Cameron entered to the room followed by Alex and Samuel, one of the three guys felt safe and the atmosphere around them was heavy and dark. Lindsay and Damian were still hugging when they entered and they stood like that even of the looks that everyone gave them. Lindsay was able to see some kind of anger on Cameron´s eyes but she wished she had imagined it, she didn´t want Cameron to be mad. That could be dangerous for Damian.
"So guys how do you think you did?" asked Lindsay still surrender in Damian´s arms.
"I really don´t know, Ryan told me I have to be more vulnerable...I think it was a mistake avoiding bottom three for so long." said Samuel as he sat next to Lindsay. With her free hand she rubbed his shoulder in a comforting way. Samuel smiled and leaned on the wall in a melancholic way.
"And in my case I think I have been to many times on that stage. I don´t think I´m getting out this time." Alex sounded disappointed. Damian thanked god to have been safe that week because he knew that if at the end had been between him and Alex the last one was the favorite of Ryan. Maybe it was because he could do drag or because his unique kind of voice.
"What about you Cameron?" asked Damian as he saw how some tears appeared over Cameron´s eyes.
"I´m going home." he said and then he turned his head trying to avoid the others to see his tears. Damian stood up immediately and ran to hug Cameron.
Samuel looked at the action and then he turned to see Lindsay with a worried look.
"I tried." was the only thing she said and Samuel got it. He turned around and watched how Cameron responded to the hug as how he placed his face between Damian´s neck. He wanted to go and punch Cameron directly on the nose but he didn´t moved. It wasn´t the right time.
The room was silent and everyone was sitting on different couches or chairs; Samuel was the only one that was sitting on the floor with his head between his knees. That had been so close to be eliminated. Cameron was sitting on the kitchen bar looking directly to Lindsay that was on the couch with her eyes looking nowhere. Cameron wondered if she was thinking about Damian; his Damian.
The Irish guy was on a chair playing with his jacket zipper. He was happy Cameron was safe for another week but he also felt bad for Alex. He had been almost the same amount of times in front of Ryan and Damian feared that if he got to the fifth time he would also be cut off the competition.
"Okay, enough of sad faces." said suddenly Samuel as he jumped from his sitting position and ran across the room until the bedrooms. Lindsay raised his eyes and looked at the door where Samuel had disappeared seconds ago.
"What did just happen?" asked the girl to the boys that were also looking at the door.
"I think the pressure made him a little bit…" started Damian.
"Out of his mind?" ended Cameron. The Irish guy and the blond one smiled as they realized what they just had did. Lindsay sighed and leaned again on the couch.
Seconds later Samuel appeared with his MP3 and a recorder. Damian and Cameron exchanged some odd looks and then their attention went back toward Samuel that was turning on the recorder and putting his MP3 on it.
"I was thinking what if we give Lindsay a present for being the only girl left?" asked Samuel as he looked toward Lindsay. The girl blushed and looked at him puzzled.
"Sorry but I´m not following." said Cameron as he walked over Lindsay and sat next to her. Damian just walked over the machine and read the song Samuel had selected. The moment he recognized he smiled widely.
"I think I know what you want to do." He said almost as enigmatic as Samuel; he just missed Samuel´s sexy stare.
"What is it?" exclaimed Lindsay exited and also nervous. Cameron just stared at Damian that just blinked toward him.
"You know what? What if we also make a show for Cameron?" proposed Damian as he ran over the recorder followed by Samuel. When they were far enough Samuel whispered something on Damian´s ear and then the last one laughed and blushed. Cameron wondered what they were talking about. Lindsay on the other side was trying to figure out what those two guys were trying to do.
After some seconds Damian nodded and Samuel grabbed a chair from the kitchen and placed it and himself on the middle of the room. Cameron and Lindsay waited.
"Hit it!" Samuel said and Damian pressed the start bottom. The music that started sounded was cover made by Glee on the second season by Heather. Lindsay clapped and laughed excited; Cameron just stood silent.
We've been here too long tryin' to get along
Pretending that you're, oh, so shy
Samuel started dancing around the chair in a sexy way. Cameron looked away ashamed but Lindsay couldn´t stop laughing. Samuel was dancing something like the original Glee choreography but in a more manly way.
I'm a natural man doin' all I can
My temperature is runnin' high
Samuel unzipped his jacket and took it off on a sexy way and threw it to Cameron. The guy just put it aside trying to decide if to leave or to stay. Samuel kind of read his mind because he immediately stood up from the chair and walked over Lindsay with a sexy stare. The girl was as red as a tomato and she couldn´t stop smiling. He sat almost over her and kept singing and moving. Lindsay pushed him aside when he made an attempt to kiss her on the lips.
Do you wanna touch? Yeah
Do you wanna touch? Yeah
Do you wanna touch me there? Where? There, yeah, oh
Damian was looking some steps away as he made Samuel the chorus. He really knew how to move his body. Suddenly Samuel let the chair aside and took Damian of the arm and pulled him on the middle of the room. Damian didn´t knew what to do so he tried to remember what did the actress on glee. After some quick research on his memoires he was able to make something up in his mind. He decided to copy some of the things of the show plus something he remembered Cameron had made on the week of theatrically.
