It's all an act.

Kameron.
I froze for a moment, never have seeing her breakdown in front of me before. I then wrapped my arms around her, kissing her forehead,"Let it out, sweetheart,"I said quietly, rubbing her back.

[haileyjordan]

Everly,
I cried, glad that the water from the shower could cover up my tears. I was embarrassed to cry so much in front of him. "I'm sorry," I said through my tears, shaking my head. This was just so much for me. I just needed to cry, that's all I needed.

[lauren.]

Kameron.
"Don't be sorry, baby. You've done nothing wrong,"I said soothingly. She hasn't. She has done nothing wrong. I kissed the side of her head again, just letting her go. It broken my heart that I couldn't stop them from falling.

[haileyjordan]

Everly,
My cries began to die down as they just turned into sniffles. I rested my head against his chest, wiping my eyes though it really didn't do much. "I don't know how much more I can take of this." I said softly. And I didn't. I had never been so exhausted in my life.

[lauren.]

Kameron.
"I know,"I whispered as I held her tightly to me as if she'd disappear any moment. With what happened yesterday... She didn't have that much longer. I closed my eyes tight wishing I could cry to express to her how much this was hurting me also.

[haileyjordan]

Everly,
I swallowed, biting my lip. "Why can't you just reMark me? Is it because he has more seniority over you?" I asked. And it reMarking wasn't technically legal, why hadn't anyone come for Attica yet? I ran my hand gently down Kameron's chest.

[lauren.]

Kameron.
I closed my eyes breathing in,"If I tried to reMark you, you would die. And it would be a slow and painful death,"I said looking down at her. She pretty much had death written on her being attached to Attica but I would find a way to kill him.

[haileyjordan]

Everly,
I looked up at him. I would never fully understand. It just frustrated me that every possible solution ended with death. "I don't want to be sad anymore." I whispered. I released myself from his grip, turning off the shower. "It's just hard." I stepped out, wrapping a towel around my body. I knew I was being stubborn, but this kind of did revolve around me.

[lauren.]

Kameron.
I stood in the shower for a little bit longer, watching the water go to the drain. I sighed and ran a hand down my face. I was trying everything in my power to help her, to make her happy, and once again I was failing at that. I stepped out of the shower wrapping a towel around my waist. I didn't know what to say. I wanted to yell at her that I was doing the best that I could or just cradle her in my arms forever. But I know neither of those options would work. I was tired, just like she was, but I can't sleep anymore. Not with the knowledge that Attica could come at any moment.

[haileyjordan]

Everly,
I slowly brushed out my hair, looking at myself in the mirror. I glanced over at Kameron, seeing the pain in his eyes as well. I felt so bad. I was trying so hard, but I couldn't lie and say that I was happy. There were some times when I really contemplated just letting Attica drain me. The pain was beginning to become unbearable.

[lauren.]

Kameron.
I had read her thoughts for that moment and froze , staring at her. I didn't say anything though. She just wanted Attica to drain her? Of course I didn't understand or feel the pain she was going through but I didn't know how I could coop with her gone. Forever. I felt anger surge through my body, I needed to leave. I needed to do something. And that something was to kill Attica. "I'm going out,"I muttered as I walked out of the bathroom to head to my room to change. I couldn't handle this anymore, I wanted him gone.

[haileyjordan]

Everly,
I watched him leave the bathroom rather quickly. I sighed, knowing we were both just frustrated right now. I knew that he wasn't going to be doing something good, but I needed to leave him alone right now.

[lauren.]

Kameron.
I got changed quickly wrapping the gauze tightly around my waist. I was going to rip Attica apart. I just needed to figure out where he was. Where the hell are you? I thought as I disappeared from the house and found myself in a park.

[haileyjordan]

Attica,
I smirked when I heard Kameron's voice in my head. I appeared at the park, a distance away from him. "Back for more, I suppose?" I asked, clasping my hands together. He didn't know when to give up.

[lauren.]

Kameron.
"Why are you trying so hard to kill her and ruin my life?"I growled as my eyes landed on him. I hated seeing that damn smug look on his face, like he knows he's already won but he hasn't.
