Trevor's POV.
Adah. She called me reporting that Toby is being difficult. She talked about how Toby doesn't care about her or their 'future', how he's swearing and how he yelled at her.
Honestly, if I was Toby, I'll have broken up with her long ago.
Then he said the icing on the cake, she broke up with him. Yay!
"Wow, I'm so happy for Toby." I said.
"What? What do you mean?" She asked.
"I mean, he's free to date someone who doesn't care about money all the time, who's caring, ambitious but not too passionate about it. And maybe someone who really cares about how he feels." I replied.
"What? I care about Toby. He doesn't care one bit about--"
"--Toby cares about you so don't tell me that bullshit. In fact, he loves you with the fact that he has been with you all these years. Plus, I'm pretty sure he's so whipped and dumb to the extent that he has been trying to call you." I cut her off.
"You lost a good man and I'm so happy for him. With that settled, I'm very busy. So call me never Adah." I said and hung up.
How did she even get my number?
I called Toby and he picked. He said hello and sounded very stressed.
"I heard about your break up." I said.
"What the-- how do you know?" He asked.
"I have my sources. Congratulations. Now don't be a loser and call her back you understand?" I replied.
"I just don't know, she really doesn't understand." He said.
"I called her. She said she doesn't like you anymore. I begged her to reconsider but she said no. You're on your own buddy. Why don't you go out and have drinks? That'll be helpful." I lied.
"I can't believe she said that. And I can't believe you begged her? And I can't believe you're lying to me? Do you hate her that much?" He asked.
No I love you that much. But I won't tell him, NEVER!
"You just don't deserve a passionate and ambitious girl like Adah. Besides, I'm pretty sure you'll get divorced if you marry." I said.
"You know what Trev, bye." He said.
"Okay wait....... Just--"
"--just what?" He asked.
"Know your worth, okay?" I said and hung up.
Their love life isn't my effin business. My secretary came in and told me I have a board meeting in less than an hour.
Well, duty calls.
Toby's POV
Camilla. One of the most beautiful essays I've ever seen has been written by her, and I've seen a lot. There a lot of things going on in that head of hers that no one can ever notice. The same is for her big heart that is blocked from eyesight with big walls.
All she needs is to break them down.
I picked up my phone and dialed her number. She picked.
"Su T."
"How are you doing?" I asked her.
"I'm full." She replied.
"Ah. Glad to hear that." I said smiling.
"So, I've seen it." I added.
"Oh."
"Why didn't you give it to me in person?" I asked her.
"Wanted too." She replied.
Or she is just nervous?
"And why couldn't you wait till Monday?" I asked her.
"Didn't want to." She replied.
Or she just couldn't wait?
"It's nice. Is Ken in the air?" I asked her.
"Yeah." She replied.
"Cool. How's your day going?" I asked.
"Eh. I'm babysitting!" She said.
"No you're not!!" I heard a tiny voice.
"What the f Cleo!" She said.
Her younger sister.
"She's just like that because I preferred staying home like a lazy pig instead of going to scoop with her." She ranted.
"I'm bored!"
"Cleo. I'm on the phone! Be twice your age for a sec." She told her sister.
"Why don't you take her to scoop?" I asked her.
"Cause I don't want go out." She replied.
"It's nice out." I said.
She needs fresh air. She really does!
"Yeah I know but......"
"Tell you what? I could tag along." I offered.
"I don't know...." She sounded unsure.
"It's not compulsory Camilla." I said.
"I know. Aiit, screw it. I'll meet you at scoop. But you're paying!!" She notified.
"No problem." I said and she hung up. I stood up and grabbed my jacket leaving the office for today.
-*-
"Cleo, Toby. Toby, Cleo."
"Nice to meet you." I told her.
"You too." She said smiling and sat down. Camilla shrugged at me and sat down.
"So, bucket list hnn?" I asked her.
"Yup." She replied popping the 'p'.
"But I don't wanna talk about therapy stuff right now." She told me.
"Sure. What would you like to order?" I asked her.
