Whatever It Takes (CamRen)

5 // Flashback

*Flashback* 2 years ago, few days before Lauren leaves...

"Camz," Lauren began. "How are you?"

"Are you seriously going to ask me that question?" Camila chuckled. "We were just together yesterday..."

"Yeah I know, it's better to know how are you doing," the green-eyed shrugged.

"In that case, I am fine and I assure you are as well," the brown-eyed grinned confidently which made the other girl smiled.

Lauren moved closer to Camila and took one of her hand. They were both sitting on a swing which was located behind the brown-eyed's garden. Lauren gazed deeply into Camila's big chocolate brown eyes filled with happiness while Lauren's eyes changed from emerald to ominous gray.

"Camila, I love you so much," the older brunette said, lightly rubbing her girlfriend's back of the palm using her thumb. "And i'm not only saying this because I want to hear it in return. No, i'm saying these because I truly do,-"

The younger brunette interrupted her. "Why, why are you saying all these like you'll be gone forever?" a trace of pain appeared on Camila's face.

"Just listen to me," Lauren ordered. "Whatever, anything happen to us, no matter what, i'll be yours and you'll be mine," the brunette finished as she looked up, preventing herself from tearing.

"Lauren, please be honest to me. Why are telling me these?"

"Bi polar, I guess," the green-eyed joked causing the brown-eyed to hit her on her arm painfully. "Ouch!"

"Tell me the truth or else I'll-

The younger brunette was cut off when the older brunette crashed her lips on her girlfriend's. Lauren slowly sucked on Camila's tongue making her moan softly while the brown-eyed opened her mouth, asking for entrance which the green-eyed allowed. Both could feel lust, love and passion into the intense kiss. Camila bit on Lauren's bottom lips causing the green-eyed to pull away.

"Ow!" Lauren frowned and laughed at the same time, placing a finger on her lower lip where Camila has bitten it. "That was on purpose,"

The brown-eyed giggled. "You'll taste my knuckles if you don't tell me the truth!"

"Fine," the green-eyed sighed. She didn't wanna hurt Camila in any way. She couldn't tell her girlfriend that she was going to leave soon which really sucked because Lauren never once wanted to see the brown-eyed get hurt or cry because of her.

Instead, Lauren just stared into Camila's eyes and was stuck for words.

"Lolo, say something??"

"Camila," Lauren began, she placed a hand on Camila's cheek and looked into an innocent brown eyes. "I love you, that's it."

"That's it?" The younger brunette frowned. "You're not telling me something, are you?"

Before Lauren could speak, Camila spoke again. "Are you leaving me?"

"Of course not," the green-eyed immediately replied. Her heart began racing nervously knowing the brown-eyed had assumed the right reason.

"Do you have someone else?" asked Camila, Lauren could hear the pain in her voice. "Speak!"

"No! I do not have someone else!"

"Then tell me!" Camila grunted.

Lauren breathed deeply, she could not resist not telling her girlfriend the truth. "Promise me you won't walk away?"

"Just say it, please?"

"Camz... I am leaving next Tuesday. I'm going to Australia and I won't be back for two years."

"Is this- is this true?"

Lauren just nodded in response, not being able to look Camila in the eyes. Next thing, the brown-eyed stood up and looked down and stared at her girlfriend, disappointed. Tears started streaming down her cheeks, finding herself about to cry.

"Why did you only tell me now, Lauren?"

The green-eyes looked up to see the brown-eyed already crying. "I don't want to hurt you."

"Either way you'll hurt me. But you know what's worst?" Camila's voice was slightly shaking. "Knowing that you'll leave next week and I couldn't do anything, could I?"

"It's not my choice, Camz-"

"Do not call me Camz!" The younger brunette grunted as she wiped her tears away. "I thought nothing could separate us but you'll be there in the other end of the world."

The older brunette stood up. "Can't we have a long distance relationship, huh?"

"It's not that I don't want," the brown-eyed replied, tears continued streaming down her face. "What is distance? I won't see your face, I won't hear your voice, I won't feel your skin against mine and..."

The words that Camila threw verbally hit Lauren painfully. "Listen to me, two years will be really fast, Camila. Next thing you know, I'm already here tomorrow," a slight smile formed on Lauren's face. "

Camila suddenly wrapped her arms around her girlfriend's neck and buried her head into Lauren's neck, tightening her embrace. "Don't leave, please..."

The green-eyed wrapped her arms around the brown-eyed's waist and closed her eyes. "I'll come back for you, I promise."

----------

The day Lauren was leaving. 1:10 in the afternoon.

"Where's Lauren?" Camila asked almost panicking as Lauren's maid let her entered the house with Dinah.

"Ms Cabello, she just left a while ago..." The maid said.

"WHAT?!" Dinah gasped as she looked at her friend who had watery eyes.

Camila quickly ran outside the house and wandered the road if there was still a car to be seen but she saw an empty narrow road.

"Lauren!" Camila yelled. Dinah briskly walked towards her friend, placing her hands on the shorter brunette's shoulder.

"Camila, let's go. She's gone."

"NO! She is not!" Camila flinched away forcefully and started running. She began sobbing while she repeatedly shouted her girlfriend's name.

"Laur-en!" The brunette squeaked. Dinah ran towards Camila and held her tightly in the arms from behind. The shorter brunette shouted and shouted while sobbing. Her knees dropped onto the ground.

"Mila, don't," Dinah said, her face saddened.

"Let go of me! I'm going to the airport alone!" Camila grumbled, forcefully flinching from her friend's tight grip but the taller brunette did not let her escape.

"Camila, stop it. She's gone far away. You'll see her again!"

Camila eventually became weak from sobbing, she fell to the ground while Dinah gave her an embrace and started comforting her.
