Chapter 17
*3 months later*
It's been a year and two months since he got locked up.
After graduation and the whole William situation, i've spent more time with everyone and got a lot closer to them. We all have been looking at colleges near each other but we all know we wanna get far away from here.
"Camille wake up we gotta run." Every morning for the past 3 months Chi and I have been going on runs around town, she says it's going to help clear my mind from all my negativity.
"It is 5 in the morning Chicago." I pulled the pillow that was laying next to me over my head. "Never call me by my full name ever again. Now, get up. I can feel your negative energy from here."
I rolled out of my bed and onto the floor. Eventually, I got up and put on a black tank top and red shorts.
"I don't know why I get up and run with you, all you do is make fun of me" I grabbed my toothbrush and began brushing my teeth.
"I make fun of you because you manage to trip over absolutely nothing." I rolled my eyes and wiped my mouth, "It's a talent i've occurred over the years."
"Let's go, we're already behind schedule!"
"You are the only person who has a schedule Chi."
After our run my legs felt like jelly and continued to give out on me as I walked to a breakfast diner with Chi near by.
"Chi i'm not gonna make it." I leaned on her shoulder while taking deep breaths, "It's from all that negativ-"
"Chi if I hear you talk about negativity one more time i'm going to knock my head on this concrete."
"Now you're just being dramatic." We finally made it to the diner and found our seats.
As I was looking over the menu I felt the seat dent next to me.
"Ladies, how are we on this fine morning?" As I looked over I saw no one other then William. My eyes snapped to Chi and she stared harshly at his movements. "Oh the silent treatment, rough. Good thing that's the way I like it."
"I think I just threw up in my mouth." I moved my body all the way on top of the wall next to me and covered my mouth, really hoping he'd get the hint, which he did not. He only moved closer.
"Hey! Camille! Thank you for saving seats for us girl!" Brea and Anara ran into the diner and stared at Will sitting next to me, "Excuse me....you're in my seat." Brea gave Will the fakest smile i've ever seen.
"Well it appears I am." He slowly turned his head towards her.
"Yea. So move. Now." He glanced at me and let out a deep chuckle, his hand made its way to my hip, which he squeezed hard causing me to yell in pain, "She really should of been a little more friendly."
I looked at the girls who looked back at each other with the same expression I had, "We have to tell Dante..."
"I'm not telling him!"
"Well i'm not telling him!"
"So we all agree Aiden can tell him." We all nodded our head and finished our meal.
——————-
"Why are you all here....and why are you looking at me like that." Aiden slowly opened the front door and stepped back.
"Camille go on...tell him." I gasped and looked at Anara who smiled back at me, "She set me up. But...we have news that you're not gonna like."
Dillion walked in the room along with Kace and Ryker, "What bad news?"
"Um...we were hoping to talk to Aiden alone." I avoided eye contact with any of them. "We didn't ask."
"Rude." I rolled my eyes, walked into the living room and plopped onto the couch.
"Camille stop avoiding my question."
"I don't avoid questions, I just simply don't answer them." I turned through the channels...Twilight, hello Taylor Lautner.
Ryker took the remote from my hands and turned the Tv off. "Ryker! What the fuck!"
"Tell us now." His voice got deeper and more demanding, none of them were as scary as Dante is though.
I sat up on the couch and rested my elbows on my knees. "Will was at the restaurant we ate breakfast at."
All of their faces dropped and hardened, "Camille you have to tell them the rest." Chi reminded me.
"And he sat next to me."
"Camille." Kace warned me, "And he got mad and....and he squeezed my hip." I pulled down a small section of my shorts to reveal a bruise.
Dillion got up and paced around the room. "I fucking told his stupid ass not to let you visit him. I fucking told him." He grabbed his keys and opened the front door, "Well
come on. Someone has to tell him, so we're all going."
"Can we do tha-" Before I could finish Aiden pushed my body out the door, "We can now."
The ride to the station was silent, you could feel the tension, I was almost dying it was so thick.
The boys stormed into the police station, "Excuse me. How can I help you guys?"
"We're here for Dante, tell him Ry is here."
"Only one of you can go back to see him." She laid her hands on her hips and gave us all pointed looks.
"I'm sorry Miss, but we all have to see him. Now. It's urgent."
"I'm sorry but we cannot let you all go back there." Ryker sighed in frustration and pulled a hundred dollar bill from his wallet. "Follow me."
Ryker paid her extra to let Dante sit in a room, uncuffed, for an hour with all of us.
I sit with my back to the door. He hasn't wanted to see me this entire time...and now we are going to be sitting face to face, no glass, no phone, just us.
"Ryker what is this abo-" As I heard his voice I instantly turned around. "Dillion I thought it was your idea that she never comes back. I'm losing my mind in here but i'm not this crazy."
"D sit down." His eyes never left mine as he sat down.
"Whatever it is, I wanna hear it from her." I slowly closed my eyes as I felt my heart drop to my ass.
"I know about Will." I looked around at everyone's face, I noticed Aiden shake his head slightly before giving me a fake smile.
"Ok, what about Will."
Why is he being so nonchalant about this?
"Chi and I went on a run and then got breakfast at a diner, we were supposed to meet Anara and Brea, Will saw us and sat next to me. Something they said pissed him off and he grabbed my hip and squeezed it."
My eyes finally met his, they were filled with just pure anger, that's the only thing I saw.
He looked away from me and at Dillion, "How long do you have."
"An hour, I could get us more time but I doubt another hundred would cut it."
"Yeah Ry, she didn't want your money she wanted some that ass." I tried to let out a laugh but it came out as more of a breath.
Dante eyes never left mine, he watched every move I made. "Leave us."
No one questioned anything, they just left.
Great. Now i'm alone with the man who ignored my attempts to visit him for over a year now. This is what life has come to.
"I'm getting out early." I only could nod in response, you would think after not seeing him for a year there would be so much to say, but there's just nothing.
"What? You mad at me?" The smirk painted on his face told me enough. "You missed me didn't you, Dante."
"I'm only getting out early because of you, other wise I would of escaped this place and left a warrant out for my arrest. I'm doing my time for you." He stood up and grabbed my body, pulled me into him and hugged me tightly, "I bribed the station again, they're letting me out next month."
