The day had come and in a couple hours I was off to LA. I was meeting Selena at the airport at 6:30. I check the time it was 12am. Me and Selena had been meeting up everyday since the funeral and are getting pretty close.

I've told her about me and Camila splitting up and her having a boyfriend already. Yeah boyfriend. Apparently Austin and Camila had made things official on their little trip. I couldn't care less though. Selena told me Camila was missing out and it was her loss. I headed out to the kitchen to make coffee to try wake myself up a bit more. I made coffee and sat down at the table. I took out my phone checking my notifications. I had a message from Selena. 

Selena: Hey babe, you excited for LA? 😉

Babe? I decided to not over think it and reply back.

Lauren: Of course, I better start making some social media pages I literally have none 😂👎🏻..

Selena: Make some and we will take a selfie later and I'll get you some followers 😎 xx

Lauren: Sounds good, I got to pack up a few more things and sort some shit out so I'll see you at the airport later 😄 x

Selena: Okay cool, see you later babe 😘😉 x

Okay she is definitely flirting now. But I'm kind of enjoying it. Do I have feelings for Selena? I don't know but I could definitely see myself eventually liking her more than a friend. She's gorgeous, nice, a great friend. What isn't there to like?

Me and Normani had sorted everything out to do with the apartment. She was going to live on her own for a bit until the the moving out notice is up and she's going to move in with Camila and Dinah. Her Dinah have been doing great the past couple of months so when I told them I was moving to LA they were all upset but supportive of me. Camila still doesn't know about my mom dying or that I'm moving to LA. But she wouldn't care anyway. Dinah offered Normani to move in with her when she found out and Normani straight away said yes.

I packed up the last few things and checked the time it was 2pm. I decided to sit down and watch Titanic to kill time. I've seen it like ten times but I still never get bored of it. When the film finished I got up of the sofa and got a fright when I heard a knock at my door.

I wasn't expecting anyone so I didn't have a clue who it could have been. I went over and opened the door. I was shocked to see a certain brown eyed Cuban at my door. I could've sworn my heart skipped a beat.

"Where you really going to leave without saying goodbye Lauren! I thought we were friends?" She said storming into my apartment. She went into the kitchen and I followed her.

"Yeah I was but it's not like you would have cared anyway since you were paying to much attention to Mr.FuckBoy!" I couldn't believe she was angry at me right now.

"Me and Austin broke up but that's none of your business anyway" She said harshly but why did I feel happy to hear that?

"And me moving was none of yours either" I spat back.

"So what you were just going to get up and leave your friends, your job.... even your mom?" My anger boiled up inside and I couldn't stop the the words that slipped out of my mouth.

"My mom is fucking dead Camila! She died last week when your were on you perfect little holiday. You were the one who promised me you would be there for me when my mom dies but you weren't!" I shouted. Her expression went from angry to guilty. 

"L-Lauren I'm so sorry... Why didn't anyone tell me?" I could hear her voice crack so I knew she was close to tears.

"Because I asked them not to.. I didn't want you to know"
