Chapter 12

Laurens POV:

We got to Ms. Smith’s room and I couldn’t help to be a little nervous. Camila and I walked there hand and hand, which made me a little less tense.

“Hi ladies! I’m so glad you are here I have got some great news for you!” She cheered ecstatically.

“What’s is it?” Dinah asked.

“Okay, so all of down here in the vocal section of campus have seen your cover of “Lego House” and we all loved it! And apparently so did many others! So that being said, we always like to see our students succeed. We are asking you if you want private training sessions with me and we can have recording sessions so you can all continue to upload YouTube videos. And, best of all, you’ll all receive credit for this and won’t have to attend your normal vocal training classes anymore. How does that sound girls?”

I don’t think any of us breathed for a minute, we were all so happy. I think I saw tears in Ally’s eyes.

“Wow” I said, “that’s amazing.”

“Damn right,” Dinah said and looked at all of us briefly with a huge smile on her face.

“That is so generous of all of you. Thank you so much Ms. Smith” Ally said. The rest of us thanked her as well.

“No problem girls! We choose a band or an artist or group every year to work with and you all went ahead and started out yourselves so that’s fantastic. I’ll take it that you all want to do this?”

“Yes!” Normani and Camila cheered while the rest of us agreed.

“Okay that’s great!” Ms. Smith cheered. We figure out a time that was good for all of us. We are to meet her back in the same place on Thursday and 11:30am.

Dinah, Ally, Normani, Camz and I all went to get a late lunch after that. We went off campus and got Panera Bread and took a seat in a booth. Camila and I were acting like a couple in public for the first time and it made me extremely happy. Then Dinah of course kept talking about Camren and how she barged in on it earlier! She also said she can die happy now that’s she’s seen it. It was funny but weird. But she’s still awesome. Camz and I kissed in front of them and Ally and Dinah awed while Normani said eww, but jokingly of course.

“Hey guys, I just want to say something.” I said, and they went silent and put their attention on me. “I just want to say thank you. For accepting me into your little group and of course for accepting Camila and I. My old friends wouldn’t have, and I needed some good friends, and now I’ve got them.” Camila smiled at me and squeezed my hand a bit.

“Aww Lauren you don’t need to thank us. We love you!” Ally cheered.

“I love you guys too,” I said. “But, there’s someone here that I know I’ll  love more than anyone else someday.” I said and turned to face Camila and grabbed both her hands as her face blushed a bit. “Camila, will you be my girlfriend?” They all awed again as Camila smiled broadly, looked down and giggled. She looked back into my eyes.

“Yes, of course!” She cheered and kissed me passionately for a moment before we had to pull away because we were both smiling too much.

“You guys are precious,” Normani said, and we both just smiled and blushed in response. Soon after we left and went back to our dorms.

Camila’s POV:

When lauren and I got back to our dorm I pushed her up against the door and kissed her. I was so happy I couldn’t contain myself.

“You’re so beautiful,” I whispered in between kisses.

“No you are,” she whispered back and pulled us over to my bed because it was the closest. She sat first and I sat on her lap and wrapped my legs around her as she held me up with her arms. We looked into each other’s eyes  while smiling and I think that was one of my favorite moments with her so far.

“I’m so glad you’re mine,” Lauren said.

“I’m so glad we’re each other’s” I said, and kissed her again. That’s all we did for a long time, it could have been an hour. It was long enough that our lips were chapped and swollen afterwards. We laid down and in my favorite place in the world, her arms. We sat like that for a few minutes in a comfortable silence.

“Remember what you said earlier? On the way to Ms. Smith’s room?” Lauren asked. My stomach dropped, I was hoping she’d forget about it.

“Um.. yeah”

“What did you mean by that?” She looked into my eyes with much concern and started playing with my hair. “It’s okay Camila, you can tell me anything.”

“I know I can,” I said and looked down, but she put her thumb under my chin and gently pulled my head up to look at her again.

“Then what is it baby?”

 

“I’m just really insecure… I… I used to get bullied in middle and high school. The things they said to me I will never forget.” She looked really sad all of a sudden, like someone just broke her heart.

“I’m so sorry Camila. I wish I could have done something.”

“It’s okay, Dinah did. She um.. she punched the main girl in the face senior year and no one messed with me again..” She laughed a little, and I did too.

“Go Dinah! I’ll have to thank her for that one,” she said.

“It’s okay I did about a million times.”

“Good,” She said. “Can I tell you a secret?”

“Of course.”

“I was bullied too.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. It was pretty bad.” I saw tears forming in her eyes. What’s she holding back?

“I’m so sorry. But hey don’t cry okay? It’ll be okay.” I stroked her arm lightly to comfort her.

“Can I show you something?”

“Yeah,” I said, and she stood up.

“Don’t freak out it involves me taking my pants off,” she said.

“Okay..” I said a bit nervously. She pulled off her jeans and at first all I could focus on was her underwear. They were blue and said PINK because they were from Victoria’s Secret. But then she opened her legs a bit and I saw hundreds of horizontal lines and some newer one on both of her inner thighs. I moved closer to her to get a better look.

“Oh my god Lauren! Why?” I started crying at the sight and I noticed she was crying too. I saw a more recent one that pretty bad. “Baby..” She put her pants back on and I stood up and hugged her tight. “Lauren it’s okay. I don’t want you to do that ever again okay?” She nodded and sobbed into the crook of my neck as I rubbed her back. I helped her sit and I laid us down and held her in my arms and whispering shh while rubbing her back and playing with her hair. I never realized how broken she was, but I promised myself right then, with my girlfriend crying in my arms, that I’d be the one to put her pieces back together.
