I Need You Now (Lauren / You)

Chapter 11

Your POV

"I realized that it was also my fault." I stand in front of Lauren's door, getting poured on by rain.

"What?" Lauren asks, confused written all over her face.

"That we broke up," I breathe out, "I didn't show you attention. I wasn't there for you - I'm sorry."

Lauren sighs and glances behind her, then stepping out and shutting the door.

"I accept your apology, but -"

"But we can't be together," I finish for her. "I know. But can we at least be friends?"

"We can try," Lauren nods. "Yeah - we can try." She says again.

A knock at the door makes me turn the TV off. I stand up and walk over to it. I open the door to see Camila.

"Mila?" I raise an eyebrow.

"Lauren's stupid," Camila announces. "She's so stupid to see what's in front of her. You are, you're so special and one of a kind. Y/N, I was always jealous of her and you. I wanted that to be me. I wanted to hold your hand. I still do."

What. The. Fuck?

"Uh.." I trail off, shuffling uncomfortably. Camila stands up on her tipi toes and attaches her lips to mine. I kiss back, but quickly pull back. "No."

"No?" Camila frowns.

"No," I repeat, shaking my head. "Camila, you're Lauren's best friend. I can't. I won't ruin your friendship, because Lauren and I are going to try and be friends again."

Camila frowns, her arms dropping by her side.

"Oh..okay." She begins to walk off.

"Hey Camila!" I shout, making her turn around. "If there's any consolation, I'd totally date you." Camila smiles and leaves the building.

Well shit, I'm already keeping a secret from Lauren. What a great start to a new friendship!

----

I walk into the café to see everyone there. Everyone being; Lauren, Camila, Dinah, Normani, Ally, Bea, Shawn and Brad. I make my way over there and sit down next to Bea.

I forgot; Shawn has s major crush on Camila - and Camila likes me. There's another love triangle.

"Hey." I say, warming my hands up. "It's fucking cold."

"Yeah. It might snow later on." Shawn tells me.

"Lauren! Lauren! It's snowing!" I exclaim, throwing on my coat, hat and mittens.

"And?" She laughs.

"Come on!" I grin, throwing her her stuff. "Let's go play in it!"

"You're a 5 year old." Lauren chuckles as we exit the building. I smile and form a snowball, then throwing it at her. "Ow!" It hits her face.

I smirk, "This 5 year old just owned you."

"Oh, it's on!"

I lightly laugh at the memory, then looking down at the table.

"I hope it snows, I love it." I comment, looking up.

"I do too." Lauren says, smiling at me. I stare at Lauren for what seems like forever, until a cough breaks our trance.

"So, babe, want to go on a date tonight?" Brad asks, emphasizing the word 'babe'. 

I sigh and lean back in my seat.

"Uh, sure." Lauren mummers, shifting in her seat. I look down at the table, playing with my fingers.

"Hey Y/N." I look up to see my dad.

"Oh, uh, hey dad."

"Dad!?" Dinah and Camila exclaims. "Your dad is Y/D/N L/N? World-wide fashion designer?"

"Oh, so that's what you do." I comment.

"Yep! I always loved fashion."

"Hey babe." A man comes up to my dad, kissing him on the cheek.

"What?" I furrow my eyebrows. "You - oh my god. You left mom because you're gay?"

"Oh! You must be Y/N! I've heard a lot about you. I'm Shannon." Shannon has brown hair and blue eyes.

"Like I said, Y/N, we have a lot to catch up on." Dad smiles.

Damn right, we do.

It's short but I wanted to update before I get to school.

Have a great day and good morning!

-Gracie.
