The Secrets We Keep (CAMREN)

Chapter 35: Promises

Lauren's POV

I was walking down the small space to get back to my room, when I heard Camila's mom's voice through one of the doors. It sounded like she was frustrated with Camila about something and when I heard her mother's question I kind of froze. Was Camila's mom seriously asking her about her sex life? I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard Mama C yelling again and that's when I was taken over by rage and the need to protect Camila. SO I turned the door knob and walked in to the room

"She was thinking that she is in Love and that she never wanted the moment to end" I say answering Mama C and staring at a semi worried Camila.

"Lauren go back outside I am talking with Camila" Her mom says but I stay put

"Lauren I said go" she orders but I just walk past her and bend down to Camila's eye level and take her face in my hands

"It's okay" I say caressing Camila's face and looking into her eyes

"Lauren I said to leave this room" Her mom says sternly but I can care less about what she wants. Right now I'm worried about Camila

"Breathe it's going to be okay" I say to her because she starts to tremble a little and I'm guessing it's because her mom was freaking her out.

"Lauren Michelle te dije que salgas" her mom says again and I stand up to face the red faced woman

"I'm not leaving this room. Don't you see how you yelling is affecting her" I say not caring that it is her mother that I am facing.

"Don't get involved Lauren you have no idea what I am yelling at her for and this does not concern you" she says but I just stare her down

"this does involve me. Camila is my best friend almost like a sister and this also concerns me because the reason your daughter is not a virgin is because of me" I spit back and after I say those last words I feel Camila's hand grab my arm as she stands up

"What did you just say Lauren?" Her mom asks and I take in a deep breath before answering

"Camila didn't have sex with a person you don't know. The person she lost her virginity to was ME" I reply looking at Camila's mom and watching her face go from red to purple to blue in anger

"This has to be a Joke. This is a Joke right Camila?" her mom asks trying to keep calm

"No Mami it's true and Lauren is also my girlfriend" Camila answers taking me hand in hers then dragging me out of the room leaving her mother alone.

Camila's POV

After telling my mom those two things I knew we needed to get out of there before my mom blew up, so I dragged Lauren out with me and made my way to get my dad. We found him outside with Sofi and I knew I had to tell him that I told my mom about Lauren and me. SO to get his attention Lauren cleared her throat making my dad look at us.

"Hey girls. Mila how did your talk with your mom go?" he asks and I just look at him.

"Que paso? What happened?" he asks worried

"I-I told her about me and Lauren and sh-she's really mad" I say stuttering and I feel Lauren rub small circles on my back to help me calm down.

"Ay dios, Okay where is your mother?" he asks and before I can answer I hear my mother.

"Karla Camila Cabello! What are you thinking?"

"Well there is my answer. You girls take Sofi and I'll talk to your mother" My dad says and Lauren and I both nod

I pick Sofi up and we begin to head back to the rooms so that my dad can handle my mom. As we walked into our room from earlier Sofi immediately jumped out of my arms and onto the bed .

"I want to see sponge bob Mila" Sofi says pointing at the T.V. that had Netflix on.

"Sure thing Sofa Monster" Lauren says finding sponge bob and pressing play.

"Lauren can we um- talk outside" I ask shyly

"Yeah come on. Sofi me and Mila will be right back" Lauren says as we walk out the door

"Why did you do that?" I ask her

"Do what? tell Sofi we'd be back" she asks playing dumb

"Not that. I mean why did you walk in when my mom was" I start to say

"yelling at you about being irresponsible?" she finishes for me and I nod

"Baby you are the most responsible person I know and I couldn't just let your mom say all those things to you when they are not true" she says taking me face between her hands

"But you didn't have to do that now she is even more pissed" I say looking into her eyes

"I don't care I wasn't going to let her make you feel bad. I saw it in your eyes after I walked in. You felt guilty over something you don't have to feel guilty about. What happened last night was the most amazing, beautiful, and unforgettable experience in my life, and I don't regret one bit of it. Do you?" she asks

"No. It was the best thing to ever happen to me too" I answer caressing her arm with my right hand

"Then don't feel guilty about it" She says using her thumb to caress my cheek

"I don't but did you see my mom's face after you told her? She looked like she wanted to murder us" I say scared

"I will never let anyone hurt you. Not again" she says kissing my forehead

"But I'm scared of what she could do Lauren" I say looking at her

"Your dad is talking to her right now. It's going to be okay" she replies letting go of my face then hugging me

"How are you so sure? What if she tries to pull us apart?" I ask worried

"She won't pull us apart and you want to know why?" she asks and I nod

"Your mother can't pull us apart because for some strange reason or act of fate neither of us can function without the other. We are like the two pieces to a puzzle that just fit and no matter how hard you try to place us with a different piece it won't work because we are what works. So your mom can get pissed off all she wants but she is not going to pull me away from the one thing that makes me happy. I let Chris do that once and I'm not letting it happen again" she says kissing my head while she continues to hug me

"It that a promise?" I ask her as I look up and into her eyes

"Yes that is a promise and I also promise to always be here for you when you need me, to never leave you alone even if you tell me to go. To be the best friend you've always had in me , to try and be the best girlfriend I can be and most important, to always be honest with you and love you from now to possibly eternity." She says giving me a quick kiss on the lips

"I promise you the same thing" I say kissing her again and hugging her tight.

"I know baby now let's go and watch sponge bob with little princess Sofi" she says giving me another kiss then going inside the room with Sofi
