"Can you stay while I shower?"

Camila's cheeks instantly reddened.

"No, doofus," Lauren quietly giggled, "Not as in shower with me, just sit on the toilet in case I fall again or feel dizzy," The green eyed girl explained.

"Oh, yeah, sure," Camila replied, running a hand through her hair after realising how stupid she was being. Lauren then asked Camila to turn around while she got fully undressed, who turned back around to sit on the toilet when she heard the water running but caught a small glimpse of the older girls bottom, making Camila smirk.

The brown eyed girl wasn't sure if she should start a conversation with the naked girl or just sit there waiting, regretting the fact that she didn't have her phone with her.

Take my hand,
Take a breath,
Pull me close,
And take one step,

Camila froze at the sound of Lauren's raspy voice singing out from behind the shower curtain, then the younger girl began to smile realising that Lauren was singing High School Musical.

Keep your eyes,
Locked on mine,
And let the music,
Be your guide,"

Camila couldn't help but join in with the next verse, something about Lauren's voice and the fact that it was High School Musical made it unresistable for her to stay quiet.

Won't you promise me?

"Now won't you promise me, that you'll never forget," Camila joined in, making the green eyed girl stop at the new voice. Lauren then stayed quiet after Camila's input, making the brown eyed girl frown slightly.

"Carry ooonnnn," Camila whined, "I like your voiiicceee," She dragged at the last word and heard Lauren sigh.

We'll keep dancing
Wherever we go next

"It's like catching lightening,
The chances of finding,
Someone like you.
It's one in a million,
The chances of feeling,
The way..."

The two Cuban girls voices merged beautifully as they sung the chorus but the girl standing under the water trail abruptly stopped singing as her legs suddenly lost all strength as she fell with a crash onto the cold surface beneath her.

"LAUREN!" Camila jumped up, shutting the shower off and wrapping a towel around the girl who layed shaking, trying not to stare at her body. Camila tried to lift the weak girl up out of the bath tub but the older girl had no strength whatsoever so could not support her own weight. Realising the inability that Lauren was portraying, Camila lay her back down in the bath tub and grabbed the t shirt, slipping it over the dark haired girls head and pulling it down over her body. Throughout this, Lauren was coughing violently, getting annoyed at herself for being so helpless.

"Can you get up now?" Camila asked, noticing that the coughing had seized.

Slowly nodding, the green eyed girl rested her hands on the side of the bath, pushing herself upwards while Camila supported her and swiftly tied the towel around the Lauren's waist. Eventually, Lauren had a pair of sweat pants on and was tucked up with a blanket on the sofa, eyes glued to the television screen. Camila came over holding two cups of hot chocolate and a bag of marshmallows in between her teeth. Settling everything down, Camila sat down next to the porcelain skinned girl, running her fingers through the dark hair.

"Hey, pretty girl. You look a bit better," Camila smiled, admiring the view of the green eyed girl in front of her.

"Yeah a bit, I guess the shower helped a bit but my head is hurting," Lauren admitted, weakly smiling at the smaller girl, enjoying the feeling of Camila's fingers run through her hair.
