Sleep With Me (A Camren One-Shot)

Sleep With Me

Lauren lets out a groan and turns over for what seems like the billionth time tonight. She has never been the one that can just fall asleep right when the lights go out, but lately, her insomnia has seemed to be getting even worse. She sighs and sits up in her bed, flicking on her bedside lamp. She knows that she won't be getting any sleep anytime soon, no matter how tired she is.

She looks at her alarm clock, which reads 1:17 AM. The brunette lets out a whimper and feels tears spring to her eyes. Sometimes it can get to be too much, she's just so tired, but she just cannot fall asleep for the life of her. There is literally nothing that can help her fall asleep. She's tried music, reading, even exercising before bed! Nothing works! Well, not nothing, she guesses there is something, or well, someone that can help her.

That someone would be Camila Cabello.

Camila and Lauren have been best friends since their first year of high school. Camila had been new, and was getting made fun of by a couple of upperclassmen. Lauren had seen and stood up for her, scaring the older kids away with her intimidating green eyes and medusa-like glare. It's a bit cliché, but ever since then they have been inseparable. It wasn't until their first sleepover that Camila discovered the green eyed girl's sleeping problems.

*Flashback*

It was around December, and the two girls have only been friends for a couple months. They were still learning things about each other, but they had grown close rather quickly. It was past 12 o' clock and Camila, being the child-like teenager that she was, has been out like a light since about 9:30. However, Lauren has just been lying on Camila's bed staring at the ceiling for the past two hours. She just can't fall asleep. Lauren isn't one to talk about her issues, so she hasn't told anyone about this problem. But it's really starting to take a toll on her. Tears spring to her eyes and they slowly trickle down her cheeks. Soon enough, she starts lightly sobbing, right there on Camila's bed in the middle of the night.

Camila starts to move in her sleep and Lauren looks at her alarmed.

"Lolo?" the brunette asks sleepily. "Are you okay?"

"Y-yeah, I'm fine Camz, go back to sleep." Lauren says, trying and failing to keep the tears out of her voice.

Camila knows that her friend is not okay. Up to this point she has never seen the usually tough girl cry, so whatever it is must be bothering her quite a bit. The smaller girl turns to face Lauren and sits up.

"What's wrong, Lo?" she asks as she brings a hand up to stroke her cheek, to comfort the upset girl.

"I c-can't sleep, Camila, and I'm just so fucking tired!" she cries, reaching for her best friend. Camila immediately pulls her into a comforting hug.

"Why can't you sleep? How long has this been going on?"

"This started a couple months ago, and I don't know why, but I have barely been getting four hours a night. I'm so tired Camila please just help me sleep." Camila pulls away from their hug and wipes Lauren's tears away. She can now see the bags under her best friend's beautiful eyes, and she wishes she could have been there all the times Lauren just laid in her bed late at night, tired and miserable.

"Lo, lay down, I'm going to help you go to sleep."

Lauren lays down, still sniffling, and cuddles into Camila. Camila starts humming a random tune that pops into her head, and surprisingly, the green eyed girl is sleeping peacefully within the next five minutes.

"I love you Lolo." Camila whispers and kisses her on her cheek.

*End Flashback*

Lauren grabs her phone off of her nightstand and dials her best friend's phone number. The phone rings a couple times before a sleepy voice comes over the phone.
