Only theirs

CHAPTER 35

I sat on the corner of the room with tears streaming down my face as i stared at the lifeless body of the man i once called my father. The blood had stopped pouring from his body ten minutes ago, my hands and hoodie were covered in blood... in his blood. I rested my head on my knees just staring at his body, something inside of me could't believe i had just killed him

My eyes didn't move from the man i had killed, the front door had opened but i didn't care, i just kept staring

"Camille" it was Ace voice

My eyes didn't move from the body "i don't feel guilt Ace" i said still not looking at him "you were right Ace Knox" i chuckled, a dry laugh came out of me "the guilt is for the weak" i turned my head to look at them "and i'm not weak"

They stared

Just stared

The smell of blood lingered in the air, it wouldn't surprise me if the neighbors could smell it, actually maybe they had already called the cops and they would soon take me away, maybe i'll rot in prison like i always meant to... like the dead man in front of me always said

"Camille" Greyson said, this time he snapped me out of my trance

My eyes met with his

I looked back to the body. My father's eyes were opened, they looked shallow, helpless. He didn't have a ounce of power over me, he was a powerless coward who would be forgotten in time, in a few years everyone would forget he even existed... of course i would never forget him or what he did to me, but at least now he had the bloody ending he deserved, even better when it had been on my hands. I could't imagine what my mom would think, maybe she would have been proud of me for taking revenge or maybe she would have hated me for killing the love of her life... i didn't want to think about her hating me because i wouldn't be able to bear it, i could't live knowing my mother hates me, but i wouldn't be able to live either knowing my father was alive after everything he did to me... i did what i had to do

The hand on my shoulder made me flinch away

"Camille" Greyson pulled me to his chest "oh my baby"

Then the tears began to pour down my eyes uncontrollably, everything came crushing down once again. He hugged me and i hugged him back, i sobbed into his chest clinging to him for dear life. Ace appeared behind me rubbing my back as i kept crying

Eventually my sobbed turned into small whimpers, relieved washed over me as i cried everything i had been holding back for too long

I pulled away from Ace and Greyson, i wiped the tears aways "he won't have anymore of my tears" i said trying to keep my voice as strong as possible "he won't held that power over me anymore" i glanced at the man on the floor one last time "fuck him"

———

Ace hands cleaned my skin with such delicacy it seemed as if i would break any minute. I stud under the hot water as the blood of my the man i killed was being washed off me. Ace didn't utter a word and neither did i, there was nothing to say. When he finished he just wrapped his arms around me while we stud under the the hot water, his firm body behind me didn't scared me for once, in a very fucked up way i felt protect by him

We stepped out as Ace wrapped a towel over my body

He kissed my cheek and dried me up

Greyson walked in and changed me into a pair of clean clothes

My eyes lingered for a few seconds on the bandage Greyson had on his shoulder, my hands shot up and carefully touched the gauze. Greyson looked at me carefully his eyes calculating my every movement "i'm not sorry i shot you" my voice came out raspy but i didn't stutter "even though i probably should, you deserved being shot"

He chest constricted under my hand "i know, you should have killed me"

I pulled my hand away "i didn't want to kill you Greyson"

His hand gently grabbed my chin "say the words and i will put a bullet through my eyes" his eyes held mine "my brother would do the same thing for you"

I shook my head "no thats not it"

I pulled away "what will happen to the body?" I asked "what about the cops? Won't they investigate"

Ace walked in trying in hair with a towel, wearing just a pair of black sweats "the cops won't be a problem, don't even worry about it" he walked closer to stroke my cheek "it's up to you what you want to do with the body, but if you want my input i would burn it to ashes" his words hardened at the end

"I should talk to my brother about it"

They visibly tensed

I continued "he was the one who suffered the most because of my father" i took in a shaky breath sitting at the edge of the bed "what happened to me was nothing compared to what happened to him" Ace opened his mouth to probably say not to undermine what happened to me but i talked first "after our mom died Easton changed, it wasn't grieve or sadness... he changed in a way at the time i wasn't able to understand" i sighted "he used to rape him"

"Did he ever touched you?!" Greyson hissed

I shook my head "no he never did that to me" i saw them relaxed "i don't even know why, but he sexually abused Easton for years, i saw my brother die from the inside because of what he did" i brought my knees up to my chest "i think he hates me for it, even if he tried not. Easton resented me"

I cant blame him for it

"He left and in a way i felt relieve, because he would be away from our father as possible" my voice could't hide the pain "even if he left me behind i was happy for him" i cleared my throat white the brothers looked at me intensely "i think Easton should also have a vote of what happens to my father's body, he would be grateful if i at least gave him that"

Greyson nodded after a few second "if thats what you want we can arrange for him to come. But you won't be alone with him, we won't risk it"

"Camille" Ace said more softly "your brother is in heavy drugs, he's with the wrong crowd. We can't let anything happen to you"

I sighted but nodded "thank you"