"Chocolate milkshake, chocolate cookies and muffins. And don't forget take outs. We can also add cupcakes." She replied looking so mischevious.
"Why do I feel like you're trying to make me regret calling you out?" I asked her smiling. She laughed.
"You call me out, you deal with the consequences." She replied.
"Whatever." I said.
We ordered and I have no idea why Camilla wants to eat all these cavities but who am I to ask?
"So, what is going on in your life?" She asked me.
"Your other crazy patients? Ooh, your nice ass girlfriend?" She asked.
"Well, as a matter of fact, she dumped me this morning." I replied and supped my coffee.
It really hurts that Adah won't understand me or even care about my weakness. It's my 'dad' we're talking about!
"Ouch." Camilla said.
"You must feel so happy. Trevor said she's an overcontrolling freak." She added eating her muffins. Trevor🙄.
"Well I like her like that. And she's not that controlling." I defended. Well a little but not 'over' controlling.
"T, she's your fiancee and you're not even using the L word. Something's wrong. In my opinion though, something has always been wrong." She said.
"Not true. Adah's very nice. She just makes some rash decisions sometimes." I said.
"And you as a therapist believe anyone can change hnn?" She asked me. I nod slowly and she laughed out like I was the most idiotic person she has ever met.
"Dear ol' Toby, people can never change. Especially when their partner is a therapist and they've not changed for the past...?"
"Five years." I completed. She laughed again.
"Toby, you can help to reduce the nomalcy of a person but not totally get rid of their attitude. I really think you deserve someone better." She said.
"Like who?" I asked.
"Your opposite. If you think about it, you're stuck up, she's stuck up, it all adds up to a stuck up relationship with no fun. Let me guess, all you ever talk about is the future, future, savings, jobs, promotions, how good it will be for your future, drinking coffee every Friday nights and fucking once in a while, Cleo you did not hear that." Camilla said. Cleo smiled, her cheeks red and she walked to an empty table.
I turned to Camilla. She might just be eighteen, but she really knows a lot. And all we do ever talk about is the future. I sighed. As much I hate to admit it, she's right. I sipped my coffee.
"You need someone fun in your life. Tell you what? The best way to get over a breakup is going clubbing and drinking your hearts out." She added.
"That isn't true." I said.
"Yes, have the theories and all. But your heart just wants all that distraction it can get." She said.
"I'm gonna call her tomorrow when she's calm." I finalized drinking my coffee.
"Oh boy! You just telling her you can't live without her. It makes her prouder and arrogant." She said.
"Well she's my fiancee. If we can't get through this, how will we cope when we get married?" I asked her.
"Then maybe you shouldn't get married at all."
What?
Camilla's POV
Toby. How can a therapist be so dumb? I can't really blame him though. They're trained to see the good in everyone and everything.
Guess what's not like that? Good ol' Life! There are always negative aspects of life that can never be ignored.
Eg, me watching my best friend leave.
I ate my muffins and sipped my milkshake. He looks torn and worried. I'm sure he has never thought about 'not marrying' his so-called fiancee.
If I was Toby, I would've had a loud party thanking God for relieving me out of a toxic relationship. Who likes being controlled?
"I guess you're right." He mumbled.
"About what part exactly?" I asked eating my muffin.
"I need a distraction. Or maybe I just need to think. Whether the relationship is good for me or not." He replied. I scoffed.
"Trust me, it's not. But you do you." I said. He sipped his coffee.
"Anyways, guess what?" I asked him.
"What?" He asked.
"Zayn and I are oficially friends. Only on a condition that my phone won't be buzzing with messages on and on and he won't be a flirt." I replied. He smiled.
"And how's that going?" He asked. I sighed.
"I have ten messages on my phone right now, one contained 'babe'." I replied. He laughed.
"What a lad." He said.
"I know. But that's just him. Right?" I asked him.
"Relationships, either friendship or any other works on one thing. Communication." He replied.
"He takes communication to the highest level." I said.
