CAMILLE
I brush through my wet, curly hair as I waited for Mason to get here. Today they were doing their Sunday soccer thing.
I was honestly looking forward to going.
Soon I heard my dad talking to someone.
What the hell?
Grabbing my purse, I rushed down the stairs and seen Mason.
"Your friend is here" my dad looks at me.
"Thanks" I sarcastically smile walking towards the two.
"Be safe, if you need anything don't hesitate to call me" my dad says trying to sound intimidating.
"I will" I grab masons hand and lead him out the door.

We arrived at a field as my anxiety began to kick in.
"Do they know that I know?" I ask Mason.
"I'm pretty sure Kadence told everybody" he laughs a little trying to brighten the mood.
Speaking of Kadence, she began walking over to the car.
"Welcome" she opens my door and helps me out.
The wind blew through my hair causing the others to look at me.
"Uhm put this on" Kadence takes her hat off and puts it on my head.
"I got you" she smiles before walking away.
Mason and I both followed behind her.
"That's RJ and Amelia, and you know these two" Mason does a basic introduction.
I smile and wake but only got the same energy back from 3 people.
Amelia just shakes her head and walks away.
What's her problem?

The game was going good. I just sat back and watched but I was still enjoying myself. Probably the most fun I've had since I've moved here.
Everyone else rolled on the ground and got dirty except for Kadence.
She played so girly, yet she was the best player.
"Let us play, Mannings"
I could hear the voice but I couldn't see them.
Mason and the rest sprints over to me.
As Mason pushes me behind him, I notice that the voice came from behind me.
Staring at the strangers, it was a guy with brown hair who didn't have a shirt on, a girl with vintage clothes on and she had long blonde hair, the other girl was....maya?
Maya nervously looked around trying not to make eye contact.
"We were just finishing up" RJ speaks as he stood in front of his whole family.
"You guys still seemed to be playing to me" the blonde girl spoke.
"Let's just go" Maya said as the two others mugged her.
I started breathing harder and harder. My anxiety was slowly starting to take over.
"We'll go" the guy says as they began to turn around and walk off.
A gush of wind came from behind me, blowing through my hair again.
"You're not gonna share with an old friend?" The guy stops in his tracks after taking a long whiff.
"You can have her-"
"She's with us!" RJ cuts Amelia off mid-sentence.
At this point I'm terrified. Not knowing what was going to happen.
"Hey..hey you hear that?" Maya grabs the man's face.
I couldn't hear what they heard but whatever it was it made the guy lick his lips.
"Let's go" Maya sprints off and the guy follows her.
The blonde girl stood there to stare at us longer before doing that same.
Maya is one of them?
I was kind of jealous.
"Pathetic" Amelia shakes her head at me before going to her and RJ's car.

"Who were they?" I asked Mason as we drove back to my house.
"Old friends of RJ. They were just in New York, I don't know why they're here" he answered keeping his eyes on the road.
I contemplated on telling him that I knew one of them.
"I knew one of them. Maya. She's ..she was my dads fiancé"
Mason takes a deep breath, gripping his steering wheel.
"I knew it" he shakes his head.

I snuck Mason in my house as quiet as possible. My dad snored on the couch, with a new bottle of vodka, open on the table.
He's really starting to disappoint me.
Guiding Mason to my room, I began to undress myself, leaving me in my tank top and underwear.
"I'm about to shower so...you can chill" I say before walking out of my room, with my pajamas in my hand.
Mason didn't feel comfortable leaving me alone, so he asked to spend the night. It's not like my dad would notice anyways.
He drinks himself to sleep and when he wakes up, he goes to the police station.
That's become his new routine. I can't even remember the last time he went to work.
Stepping in the shower I let the water run all over my body. The only thing that calms my nerves is a steaming hot shower.

Walking back into my room, I saw Mason reading my Romeo and Juliet book.
"You like?" I ask applying lotion to my skin.
"I've read this 100 times. I could read the whole story from start to end in my head" he says.
The more time we spend together, the more he opens up to me.
He impresses me so much and he knows it.
Getting in my bed, I pulled the blankets back for him to join me.
"I don't sleep" he says.
I make a confused face.
"We don't get tired" Mason chuckles.
Damn I learn something new everyday.
"Still lay with me?" I plead as he takes his jacket off.
He cuddles up next to me and I lay my head on his chest.
"You're so warm" he holds me tighter.
"I had fun today" I look up at him.
"That's good" he stares me in my eyes.
Before I knew it, our lips connected.
As we kissed, it felt like we were the only two people on earth.
