authors note:

Sorry I don't update as much as you guys want me to, I've been busy studying for my ap exam.
Also I want to inform you that one of your comments has inspired the rest of the course of this book. It was an really good idea and I just had to use it. So thanks and I'll DM the person who inspired me and I'll let everyone know who it is on the last chapter.

Cam's Point Of View

It wasn't easy, but it had to be done. I couldn't keep giving all my heart to someone who would only give me half. I don't share. I never have and I never will. Once something is mine, I like it to stay mine. Not it be mine for a month then my brothers the next month and then back to me. I feel the sane way with my women. I don't like to share.

It's not like I wanted to make her cry, but it had to be done. Someone needed to break the love triangle and I knew my brother wasn't going to do it, so I did.

When I walked away, I could hear her crying. I wanted run back to her and tell her that it was all a lie ( well, not the part when I said I love you ).I wanted to tell her that I'm not really trying things out with Jessica, I wanted to tell her that I don't want her to be happy with Jake and that I want her to be with me and only me. I wanted to tell her that she makes me a better person and that I didn't mean what I said about her being as whore. Truth is, I've never met someone who could make me feel the way Sam does.

I want to tell her all those things, but I can't. She deserves someone who's going to treat her right. Someone who won't yell at her or cheat on her. Someone who's not my brother or myself. I just can't find the strength to let her go though.

And that is why I'm sitting in my office, starring at Sam file my old paperwork. I know it hurts her to be in the same room with me but I like her presence. It's selfish, I know.

" Why am I filing papers from 2009 " she asked, interrupting my thoughts.

" I might need some of those papers and I don't want to have to go digging for them. " I replied.

She rolled her eyes and went back to filing.

" How's Jake doing ?" I asked, trying to make small talk.

" Why do you care " she replied, never looking away from the files.

" I didn't ask you to ask me if I cared. I asked how is my brother and look at me when you're speaking to me. " I demanded.

She put the file she had in her hand down, stood up, and walked up to my desk.

She looked me straight in my eyes and said " He's doing great, you should visit him sometime. Now if you'll excuse me Mr.King, I have to use the restroom".

Sam walked out my office, not waiting for my reply, and slammed the door shut. I always did like my women feisty.

Five minutes later, Sam comes stomping back in.

" What made you so mad?" I asked.

" Nothing, absolutely nothing, sir " she replied, returning to her filing job.

" In my experiences when a woman says nothing is wrong that actually means something is up and that hell is about to freeze over" I teased.

" Can we stop with jokes and keep it professional, please sir. " she said keeping her attention to the filing cabinet.

" Of course, I was just trying to make small talk, and since were keeping it professional, you can't go on a lunch break until you finish filing " I replied and walked out with a fake smile plastered on my face and I could hear her break down in tears, but I didn't turn around to check on her, I kept on walking out.

An hour later, I come back from lunch and found Sam still on the ground filling.

" Did you ever get lunch?" I asked curiously.

" No, sir " she whispered.

" Here I brought you a salad " I replied, handing her a bag filled with salad and dressing.

" Thank you " she said taking the bag from me and walking out.

I looked over at the piles of paper still on the floor and realized that if I wouldn't have brought her lunch she would have never eaten.

I decided to let Sam have a break, so I told Sarah Louise, my secretary to finish it for her.

" Why am I doing this again, not that I mind doing it, I just want to know why " Sarah asked.

" Sam's not feeling too, good. So you're going to have to finish it up for me " I replied.

" I heard her talking on the phone in the bathroom, I think something happened to her mom. She was crying when she walked out " she stated.

So that's why she's been crying. Something's going on with her mom. I felt like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulder. I wasn't the reason for all her tears, her mother was.

Leaving Sarah in my office to work, I decided to walk over to Sam's desk.

" Can we talk? " I asked.

She nodded her head and led me into an empty meeting room.

" You okay ?" I asked as soon as the door was shut.

" Yeah " she lied, " Why wouldn't I be ".

" Someone said they heard you crying in the restrooms and they heard you talking about your mom. I just wanted to make sure you were okay ".

" My mom had a heart attack today and she's currently in the hospital " Sam said, breaking down again.

Wanting to let her know that I was here for her, I pulled her into an embrace and let her cry on my shoulders.

" Anything you need you let me know " I replied, " If you need to take the week off to visit her, go ahead."

" I-I w-would but she, she lives in T-T-Texas and I c-cant afford a ticket. " she sobbed into my shoulder.

" Don't worry about that I'll pay for the ticket and I'll even pay for her hospital bills. Anything you need I'll get it for you " I reassured her.

" You're my hero " she said, laying her head on my chest.

" That's all I ever wanted to be "