"Of course. I'm sure he's so happy right now that you've agreed to be his friend." Toby said.
"Yeah but I wonder why. I mean....." I sighed and sipped my milkshake.
Why would anyone be happy to have me as a friend?
"Because you are fun to be with." Toby said. I looked at him and he smiled. He has a nice smile by the way.
"Fun? Our conversation was mainly about his past and all. Which I won't tell you because it's personal." I clarified. He told me because he felt it was safe with me. Right? Anyhow, I'm keeping it.
"I won't ask Camilla. But I'm sure you listened to him. And being a good friend sometimes is all about being a listener. It makes a person feel cared and loved." He said.
"I feel it seems pitiful. Like, why would you want to listen to my problems? To say 'aww, I'm sorry'?" I asked him.
"Did you listen to him because you pitied him?" He asked me.
"No. I wanted too." I replied honestly.
"Exactly Cam. A friend 'wants' too." He said.
"Because it's their duty?" I asked. I hate duties.
"No. Because they want too. Because they care about you." He replied. I sighed and ate my muffins slowly. His phone beeped and he picked it.
"Excuse me." He told me. I nod and he turned.
"Hey Syl..... Yes, no. I'm at scoop...... Yes the ice cream store....... Cam's here....... Alright. We'll be expecting." He said and dropped his phone on the table.
"Sylvain's coming?" I asked him.
"Yep." He replied.
"Oh, that's cool. Maybe we could take he and Cleo to the park?"
"That'll be nice." He said.
"Aren't you like busy or what?" I asked.
"Nah. I'm done for the day." He replied. Cool.
"Sweet." I said and turned to Cleo.
"Come." I beckoned to her. She walked and sat beside me.
"Yeah?" She asked.
"You're going to the park." I replied.
"Yay." She said sarcastically.
"What? You don't want too?" I asked her.
"In case you've forgotten, I'm twelve." She replied. I raised my eyebrows.
"You wanted to go out." I said.
"Because I was bored. I just wanted to have ice cream not go to the park." She said.
"Okay fine, fine." I said.
"Oh, Sylvain's here." Toby said.
"Sylvain?" Cleo asked.
"Why? You know...?"
"Camilla!!"
I turned to see Sylvain walking to our table holding a box. He stood beside me and I hugged him. When I pulled away, he said hello to Toby and turned. His face changed.
"Cleo?"
Cleo's POV.
Sylvain. He's here. Right here. I turned to Camilla and she looked confused. I sighed.
"Sylvain's the boy I ditched for Chelsea." I told her.
"And she's the girl who ditched me!" Sylvain said.
"Whoa whoa whoa. Cleo's the girl you were talking about?" Camilla asked Sylvain.
"Uh uhn. She's your sister?" He asked her.
"Yes, yes Cleo is my sister. And she's been feeling so terrible about what she did to you." Camilla said.
"I agree." Toby, Camilla's friend said. Sylvain turned to stare at me and I looked down.
"Well this is awkward." Sylvain said.
"I think you guys need to talk." Toby advised. I turned to Sylvain and he sighed.
"Yeah sure."
Camilla and Toby stood up and went wherever they went too and Sylvain sat on the chair.
"I'm sorry." I apologized again.
"I know." He said and played with his camera.
"I never knew you were Cam's sister." He added.
"She's cool and you're well you." He continued.
"Yeah she is." I said.
"Are you and Chelsea friends now?" He asked me.
"No. We're not friends anymore." I replied.
"I guess your nightmare came true." He said smiling. Is it funny to him?
"You can say that." I said playing with my ice cream scoop.
"I'm sorry." He mumbled. I looked up and he smiled.
"I have been difficult haven't I?" He asked. I shook my head no.
"I know I have. I just, I hate it when I'm being taken for granted." He said.
"Everyone does Syl. And I'm very sorry I ditched you that day Sylvain. I regretted it." I said.
"I left a potential friend I could have and went on to chase some one who doesn't give a hoot about me." I added. He chuckled.
"Happens to the best of us." He nudged and I smiled.
