Too late (Camren/Laurinah)

// December 9, 2014

So, today I have this major surprise planned out for Lauren. She deserves the best, and that's what I'm going to give her. I thought I knew Camila, but she proved me wrong by breaking her heart.

--

I'm at school, actually I'm super early today. I know Lauren has this project due today, so I really need to talk to her. I miss her so badly, and I want to tell her the truth. I know she's gonna hate me still, but it's worth a try.

Lauren was in the art class as usual, just her. I waited outside in the courtyard for her. It was only about 10 minutes she was in there. I thought long and hard what to say to her.

"Lauren" I shouted out to her. "What do you want Camila" Camila? Well that hurt, she always calls me Camz. My fault right? "Please, let me explain everything" she kept walking, I was huffing and puffing. I'm not so energetic like she is. "You lost your chance Camila" I stopped in place so I could catch my breath.

"LAUREN PLEASE, JUST STOP AND LISTEN" I shouted, using up my breath. She turned around and walked towards me. "What do you have to explain? The fact that you humiliated me by thinking you cared? You broke my heart by choosing the one person I cannot stand in the school!"

"Or, that I wasted my time thinking I could actually wait for you. What's also funny is that-- I didn't listen to Chris. He tried to protect me from getting my heart broken from you, but this part is great-- I said you would never do that to me, but you did" she laughed while tears were streaming down her face, as was mine.

"Lauren--I.." my voice cracked. "What Camila? You have no idea how hard it was the first week without you. Seeing you everyday with him? Yeah, that clearly didn't phase you huh? Yeah I know we weren't a couple, but seriously Camila. You know for damn sure it was like we were one"

It was silent for a couple seconds, and I didn't know what to say. I've never seen her like this and I broke her heart bad. "How could you be so happy with him after what he's done to me. After all the things he said? I thought you loved me, I thought I mattered to you?" she cooled down a bit.

"I'm sorry Lauren, for everything. None of this was my fault. I promise you, I do love you and you fucking matter so much to me okay! I've been miserable since that day! You think it was easy for me to see you with Dinah!? Yeah how could you be with her right away, right after everything"

"If You did, you wouldn't have lied, you would not have chose him over me" I was about to speak, but he fucking had to show up. "Oh look, is Jauregui finally talking to you?" she was angry once he showed up. "Goodbye Camila" and like that, she walked away.

"What is wrong with you Austin!?" I was so disgusted with him already. Like he always does, he just smiled. "Don't forget babe, what did we agree on" I walked away from him to my locker.

I could see people crowding the Hall of Lockers. I know for sure that I saw Lauren, and Chris. I just couldn't see who the other person was. I moved up closer to get a better view what everyone looked so hyped on.

Dinah was holding this big sign behind her with this huge speaker box connected with a microphone. "Lauren Michelle Jauregui" her smile was big. Lauren was blushing, from what I could see. She covered her face a couple of times. Then Dinah started singing.

If you were mine, I'd be your everything.

And you'd be the only thing that I would ever need.

If you were mine, I would tell everyone that you are the only one, that I could ever want.

After she sang that verse, she held out her sign and spoke into the mic. "Go to Winter Formal with me" and Lauren ran up to her into a tight hug. I wish I didn't see all of this because, that one broke my heart.
