The Broken Pieces novel Chapter 20

"You know I'm your boss, right?" I and Camara laughs.

"It's called 'Tough Love', Honey."

I smile at her before sighing, "okay, okay. You've got me."

"Good, now go home!" She claps her hands together, "I'll take care of everything here." She said and I thanked her.

Even though Camara is completely crazy, she comes through in the end. Staying late to help me with the workload, getting me lunch when I'm too busy or forget. She even sometimes drags me out of the house when I'm too stuck to leave.

She's the greatest.

"Okay, I'm getting up," I said I pushed myself out of the chair.

Camara grabbed my arms and helped me as I pushed myself.

"Now go!" She ordered as she plugged her nose.

I rolled my eyes, "it's not that bad." I mutter under my breath as I grabbed my purse.

"Love you!" She yelled out as I walked out of my office.

"Yeah, yeah, love you too."

I couldn't sleep.

I've been up what it seems like forever.

After getting home, I took a well deserved shower and made me a sandwich. I ate the sandwich then I was lost. I didn't know what to do.

It was as if I was stuck, so I decided to watch some t.v and guess what?

Fucking pointless.

My mind kept dragging towards the memories of where Tomas and I sat down on the couch and binged multiple shows until our brains fell out.

So then I decide to do the next best thing; sleep.

How's that working out for me?

Well, it's 6 am and my eyes haven't felt the sweet release of reality so...

I'm living my most unwanted nightmare.

Just when I was about to get out of bed, my doorbell rings.

I mutter a curse under my breath and slip out of bed.

It's 6 am?! Who would be here?

I walk myself all the way towards the front door and open it.

"Parker?" I sat in surprise and Parker smirks.

"Hey, Emmie." Parker smirks.

My eyes study at him. Wearing a white v-neck and grey sweatpants that hang off his hips, he holds a large, blue duffel bag in his hand.

"May I come in?" He asks and being the dumbass that I am, I open the door and let him inside.

"Nice place," he comments and I nod, closing the door behind us.

"Yeah, you weren't really allowed in here last time..." I dragged on and Parker places his duffel bag on the couch before he cracks his neck.

Okay, that's it!

Instead of my fist going right into his face, I kicked my foot up between his legs, right into his dick.

A breathy gasp come from his lips as he doubled over.

"Fuck." He breathe out, before looking up at me with a smirk, "I knew you wouldn't let me get away with that, still icy cold, huh?"

I rolled my eyes, "first of all, go to hell and second, don't call me, Polar Bear, or I swear you will never be able to reproduce, you asshole." I whirl around and began to back away.

"Where are you going?" Parker asked, his voice groaned out.

"To call to your sister and find out what the fuck is actually going on."

A laugh came out of Parker's lips behind me.

"She's going to tell you the same thing I did."

I decided to ignore the man behind me and walk into my room where my phone was.

It's time to call help.

"Are you kidding me?" I groan, "Cameron, you're supposed to help me, not bring me down!"

I hear a pause on the phone before Cameron speaks, "well hon, I'm trying to give you the fucking reality of life okay? Do you want me to bullshit you?" She asks, small noises go off in the background.

"No." I say, hesitantly.

"Exactly!" She shouts.

I began to pace the room, this not how I imagine this conversation going. "Okay, whatever. But that doesn't answer why I HAVE to be watched, I'm not a child!" I complain and a chuckle comes out of Cameron's lips.
