A/N: Ello again! My fingers have been itching to write another chapter of this for a while now, but enough of this, lets get to what happened last chapter!
Ok so last chapter, Lightning finally found out Jo was a girl. ( Took him long enough! LOL) Jo might be going a little crazy with this voice that's stuck in her head. Mike met up with someone he'd rather not have met again from his past, but while he was conversing with that person in his mind, Ann Maria was busy making out with him... er... his other personality/self Vito! Zoey seems to have forgotten her sorrow because of Brick.
A quick note: Excerpts from Cam's book will be written like, "this".
So I hope you enjoy this chapter of Heartless!
(Cameron's POV)
I can't believe Mike never told Zoey about his disorder... As his best friend I really worry about him. It's hard to believe he thinks so low of Zoey, though I can understand his concern, it's still not easy to wrap my head around. I thought twiddling the flower Zoey dropped, Then there's Zoey, who cares for Mike dearly, yet is kept out in the dark because he is scared. I sighed deeply, "Mike just tell Zoey. She'd understand." What's concerning me with Zoey is I don't understand why she left so suddenly, I get she had a broken heart, but my book clearly stated she'd feel better if she talked about it... I sighed again as I looked at the book I got the information, "The Psycho-analysis of the Human Female" A small smile crossed my lips, This book is the best! It allows me to understand people like Jo to Ann Maria to Dawn!
I looked around, making sure no one was near me, when the coast was clear, I opened up the book from the last page I was on, "... During a this time of the month, Women tend to go through many different moods and behaviors. The most common are Anxiety, mood swings, Withdrawal from loved ones, Aggression, Anger, or sadness. ..." Woah... Zoey and Jo showed a few of these symptoms... I wonder... "... They also tend to crave foods, normally salty or sweet. This is a very normal process and happens once every month for a week. (average of two to five days long)..." Oh so Zoey and Jo are on this! Now I completely understand why the were acting so weird this week!
I smiled, proud of my discovery, "Ah... I love knowledge." I placed Zoey's flower gently in my book, marking my page, before softly closing my book. "I can't wait to finish some more of this, then I'll know everything there is to know about the mystery surrounding my female competitors!" I grinned as I stood up, "Now to find Mike and talk him into telling Zoey the truth."
I ran around the island for quite sometime before I saw two figures on the docks... kissing?! I was too far away from them to see who they were, so I walked quietly towards them, far enough thy won't see me, but close enough to tell who they are. Mike...uh I mean Vito and Ann Maria?! Aww man, I guess this is what Zoey was crying about and on top of that, I believe it's also her time of month according to the symptoms my book was talking about... I guess I should scream something, at least to see if he'll change for me or if Zoey has to be involved. "Hey I need you for something!"Hm... How to get Mike's attention? ... Oh I know! "Hey Mike! Zoey needs you!" I feel bad about lying, but it's necessary if I wanna help Zoey and Mike move further into a happy relationship.
(Vito's Pov)
I was kissin' ma babe's addictive lips before I heard dis really annoy'in voice screamin somethin'. The voice screamed louder and more clear the second time around, "Hey Mike! Zoey needs you!" somethin' was wrong... I felt myself losing control. I tried to stop it, but my attempts seemed futile becaus before I knew it, I was surrounded in darkness.
I hate it when dat happens... I thought angrily as the darkness started llightin' up. "Ah... welcome back Vito." Dat voice... No i-it can't be ... I thought he w-was gone... B-but how?!
"Seamus?" I blinked as the light became brighter, "Is dat you?"
"Why yes, it is Vito, I'm glad you remember me." Once I had gotten used to the light, I glanced up at his smiling face.
"What do ya want anyway?" I asked, getting off the floor, "You are not a nice guy."
He sighed dramatically, "Vito I'm hurt. Why would I need a reason to talk to you?" I stood silent, glaring at him with crossed arms. "Fine," his 'smile' fell, "I want to make a deal with you."
I raised a eyebrow, "What kind a deal?"
He smirked, "One I know you can't refuse."
I stared at him skeptically, "And that would be?"
His smirk widened as he lent closer to my ear and whispered softly...
(At the same time; Mike's POV)
But... What will I do? The other's won't join in his sick twisted plans would they? Do they despise me that much?
I was talking with Seamus before I felt myself taking back control of my body. What? I-I'm back in command? Well now will be a good time to ask how she knew...that... When I gained full control of my body, I felt something moist on my lips, something wrapped around my neck, and my arms around something... curvy? Aw no please... This is not good... I hope Zoey hadn't seen this... I pushed the obvious person away from me. "Ann, why did you take my shirt off?"
