Hi hello, lovelies! This is the last chapter of this book until the epilogue. I know this book is sorta short and what not but at least I finished one!

L A U R E N

We sat in the car silence falling upon us. It wasn't even comfortable it was disturbing silence. I still don't understand why Camila would do such a thing. She was too perfect. An ethereal snowflake too perfect for this world. But she wouldn't let me speak to her anymore.

My hands trembling trying to stay calm and to calm my nerves down a bit. I was surprised I wasn't freaking out when I grabbed Camila at the last second. She could've fallen and she'd be gone forever. It wasn't and it's not going to end this way. Not on my watch.

I could see her shivering. She must be scared out of her mind. I mean, she just almost killed herself. I was so angry right now. Not with her but with myself. She was bullied so much that she just wanted to end it, the sad truth is that I'm the main source behind it. She could've been popular with so many close friends if I was just nice to her on that first day of school.

"Camila?" I whispered trying not to frighten her. "Yeah?" She answered back but her voice was flat. Shaken but flat.

"Why?" I saw her tense up beside me before she turned her attention to the window avoiding my question completely. Looking at the trees as they passed by. "I don't want to talk about it." She whispered closing her eyes too soon.

"Thank you for driving me home, and saving my life." My heart warmed up a bit as a small smile spread across my face.

"It wasn't a problem just please don't do it again. Even if you hate me, please don't leave me." I whispered my voice cracking as she reached for the handle.

She turned back facing me her eyes filled with tears. If only I was still with her, I could make them go away. Instead of causing it.

Her movements were fast but gentle and I didn't know what to do. She grabbed the collar of my shirt before placing a long lingering kiss on my cheek before mumbling. "Thank you, Lauren." Under her breath before leaving the car quickly and walking inside.

My car was still parked in her driveway as I sat there with a wide smile on my face my hand resting on my cheek, it warming up from Camila's kiss.

She kissed and it wasn't forced. God this girl is going to be the death of me if we didn't get back together soon.

I walked down the halls my books held tightly against my chest just wanting to get ignored and unnoticed.

Did I really try to kill myself? I would've died and drowned if Lauren didn't help me. Though that wasn't the first time that happened. I didn't question how she found me. It was just out of the blue.

And the kiss I gave her was just a reflex a sort of friendly gesture to say 'thank you for saving my life'

But it probably confused the hell out of Lauren.

Dinah brushed past me and I could see a couple of scratch marks on her face, she really deserved it.

I put my books in my locker before I felt a pair of arms wrapped around my waist. I jumped slightly before turning around and seeing Aust- fuck it Dorito boy looking down at me.

"Hi Austin." I smiled as he kissed my cheek softly. "Hey." He replied taking my hand after I closed my locker. "So tonight is the black and white masquerade dance and I wanted to see if we were going?"
