Chapter 15: Bound to happen

Of course, after some progress with Luna, Camila should've known something bad was bound to happen.

Her weekend had been great, it was one of the only ones Dinah wasn't on call and they enjoyed the time together. They watched their favorite shows and started a new one, killing Eve, Camila was already obsessed with it.

On Sunday morning, things took a turn for the worse, after Lauren's ex-wife's interview, Dinah followed all of them on social media, she said she wanted to be in the loop, and on the loop she was... She was just stalking people when she saw that Lucy had posted a family picture with a loving caption - Camila could see the picture was old because of the girls, they were much younger in it but not everyone would know that.

The woman wanted to portray a happy family that didn't exist.

Camila didn't know why, but looking at the picture made her gag, and something in her face must've alerted Dinah.

"Don't even think about it" Dinah warmed her "You've nothing to do with this and you don't need to go over there, it's her problem to fix"

"Dinah..." To be honest she hadn't thought that until after the brunette said it but now... It made sense for her to go there and check on the girls, right?

Right?

She wanted to be there for the kids and Lauren, for sure that picture wouldn't leave her boss happy. Everything inside of her was screaming that Lauren and the kids needed her right now

"Mila, you can't" She kept on fighting for her little sister to see reason, she was crossing a line "You don't even know if she would want you there or even she saw it"

"I can't stay here doing nothing knowing the girls are going to see that" She bit her lips "Luna is all over Instagram, especially anything with her mom's name"

"Camila..."

"DJ, just let me do it okay?" She needed it "If I get fired then we'll have our answers, Lauren did say to go to her if I was worried again"

"But on a Sunday? Can't it wait?" Dinah was begging now, she didn't want to see her little sister getting hurt and something was telling her that Lauren's rejection would hurt more than Camila was expecting it to "Wait till you get to work..."

"Nope," She got her things and left.

————————————————————-

Being Sunday, there's no traffic or people at the subway so that's always a plus but it did leave her with little time to rethink her decision or even to think about what she was going to say to Lauren when she got there.

Hey, I couldn't stop thinking about you and your daughters so I came to check on you.

Hey, I'm a little obsessed with your family, can I come in?

Hey, I was worried...

None of this sounded right.

What she got at the door was exactly what she was expecting, except for the three women that she could recognize from Liv's birthday party, Normani, and the other two she didn't know. Lauren was breaking glass after glass, throwing them against the wall. Turning to the sound of the door she opened her eyes and blinked at the brunette on her front hall.

"What are you doing here?" She said unwelcoming but Camila didn't take offense, the only problem was how she was going to explain herself to the women in the living room all looking at her expectantly. "Answer me"

"I called her" Wow, Normani to the rescue. She took pity on Camila's face "To be with the girls"

"It wasn't your place, Normani," Lauren said and Camila shrank her shoulders.
