Thirty Reasons || Camren

Chapter 1

The invitation

A loud and lingering knock on the door wakes up Lauren.

"Open the door" she almost yelled but no one seemed to be awake. She frowned and got off her bed. "Oh my god, everyone in this house is deaf". Lauren went downstairs and opened the door.

"Hello, is this the Jauregui's house?" an old post man asked and smiled at her.

"Yeah" Lauren nodded.

"Well, young lady, I have this invitation from the Cabello's". Lauren's eyes widened when she heard that last name. She was speechless but went back to reality when she heard the post man talk again.

"Are you okay?" The old man looked at Lauren concerned.

"Um y-yeah and thank you for this" she said, quickly grabbing the invitation and closing the door.

Lauren went back to her room and noticed that everyone was still sleeping. She closed the door, and sat on her bed while opening the invitation. She held it while noticing it was a wedding invitation and started reading.

"Camila Cabello & Shawn Mendes and their families are delighted to invite you to celebrate their marriage..."

"What?! Marriage?? But she's just 18, what the hell is this?" she cursed and then turned her attention to the door in front of her that was slowly opening.

"Hello, honey.. Why are you awake?" her mom said while opening the door completely.

"Well, no one was answering the door and we got this invitation" Lauren said while handling it for her mom to see.

"Oh, Camila Cabello is getting married? But isn't she like your age?

"She's 18" Lauren said with a cold tone.

"Are you okay?" Clara asked

"Yeah, can you please just go? I'm still tired" Lauren said a little bit harshly because she was really annoyed by all this happening out of nowhere.

"Fine, i'll leave... But we're going to talk when you wake up again" Lauren rolled her eyes and nodded. After her mother left she was just laying in bed and overthinking everything that just happened that morning, her eyes were slowly closing until she fell asleep again.

3 hours after, Clara knocked on Lauren's door again, "Come in" she said, she was already awake but still laying in bed with her phone in her hands.

"How are you beauty sleep?" Clara asked while sitting beside her and staring to caress Lauren's head.

"I'm better, but you know that if you caress me like that i'm going to fall asleep again right?" she smiled and Clara smiled back.

"Of course I know, i know everything about my baby" Clara said with a motherly tone. Lauren just kept smiling.

"So what is it?" She said while scooting closer to her.

"She's getting married" Lauren said quickly and trying not to look into her mother's eyes.

"Well, i already knew that one honey, what I don't know is why are you so mad about it" Clara said while smirking

"I'm not mad I just..." She stayed quiet while trying to find the right words to say, "she's too young to get married you know, it's not right.. I feel like they're forcing her into doing something she doesn't want to".

"How do you know she doesn't want to?" Clara asked clearly confused.

"I just know. I'm pretty sure she didn't plan this." Lauren told her mom while running a hand through her hair, her eyes getting a deeper shade of green.

"Oh well darling, even if that was the case, we wouldn't be able to do anything y'know?, she's not even part of our family even if we used to feel like she was back then, let's just hope she doesn't get forced to do anything against her will".

"Yeah, i guess you're right" Lauren said while looking down but Clara lifted up her chin, "It's too early for you to be sad honey, i'm going to make something to eat, i'll wait for you downstairs".

Lauren nodded and when her mother left her alone she thought "i'm not going to let her get married, i've gotta do something to stop that wedding".
-

After eating her breakfast Lauren went right back to her room. It had been so long since Camila and her had seen each other, she took an old notebook, "here it is", she said begging that Camila hadn't changed her number she dialed it and waited for someone to actually reply

"Hello" a very familiar voice spoke through the phone.

"Uh hi,  is- is this Camila?" Lauren said almost stuttering, she was more nervous than she thought she'd be

"Yeah, who's calling?" Camila asked kinda confused.

"Oh it's me, Lauren" she said with a little more confidence

"You mean, Lauren... Ja-jauregui?" Camila was now the one stuttering and sounded even more nervous

"The one and only" Lauren answered proudly and smiled, but then she frowned when she heard Camila had hung up already. Was she still mad after all these years? Lauren thought Camila would be excited to talk to her again, after everything that had happened they had been best friends for so long.

Lauren didn't call Camila again, but she definitely wasn't giving up, so she decided to text her and give Camila some time alone to think about her coming back to her life.

L: Hi, it's Lauren... In case you didn't save my number, i don't know if you're still mad for... Well you know, but maybe we can talk and finally fix everything :-)

She pressed send and with that she locked her phone.
