Lauren didn't know what to do. Now that her secret was out, to the one person that meant the most to Camila. What was she even doing here? Why right here? Right now?
Lauren knew that life as she knew it was about to change.
"Hey Mrs. Cabello." Lauren said looking to the ground and trying hard not to let the tears fall.
Sinu took a second to one register what she had just heard, and two to take in that her daughter was in love with said hurting girl and would wait forever. Sinu was conflicted between smiling for the happiness of her daughter and the pain of her daughters girlfriend. Sinu wasn't sure if Lauren was a hugger or not so she just walked to the girl and embraced her. Sinu felt Lauren tense but then she started to relax and again Lauren broke down. For some reason, she just couldn't hold herself back when it came to the Cabello's.
As Lauren continued to hug and cry into Sinu's shoulder Camila walked over and started to rub Lauren's back. Sinu pulled Camila into the hug too. When Lauren stopped crying Sinu let both of the girls go. Sinu watched as Camila grabbed Lauren's face and made the taller girl look at her as Camila wiped the leftover tears away.
Lauren stared back into Camila's eyes and lost herself for a moment in the love that she found. Lauren never wanted to look away but Sinu clearing her throat broke both girls out of their trance. Camila wiped that last of the tears away and pecked Lauren on the lips before she turned with Lauren to face her mother. Camila never once thought of letting Lauren's hand go.
"Lauren, I'm sorry that this is how I am hearing about your problem. I can tell that you are someone that likes their personal life to stay private. So even though you probably aren't ready to talk about this. I think that we do need to talk." Sinu said with sincerity.
Lauren studying Sinu for a minute, but in all reality she knew that she was going to talk to her. "Yeah...okay. Can we go to your house? I don't need any more surprises." Lauren said with a small smile.
Sinu was glad Lauren still had her sense of humor about her. "Yeah I will meet you, girls, there. See you in a few." Sinu said as she turned to walk back to her car leaving the two girls deciding on what to do.
Camila squeezed Lauren's hand as her mom walked away from them. Then Camila broke.
"I'm so...sorry...Lo. I didn't see her until it was too late." Camila said while crying.
"Please don't hate me."
It was Lauren's turn to console Camila. Lauren automatically wrapped Camila up in her arms. "I don't think I could ever hate you." Lauren said with as much compassion as she could at the moment.
"Don't worry about your mom overhearing." Lauren said and Camila looked up stunned at what Lauren said. "Maybe it is about time that I got this all figured out. Maybe this is for the best."
Lauren stared off into the distance as Camila comprehended what Lauren had just said.
"Do you really mean that Lo? You are ready for your whole world to be turned upside down. I mean a lot of things could go wrong right now." Camila asked.
"I think that I do. I can't keep going on like this Camila. It's breaking me." Lauren said still not looking at Camila.
Camila leaned back further from Lauren and held Lauren's chin in her hand turning Lauren toward herself. "I understand. I'm here for you no matter what. Just do what you think is best. I am in your corner babe."
Lauren relaxed a bit at the words Camila said. "Thank you. That means a lot." To Lauren it really did. Maybe she could get used to someone being there for her. "Now let's go before your mom thinks we ran away."
