me this time.

When I looked at him my whole body went cold. He had the most murderous look in his eyes. I had never seen him so pissed.

He pulled me to my feet again and slapped me so hard that I saw black spots beginning to form in front of my eyes. "how dare you raise your voice to me" he said as he punched me across the face again.

He grabbed the back of my head yanking my head back. "I'll train you how to behave if it's the last thing I do" he said before throwing me on the floor.

I laid on the floor for a few minutes then I heard the sound of the door opening. When I looked up he was standing in the doorway.

"I'll be back to make sure you've learned your lesson. If you so much as try to leave this room I will kill you do you understand me" he said.

I nodded my head yes as he closed the door and left. I got up from the floor and listened at the door when I was sure he was gone I fell to the floor and began crying. I couldn't take another beating like that again. That was the worst one yet.

I don't know how long I laid there crying but I had made a plan while I was. I knew my parents would be so upset with me if they were still alive and I knew that when Luc found out she would be devastated but I just couldn't do this anymore.

I knew he meant what he said about killing me so I knew there was no other escape. I got up and grabbed my purse searching till I found what I needed. I quickly wrote a letter to Luc telling her I was sorry and how much I loved her. I wrote one the her parents thanking them for everything they had done for me since I lost my parents. I hid the letters on my purse hoping they would find them.

I climbed up on the bed with a glass of water in my hands. I said goodbye to everyone in my head and then I apologized to my parents for not being stronger. I grabbed my glass of water and put the pills in my mouth. After I swallowed them down I laid my head down. As my eyes became heavy I prayed I would be gone by the time Jason came back. The last thing that went through my head before I passed out was my parents faces. I was on my way to be with them again.

I woke up screaming I looked down and my body was covered in sweat. It had been so long since I had dreamt of that night. I took awhile for my breathing to slow down. Once I had calmed down I got up to take a shower. I didn't know what I was gonna do.
