"Lauren I'm engaged" camila said while sobbing.

Lauren just stood there, shocked, disappointed and crushed at the same time.

All of the waiting and the hope, now all gone. She can't believe what she had heard as if her heart is blocking the truth on her brain.

Her legs became weak, her pulse quickened and she struggled to breath. She closed her eyes. She's trying so hard to suppress the tears that was forming in her eyes threatening to fall so hard.

'She felt so weak'.

She looked on the ground instead with a blurred vision trying to find the courage to speak but none came.

'She just stood there'.

"Lauren I'm sorry" Camila spoke. "I'm so sorry"

"Lauren please.... forgive me I don't want to lead you... on something...." Camila added as she wiped her tears at the back sleeve of her shirt.

Lauren walk towards her as she cupped her cheeks and wipe her tears.

"Don't cry Camz" Lauren whisper. "Please stop crying".

"I'm sorry, sorry..." Camila said as she continued to sob.

"It's okay, Camz... Everything is okay". Lauren said, she did not want to pour her emotions right now. She needed to be strong for her.

As much as it hurts her she can't forgive herself as the reason for Camila's tears. She knew that Camila felt guilty on what happened.

She held her body closed to her. Hugging her one more time, Lauren thought.

Camila cried on Lauren's arms. Lauren giving her the support to stand up.

"Shh... I'm here you don't have to cry" Lauren assures her.

"But I hurt you, I know how much this means to you". Camila said.

"No you didn't hurt me and as much as what I feel for you matters to me, you also matters to me." Lauren smile weakly. "Loving you is my decision, you never forced me to do anything. Camz, look at me." She continued to smile and tilt Camila's face to look at her. "Camz, I love you. I love you even before everything else happen. You don't have to blame yourself. It's not your fault."

Camila sniffed and her body relaxed a bit. "But I should have told you before."

"What will be the difference if you told me now or before, it will hurt the same?" Lauren tries to explain. "Please no more crying"

Camila forced to smile.

"Do you feel better now?" Lauren asked her.

"Yeah, you?" Camila looked at Lauren.

"I'm fine" she lied as she rub Camila's arm trying to comfort her or more to comfort herself.

"So here you are! You bitch!"

Camila pulled away upon hearing that voice. She turned around frightened.

"A-Austin?" Camila stutter as she walked towards him.

"Who's these? Are you cheating on me with this these thing?" He smirked at Lauren.

"Are you crazy Austin? I'm not cheating on you." Camila tries to steady herself.

Austin studying Lauren from head to foot.

"Tell me about yourself, what do you do for a living?" Austin asked Lauren disregarding Camila statement.
