For Crying Out Loud

Chapter 7

Frankly, I know a lot of people would judge me for being a bit shaken by Lauren's mom, but I'm sure everyone knows how Hispanic mothers are when they get angry and at times I was afraid of Normani's mom whenever she was upset with me and it's not a great feeling. Not to mention I just slapped her daughter in the face not too long ago so there was that too.

"Ally and Lauren I want to talk to the both of you" Clara said.

Normani, Dinah, and Camila immediately exited the room and I don't blame them. I sort of wish I left with them too.

"Will you two like to explain to me what Camila meant in the airport? Also I may be old but I do know how Instagram works and who would like to explain the naked post of my daughter and her best friend?" Clara asked.

Lauren gave me a pleading look. "Uh... at the airport things just got out of hand and Camila was just upset" I said.

"Oh so there was no truth to her accusations of having sex with Lauren?" Clara asked.

"Um..." I said.

"It's true we do fuck one another" Lauren said.

I stared at Lauren in shock with her use of words. I wasn't sure how she was able to just say that to her mother without worrying about the way she would react.

Clara sighed. "Lauren you can't do this again" Clara said.

Wait did Lauren's mom just say again? I hope I heard her wrong and the way she's reacting is not the way parents would react if their child said what Lauren just said.

"It's not like how it was back in Miami. My relationship with Camila is different than it was with her" Lauren said.

"You said you had this handled Lauren and there wouldn't be a problem. I thought you were happy with Luis?" Clara said.

"I am happy with him" Lauren said.

"Honestly I feel like you could do so much better than Luis but you're attracted to whoever you're attracted to" Clara said.

"Wait... whose her?" I asked.

"A friend who Lauren also developed feelings for and she was visiting Miami from Boca Raton for the summer and..."

"Mom! I beg you to please stop talking" Lauren interrupted.

Clara ignored her daughter and continued. "Ally I'm surprised that you have yet to meet her yet you guys have seen her numerous times"

"Who is she?" I asked.

"It doesn't matter" Lauren said glaring at me.

"Alright guys you need to head out to the bus" Steven yelled at us startling us all.

Lauren passed me and followed behind Steven. I was about to follow behind Lauren when Clara grabbed my arm.

"Watch her for me Ally. Lauren is known for making stupid choices" Clara said before hugging me.

I hugged her back and I understood what she meant about Lauren making stupid decisions. She never thought things out but just acted on anything that popped into her head.

"I will do my best" I said.

"That's all I ask" Clara said pulling away from me.

I was about to leave when the thought of the mystery girl crossed my mind. "Who is the girl that you were talking about?" I ask.

"Oh her name is Ariana Grande. Lauren was very smitten with her. When Lauren got on X Factor they broke up. Lauren claimed it was because of the distance but I think it was something else" Clara said.
