Bittersweet Revenge

[PrincessKaty]

Cambree looked in Slader's direction when Dean walked away. She frowned, listening to him. "I fucking tried," She said, putting her arms out to gesture to her outfit and makeup and everything.


She sighed, listening to him suggest to go flirt with someone. She looked around but didn't really find anyone appealing enough to go put her time into. She smirked, turning back to Slader. "Why should I go looking for a guy when there's one standing right in front of me?" She asked him flirtatiously, taking a step closing in his direction with a little glimmer in her hazel eyes.


"Is this new?" She asked him curiously, her eyes moving down to his shirt and moving her hand to his muscular chest. Yep, still hot.

 

[kailey]

Slader stood, a bit surprised that she had chosen him considering what had happened and that he was Dean's friend. "Look, Cam, I..." But he was cut short as her hand moved over his chest. He had to admit, he missed her touch.


"Uh, yeah, yeah it is." He stammered as he peered down into her eyes, his blue ones shimmering.


"What... What're you doing Cambree?" He whispered as his hand involuntarily moved around to the small of her back. It was if he had no self control around her.

 

[PrincessKaty]

Cambree grinned. "I like it," She told him softly, referring to his shirt when she was now running her hand over.


She shrugged a little bit, feeling his hand move onto her back. "Doing what you said to do," She responded quietly.


Damn, she realized why Slader pulled so much. He was just looking at her wanted to drag him to a bedroom. It was wrong. So wrong... Both of her hands moved to his chest and slid down to his abs before moving all the way up and to the back of his neck. Dean flirted, so why couldn't she? Right? That's all this was... Pay back.


"Your abs feel even better sober," She remarked in a whisper with a playful smile on her lips.

 

[kailey]

Slader laughed nervously, his other hand smoothing back her hair. "I'm glad. You'd be surprised how many people tell me that," he replied, shrugging.


Stop, Slader. Wait... No don't stop... God this is wrong. Fuck it. His mind raced as he peered into her hazel eyes. Why did he want to kiss her so badly?


"Well I suppose since you're just getting back at Dean... Go for it" he replied with a wink as the hand that was currently tangled in her hair moved down to the curve of her neck.

 

[PrincessKaty]

Damn, hes good.. Why did she feel so compelled to kiss him? She didn't even think anymore after he said to go for it and winked. She just smiled and moved closer to him, pulling him down a little bit to her level, before pressing her lips to his.


She was actually doing this. Why was she doing this? It was bad. So wrong. Her boyfriend was like, fifty feet away! But his lips were so nice... Dean was being an asshole anyways.. He'd understand, right? This is so much better than when I was drunk..

 

[kailey]

In all honesty, Slader was a bit surprised as Cambree pulled him into a kiss. But it was a pleasant surprise.


She tasted so sweet and so good, and that's all he focused on for a few minutes before realizing he was kissing Dean'a girlfriend... Dean. Who was at the exact same party. And he wasn't even intoxicated.


Slader pulled away, eyes wide. Sure, they slept together but it wasn't like... Screw it. Without thinking, he grabbed her and pulled her closer, tilting her chin up so he could kiss her more deeply.

 

[PrincessKaty]

Cambree looked up at Slader when he pulled away and bit her lip, watching Slader look at her like she'd lost her damn mind. Please don't yell, please don't yell... She didn't know what she was doing either but she was pretty sure that she liked it but judging by the look on his face, maybe he didn't.


Or so she thought until he pulled her close to him again and they started to really kiss this time. One of her hands tangled in his hair while the other stayed on his neck. Damn he was a good kisser..


Dean smiled at one of the girls who leaned into him, making a comment about how great he looked tonight. "And you look absolutely stunning, babe," He responded to the blonde with a wink.


"Oh shit, look at Slader gettin' it! How does that guy do it?.." His friend Craig remarked, shaking his head and then taking another drink of his beer.


Dean turned around and looked over in the direction of Slader and laughed a little bit as he watched him mack on some girl... Some girl dressed... In the same thing as Cambree? There was no way. He exchanged glances with his friend before abruptly leaving the blonde chick and walked over to the other side of the bonfire to get a better look. You've got to be fucking kidding me...





"Cambree, are you fucking serious right now?!" He basically yelled.

 

[kailey]

Slader jumped back when he heard Dean yell. Shit... He was in for it. Big time. Luckily, he was a bit taller and more muscular than his friend, if it came to that.


He turned to face Dean, his face expressionless. He deserved whatever came next, but maybe if Dean stopped being such a douche to his girlfriend, they wouldn't be in this situation.

 

[PrincessKaty]

Cambree's eyes grew wide and her hand covered her mouth, hearing Dean yell her name. Fuckfuckfuckfuck.





"Dean, it's not-" She began to say but Dean cut off her.


