It all started with a dare ✔️

Chapt. 21

"It's okay princess we can totally beat their asses in 'Who can finish the watermelon first?' Right?" Damien comforts me.

I look at him. A grin takes over my face.

"Finally my eating skills are useful!" I say.

--

"3...2...1...Go!" Jacob countsdown to throw and I eat the watermelon like it stole my secret stash of candy.

"Done!" I say. My mouth stuffed with watermelon.

Everyone stops eating and stares at me?

I swallow the watermelon. "What?"

"That's my girl!" Damien says and high fives me. When he said my girl I couldn't help but blush and when our palms connected it felt like it was burning. But a good burning. Not the ones that hurt you.

~•~

"So you can keep me
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Holding me closer till our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone
Wait for me to come home."

Ashton finishes with a single strum on the guitar. He looks at Tessa smiling. She's one lucky girl. I wish someone would love me with that much passion. The 10 of us are at the balcony and there aren't that many people at the beach anymore because it's dark. The house is kinda packed though.

A girl in a mini skirt and a really tight shirt comes and tries to flirt with Damien but he just shrugs her off. Soon the girl gets bored and leaves.

"What happened to Mr. Badboy?" I say raising an eyebrow.

"I wasn't in the mood." He says.

"Wanna go to the beach and take a walk?" I say in attempt to cheer him up.

He smiles and nods.

...

"So what's up with the sour mood?" I ask.

"It's Violet. She texted me just now." I think she's a touchy subject cause he looks sad and mad at the same time.

"Why did you guys break up? You seemed happy." I ask and mumbled the last part looking down. We stopped walking at sat down on the sand.

"She cheated on me." He whispers.

I look at him not knowing what to say.

"I-"

Ding ding

My phone cut me off.

I check my notifications and notice it's from and unknown number.

I click on it,

Unknown: Having fun in Florida I see. You sure are getting closer to Damien. By the way, you didn't fail to impress me in that bikini. Sitting under the stars with Damien? How typical. Remember. I see you my love.

I look left right and behind me trying to find him. But I didn't see him.

Ella: What do you want? And stop stalking me it's creepy.

Creep: I want you and remember there are things I can do if I have to. I can get rid of him.

I stare at my phone. I know what he can do. And I won't let that happen again. I need to put him in jail.

"Ella? What's wrong?" Damien puts his hand on mine and I flinch.

"N-nothing." I say.

"What is it?"

"I said it's nothing." I say even louder this time.

"Ella I can't do this anymore! Everytime I ask what's wrong What is bothering you? You shut me out! You expect me to let it go but I can't! I don't get why you shut me out! I'm just trying to help." He says and walks away.

I'm sorry Damien. I can't let him get you. I shut people out so I don't hurt myself and others. I don't deserve help or any sort of kindness. Because I'm a worthless nobody.

I sit there alone crying. And thinking. Should I let him? I can't let him die like Dad. Another reason why I hate Ryan, is because he killed my Dad. I found out when I saw the same truck that hit us in his garage.

"I'm sorry Dad. It's all my fault."

I decided I should talk to Damien and tell him everything.

I walk in the house and search for Damien. I went to his room and guess what I saw...

Damien and the blonde from earlier making out.

Is this how it's gonna be everytime we fight? He looks for someone else to fuck?

I let out a hiccup and they pull away. Damien sees me and his eyes are full of regret.

I run away but Damien was quick in his feet. He grabbed my wrist and I try pulling away but his grip is too tight.

"What?!" I snap. My voice cracking a little.

"I'm sorry." Is all he says.

"For what? We aren't dating. We aren't a couple. So you can't cheat on me! Why is it that everytime I catch you with a girl, you feel bad and apologise?! Why?!" I snap.

"Because I love you! I fucking love you Ella. And I'm sorry I try distracting myself for those feelings towards you, but it's the truth." He says and my eyes widen.

~*~
A/n: 2405 words!!!! Yay!!! That's the most I've ever written.

Anyways...cliffhanger? Yeah sorry bout that just kinda felt like it.

So Damien finally admit it. What do you think Ella is gonna say?

Guys I might not be updating until like xmas or after Xmas. Which is why this chapter is kinda long. But Merry Christmas in advance!
