Why we were chosen.

Chapter 48

*Trigger Warning*

"I knew you would be here." Amy let out a humorless chuckle once she saw Lauren sitting on the grass in front of Camila's gravestone. 

Lauren only looked up at her friend and gave her a gentle smile. "What are you doing here?"

"Sadie's was totally getting lame." Amy shrugged, looking down at her shoes. "Besides, I'd rather have spent it with you."

"What about Becky?" Lauren asked her best friend. As much as Lauren loved her friend, she kind of wished she hadn't shown up. She wanted to be alone with Camila.

"I ditched her." Amy met eyes with Lauren. "She was having fun with everyone else. I tried to, but how could I have fun when my best friend left after an hour?"

"Sorry about that." Lauren looked down. She had planned to stay longer, but she couldn't help but think of Camila. The longer she stayed at the dance, the more she wanted to be with the brown eyed girl.

"It's cool." Amy shrugged before looking around. "I'm going to go change out of this and use the restroom, then I have to catch Camila up on the new season of How I Met Your Father."

Lauren only nodded her head before she watched her friend walk away. 

"Damn it, why did she have to show up Camz?" Lauren frowned before shaking her head. "I just wanted it to be you and me tonight."

"I know bebe!" Amy rolled her eyes as she slipped off her dress. Becky couldn't help but glance down at her girlfriends body before shaking her head.

"You left me and took my car! How am I supposed to go home?" Becky narrowed her eyes at her girlfriend. 

"You can literally ask any of the girls to drop you off, and if they didn't drive, then one of the guys." Amy grabbed hold of her t-shirt and put it on.

"I asked you to Sadies because I wanted you with me!"

"And I was! I just left early!" Amy chuckled at her girlfriends glare. After she put on her joggers, she let out a sigh. She grabbed her phone and looked at her girlfriend. "Bebe, Camila asked Dinah and I to look after Lauren. She knew we would drop anything and everything to be with Lauren when she needed us. That is why we were chosen. And right now, Lauren is sitting in the middle of a cemetery with Camila's jean jacket on. She needs me right now." Becky frowned at her girlfriend's words.

"Oh, I didn't know you were with Lauren." Becky mumbled, sitting on one of the steps by the gym doors. "I thought she said she was going home."

"She did say that." Amy shrugged, placing the phone onto the sink before she shoved her dress and heels in her duffle bag. "But I just knew she was going to come here instead."

"I'm sorry that I was upset with you."

"Apology accepted."

"Babe." Becky glared at the girl.

"I'm just joking." Amy chuckled before grabbing her phone again. "I'm sorry that I left you."

"Apology accepted." Becky smiled, but Amy only shook her head.

"It's only funny when I do it." Becky narrowed her eyes at her girlfriend again before she felt a cold breeze hit her.

"Alright, I'll let you go." Becky said as she stood from the stairs. "Grab the blankets I have in my trunk, it's cold and I don't want you two sitting in the cemetery with just your sweaters on."

"Got it amor." Amy blew her a kiss before the two said goodbye. By the time Amy walked back to Becky's car to retrieve the blankets and drop off her duffle bag, Lauren had already placed her purse on the ground to use it as a pillow. She was staring at the stars, but after a few moments she started to get sleepy.
