More Than One Way To Die

Chapter 2 Should Have Known

Violet's POV

I start the shower as I strip each of my layers off of my body and throwing them into the dirty laundry basket that's in the bathroom with me. Turning on the shower as I let it heat up looking at myself in the mirror.

I play around with my hair trying to figure out how I would do my hair to try to look nice for tonight. I look all over my naked body criticizing every last little flaw like any other woman.. hating the skin I'm in and trying to love myself slowly but surely.. it's just hard to do so.

My heart does back flips at the idea that Kameron wants me here at this party and says he would notice if I wasn't there.. I don't want to get my hopes up, but just that thought alone gets my heart racing in excitement.

He made it sound as if he wanted me there with him and I love that idea to say the least.. So I have to make sure I look presentable to him, because I want to make a good impression since this is one of the first times they have wanted me to come with them.. and one of the first times I've accepted.. or I guess been allowed to accept the invitation.

I climb into the shower as I let the water cascade down every curve of my naked body, trying to use the heat to calm my rapidly beating heart.. but nothing can calm it at the thought of being seen with Kameron. I wonder if he really meant it when he said he wanted to be seen with me? And really wants me there with him and that's why he invited me.. Who knows, but only one way to find out by going with him.

I suds myself up from head to toe, making sure I look and smell fabulous just in case. After rinsing myself off, I turn off the shower, grabbing my towel and drying off. I slowly open the door making sure my towel is securely wrapped around my body as I step out of the bathroom and confirming the guys aren't still in my room before I come prancing out naked. No one is in here and the door is shut, so I walk straight to my closet to try to get the outfit picked out for tonight.

I anxiously look through my closet and everything seems like not enough or just too much for the party occasion.. so I don't know what to wear to make any type of impression. It's autumn which means it is already colder outside with the sun going down.

So I finally decide to grab my forest green long sleeve tight fitting dress. It is off the shoulder but fits tight like a glove all the way down over my curves accenting them perfectly, ending right below my ass not leaving too much to the imagination but I kind of want it that way just for tonight.. getting out of my comfortable shell.

I grab my only pair of heels and they are high heel stilettos.. I never wear heels at all, I'm not that kind of girl, but I found these a couple years ago and just bring them out on special occasions because they are a b***h to walk in but so worth the hassle because they make my legs and butt look so good.

I dry my hair and curl it along with actually putting some make-up on. I normally don't do much at all when it comes to my make-up just highlights here and there with some eye liner and mascara.. but tonight I'm doing the eye shadow, eye liner, blush, mascara, foundation and the whole works. Once I finish I give myself a once over in the mirror and I can honestly say I look good for once.

"God don't you look disgustingly perfect.. at lease we know you can actually look nice if you try.. right Kameron?" Vincent says spitefully gaining my attention as I turn around and see Kameron's mouth open and staring.

"What is wrong with you.. she looks decent right?" Vance says elbowing Kameron in the gut as he clears his throat and says. "Ya you look stunningly beautiful." He says to me as I blush and Vance retorts back pretty quickly, "I didn't say beautiful I said decent.. it's at least way better than the normal look without a doubt."

"I love the normal look." Kameron says still staring at me as I c**k my head slightly. The guys stare back at him as Kameron clears his throat and says, "What? I think she looks beautiful now for sure but I have always liked her normal look." He says fidgeting with his hands and acting nervous. Did I make him nervous? I think that is just unheard of in general when it comes to me.

"Come on guys let's get going before I change my mind." I say with a tinge of confidence that I have from who knows where, as I strut past the boys, squeezing through as I make my way down the stairs and through the house to the front door.

I reach out for the door knob but before I could reach it Kameron is there in no time at all opening up the door for me. Catching me off guard as my brothers glare at him, but he acts like he doesn't care as he glances from them to smiling back at me.

This action makes me smile so big. "Thanks Kam." I say as I pass by but I hear him retort, "Anytime." This makes my heart skip a beat again as I keep my head up high, until I get to the car and once again, before I can even touch the door handle Kameron is there at my side but way closer than he normally gets.. almost hovering over me as he opens the door. I smile up at him as I say again.

"Thanks again Kam." He smiles at me as he says without hesitation. "Thanks for actually coming with us to something I invited you to. I never knew this day would actually come."

I smile retorting, "My brothers invited me and you convinced me." I correct him as he shakes his head, "No inviting you was my idea, then we headed up to your room to ask.. actually." He says to me.That thought is intriguing.. I bite my lip not knowing if that's true or not.. or even what it means.

