Waiting For Superman (Camren)

Chapter Three

"Camilla!" Sofi exclaimed falling into Camila's arms as Camila stepped through the door. Camila was finally home for the break and she was ready as could be to just catch up on all the missed sleep.

Camila knew that Sofi would want to play with her, so she asked Sofi something before Sofi could ask her. "Hey, Sofi. I really need a cuddle, I'm really sleepy. Do you want to cuddle, Bug?"

Sofi, glad that she could be with Camila, nodded excitedly, pulling Camila up the stairs and into her room. Camila urged Sofi to go and get changed into her pajamas so that they could get into bed. Camila didn't want to bother unpacking yet, so she looked through her closet instead. There was no point. Camila never wore pajamas, and she was only reminded of that, when she saw a pile of Lauren's shirts and sweaters where Camila's pajamas should have been.

Camila giggled, pulling a sweater over her head. It had become ritual to steal Lauren's stuff and only return it in exchange for another item of clothing.

"Hey, Bug!" Camila exclaimed as she saw Sofi bound towards her. What surprised her was that Sofi sported a shirt of Lauren's too.

"I hope you don't mind," Sofi mumbled looking down as she played with her fingers. "I missed you, so Mami said I could wear your pajamas. Now I only wear yours."

"Awn, Bug!" Camila exclaimed pulling Sofi into a hug. "It's ok, I'm sorry that you missed me."

Sofi let out a small yawn, and Camila grinned carrying her to the bed, and getting in to snuggle Sofi.

"Your pajamas don't fit you either," Sofi stated, quizzically looking Camila up and down.

Camila laughed as she pulled Sofi closer. "They're not pajamas. They're shirts."

"Oh! They're Jaguar's shirts!" Sofi giggled.

" Jaguar doesn't wear shirts, bug." Camila chuckled, wondering what Sofi was on about. Jaguar was their little kitten that Camila's parents had agreed to let Sofi have since Camila wasn't able to be around that much.

"Not my kitten Jaguar, silly-" Sofi laughed. She pulled Camila's phone from the bedside and turned it on. She pointed to the lock screen. "that Jaguar. That's why I named the kitten Jaguar, because they both have the same eyes, and they are both really nice and cuddly." Sofi beamed pointing to a picture of Lauren which was Camila's lock screen.

Camila burst into a fit of giggles realizing that Sofi indeed had named her kitten after Lauren Jauregui. And not only that, but seemed to think Lauren's name was Jaguar!

"Bug, her name is Lauren." Camila smiled at Sofi, tickling her gently. "And yes these are her shirts. I can't sleep without her, so she lends me these."

"She lets me call her Jaguar." Sofi kept beaming. "Last time I met her, she took me for ice-cream and frozen yogurt on the same day! We tried banana, which she said was your favorite, but I didn't really like it." Sofi rambled on, crinkling her nose at the thought of banana frozen yogurt.

Sofi kept on going, talking about school, and her friends, and everything in her life. She often came back to the topic of Lauren though, and Camila wondered exactly how much time Sofi must have spent with Lauren, and how she didn't know about it.

Soon enough Sofi was drifting off, and Camila was left alone to her thoughts about Lauren. She was supposed to be mad at Lauren, yet here she was, owning a kitten named after Lauren, sporting matching pajamas with her little sister, that just so happened to be Lauren's, hearing her little sister ramble on about how cool Lauren was, and how all her friends in school loved Lauren when she was on TV.

Camila frowned a little to herself. Was Lauren really doing the acting and modeling, even though they had had such a huge fight about it? One where Lauren's head ended up bleeding out, and Camila ended up fainting and in the hospital?
