BREATHE

Part 3

" Why are you making this worst? can not you see? I am lost without you. Do not you remember the way you make me feel when I am by your side, you are the best thing that happened to me, and you are ruining everything. Your mother hates me. She can not hate you because you are your princess but I, I am not more that the stupid who fall in love of her daughter. I am not a good influence for you, and you know it. This conversation is in vain. when I cut this phone call I will lose you forever. and you are going back to your perfect life "

-Lauren-

I was happy for the first time in my life, I had had everything I wanted but nothing made me feel the same as Camila does. She put a smile in my face every day. She is so sweet with me. I could not complain about my life, my parents loved me, I had a lot of material things, but I never had a person worried about me, or interested in the thing I like to do. I was surrounded by a lot of people but none of them shows me real love. I was used to feeling alone.

She turned up in my life when I was thinking that life was not worth it and she changed everything. I started to see life in a different way, a life full of colours, I thought I was happy but like all happiness in my life, it vanished.

I realized these days that I can not talk about happiness when she taught me the way her life is every day and how she suffer, and I am just a misunderstood little girl. My life is not difficult as hers.

I had promised Camila to pick up her from her house that night. We were going to go to a bar on the outskirts of the city, near the beach, but the plan did not came well. I borrowed my dad's car and I was getting closer to her house when I heard the screams. Her mother was outside the house yelling at her. I parked the car in front of the house but I did not get out of it. Then I saw her, crying and yelling back to her mom. I only could heard a phrase. Camila said: I love her! She is more important than you are to me! please leave me alone! and I saw her running from that place, and getting into the woods. I tried to follow her but I lost her in the fog of the night.

That was the last time I was able to see her. After that all was phone calls and letters.

-Camila-

I was waiting for Lauren that night. She was supposed to be here half an hour ago, but she texted me that she was a little bit late. My biggest mistake was to be there at that moment, I had not realized what was going to happen next.

My dad went down stairs almost running and shouting something, then my mom started to shout at him loudly, and after that everything was chaos. I jumped from the sofa and put my body in the middle of them to stop the fight but did not work, they just pushed me out and continued yelling to each other, my dad accuse my mom of cheating him and my mom was trying to explain herself. I just ran to my room to call Lauren but she did not answer her phone. When I got out of my room my mom was there and she started to yelling at me as she always do, but this time I answer back, I was tired to pretend that my family was perfect and act like nothing could hurt me, because this kind of shit was destroying me in many different ways that no one could imagine. I lost all the good of my childhood for this. They were never there for me and I was like always the reason for their behaviour. That was the last straw, I could not take it any more.

My mom was still yelling at me but, I did not care, I just grabbed my stuff, put them in a rucksack and ran away as faster as I could. Leaving all my life behind.