"God can we get going already." Vance says from inside the car so I jump to attention realizing Kameron and I have been standing really close talking and I'm assuming I got so distracted by his amazing eyes and stunning smile that we got lost in the conversation just talking.. I didn't even notice my brothers getting into the car.

"Sorry." I say softly as I sit down into the back seat but Kameron sneaks in right after me scooting close as he whispers back. "I'm not sorry." I look over at him locking into another mystifying gaze with his. Why am I getting the feeling he is hitting on me.. I know my brothers would throw a fit if we even tried anything, hence why they're glaring back at him right now.. but he looks as if he doesn't care, just ignoring them as he continues to smile at me.

This whole situation is making me nervous. I don't know how to react because this is the kind of attention I have been craving from him for so long.. but it makes me sad that I had to be dressed like this to get it.. Does that mean he just wants a peice of ass from me?

I mean I wouldn't mind getting to have a taste of that delectable meal.. but I want so much more than that with him and always have.. but he did say he liked the way I looked regularly, but maybe he was just saying that. I don't know what to think right now.

"Stop acting like she looks amazing or something Kameron.. You and I both know this is just a mask to the ugly bore within." Vincent says to us in the back earning a glare and clenched jaw from me.

"Why would you think it's acting when I have told you plenty of times that I think she looks beautiful.. I just don't normally tell her.. but doesn't mean I haven't thought it. You're not ugly or a bore Vi." He spats back as it doesn't go unnoticed by me, that he scooted over and put his arm around my shoulder during that retort.

Wait.. did he just say that he says I look beautiful plenty of times to my brothers? Since when has he thought this?

"I am a bore for sure but it's nice to know you think I'm beautiful even if the only reason your telling me is because I'm dressed like this." I say to him softly as he shakes his head.

"You could ask your brothers I have been commenting on your beauty for a very long time.. It's not because you're dressed up and I'm sorry if it came off like that." Kameron says to me so sincerely.

I find myself biting my lip as I continue to keep glancing back and forth from him to the floor. "He has been saying that for years to us.. but I'll repeat myself until the day you die, you're not worth the hassle Violet." Vance spats back into the back seat as I shake my head not knowing how to retort because I don't want to feel the same but I do.

This just embaresses me that they are right. I am a bore and I don't think I'm worth it. I just want a drink and get out of this car, before they can tear down the little bit of confidence that I had left.

We pull up to the place hosting the party as they park and I instantly get out hating how my brothers make me feel. I can hear them laughing so loud in the car, as I also hear Kameron sounding like he is lecturing them. I storm into the party not even wanting to be around them. I just want a drink.

I weave through the waves of dancing people, getting stares here and there as I get across the room in no time at all. I walk up to the main drink area and take a shot glass that's surrounded by plenty of others.. filled for people to take as they go.. then just throwing the shot back.

"Yes that's what I'm talking about... how about another shot beautiful." I hear from in front of me. My gaze locks onto a handsome man with an ear to ear grin on his face and lustful look in his eyes directed at me.

I send him a small smile and a nod, followed by, "I don't want to feel anything right now.. fill it up please." I ask as he nods and grabs a bottle filling it up again but this time one for himself. He holds his shot glass up towards me as I do the same and cheers with him then I throw that shot back as well.

"I thought you were suppose to be our DD sis!" Vance says to me as he stands on one side of me and Vincent shoulder checks me going to the other side.

"Well that's what you get for thinking.. and being assholes to me the whole drive over here.. you can figure out your own way home my lovely brothers." I spitefully state back as I lift the filled up shot glass because of the man in front of me.. He is the one who filled it up as the guys were talking to me. I throw that shot back into my throat and they both groan taking cups from the table as they storm away.

"They are your brothers?" He asks from across the table as I nod and state, "Sadly enough those assholes are my triplet brothers.. fill me up please." I say to him as he nods and responds, "Yes ma'am.. wait triplets? Does that mean you're the third? So how have I not seen a beauty like you running around this campus? I know I would remember if I saw or met you." He asks as he fills the shot glass again.

"Yes she is the third of the them.. but you haven't seen her really because besides school, she works most the time but when she is not she loves to read at home." I hear from Kameron as he smirks down at me as I shyly smile up at him. We smile at each other for a comfortable silence until I nod, shrugging my shoulders agreeing with his statement.