Every growin' boy needs a little joy
All you do is sit and stare
He pointed toward Cameron and kneeled next to him and touched his leg slightly. Cameron smiled and blushed but he didn´t put his leg away.
Beggin' on my knees, baby won't you please
Run your fingers through' my hair
Damian after put his hand on his hair and messed it up and then took a chair that was near him and put it next to Samuel´s. They sat on the chairs and kept singing. Damian was trying to figure out why he was doing it. It was just to make something fun or just to make Cameron want him? He kept eye contact with the blonde one as much as he could trying to find any kind of reacto on Cameron´s eyes. For a moment he expected disgust or maybe shame but instead he found…lust? He also unzipped his jacket but he didn´t threw it; he wanted Cameron to go and take it of him.
Do you wanna touch? Yeah
Do you wanna touch? Yeah
Do you wanna touch me there? Yeah
They made a signal to the other two to approached them but only Lindsay obeyed. She stood up and walked over them moving her hips as much as she could. Samuel and Damian thought she was going on Sam´s direction but then they realized her object was the younger one. She sat on his lap and put her head as close she could from him´s. She took Damian by his shirt and pulled him closer as she repeated the Yeah´s of the song.
Do you wanna touch? Yeah
Do you wanna touch? Yeah
Do you wanna touch me there? Where? There, yeah, oh
When the song ended Samuel was sitting on the other table trying to fight the urge of laugh. Damian and Lindsay were so close that with only one little push their lips would have connected. The idea had crossed over Samuel´s head but he had end up deciding to leave them alone. In the other hand Cameron was trying to hide his angriness. He hated the fact that Lindsay was on top of Damian and he didn´t seem bothered. He hadn´t pushed her away and he seemed to me enjoying the moment. Like if he wasn´t there.
"So what do you think Lindsay? We made you smile!" said Samuel as he stood up and put the chair on it´s place.
"Guys you are a complete pair of freaks. But I enjoy it." Admitted Lindsay as she stood up from Damian and took Samuel´s jacket from the couch. The other guy took it and then put it on. "And Damian, if you had moved 3 weeks ago like that you surely would have won the task."
Damian let a laugh escape from his lips. He really appreciated the comment but he wanted to know what Cameron thought about it. He had danced for him and he hoped he had made Cameron feel something.
"So what you are saying it´s that Damian is sexier than me?" asked Samuel as he hugged Lindsay from the back. Cameron looked at her wanted to know her answer.
"Of course he is sexier than you." Joked Lindsay but Cameron knew she was right. "Right Damian?
"Yeah, and you are also kind of hot." kept the joke Damian making Cameron angrier. He didn´t like Damian to see like that Lindsay or neither the opposite. Damian was his; none else´s.
"And what about you Cameron? Did you enjoyed Damian´s attention?" asked Samuel as he looked over Cam. The guy stood up and raised his shoulders.
"I thought it was a show for Lindsay." Was all he said before he left the room. When he passed next to Damian he pushed the smaller guy with his shoulder and Damian looked at the floor like if he felt ashamed. Samuel and Lindsay looked at each other worried but they kept silent.
"So guys, it was delicious. Now it´s time to say goodnight." Said Lindsay as she left her dish over the dining table and stood up from her sit. Cameron and Damian hadn´t talked since the performance but still they were sitting together.
"Hey, we gave you a show now you wash the dishes." exclaimed Samuel as he took Lindsay by the wrist and pull her over in a friendly mood. Damian touched his arm and remembered how rude Cameron had pulled him the other night; nothing like what Samuel had done with Lindsay.
"I never asked for a show. You did it voluntary so I don´t own you anything." She said pointing toward Samuel and Damian.
"I can wash the dished if you want." proposed Damian shyly.
"Did you see that Samuel? He is a gentleman." Pointed Lindsay as she snapped Samuel head with her hand.
"Well gentleman or not I´m going to bed; too much drama for me today. Are you coming too Cam?" Samuel looked over Cameron but the other one shook his head.
"I´m going to help Damian so he it doesn´t take long." lied Cameron. Samuel kind of bought it and before leaving the room he walked over Damian and whispered on his ear.
"Call if you need anything." Damian knew what it meant and he was sure it wouldn´t be necessary.
When the other two left and Cameron and Damian were left alone they started gathering the dishes in silence. Damian wanted to break the ice but he was too afraid to. He thought that anything he said would cause to make Cameron mad and then…let it led to other stuff.
Damian put the dishes on the sink while Cameron put the food on the refrigerator, Cameron looked over his shoulder and inspected every inch of his friend body. It was perfect. So perfect and he had let Lindsay to touch it. He felt jealous and mad. And maybe it was time to let Damian knew what he thought about Lindsay.
"So it was kind of hot your performance." aborted the subject. Damian looked up and then smiled as wide as he could.
"We tried but I´m not such a good dancer." added Damian; Cameron went closer to him and started helping him to dry the dishes.
"I think Lindsay liked it." Cameron as trying really hard to keep it cool, he didn´t want to look upset too soon.
"I didn´t noticed." I wanted you to like it. I was looking at you, thought Damian as he bit his lip figuring out what to say next.
