Grow Old Without You (A Camren Story)

What I'm Living For

Grow Old Without You (Chapter 11)

LAUREN

"What do you mean why did I save you?" I cried as I stood up. "You know what, I'm so done, Camz. I can't save you if you don't want to be saved. I'm out."

"No. Lauren please. No." Camila cried as she slowly stood up. "Please, Lo, No." She was breaking down now.

"Come on guys." I said as tried to pull Kara and Lana's arms. They probably heard everything and ran downstairs.

"We can't leave Mama." Kara cried

"You said we'll take care of her." Lana cried as she looked at me dead in the eyes.

"We can't take care of someone who doesn't want to be taken care of." I said as I tried pulling the twins again.

"Please Lauren. I promise I won't do it again! Please don't leave me again. Please don't leave me." Camila said finally out of Mani's grip and now soaking the carpet in the living room. "Lauren, please. Don't leave me. Don't take them. Please. I need you. I promise I'll be better." Camila said holding on to my hand, sobbing hard infront of me.

"Camz, you need to get better. We're trying to help you, but you don't want it. What do you want us to do? I can't save you forever." I cried to her as she looked down her feet.

"But you promised me you'll help me. Please, I don't want to go to rehab. I'll be better, just please trust me." Camz cried infront of me as I helped her up. She hugged me tight, burying her face on my neck as she sobbed into me. There's something about having her in my arms again, that feeling of wanting everything to be better, and just wanting her to be happy.

"I just want you to be happy Camz." I whispered to her ear as she relaxed on my arms. She calmed down a bit as she wiggled out of my arms.

"What do I to become better?" She asked me with pleading eyes.

"Accept all your flaws and mistakes. Acceptance." Ally said as we surrounded Camila.

"Have an open heart. There's always room for change and to become better." Mani smiled at Camila as Camz just nodded her head.

"Okay, okay. I can do that. Will you help me?" She said looking at everyone with pleading eyes.

"Only if you want our help." Dinah said as Camila nodded her head frantically. "No more bathroom incidents, and no more swimming in the pool." Dinah warned.

"Yes. I promise."

"From now on, let's not say I promise. Let's say I will." I smiled at everyone as they all nodded their heads.

"I will become better." Camila said as we all smiled at her. Lana and Kara ran up to her, hugging her tight as I went up to her and kissed her head. That's all I wanted to hear from her.

The girls were staying with us, and thankfully we bought this house to cater as much people as we can when were still touring. As for Evil Spawn and Will, they're staying at a hotel, sipping Champagne or whatever. I mean don't get me wrong, Will's pretty cool, but Janelle is ugh!

"Lo, can I talk to you?" Keana said as I was walking up the stairs. All of the girls are upstairs getting ready for bed as I was just cleaning up.

"What's up, Kea?" I said as I stopped on the stairs.

"Lo, you're just going to hurt them. Please don't get them too attached, especially Camila."

"I know what I'm doing Ke." I sighed as she just nodded her head, knowing if she pushes it, she will just piss me off.
