Camila
Camila awoke to screaming.
Throat ripping, headache inducing, nightmarish screaming.
For a second Camila was confused. Who could be scream- Lauren.
Camila jumped out of her bed, her heart hammering and ran to Lauren's room. Camila wretched the door open. Her eyes widened at the sight of Lauren squirming on the bed, her face contorted into a painful expression.
"Lauren! Lauren wake up!" Camila yelled, shaking Lauren as hard as she could.
Lauren's eyes snapped open and her hand aimed straight for Camila's face, throwing her off the bed. Lauren wildly pulled out a knife from under her bed and brandished it at Camilla before she realized that it was Camila and her expression quickly changed to apologetic.
"Oh my god Camila I'm so so so sorry I didn't mean to and I-" Lauren stuttered, shaking.
Camila's eyes had welled up in tears but they were dissipating as Lauren continued to apologize. While she was scared of what just happened, Camila knew that the way Lauren lived before she met Camila was the reason she was like this.
"It's okay." Camila calmly interrupted another apology. Lauren stopped mid- rant, and stared at Camila.
"It's not. I almost killed you Camz." Lauren mumbled, shaking her head.
"But you didn't." Camila said getting off the floor.
She made her towards Lauren. Lauren flinched when Camila put her hand on her shoulder, almost breaking Camila's heart.
"But I could've."
"I know you didn't mean to." Lauren bit her lip and nodded at Camila, still shaking.
"Lauren," Camila hesitated. "What were you dreaming about?"
"Nothing." Lauren mumbled, not meeting Camila's eyes. Camila frowned at her.
"I heard you screaming Laur."
"It's nothing, I don't wanna talk about it." Lauren said defensively. Camila sighed.
"Okay if you're sure then I'm going back to sleep." Camila mumbled, rising from the bed.
"Wait!" Lauren said suddenly, grabbing Camila's wrist.
"Can you- will you please-" Lauren mumbled, blushing a bright red.
Stay with me?
Camila nodded, sinking back down to the bed. She wouldn't admit it but she was more excited at the prospect than weirded out.
"I'm not sure how we'll fit." Lauren mumbled, still blushing. Camila let out a giggle.
"Okay I can sleep on this side and you on the other?" Camila offered, already laying down on the right side of the bed.
Lauren stared at Camila with wide eyes before quickly laying down on the bed herself making Camila laugh.