"I think you acted a little bit cheap." That comment hurt Damian but he tried not to let it show. "I think that kind of performance make you lose some of your dignity."
Damian nodded and tried not to let tears fall from his eyes. Cameron hadn´t like it and plus that he was insulting him. He finished with the dishes and then moved toward the fridge to drink some soda. He felt like if he had something stuck on his throat, and that something were some tears.
"And I also didn´t like the way Lindsay went toward you."
"Well how a luck I didn´t ask your opinion because, I don´t imagine what you would have told me if I had asked you." fought back Damian without looking at Cameron. He didn´t know from where the words had come from but he wanted to take them back.
"I am just telling my opinion. I didn´t like the way Lindsay approached you."
"If you hadn´t been so coward and walked over me maybe she wouldn´t have stepped on me."
Cameron walked over Damian and by grabbing him by the shoulder he pushed against the fridge. Damian tighten his teeth and tried not to scream. Cameron was pressing to hard and was hurting him. There was again, the horrible Cameron that would hurt him without a reason.
"Like I told you before, I am telling you what I saw."
"And I think you are over reacting." Damian couldn´t look at Cameron´s eyes. They were too cold and harsh, like stones.
"It is morality Damian. What you did hours ago was devaluating yourself in front of dozens of cameras."
"Well I don´t think that; now get the hell off me." Damian as like throwing up the words. With no control and no seconds thoughts. It felt like if it was an instinct of fighting back. Suddenly Damain raized his hand up.
He is going to hit me.
That line crossed over Damian´s mind like a thousand times in less than a second.
He is going to hit me.
He needed to do something but what? He wasn´t strong enough to push Cameron and he didn´t want Lindsay or Samuel to go. What to do?
He is going to hit me.
"Cameron I swear to you that if you hit I´m going to scream and never talk you again." He said every word without any space. He closed his eyes and waited for the punch that never arrived. Damian opened his eyes and looked over Cameron that was still holding his shoulder with violence. Damian felt his throat dry but not his eyes. The tears were warning him they would fall in any time soon. On the other side Cameron´s eyes were like empty. The warning had made click on his brain just in time to stop the slap.
The older guy couldn´t believe what he had just about to do. He was going to hurt Damian. But I had a reason, tried to convince himself. He was still holding Damian and he didn´t know what to do.
"Cameron, let go off me." whispered Damian as he tried to break free. Cameron did let go but not the way Damian would have liked. By squeezing his shoulder even more he threw Damian to the floor. Damian was able to put his hands so he wouldn´t hit his head with the floor but because his slow reflects he sprained his wrist. For Damian it had happened all so quickly he couldn´t preceded it. One moment he was staring at Cameron´s empty eyes and the other he was on the floor with a pounding wrist.
Cameron looked over Damian but he didn´t help him to stand up. He just stared at him with his empty eyes and his hand still in a fist form. He turned around about to leave when Damian´s voice stopped him.
"I know you liked it!" Damian´s voice wasn´t loud so he wouldn´t wake up Samuel or Lindsay but it sounded upset. "I saw it in your eyes."
"What are you talking about" asked Cameron still not giving Damian his back.
"I saw your eyes while I danced for you. You wanted me and I know you still do."
Cameron turned around and looked over Damian with an incredulous look. He was right but he wasn´t going to let Damian know he was, it would be too dangerous.
"I thought I had made that clear enough the last time." Cameron wasn´t upset anymore. The rage of minutes before had already vanished; all that was left was an annoying feeling on the middle of his chest. Something like…Guilt? After he finished his sentence Cameron turned around again and this time he really left the room. Damian followed him with his eyes until he disappeared.
Now his tears really felt form his eyes. Now he was scared, he didn´t know anymore was Cameron capable of doing to him but…He was hurting him. .
Damian´s POV
"Well, you should tell that to your eyes." I told myself as I poured cold water on my wrist. Damn it, it really hurt. My wrist was red and it was almost the twice of the size of my other wrist and I feared it wouldn´t lowered by the time Samuel and Lindsay saw me.
I must have been sick; sick and stupid but I still loved Cameron. I loved him with my soul and I couldn´t accept the fact that it was one sided. No, it wasn´t. Cameron loved me back, or at least he wanted me. I had seen it and he couldn´t deny it.
"But he can fake it." I kept talking with myself as I covered my wrist with a towel and the put some ice cubs over it. The coldness was making numb my skin and I could stop feeling the pain on it. The coldness. Those eyes; that kind of look that Cameron had given me made almost unbearable for me to keep the tears for myself.
Suddenly I realized something. Cameron had acted like that because of Lindsay. He was jealous of Lindsay. And if he was jealous it meant I cared for him; and if he cared for me that should mean.
"I knew it." I almost screamed because of the excitement.
That should mean he was in love with me.
So I´m trying to put both points of view in an abusive relationship but because I had only been in tocuh with the victim part I´m not sure how the abusive part works that well...( I have an idea but not too concret). So if you have any sugestion I would be please to hear them and thank you for my reviewers. Really everytome I get an e-mail you make my day shine. Love and see you soon.
