The Perks of Being a Lesbian (Camren)

Chapter 22

Lauren groggily made her way out of the hospital bathroom, having changed back into her clothes to the best of her ability. It was difficult since her wrist was sore and her new cast was a little thicker than her old one, hence it was also heavier and harder to maneuver. It was strange to realize just how immobilized a person can become just from injuring their wrist. It wasn't even her dominant wrist either, but that didn't seem to matter.

Natasha had been persistent in helping her, but Lauren knew that she couldn't always rely on that and would probably benefit from the practice. Natasha's presence itself was something completely unplanned.

Unbeknownst to Lauren at the time, Clara left during her surgery with no explanation to the hospital. And so when Lauren woke up, she had to wait in her recovery area until they could contact someone to pick her up and sign her out.

To her knowledge, there had been some sort of goose chase to find Clara and also a race for Natasha to get there and show legal presence of consent to make that kind of a medical decision for Lauren since that sort of thing was pretty serious. In fact, Lauren was pretty sure that if her father was unable to come, her mother was missing, and Natasha was unavailable, the hospital could get social services involved.

So yeah, not only was she out of it from the anaesthetic, but she was also pissed. No one had been able to tell her where her mom was or why she'd left, but Natasha was apparently in the process of figuring that out while also going through the lengthy discharge paperwork.

The green-eyed girl slowly made her way over to her hospital bed, sitting on the edge and reaching for her phone which was sitting on the chair next to it. She only had a few notifications, most of them from apps, but there were three texts from Camila.

C: hey I hope your surgery went or is going well. I miss you btw

C: oh and i found out Dinah wasn't lying about being sick. it's the second day in a row. why are all of my people sick or injured???

C: also I just wanted you to know you didn't miss anything special at lunch. that used to always piss me off. Ok I'm done bothering you now ❤

Lauren was finally able to smile. Camila always knew how to make her feel better even when she wasn't even trying.

L: thanks Camz. i miss you too

L: oh and you should come over after school

She was about to stuff her phone into her pocket, but was stopped when her it buzzed.

C: yay! Can Ally come too? She baked you brownies

Lauren almost choked on air when she read that.

L: OMFG WHAT KIND OF BROWNIES???

C: idk but she said they're your favorites?

Lauren took a moment right then and there to do a tiny little happy dance. See, Ally had many specialties when it came to baked goods, however, she was an expert at brownies, specifically, sweet potato brownies.

L: ok my day just got so much better. tell her, word for word, "Bitch you can fucking live at my house if you want. JUST GIVE ME THE BROWNIES!"

L: she will understand completely. Also if you see her give her a hug for me

C:...ok wow. I will deliver your message and your hug you animal

C: do I get a hug too tho?

L: bring me the brownies and Allycat (maybe the bonus of Mani if you can manage) and I will give you more than just a hug ;)
