Because Of You

Chapter 12

Lauren and Camila were still laying down together. Lauren needed to tell Camila she was leaving.

"Camz." Lauren softly said since Camila was still asleep. Camila opened her eyes instantly smiling. "I need to tell you something." Lauren started. Camila nodded noting knowing what was going on.

"My dad is making me move." Lauren softly said. Camila didn't know how to feel. She didn't want her to go. She loves Lauren. "What?" Camila asked trying to get Lauren to look at her.

"I'm moving." Lauren said looking down. "Where are we going then?" Camila asked smiling. She heard Lauren chucked before it disappeared.

"You're not coming with me." Lauren said looking up. "I mean I could just get in your suitcase and spend my life with you." Camila said seeing Lauren smile.

"I wish that could happen too."

"Then let it, go get a suitcase." Camila said about to get up and get a suitcase but Lauren stopped her. "Stop making jokes. This is hard for me." Lauren told Camila.

Camila stopped and sat back down. "Sorry."

"When are you leaving?" Camila asked never thinking she would say that to Lauren.

"In a few days." Lauren told Camila.

Camila noticed how hard this was for Lauren. She didn't want to act sad in front of Lauren. She needed to push her feelings aside for right now and focus on Lauren and making sure she's okay.

"Well this might be a good thing." Camila lied. Lauren looked at her and shook her head.

"I have to be with people who forget my name. That's supposed to be a good thing?" Lauren asked getting annoyed.

"Maybe you could have a stepmom and step daughter bond with Lindsey." Camila said seeing Lauren stare at her likes she was joking.

"I don't want to go, Camila." Lauren groaned. "I know, I don't want you to go either but it's not like we could just runaway." Camila said resting her head in her hands.

"What?" Lauren asked smiling. "What? I said its not like we could just runaway." Camila repeated herself seeing Lauren smile.

"Let's runaway together." Lauren said making Camila look at her likes she's crazy.

"What about school? And my dad I need to see him? Where would we go?" Camila asked with even more question racing through her head.

"We could drop out, and you could still see your dad and we could go anywhere. Let's just pack our things and leave." Lauren said getting excited.

"Lauren, you know I'll do anything for you, but you're talking crazy right now. We can't drop out of school and leave." Camila told Lauren.

Lauren frowned, "I thought you would do anything for me?"

"I would, but this is crazy, I can't just leave my life here to go along with your crazy idea." Camila said seeing Lauren frustrated.

"But I left mine to move in with you." Lauren told Camila.

"We live next door to each other you can go back anytime." Camila told her pointing to the window where her house was next to hers.

Lauren looked pissed at Camila. "I shouldn't have ever moved in with you." Lauren told her getting off their bed.

Camila groaned following Lauren as she was getting her things from the dresser.

"What are you doing?" Camila asked. Lauren turned to her as she had all her clothes in her arms.
