Matthew’s eyes softened, and he reached out, his hand gently cupping her face. “I know, but seeing you with them... it drives me crazy. I couldn’t stand the thought of losing you to one of my brothers.”
Before Camille could respond, the door burst open, and Leo stormed in, his face contorted with fury. “What the hell is going on here?”
Noah appeared behind him, equally shocked but more composed. “Camille, are you okay?”
The tension in the room was palpable. Camille stepped away from Matthew, her head spinning anew. “This needs to stop. All of this. It's tearing us apart.”
Leo glared at Matthew, ignoring her plea. “What were you doing with her, Matthew?”
“None of your business, Leo,” Matthew shot back, his eyes narrowing. “You’ve done enough damage already.”
Noah, sensing the imminent clash, stepped between them. “Calm down, both of you. This is not the time or place.”
But Leo’s anger was already at boiling point. “You think you’re better than us because you’re older, don’t you? You think you can control everything.”
Matthew’s jaw tightened. “I’m not trying to control anyone. I’m trying to keep her safe—from reckless idiots like you.”
Camille's frustration reached its peak. “Stop it! All of you!” she screamed, her voice echoing through the corridors. The sheer intensity of her emotion shocked the brothers into silence.
Taking a deep breath, Camille turned to the brothers. “Look at what you’re doing. You’re tearing each other apart, and for what? An endless, pointless competition?”
Her words were not heard, the boys started a fight and Camilles couldn’t stand it anymore, she headed outside all in tears.
When Noah realized she was gone he would head for her while Leo and Matthew were beating forcefully without paying attention to what was happening around them.
Camille was devastated, she didn’t want to tear the brothers apart, she didn’t want to end up like this with a broken heart and a mess in her head.
When Noah caught up with her, she was running out of breath and crying.
“Hey, you shouldn’t run like this” he took her hand and grabbed her into his arms kissing her face. After Matthew’s touches those kisses didn’t help but made it worse, she freed herself from his hands and closed her eyes.
“Noah, what have I done? I didn’t want it to be like this… I’m so sorry, so terribly sorry”
Noah remained silent, he didn’t know if something broken like this could ever be fixed and maybe it would be better if Camille just went back and they all forgot about her as if it was a dream. Still, he wasn’t sure he could ever forget her. If he had a choice he would stay here forever, all alone with her, he didn’t want anything more than this.
