One and Only

Chapter 2

Cameron Devins was tall. By the time he was a junior in high school (and Esha was a sophomore), he was already 6'5, (she was only 5'1).

But no he wasn't some skinny-scrawny tall kid. He was tall, muscular and handsome. A triple threat.

Yet when Cameron walked through that door she realized how much different he looked. He stood tall at probably 6'7, he had gained much more muscle mass and he was way more handsome.

But it was all just different, she didn't know this Cameron.

In the little time, she zoned out Esha wasn't expecting Cameron to enter and hug her. So when her body was engulfed by his huge ass arms, she froze, everything froze.

And then she shoved him away.

Cameron, on the other hand, looked shocked and hurt by Esha's actions.

Esha could care less.

Instead, she looked at Cameron right in the eyes and stared at him with mixed emotions.

The room was indeed filled with thick tension.

Esha's pov

I let out a deep breath that I didn't even know I was holding, "Look Cameron I really appreciate you helping me, but I'm fine now, so please please leave me alone. I really, don't ever want to see you again."

Cameron stared and me for a good five seconds and then proceeded to make his way towards me.

I watched his every move toward me, like a hawk. I didn't want him to be near me. He bent down until he was face to face with me. I stared at his eyes, those same eyes I knew for so long.

He slowly brought his lips towards my ear.

"Yesterday, I watched you collapse on to the floor and I suffered watching you in pain. I have done many things that are questionable in life but you Esha were one of the best things that happened to me. This time I'm not letting you leave my life without a fight."

"GET.LOST," I grit out, I was not ready to deal with his bullshit.

" I'm not letting you go."

With that, he swiftly turned around and left the room slamming the door along the way.

Leaving me to ponder on what he said.

If only I knew that Cameron was going to be staying in my life for a little more longer than I ever wanted.

It's been a week since I have been discharged.

The doctor said I had a benign tumor in the brain, it was growing really slow, but I might have to do radiation therapy and surgery. Thankfully it wasn't cancerous.

For now, I am continuing my classes but my headaches are getting worse and I'm scared the seizures will come back.

I had to let my professors know why I was absent for a whole week.

While I was making my way towards my last class I faintly heard Diana yelling my name.

I turned around as Diana made her way towards me out of breath

"There is a fight!-Ashton and Cameron! In the soccer grounds!"

She didn't have to tell me twice, I dashed out to the soccer fields.

The faint throbbing in my head ignored.

From far I could see a huge crowd and I picked up my speed. I felt like I was going to hurl, the exhaustion seeping through,

I squeezed through the crowd until I spotted both Ashton and Cameron.

"Come on pretty boy, why aren't you fighting back? " Ashton sneers at Cameron.

Ashton goes for a punch but Cameron dodges it easily.

Why did this seem so familiar?

Cameron's eyes look deadly.He was going for the kill, I had to something.

Cameron pulled his arm back and curled his fists. Everything seemed like it was going in slow motion.

Shit! Shit! Shit! I had to do something!

"CAMERON STOP! PLEASE STOP!" I yell jumping in front of him.

Cameron freezes for a second, then he realizes it's me and drops his hands.

Everything immediately goes silent. The screaming, the yelling, replaced with silence.

Cameron clenches his fists and glares at Ashton.

He grabs my hand, "You're fuck'n coming with me."

"She's not going anywhere with you, you asshole," Ashton yells trying to pull me behind him.

Cameron narrowed his eyes and stood tall, both idiots trying to intimidate one another.

I scrunched up my eyes, "Ashton please stop," I say slowly.

Aston looks at me with hurt and betrayal evident in his eyes, but quickly covers it up.

"I'm going to go with him," I say pointing to Cameron "I will talk to you at home."

I grabbed Cameron's hand without looking at anybody's reaction and walked faraway from the crowd, to god knows where.

***

"I told you specifically that I don't want you back in my life. That includes my friends too Cameron. Please, I'm begging you, leave me and my friends alone," I yell at Cameron with anger.

I wanted to kick him the face right now especially because he wasn't responding and just staring at me.

"He was the one who started the fight," he replied after I don't know how long.

"And he was the one to throw the first punch."

I clench my jaw, fuck guess it wasn't his fault then.

I was going to kill Ashton when I get home.

"Look Cameron I'm sorry for whatever Ashton did, and I promise he won't ever do it again. Please forget about it and move on with your life."

I turned around, ready to walk away, only for Cameron to grab my hand and pull me back crashing me against his chest along the way.

"We're not done just yet, Esha, " he muttered lowly.

My eyes trailed his features.

"I'm picking you up on Sunday we're going together for a second opinion and to schedule an appointment for the best surgeon if needed."

"Wh-at are you talking about?" I say trying to play dumb.

How did he know? My friends couldn't have told him.

He looks at me with amusement. He lets me go and takes a step back. The warmth that once surrounded me, gone.

" Told the doctor you were my wife, before your friends came, plus my last name takes me long way."

That sneaky bastard.

"You are not picking me up and we are not going anywhere, do you understand", I say poking at his chest.

Cameron glares at me and grabs the hand I was poking him with, "YOU ARE COMING WITH ME, AND THAT'S FINAL."

"Don't make me drag you out of your house, Esha," he whispered huskily.

And that's how ladies and gentlemen, I knew I was royally fucked.
