Trust Me (You/Fifth Harmony)

6

The girls got me settled into a room which wasn't far from theirs. I couldn't sleep, especially in a strange place. It was a little after one when I was roaming the halls. The front door opened and Camila came stumbling in, Lauren followed behind her trying to help her get back on her feet only to have Camila jerk away from her.

"Camz, I'm sorry." Lauren said, grabbing on to Camila. "It had to be done. You know I would never intentionally-"

Camila began crying, "Why me huh? Why is it always me Lauren? I don't deserve this. I can't keep living like this Lauren. I want to be happy."

Lauren sat with Camila on the floor, "You're not happy with me?" Her facial expression softened. "I did this for you, for all of you and Y/N."

"People don't deserve to be hurt in the way you hurt people." Camila struggle to get off the floor, but did.

"I'm not perfect Camz, you knew that. Way before you even married me, before we lost-"

Camila cut Lauren off, "I'm going to go take a shower, I'll sleep in Dinah's room. I don't want to be anywhere near you. You need help Lo," She sighed. "I hope she can fix you."

When I saw Camila coming my way, I quickly headed to my room and got in the bed and pretended I was here the whole time.

Camila lightly tapped on my door. "Hey."

I yawned, "Hey, what's up?" I said rolling around in the bed a bit, trying to make myself seem more believable. From the looks of it, she's terrible at telling the difference.

"You're terrible faker."

"I wasn't faking." I lied.

"And you're a horrible liar." She giggled. "I saw you scurrying down the hall."

I laughed a bit, I've never been a good liar. "You caught me."

She smiled, "Caught you bed handed," I watched how that easily amused her, watching her laugh at her own joke was like watching a kid who laughs after every silly punch line joke.

It interested me.

Her laughter was short lived, "That wasn't funny to you?"

I shrugged, I don't laugh much. I'm not easily amused by minor things. "I'm sorry."

She smiled again, her smile was beautiful. I don't even think she actually notices. "It's okay," Is it really? "Do you mind if I sleep in here tonight?"

"I thought you were sleeping in Dinah's room."

"I'd rather sleep here." She said.

I didn't protest against it.

Lauren's POV

I will never understand what is wrong with me. I'm honestly afraid to even find out. I can't stop myself from hurting the people I love, especially Camila. I don't deserve her. Maybe once upon a time I did. I don't know.

My thoughts were cloudy maybe because of the cigarette smoke surrounding me.

The girls managed to let me have my own space in the house although they take up most of the house with shoes, clothes, accessories and Dinah's vast collection of hats and Camila's bow collection. I have one room to myself, in the west wing of the house. Not to big, not to small.

Nights like this, I isolate myself from the girls. I can't be near them and I'm sure they don't want to be with me. The other girls knew what I did, I just never did it to them. Only Camila.

I'm one sick fuck if you ask me.

I started roaming around the house, it must have been six in the morning. The sun was slowly starting to rise. I went passed each of the girls rooms. First Ally's, then, Normani's. They were both sleeping peacefully. Dinah's room was across the hall from Camila's, which was down the hall from Ally and Normani's.

Reaching Dinah's room, I felt uneasy. Slowly passing the room. No one was there. The bed had been made and the curtains were drawback.

I just kept walking.

Y/'s room was closer to the front of the house. In all actuality I was expecting her to be gone but, there she was. Her arms effortlessly holding onto Camila's body. That was the first time I've seen Camila sleep peacefully since..since before she met me.

I quietly shut the door leaving them.

I kept walking down the empty halls of the house alone, something felt wrong. I could hear things. Subtle whispers, getting closer and closer.

I turned around and nothing was there. I sighed and continued walking.

The whispers continued, they grew louder and louder.. I couldn't take it anymore, I turned  back once more.

"Lauren?" Right in front of me stood Camila, Y/N, Ally, Dinah and Normani.

"Are you okay?" Ally asked.

I looked at them, they were just sleeping. Where did they come from?

"What are you doing awake?"

"Do you trust us?" Camila asked.
