Meant To Be, Please Don't Go

Chapter 10

Camila's POV
"Camilla are you ok? You've been quiet this whole time. If you wanted to stay back to talk with her you could've just said so."

"No Austin it's fine. Like I said, her and I were done." there was a knot in the back of my throat since the moment Lauren threw herself on the floor. It took everything in me not to join her down there but this is too much already. We forgot what loving each other was really like, all we do lately is cry because of the pain we cause each other. I can't keep doing this to us, I'm the one to blame for all this. If I would've never agreed to go on that stupid date with Austin that night and would've just given Lauren the time she asked for to break up with Luis - maybe just maybe this wouldn't be such a mess.

"Camilla you're not even paying attention to what I'm saying to you." Austin sounded frustrated but he was right I haven't heard a word he said.

"I'm sorry, I was just thinking."

"That's all you do now. Why don't you just let yourself go? Let that bitch go. Let yourself live, all Lauren does is hurt you, don't you see?" he was so angry. It kind of frightened me and fired me up the way he spoke about Lauren.

"Woah woah woah! Austin you have no damn right to speak about her like that, you- you don't fucking know her alright?" I shot back.

"Look you asked for my help. You asked me to help you forget about her. Do you think I should be standing here telling you how amazing she is? Do you think that'll help you? Let me know." he yelled back.

"You're right, I did ask you for help but that still gives you no right to speak about her that way or determine if what she says she feels for me is true. You know what Austin maybe I made a mis- ugh forget this." I walked away from him.

"No no, I'm sorry Camilla. I just like you so much that my jealousy kicked in. You're my girl now, please understand it's not easy for me to see you so upset over someone else." he said while walking in front of me.

I literally wanted to call it all off and punch him for speaking about her that way. He does have a point though, I did ask for his help and I do need to get over her. "Ok. Just don't speak about her to me. I think that's what's best because if you speak about her like that again I don't think this will last." he grabbed the back of my neck and planted one on me. I thought about retaliating but Austin is my boyfriend now, kissing comes with that.

Lauren's POV
The rest of my afternoon was spent with Brad. We did everything you could imagine, from playing pool to watching random TV shows.

"Love it's almost showtime, we both need to begin preparing. I'll see you later alright?" we stopped in front of my dressing room.

"Well thanks for today Brad. I really appreciate it and after the show is do-"

"Shit. Love love." Brad panicked all of a sudden and his eyes widened at something behind me.

"What? What the fuck is it?"

"They're coming this way right now. Austin and the gal. They're coming Laur." he carefully whispered.

"Fuck fuck. What am I going to do? You know what, bye Brad" I opened the dressing room but he stopped me.

"No Lauren. You are not giving them the satisfaction of seeing you scatter. You'll face this, we'll face this together." he sternly said.

"But- I can't look at them straight in the face. Fuck. Fuck my fucking life. Brad. I need another favor right now."

"What is it?"

"Kiss me right now. Kiss me Brad." I desperately asked. He was stunned, his eyes widened and he scratched his head. As I looked over my shoulder in order to look back, I made eye contact with her and when Austin realized this he wrapped his arm around her waist.
