Meant To Be, Please Don't Go

Chapter 9

Lauren's POV
"Love, is everything alright?" Brad asked

"No Brad. I just did the hardest thing I've ever had to do.. I gave up on love." I sat down on the concrete. It's like my feet weren't strong enough to withhold all the pain my body now carried.

"If you'd like I'm here as your pal. You can tell me if it'll make you feel better" Brad joined me and handed me over a napkin from his back pocket.

"Brad. I don't know where to start - how to start. I don't know if you'll even want to speak to me." I grabbed some pebbles and began throwing them.

"Love. I don't care. I won't judge. Promise." I felt secure with Brad, I trusted every word he said.

"Ok. I'm in love with Camila. I didn't know I loved her until she confessed her love for me - because she saw a few insta posts of me and my boyfriend - at the moment. I was so lost - we kissed and then I realized, I loved her too. It was downhill from there. She wanted me to leave Luis - my ex boyfriend but boyfriend at the time. I didn't want to- well I did but I couldn't. I didn't want to hurt him you know? Then Austin Mahone became part of her life, romantically and I needed a break from it all. I came back just to find out we were going to be here - on this tour. I - I think we just run with what we feel at that very moment and do stupid shit that fucks everything up for us. Well, at least I do. She gave herself to me. We were intimate. I was searching for her after that to fix this bullshit and tell her I was willing to risk it all for her. They were kissing, Austin and her. I lost it and ran to Dinah and that's when you found me. Right now she begged me - went on her knees - wanted my forgiveness. And you know what I said? I told her to leave me the fuck alone. Instead of holding her, telling her I love her, I called it all off. Brad I literally fucking handed the love of my life to Mr. Austin Dickhead Mahone on a silver platter." I stopped talking to then realize I suck at explaining my situation with Camila or my ex-situation. Or maybe the situation is just so complicated that it's hard to explain.

"Wow Lauren. Uhh.." he giggled while rubbing the back of his neck. "I don't know where to start. Do you really love the gal?"

"Brad I've never loved someone with the intensity I love her. I've never felt as if my heart needed someone to flow blood correctly through my body. Without her my heart is suffering."

"Then what are you doing? Fight for her. Get your gal back." he lifted me up to my feet.

"No. I - I can't Brad. Not after what I said." I sat back down.

"If Camila loves you like you say she does, she will forgive you. No doubt about it." he bent down and smirked. "Go get her."

"Brad - I - I don't know. I'll think about it ok? I promise you that. Right now I think we need space. To stay far away from each other as we can." I captivated all the beautiful tints that were forming part of the sky during the sunset.

"Well that's quite difficult love. She is your group mate and you have to be back in 10 minutes for the meet and greet." he pulled me up again and placed his arm around me while we walked back into the building.

I totally forget sometimes that Camila forms a huge part of my life as it is. I can't stay away from her we're both part of Fifth Harmony.

Camila's POV
I walked back into our dressing room in order to get ready for our meet & greet even if I'm not in the best mood. What pushes me to keep going is knowing that there's a group of people out there waiting hours to meet me. I love the Harmonizers, they're amazing.

"Walz can we talk?" Dinah was smacking on some Hot Cheetos.

"Uh yeah China sure.." I shot a fake smile at her
