Catching You

Chapter 2

I woke up with Dinah on top of me. I roll her onto her stomach and walk to my bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. When I came out Dinah was sitting on my bed staring at my mom with a nervous look on her face. 

“Camila what happened last night?” she says looking between me and Dinah.

“How did you find out?” I shake my head “I was just trying to help Lauren she,” I pause “Brad,” I pause again.

“I’m not mad, Michael and Clara came over last night after Lauren and her friends came home and told me what you did I just wanted to know if it was true.”

“It is true,” Dinah interrupts “she beat thee crap out if him but then again he beat the crap out of Lauren. She did the right thing.”

“I know she did, I just want you talk to me next time something happens. You know you can talk to me mija?”  I nod as she hugs me “I’m so proud of you, not proud of last night but just in general you know that right?” I nod again “just try not to hospitalize someone the next time you get mad, ok?” I nod one last time and she releases me. She nods at me and Dinah and walks out. I walk over to where Dinah is sitting and fall on the bed “that was close,” I sigh.

“It wasn’t close she hit the nail on the head, but the good part is that she isn’t mad,” Dinah laughs.

“Yeah. It’s so hot,” I say as I take off my shirt.

“Yeah,” Dinah laughs “oh, shoot I have to go my mom wants me to watch my sister.”

“Which one?” I sit up on my bed.

“You think I know,” she laughs “I have so many I can’t count,” she jokes.

“true,” I laugh “ok call me later?”

“Yeah ok,” she stands up and puts on her sweater “don’t beat anyone up while I’m gone.”

I laugh and she walks out. I hear Dinah my mom and someone who’s voice I can’t recognize talking  downstairs. I ignore it and close my eyes. “Hey,” a husky voice says.

I open my eyes and sit up and see Lauren.

“Hey,” I stand up, she walks in and closes the door “How are you feeling?”

“I-i’m feeling better. A little sore but better,” we laugh.

“Ugh, I’m soooo hot,” I open my window a little

“Yeah, you are,” Lauren points at my half naked torso, I smile “I mean yeah today is supposed to get up to 100 degrees today.”

“You think I’m hot?”

“As a friend yeah, any guy would be stupid not to hit that,” I smile “um, anyways I came to say thank you um, you know for like last night. What you did was really brave and courageous.”

“Well he hit you. He is a total dick to think that he could play with your emotions and then hit the hottest girl in the fucking school like what the fuck is wrong with him. I mean he like punched your face in,” I brush her black eye and she winces “sorry, but I hope that you press charges on that di-”

“I didn’t,” she cut me off “I didn’t press charges, be-because you gave him what he deserved. And don’t try to talk me into pressing charges,” she raises her eyebrows. I nod. I hesitate before wrapping my arms around her waist “oh shit sorry I forgot to put my shirt back on,” we both blush.

“It’s ok it’s to hot to wear a shirt today.”

“Hey, do you want to go swimming?”
