It's been two days since I gave into my lust for Drew. To say what we have is consuming is an understatement. He's invading every thought; my heart skips a beat whenever I think about him. I should be focusing on Rhea, and I do, it’s just that I think about Drew a little too much for my liking.

I'm not sure that anything can come from what happened between us. I'll always have feelings for Drew, he was my first love, my first sexual encounter, and as much as he hurt me, he's been sweet and caring since I came to work for him. Those things alone means that he'll always have a space in my heart. But the pain I felt five years ago hasn't gone away and won't disappear in the space of a few weeks.

Drew shattered me. Since that night, I've only been with one other person and that was because I was lonely and needed some physical and sexual attention. I ended up getting pregnant and Lance wanted nothing to do with me or Rhea. Since then, I've been focusing on my daughter and ensuring that she's safe and cared for.

"You alright, sis?" Cam asks, pulling me from my thoughts. I hadn't heard him come in. Damn. "Hey, what's going on?"

"I'm scared, Cam," I say softly, hating that I don't know what I want. I'm not the type of girl that will mess with someone's head but that's exactly what I'm feeling.

"This about Drew?" I nod at his question and he leans forward and places his elbows on his knees. "Look, Vi, ultimately you're the one that's going to have to decide if you and Drew move on or not. What happened five years ago, happened, and I know if Drew could, he'd do it again differently. "

I sigh, "I know that, I really do, but I can't just get over the pain or the feeling that he disregarded me so quickly."

I think that's the main thing that's holding me back. It was so easy for him to get rid of me the last time and when he did, I was devastated. If he were to do that to me again I'm not sure I'd survive it. The love I feel for him now is stronger than ever before.

"He may be my best friend, but you come first. So trust me when I tell you this, Drew loves you. I'm not excusing what he did but you have to understand how his life was back then. His parents are cunts."

I gasp at his words; I've never heard Cam use such a vulgar term.

"They are," he snarls. "They were the worst parents. Neglectful, evil, and fucking abusive. Drew doesn't talk about it. Ever. But it fucked with his head."

My blood runs cold at Cam's words, Drew alluded to the fact that his parents weren't great, but I never realized just how bad. "That's why he was always at our house."

Cam nods, "Yeah. It doesn't excuse what he did, but it may help you understand a little more as to why he did it.
