After finishing school in France, Camille moves back to Vegas and starts working with her brother at his place of business when she meets a couple of urban explorers after giving them a tour. She finds herself falling victim to her Father's old busi...
It has been a couple of months since I moved back to Vegas and I had finally got my own place. I had moved a few blocks away from Zak but became friends with the guy I met at the museum and started hanging out more. I had learned a little English thanks to him teaching me even though I wasn't good at it yet.
We were hanging out at my house when his other three friends came over and we decided to watch a movie since my home had a theater and a snackbar. I watched as the others found a place to sit while noticing that I would have to share a spot with one of them, so I decided to sit next to Colby. I placed a blanket over my body and watch the movie, I couldn't help but get a sense of safety whenever he was near me and it scared me because I didn't want to feel this way around a guy.
I watched as he got up and left before the movie started then come back with some snacks for us to share which I thought was sweet of him. As the night rolled on so did the feeling I had with him being this close to me and I did the last thing I thought I would never do, I gently placed my head against his shoulder and felt him place his arm around me and pull him close.
I felt my heart beating fast and my hands were sweaty but I tried not to draw attention to myself so I slowly got up and headed to the bathroom before I locked the door. I paced around the room while I tried to calm myself down but nothing was working so I sent Zak a text and he quickly rushed over. I didn't want to cause the others to freak out so I decided to go outside with Zak and talked.
Zak: Je déteste que tu aies affaire à de mauvais souvenirs, vas-tu en parler à quelqu'un?
I hate you're dealing with the bad memories, will you talk to someone about it?
Camille: Je ne sais pas si je peux, parler ne fera pas disparaître le traumatisme du jour au lendemain.
I don't know if I can, talking isn't just going to make the trauma disappear overnight.
I looked at the door and seen the guys standing there watching me, I seen Jake and Colby come outside and walked to where Zak and I was sitting.
Jake: is everything okay Camille?
Camille: non, je garde un secret depuis des années et ça me hante.
no, I have been keeping a secret for years and it's haunting me.
Zak: tu veux que je leur dise?
do you want me to tell them?
Camille: oui s'il vous plait
yes please.
Colby: what's wrong...?
Zak: come sit down guys, she wants you both knowing what's going on.
I watched as they sat down and Zak told them what I was dealing with and they immediately became concerned about me.
Colby: I never realized that was going on.
Jake: it must be hard for her to trust other guys.
Zak: she knows who did it but she doesn't want it happening to her again which is why she acts uncomfortable around other males.
Colby: is there something we can do to help her feel more comfortable around us? I don't want her to think that we are going to hurt her.
Zak: I know you two want her being more comfortable around you and your other friends but that's up with her, she will eventually become comfortable around you four and other people.
