"You look depress"
"How nice of you River" i rolled my eyes
"I'm just saying i've seen cadavers with more life than you" he chewed on his gusher
The last two days i have been coming to talk to River, turns out he's more of an idiot i thought he was the first time. At the same time he makes me laugh and distracts me from everything happening. He talks way too much, like maybe he was a problem or something but thats exactly what i need, to just talk to someone that isn't lying to me all the time
"What are you doing tomorrow?" He asked
I looked at him confused as hell
"We have like a free day or something the Knox brothers are getting married to their mysterious fiancee, duh!"
The wedding was tomorrow, of course i haven't forgotten it just slipped for a split second out of my mind. I cry myself to sleep every night thinking about it, every time i think about it i just want to cry myself to sleep
"Not sure" i whispered
"Logan is taking me out to a fancy dinner" he continued all dreamy "he was all romantic about it"
"Thats sounds great"
"Ugh you are getting me depress" he whined "cheer up a little-."
I interrupted him "River can i ask you something?"
"Of course"
I swallowed "do you ever feel like your are drowning? It's like this feeling like you are slowly dying and can't do anything about it-or maybe you don't want to do anything about it" he dropped the shovel to look at me, his smile had faded "never mind-."
"The feeling your chest is closing up and even breathing becomes difficult, when crying doesn't help anymore and you just feel dead inside" he finished for me
"Yes" i whispered "i can't tell if i'm alive of just a walking corps"
"Let me ask you something Camille" he breathed out "if someone held a gun to your head and told you to hand your bag over, what would you do?"
"I would beg... beg for them to shoot"

River's words have been stuck in my head for the past few hours, i tried reading to avoid reality but not even that was helping this time. I tried making a milkshake which ended in half of the kitchen being covered in oreo's, so i'm pretty sure no one from cleaning staff what's to see me right now even after i urged for them to let me clean it
I snooped my head when i heard the front door shut
Greyson and another man i didn't know where talking in hush voices
"Make sure they stay in the basement" Greyson ordered "don't let them die before i get my time to play"
I stumble into making my presence known
"Camille" he acknowledge walking to toward me and kissing my forehead, i had to no energy to push him away "this Daniel my second in command" he introduce us
"Is an honor to meet you" he nodded at me barley looking at me at the same time
"Hi" i shifted awkwardly
"Daniel go do what i told you" he said and Daniel left as quickly as he arrived
Something was going on in the basement, it wouldn't surprise me to have a torture chamber downstairs where Greyson and Ace go torture every time they are bored
"Come lets go eat something" he took my hand in his
I stopped before we got to the kitchen "i don't think thats a good idea"
"You haven't had lunch yet" he said pointy
"There was a little accident" i said not taking my eyes from the kitchen door
"Accident?" He asked furrowing his eyebrows
"Yeah" i breathed out
He walked inside the kitchen for five second before coming out with a doubtful expression "maybe we can have a late lunch" i nodded quickly as we walked upstairs "how can someone that little make so much mess?"
"I forgot to put the lid to the blending machine" i murmured
We made it to our bedroom or what they like to call it, Ares and Hades where sleeping peacefully in the bed
"The dogs can't keep sleeping inside" he grumbled
"Why?!"
"Everything is covered in fur" he said annoyed
"And your point is?" I asked
He smirked down at me, out of no where he picked me up into his arms forcing me wrap my legs around his torso before he dropped me. He sat us down close to the window with all the view of the snowed state
He breathed deeply snuggling into my neck "tomorrow you will become Camille Knox"
I gave a little nod in response
"About tomorrow" i said unsure "i wanted to ask you something"
"Ask then"
"I want my brother to be there"
He stopped the attack on my neck "Camille" he said almost disappointed i would ask "we made it clear your brother isn't a good person" i bit my lip so hard i tasted blood "he is not good for you or our family" i wanted to fight him so bad but it was getting exhausting at this point "baby we can give you the world but your safety comes first, always"
"He's my brother Greyson, i get he's not perfect but i will have no one tomorrow" i breathed in "i don't want to be alone in my wedding day" my voice cracked
"You wont be alone" he said quickly
"I feel alone"
"Camille" he murmured "ask anything you want but that is something we cant give you"
I sighted, what if i cried? Would it help?
I was tired of crying, i was getting tired of life
"Where will the wedding be?" I asked changing the topic
"You will like it" he said clearly liking the change of topic "it's outside of town in a beautiful semi outdoor venue"
I hummed closing my eyes
