Forbidden Love (CAMREN)

twenty-four

LAURENS POV

Its been just over 6 months without seeing her, speaking to her. Every second that passed destroyed me more.

People may call me stupid for not letting her go yet, but it's impossible for me. What people don't understand is that Camila and I... We are- I stopped myself from finishing and corrected myself

We were in love. We had this connection that was undeniable. She made me feel things no one else has ever.

I have tried to get past her, tried to move on... But nothing.

I had been with 3 other people since her, they were all cute and amazing, but I couldn't be with them like I could be with Camila.

From time to time i'd look at her facebook or Instagram and see pictures of her and Taylor. They were happy and In love. They were planning on going on holiday in a few weeks. They were getting really serious and I hated it. I hated them. I hated her for moving on with someone else when she promised to love me forever.

I thought I knew what real pain felt like but I didn't until I saw the way she looked at her...

Camila looked at Taylor in ways she never looked at me and it hurt like a bitch.

"Hey Mani, Hey Ally" I tried to regain my breath

"Why you so outta breath Laur?" Ally asked

"Because, its raining and I don't want to get wet..." i told them

"I did tell you i'd pick you up but you refused" Mani told me

"Yeah but you've gave me enough rides the past couple weeks" I explained

"Yeah i'm still waiting on that fuel money" Mani said and winked

"You know i'm kidding Laur" She laughed and I nodded

We sat down at the table we claimed ours. We where at our favourite coffee shop in Miami. It was cheap and it was vintage... Two things I love best.

I ordered a strong coffee and Normani and Ally ordered tea... In a coffee shop... Typical

"So Laur, what have you been up to lately?" Ally asked

"Not much, just focusing on looking for a good university... And a job so I can actually pay for university" I laughed

"You will find one Laur, you're so smart and you're grades are like the best" Ally reassured me

"Thanks Allycat" I squeezed her hand and she smiled

Me, Ally and Normani engaged in a conversation about the Beyoncè concert Normani went to see a couple days ago, she was literally so excited when she was talking about it and her eyes lit up... Thats one thing i've always admired about Mani. When she talks about something she loves, she's passionate about it, it makes me smile.

While we were deep in conversation about Beyoncè I heard an all to familiar voice entering my head, I tried to ignore it but it clicked and I realised who's voice it was.... Camila.

"Can I have a black coffee and a strong coffee" I heard her say to the cashier

She looked beautiful.

More beautiful than I had remembered, she looked older, just a little bit but it was hot.

She wore her hair half up and half down and wavy. She was wearing a black lace top and tight black jeans that complimented her legs well.

I was staring, like really staring. She hadn't noticed me yet.

"Lauren..." I heard a voice echo in the back of my head but I was too focused on the beautiful girl across the room from me
