Anything But Love {Camren} [ON HOLD]

ten

Ever thought of calling when you've had a few?
Cause I always do.

Lauren had been laying in her bunk all day listening to the same song over and over.

Her feelings towards Camila have grown stronger, and that frustrated Lauren, not knowing that Camila felt the same way. Lauren continues to talk to Ally about these growing feelings, but always get the same reply, 'Lauren, you just need to talk to Camila' but she could never bring herself to do such a thing. Why? Lauren has a irrational fear of being rejected. Much like her fear of heights, she's scared of what might happen.

'What if Camila never wants to talk to me again?' Lauren would think to herself. But then one of the many voices in her head would say, 'But what if she feels the same way?'

"Camila, c-can I talk to you?" Lauren asked shyly. Camila smiled and nodded, standing up and following Lauren to the back room. Camila sat down on the couch waiting for Lauren to speak. When she didn't, Camila spoke up. "What's up Lauren?"

"I have something to tell you, and I don't know how you'll react, but I need you to know. A-and I hope that after I tell you, that you won't think of me any differently." Camila nodded, "Just say it."

"I- that night, that I kissed you, I meant to do that. I m crazy for you Camila, and have been for quite some time now. It wasn't until you got together with Austin that I realized I had feelings for you. I was frustrated that this guy got to kiss you and hold you and tell you how much he loves you," Lauren sat down next to Camila, grabbing her hands and locking eyes with her.

"I can give you so much more than him, I can show you what true love is, Camila. I wanna be yours, and I want you all to myself, as selfish as that may sound. I love you, and all I want- all I need, is to know that you feel the same way. And if you don't, I'll wait for you. As long as it may take, because you're the only one I've ever had such strong feelings for. Not Luis, not Brad, you."

A single tear fell from Camila's eye.

"Camz? No no, don't cry. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said anything." Lauren stood up, about to walk away when she felt Camila grab her wrist. Lauren turned around, looking down at Camila before Camila stood up, crashing their lips together causing butterflies to erupt in both of their stomachs.