"Wah.. Vito ba- What are ya doin' here? I want ma Vito!" Her confusion faded to anger, "Give 'em back now!"
I breathed deeply, trying to control my anger before answering, "No. Now answer my question."
She glared, "Fine. I ova'heard ya and dat scrawny kid talkin' 'bout some MBP or somethin like dat. So I knew I had a chance for me to have ma Vito."
"Ann, It's not nice to take advantage of something like that." I sighed, running my fingers through my hair, "And it's called MPD, not MBP. It stands for Multiple Personality Disorder."
"Whateva's." Suddenly, a smirk crossed her lips, "Though I know dis is a secret thing ya have, so how about a deal."
I gasped silently, What is she getting at? "What kind of deal and what are the stakes?" I asked cautiously.
"I won't tell anybody about dis thing ya have if I can have ma Vito everyday."
My eyes widened, "Uh... and if I don't take it?"
"Then I'll tell everyone, especially dat annoyin' red head."
I clenched my fist and teeth, "Fine, but only past midnight on Mondays to Thursdays."
"Good doin' this with ya baby," She grinned happily and kissed my cheek, then walked off, humming happily to herself. What have I gotten myself into now?
(Brick's POV)
"But Brick I-" Zoey tried reasoning, but I cut her off, "Zoey, as long as you're happy, that's all I need as a thank you. I told you, you don't owe me anything. I'm not spending time with you, just to have something in return, but to spend time with a girl I love like a sister."
Zoey's eyes welled in tears as a smile crossed her lips, "Thanks Brick, you're the best brother I could ever have had wish for. "
We smiled softly at each other for a while before a thought hit me, "Hey Zo?"
"Yeah Brick?"
"Wanna start those cranes?" I grinned at her lit up expression before continuing, "I think I remember how to make them."
She sat on the floor already holding a sheet of colored papers and scissors in her hand before I could blink, "Yeah!" She giggled, "I sound like a kid who's getting alot of candy!"
"Yeah," I sat down next to her, "But that just makes you ten times more adorable, than I thought you could get!"
Her cheeks turned a rosy color, "Brick!" She called out in embarrassment. I chuckled as I ruffled her red hair in endearment. "Brick!" she called out again, but this time with a small giggle, "Quit it! You're messing up my hair!"
"Good," I said in a teasing manner. Zoey pouted childishly as I grinned, "Now lets make those cranes for real!"
She dropped the pout quick after that and soon both of us were folding cranes perfectly. Okay Zoey was folding perfect cranes, I on the other hand, was having a little bit of trouble... She's already gotten about twenty done and I don't even have one. I smile lightly watching Zoey carefully fold each sheet of paper, I'm so glad she's smiling again. Even if I can't figure this origami thing out...
"Need a little help there Brick?" I jumped as I heard Zoey's voice suddenly, "Oh sorry," she giggled. "But seriously, that looks more like a duck than a crane." I look down at the paper in my hands, wow... it does look like a duck... "Okay, you fold it like this," I watched closely as she gently folded the crane, telling me step by step how it's done. Soon, we had a few hundred paper cranes scattered all over the room.
I yawned, "Wow... who knew folding paper would make someone so tired?"
Zoey smiled lightly, "You can take a nap if you want. I can finish up from here."
"You sure?"
She nodded with a soft smile, "Yeah. Don't worry, I'll wake up when I have just a few more left to do, so we can make that wish together."
I smiled as I nodded, "Alright. Thanks"
"No problem Brick. You can sleep on my bed if you want. I don't ." I nodded tiredly, "It's that one." I looked to where she pointed and walked over there.
I never felt so comfortable in a cabin bunk bed before... I fell right onto the bed. "Night." I said with a halfhearted smile.
"Night Brick. Sweet dreams." I heard her say before my eyes closed and I fell into a deep sleep.
A/N: Wow... I love Broey! HAHA as my Brotp! Wow... so much is going on now.
Will Cameron really learn everything about girls from a book? How will Mike and Ann Maria pull off this deal? Did Cameron over hear their deal and if so, how will he deal with it? What kind of deal is Seamus trying to get Vito to agree to?
Just to say, writing Cameron's book was awkward and funny at the same time. Awkward because, I myself am a girl and funny because well leave it to Cameron to have to read a book to even know that.