"It's not what it looks like? Is that what you're about to say, Cambree? That I'm just going crazy and I didn't see my best friend shoving his tongue down your throat?" Dean retaliated angrily then turned to Slader with a glare,"Seriously, man? What the fuck?! I thought we were friends and last time I check, best friends don't go making out with their friends' girl! You literally get in every other single girl's pants. So what the fuuuck?"

 

[kailey]

Slader put his hands up, taking a step back. He had a point, he typically got whichever girl he wanted, but.. It was Cambree. He couldn't resist.


"Dean, calm down man. She's right, it's not what it looks like." He began to explain. "She's upset that you were over there flirting it up with some girls, so I came up with the idea to get your attention back on your own girlfriend. It didn't mean anything, Dean. And look, it worked didn't it?"


Well, it wasn't a complete lie, but it was pretty much bullshit. He kissed Cam because he wanting to kiss her. Not because he wanted to make Dean realize how important she was

 

[PrincessKaty]

Cambree bit down on her lip, listening to Dean rant and rave about what they'd done and how Slader was at fault. She opened her mouth to defend him but he beat her to it.


Dean's eyes shifted between Slader and his girlfriend, as if he was trying to decide if they were being truthful or not. Cambree looked honestly scared and regretful while Slader had his usual couldn't-give-a-fuck look which was especially annoying in the moment.


"So instead of coming to me and talking to me about it, you decide to kiss my best friend?" He asked annoyed, looking Cambree dead in the eyes.


Cambree didn't even know what to say. "I.. just... You haven't been paying attention to me, Dean. We've been together for four years and it's like you're just bored with me! If you can go off and flirt, why can't I? See how much it sucks? I don't know what the hell you do when I'm not around. If you have the balls to flirt with bimbos when I'm around, I can only assume you do even worse when I'm not here and you're drunk," She basically called him out, now more angry than regretful about it all.

 

[kailey]

As Cambree began telling Dean off, Slader decided it was about time he removed himself from the situation. They could figure it out, he had done his part.


Quietly but quickly, he moved back away from them and toward his friends.


"What was that?!" Derek asked incredulously as Slader approached him. With a shrug, he replied, "Teaching Dean a lesson is all."


Craig laughed and patted Slader's back. "She looked like she was into too, Man. Teach me your skills?"

 

[PrincessKaty]

"I've never kissed another girl, Cambree. Sure, I flirt. They come onto me and I play along, but that's it! I don't play tonsil hockey with them!" Dean told Cambree, not able to believe that she'd just gone off and done that. And that Slader encouraged it all.


Cambree laughed bitterly,"I sooo doubt that, Dean. Whatever. Sorry, okay? Won't happen again," She apologized briefly. In the back of mind though, she really hoped that it did happen again. Maybe just not in front Dean. But why? Was he really that intoxicating?.. "Just pay attention to me. That's all I'm asking. I hate you blowing me off. If we have plans then fucking stick to them! I'm not asking for that much, Dean. Not even asking you to flirting.."

 

[kailey]

Slader just laughed off Craig's comment and watched Dean and Cambree talking. Half of him hoped they worked it out while the other half of him secretly wished they would break up. Then him and Cam could have plenty more hook ups.


Come to think of it, he had never been in an actual relationship. It wasn't that he was afraid of commitment, he just assumed that any girl who would stick around after him sleeping with them, typically drunk, would have issues. But maybe Cambree was different.


The black haired girl from earlier waltzed up and took his hand. "Come on, cutie, let's to upstairs," she said as she tugged on his hand. She was intoxicated, he could smell it on her breath.


Being him, he wasn't about to deny. With a smirk, he followed the girl toward Britanny's house. What was her name, Matison or something?

 

[PrincessKaty]

Dean groaned, listening to her go on and on. "Why is it always my fault? This is exactly why I didn't want to bring you. You're making a big deal out of this whole thing. Everyone is looking," He said lowly to Cambree who just laughed bitterly.


"Fine, whatever, Dean. Just go screw some girl to get it out of your system and text me in the morning," Cambree growled at him before turning and walking away. She wasn't ready to leave yet though. She didn't really feel like going home. So, instead, she walked over to the cooler, grabbed another beer, then headed over towards the glasstop table and took a seat in one of the chairs, on the opposite side of a couple basically going at it and two friends talking loudly about some drama at school.


She opened up her beer and took a drink, then tilted her head back and looked up at the stars. Well this was just shitty, wasn't it?

 

[kailey]

Fifteen minutes later, Slader was walking down the back staircase from Britanny's balcony, a triumphant smirk on his face. He'd left poor Matison breathing heavily and trying to regain her composure upstairs in the bedroom.


Cambree sat alone at a table, sipping a beer. Well, not entirely alone, but none of the people around her were exactly engaging her in conversation.


Not sure if it was the best choice or not, Slader took a seat beside her, water bottle in hand.


"Cheer up buttercup. It only goes up from here." He stated, a smile spreading across his lips.

 

[PrincessKaty]

Cambree looked over at Slader when he came strolling up and pouted before taking another drink.


