The Secrets We Keep (CAMREN)

Chapter 48: Gone

Camila's POV

I had woken up sweating again. Another nightmare, but this time it felt so real. I looked to my side praying that Lauren was sleeping but nothing.

"Lauren" I called out. She must be in the bathroom.

SO I got up and made my way to the bathroom but the light wasn't on. Maybe she's in the kitchen. Yeah the kitchen. As I made my way towards the kitchen I got a weird feeling that something was wrong. I turned on the lights in the living room and no one was there. I shook my head and headed to the kitchen and did the same but no one was in the kitchen either. At this point I got a sickening feeling.

"Lauren if this is a joke it isn't funny. Please come out I-I need you" I say at the point of tears but nothing.

I started to panic and ran to Taylor's room to see if she's seen Lauren.

"Please be in there please" I say to myself as I knock on the bed room door and wait till it opens.

"Camila what's wrong?" Taylor asks in a sleep voice

"You-you haven't seen Lauren have you?" I ask and her eyes go wide

"Not since last night when I checked on you two before going to bed" She replies

"She's not in the apartment" I say completely freaking out

"Camila calm down, she couldn't have gotten far. Ricardo and my dad's guys down stairs wouldn't have let her get anywhere" She says

"What do you mean your dad's guys?" I ask and Taylor looks like she just said something she shouldn't have said.

"Just some body guards nothing big" Tay says

"Taylor I'm worried" I say biting my nails

"Okay let's call Ricardo " She says and I nod in agreement

Taylor takes out her phone and puts it on speaker

"It's Ricardo I can't come to the phone right now so you know what to do" We heard the voice mail say

"Taylor he isn't answering" I say getting more worried

"Okay okay let me call one of the guards" She says and dials a number while leaving the phone on speaker

"Yes miss Jauregui"

"It's Taylor have you seen my sister around there she isn't up here" Taylor says

"No, we haven't seen any movement down here." the guard answers back

"SHE GONE" I shout

"I'll have everyone start looking for her don't worry we'll find her" he says then hangs up

"Call you dad now" I say hysterical

"Already on it" Taylor says with her phone on her ear

Where is she oh God please please please don't let anything happen to her please. Was all I could think of as I sat on the couch with my head in my hands.

Chris' POV

After warning Lauren, I got out the same way I got in, unnoticed. I know my sister and even f I warn her she's going to do what she wants so I knew I had to find a way to help her. I spent the rest of my day keeping a low profile because it was true, my dad and the cops were looking for me. At around 10pm I got a text from Paul telling me that I knew what I had to do. Which meant that he wanted me to make sure Lauren left so that I can take care of Camila. I really wasn't going to go through with the second part and as for the first part I was going to at least try and convince my sister not to do it. When it was 10:15 I made my way into the parking Garage and hid by her car.