"Is he another one of your brothers?" He asks as Kameron scoffs at that comment. "Farthest thing from, I have never thought of her as my sister, but known her for a very long time." He responds as I smile at that.. I always thought he thought of me as a little sister.. It's nice to know he doesn't.

"Hey handsome nice to see you again.. how about a dance?".... "No he wouldn't want to dance with you when I'm here." We hear from besides Kameron as two girls who look like sisters go on either side of him holding him tight, rubbing their halfway naked perfect looking bodies on his.

He smirks down and just like I thought.. He would forget about me real quick once those way more beautiful than me girls come around. I feel my heart clenching at the sight of him with them because for some dumb reason I did get my hopes up that he might actually want me.. but of course not. Like I said how could he ever want me when there are women around that look like that... and throwing themselves at him.. who could resist that.

I feel my shot glass that's in my hand get heavier, gaining my attention. The guy across from me is filling it up for me. I send him another small smile. He leans in closer to me and says, "I think your way more beautiful than those girls and he is stupid to go for them over you."

"Thanks.. I'm sorry I don't know your name." I say to him as he smiles at me and says, "My name is Blake.. and yours? Unless you don't mind me calling you beautiful all night."

"I shake my head and respond, "I don't mind, but my name is Violet.. it's nice to meet you Blake." I say as he smiles even bigger.

"Would you like to dance? Since you got ditched by that tool?" He says to me as I glance behind me at Kameron who is still smirking at the ladies wrapped around him but shaking his head. He looks up and locks gazes with mine and I think he can see the hurt in mine as I turn back around and reply, "Yes I would love that Blake."

"One for the road?" He asks lifting the bottle of whiskey as I nod and put out the shot glass for him to fill both of ours. I throw the shot back not wasting a second as he comes around the table so quickly taking my hand into his as he pulls me towards the dance floor. We get stopped mid step.. but suprisingly Kameron is the one to stop us.

"I don't know if she wants to dance with you, she has had a lot to drink man and just wants to hang out relaxing for the night." Kameron says as I quickly turn around and retort. "I don't know why you even noticed me being asked to dance or why it matters to you.. when you have a plethora of women over there throwing themselves at you and obviously you like it because you haven't even stopped it.. so enjoy your night with the multiple ladies and let me try to do the same dancing.." I say pulling my arm out of his grip as I add. "I told you, that you wouldn't notice if I left, once the other way more beautiful than me girls came around." I say to him as I turn around leaving with Blake who is still smiling from ear to ear but Kameron looks hurt. I feel bad but at the same time I don't.

I just want to have fun tonight and forget it all. I look back and there are three girls hanging off of Kameron as he just stares at me.. but not telling them no either, which is what I noticed first.

I feel my hand being lifted gaining my attention as I look forward and Blake is spinning me only a little bit until he stops me right in front of him so my back is to his chest. One of my favorite songs comes on as I feel his hips start to move pressing against mine, making them move with his, practically on their own. His hands drift up to my hips and I feel the alcohol hitting me pretty hard along with the heat from our dancing and everyone around us, making me feel looser than ever in my dance moves.

"You're a great dancer Violet." He purrs into my ear from behind as I feel his hands get tighter on my hips. "Thanks." I say back but honestly I don't know if he can even hear me with how loud the music is echoing around us.

I can hear the beat of the music and the vibrations of the base through the floor. All you can see around us are the waves of hands, bodies and faces dancing together in the same rhythm.. All of us just enjoying the same thing at the same time with no judgement which is somehow relaxing.

"Hey how about I go grab us another shot?" He asks in my ear as I nod in response. I feel his grip loosening on my hips as I watch him walk through the crowd and away from me to the table of drinks again.

My gaze locks with Kameron's who is still next to the drinks table and still has girls hanging on him.. So I just look at him, then the girls hanging on and around him.. I instinctively shake my head as I turn around and away, averting my gaze from this heart breaking sight for myself.. Then closing my eyes, before any tears can build in them, just letting the music take over my mind and body.. Just trying to have fun and not get heartbroken over something I knew would never happen in a lifetime for myself.. I knew I shouldn't get my hopes up so I try to forget my hopes.

Dancing used to sooth my soul so let's hope that can happen with the help of the alcohol. It was stupid for me to even remotely think he wanted me.. So now time to have fun with Blake. Because for once someone wants me and will choose me over others, unlike someone I know.