"Maybe. He's just all pissed at me now. Maybe he'll be okay tomorrow," She told him with a little shrug.


"I saw you go inside with someone," She called him out with a little smirk,"You're quite the charmer. Hell, do you even open your mouth? They just see your smile and take off their tops."

 

[kailey]

Slader laughed and leaned back in his chair, hands behind his head. He wasn't narcissistic or anything, but he knew the effect he had on girls.


"With this one, I literally asked if she went to WestRidge, then asked what her name was, and after you and I made out she invited me to the bedroom. Where, might I add, I didn't say a word and her top did just come off."


He smiled at her and chugged the rest of his water. He wasn't even tired. If another girl invited him upstairs, he'd be down.

 

[PrincessKaty]

~~~


Cambree felt her breathing begin to pick up and tears began forming in her eyes. No. No there's no way. This isn't happening...





It was happening. The pregnancy test laying on the white bathroom countertop had an obvious two lines on it, indicating that she was indeed pregnant. That was impossible though. LIke sure, she missed a period but she just thought that was what happened when you were a teenager. You were irregular.


She sunk down to the floor and just began sobbing. What was she suppose to do? Not only was she pregnant, oh no, she was also screwing two guys. Why had she been so stupid? This was her last year of high school and pregnant wasn't how she wanted to end it all, that was for sure.

 

[kailey]

Slader leaned against the back wall of his house, a cigarette between his lips. He inhaled and closed his eyes, slowly letting the smoke exit his lungs. He felt his nerves begin to calm tremendously and all was right with the world.


The last time he actually saw Cambree, besides school, was a week ago when they had hooked up again. He had been sex deprived and she was lonely yet again. It was beginning to be a routine of sorts.


His phone buzzed. It was that girl Matison. She kept contacting him asking for them to get together again. She thought he was boyfriend material. Hah. He pocketed the phone and continued on smoking.

 

[PrincessKaty]

Cambree knew deep down that hooking up with Slader had been a terrible, terrible idea.. And the fact that she did it again and again after that was even worse. Even after the bonfire at Brittney's, Dean still was an ass and she found herself at Slader's doorstep. Even if it wasn't for sex at first, it always turned out to be later. She knew that he hooked up with girls all the time and she was just another one of "them" but she at least kind of felt wanted around him. She pushed herself up from the floor and sniffled, then headed towards her bedroom that connected to the bathroom.


She grabbed her phone off of her desk then sat down on her bed. She had to tell someone. She had to do something. A shaky hand went to her most recent contacts which consisted of her mom, Dean, Slader, or Carly. Carly was gone for the weekend at some church thing and her mom would murder her... So she pressed Slader's contact. Why? What's he going to do?... She supposed that he was closest thing to a friend that she had right now and even though it could've been his, he could just peace out and not have it mean anything other than he was an ass. Hell, she'd probably leave too.


She raised the phone to her ear and tried to calm herself down but she felt as though it was pointless.

 

[kailey]

Slader frowned as his phone buzzed yet again. Thinking it was Matison, he reached into his pocket, preparing to ignore yet another annoying message. But it wasn't. It was Cambree. Maybe she was lonely again.


He pressed the answer button and held the phone to his ear loosely with one hand and the cigarette hung from the other.


"This is Slader speaking, press one for sex, two for booze." He joked.

 

[PrincessKaty]

Cambree couldn't help but smile a little bit when she heard his voice. "Three?" She answered with a little bit of a laugh before sniffling. She didn't even know what to say to him. Maybe she just shouldn't tell anyone until she knew for sure.. But that meant having to go to the doctor and she wasn't 18 yet. Ugh.


She wiped a tear from her cheek and sniffled again. "Could you come over?" She asked him quietly,"If you're not busy, I mean.. I just.." She wasn't sure where she was going with that. She guess she just didn't want to be a pain. Maybe he really just wanted hookups.

 

[kailey]

Slader could immediately tell something was wrong. Had she broken up with Dean? Was she hurt?


"Yeah, I'll be over in ten." He replied before promptly hanging up. He threw out the cigarette and hurried to his truck.


It only took about ten minutes to get to her house if you sped; which he did. Once he arrived, he hurried around to where her bedroom window was and knocked.

 

[PrincessKaty]

Cambree let out a sigh of relief as she heard Slader. She put down the phone and laid back on the bed, staring up at the ceiling. This was absolutely insane. She couldn't be pregnant. She was way too young. She had so much to do before she wanted to be a mom.. She at least wanted to have gotten through college first. She guessed that it was no one's fault but her own though.


She just stared at the ceiling, lost in her own thoughts until drawn out of them by a knock at the window. She sat up and got off her bed, then quickly stopped at a mirror on her wall and wiped her cheeks and ran a hand through her hair. Pointless. She looked like a wreck. Even so, she walked over to her window and pushed the curtains away, then unlocked it and pushed it up. She grinned a little bit at Slader and stepped out of his way.
