Nothing could have prepared Camila with what she saw on Lauren's back, Camila knew it had to be bad but never thought it would be this bad. Camila could almost see what the brand name of what looked like a belt could have been used on Lauren.
"Will they be okay out here?"
"Yeah they'll be asleep for the rest of the night if I don't move them."
"Lauren who did this?" Camila asked taking Lauren's hand as she walked them into the locker room to get the first aid kit.
Lauren said nothing. Pulling her hand out of Camila's and with a few tears leaving her eyes she just sat down on one of the benches straddling it so Camila could do what she needed to do.
"Okay I get it. You don't have to talk about it. But just know that if you ever want to I am more than willing to listen. Oh and this is probably going to hurt."
Camila said as she came over to Lauren. Camila winced at the thought of someone close to Lauren doing this maybe that is why the girl was angry all the time. Just maybe this was why she was a bitch to everyone.
"Hey Lauren lay down because it will be easier."
Camila decided she would start from the top of Lauren's back and make her way down as the ones at the top were not as deep as the ones towards the middle of her back. As Camila was cleaning up the new freshly made scars she could see the raised tissue from the old scars and she herself started to shed a few tears. No one no matter what deserved this kind of torture. Camila took the rubbing alcohol and started to slowly pour it over the mincing-looking bloody welts that covered Lauren. With every new time, she poured Lauren let out a small groan. Camila could tell that Lauren was gritting her teeth trying not to show the pain.
"Lauren you can scream, cry, kick, do whatever you want I cross my heart that I will never tell anyone. This will always be kept just between us." Camila said trying to make the girl relax.
Lauren turned her head from laying on her arms looking at the lockers to facing down into her arms and all she could do was cry nothing else would come to her just the tears she had for Tay and Chris if he would have caught them instead of her. Sobs started racking there way through Lauren's body as she tried to stay still for Camila.
Camila didn't know the girl had so much pain in her. "Lauren if it is too much I can stop." Camila said side hugging Lauren to let her know that she was there for her.
"No that's not it, just finish it up would you please." Lauren said through her tears.
"Okay all done for now but Lauren you really need to get these checked out. My mom would be more than willing to look at them for you." Camila said as she finished putting the last bandage on Lauren's back.
"No it's alright I'll be fine. You can't tell her Camila! You just can't okay?" Lauren looked at Camila with a desperate you need to understand me kind of look.
"Okay I won't tell her, I promise." Camila threw her hands up in defense.
Lauren got up and found a hoodie in her locker and put it on disposing of the jersey in her locker. Camila found herself not being able to tear her eyes away from Lauren's body.
"What? Is it really that bad?" Lauren asked when she turned around and noticed Camila staring at her.
"Umm...we-well. I'm not gonna lie it is pretty bad. You need to put medicine on it every day there are a couple of spots that are really bad." Camila tried to regain herself after being caught.