"So, are we cool now?" I asked. He looked at me and shrugged.
"Sure. We're cool." He replied and we fist bumped. I sighed relieved.
"You have no idea how happy I am right now." I said.
"Me too." He said and we both laughed. I turned to see Toby and Camilla laughing too.
"Weird." I said.
"What's that?" Sylvain asked.
"Camilla doesn't laugh with just anyone except Ken." I replied.
"Toby isn't just anyone. He's her therapist." Sylvain said.
"Ooh. Cool. That makes sense." I said and turned to my melting ice cream.
"And he's your brother?" I asked taking a huge scoop of my ice cream and licked it.
"Yeah." He replied.
"Do you want ice cream?" I asked him.
"Yeah. I actually wanted to go to the park." He replied.
"Really? Can I come with you?" I asked.
"Of course."
"Friend." He added. I smiled happily.
"Thanks." I said.
"Want to exchange numbers?" He asked.
"Sure."
-*-
We all went to the park. Sylvain and I went on rides, rollercoaster and the ferris wheel. Played some games and won a lot of things. It was so fun and I felt really happy that I've made up with Sylvain. He's so funny and cool.
I'll love to spend more time with him in the future😁.
"Smile." He said. I smiled and he took a picture.
Clauda's POV
Evening. Camilla left me in charge of the house and I had a busy task keeping Fabian's friends away from breaking stuffs or crashing on places they're not supposed to crash at.
And Fabian's nowhere to be found. Probably making out with Ivy or something in his room.
I grabbed a glass of lemonade from the kitchen and walked to the living room. I heard noises and voices and i groaned.
"Oh, bye Clauda." I heard. I turned to see the boys walking out of the door. I stood up.
Thank God!!
"Byeee." I said ecstatic.
"Bye Clauds. See you, nice cookies by the way." I think his name is Dale said.
"Thanks, and bye." I said and he left. They all trooped out saying their byes and when they were gone, I turned and sat on the couch happily. Skye came to me and I carried it.
"Hey."
I turned to see Lennard walking towards me. What does he want now?
"Hi." I greeted.
"You're still here?" I asked. Well obviously, but i wonder why he didn't go with the others. He nodded and i turned to the TV.
"Are you still mad at me?" He asked.
"Why should I?" I asked him. He sat beside me.
"You didn't join us at the pool and you kind of secluded yourself." He replied.
"And you think I did all that because of you?" I asked. He nod and I laughed.
He's such a fool. I wonder why I liked him in the first place? He's so dumb.
"Well my friend, no. It's not because of you." I said.
"Are you sure?"
Urgh!
"Lennard. My world does not revolve around you, nor does anything I do is because of your existence because I don't give a damn." I said.
"You did." He said.
"As in past tense. And even when I 'did', my world never relied on your existence." I said. He nod and turned to the TV.
"I think I haven't been completely honest with you Clauds." He said.
"About what?" I asked him.
"I can't stop thinking about that kiss." He replied.
"Or you." He added. I scoffed.
"Truly!" He said and sighed.
"You might see me as a jerk, but I really care about you." He continued.
"That's so sweet Len. But I'm not into you anymore. Sorry." I said. He moved closer to me.
"That can't be true. You can't just totally forget about me." He said and held my hand.
"Yes I can and take your hands off me." I said and shoved his hands away.
"I won't be another fun ride of yours." I said standing up. He stood up too.
I won't be stupid ever again!
"I don't see you as a fun ride. Sincerely Clauda. I think I like---"
"Stop." I said. He looked at me straight into the eyes and I moved farther from him.
"I don't like you anymore Len. You shouldn't too." I said. I grabbed Skye and walked away. I walked into my room and sat on my study chair, Skye in my arms.
I couldn't stop the 'what if's' running through my brain but i tried to ignore it. I would not let my feelings be taken advantage off every again! I won't be a fool to believe that someone like Len would ever like me back the way I do again!
After all, hurt me once, shame on you but hurt me twice, shame on me!
And I'll never be that girl ever again.
