Secrets (A Camren Fanfic)

Epilogue

Camila POV

One Year Later

I kneel down at the tombstone. It's been a long time since I have been back in my home town and visited. I lay the roses down and sigh.

"It's been a while. I miss you. I know I haven't visited lately, I have so much to catch you up on. I do not even know where to begin. I graduated last year. Miraculously I was in the top 10 of my class." I start.

"I got signed to Demi's record label. My song Latch had such amazing success you would have been so proud. It debuted #2 on Billboard Top 100 and I already won 3 awards. I wish you could have been there to see it, I mention you in every acceptance speech though. I'm on tour with Demi it is so incredible. I get to perform in front of so many people and I get to change so many lives just by being me." I continue with a sad smile.

"Every day is hard but it's slowly getting better, I have great fans that support me through anything but I still wish that I could have shared this with you, I know you would have loved watching me perform, you always have. I almost forgot to tell you, dad adopted Tori. I wish I could see her more often but with touring it is so hard. I know that you are probably worried for her but he's changed. He's actually a father now and he is sober. Has been for a little over a year actually."

"I miss you. I know that I said it before but words can not even begin to describe how much I miss you. I wish you were in my life for longer but I know that you are always going to be with me. Some days it is so hard to get up in the morning without you." I wipe a tear away.

"Everyone is growing up so fast. Normani and Dinah are both in college. They are still together, they are the cutest couple you will ever see honestly. Mrs. Hernandez is pregnant! She is going to make an amazing mother, the way that she treats the kids at the foster care speaks volumes. I keep in touch with all of them, mostly Dinah. I make sure to text her every day. "

"Dinah and I both have really hectic lives but we still find time each day to speak. We bicker a lot now though but that's what sisters are for right? I always pitied myself you know? I thought I had the worst life imaginable. I never felt like I had a purpose in life before but things are so different now." I add.

"I get to help so many people with my platform. So many people going through similar situations that I went through for so long. It gives me a purpose. It gives me a reason to get up in the morning. Well, them and that girl over there." I smile and point to my girlfriend.

"Mom I am going to marry that girl one day. It's kind of hard sometimes because she's in college studying to be an art teacher for kids and I am touring but we can get through it. I mean, we got through her almost dying, I am sure we can get through some distance. Not to mention when you love someone as much as I love her, distance can not change anything." I smile at Lauren who is sitting in the car waiting for me.

"She gets to come on tour with me this summer. I am so excited for that. I know that you will be watching over me. Just do me a favor and look over all my friends too okay? I miss you Mami. I love you." I sniffle and get up walking to the car.

"Hey beautiful." I kiss Lauren as soon as I enter the car.

"Hey there gorgeous. How are you feeling?" She questions and I take a deep breath.

"For the first time in my life I feel 100% happy and free." I answer honestly.

"I love you Lern Jergi." I smile.

"I love you back Camz Jergi." Lauren smiles back. Her adding the last name I gave her makes my butterflies go crazy. I have been with her for over a year and she still gives me butterflies with every touch, kiss and smile.

She drives to an old diner that I used to go to with Dinah for my birthday every year. Dinah and I have a ritual, each year on my birthday we must go to the same diner and have lunch and not even fame can change that. The only difference now is that I am spending it with my whole family. Lauren, Dinah, Mrs. Hernandez, Demi, Tori, my father, The Jauregui's, The Hansen's and The Hamiltons. No matter what, they are the only family I need.

I learned that everyone goes through things, some worst than others but it is not about the struggles in life you face, it's about how you handle them.

Me? I never handled them well. I was always the kind to give up and walk away but if I did that I would not be where I am or who I am. Even though sometimes giving up seems like the only choice I promise if you just keep fighting it will get better.

Maybe you will get as lucky as I got and find you someone like Lauren. Every one deserves to find someone like Lauren, just make sure they do not drive drunk, crash into a tree and scare the living hell out of you. Too soon?

In all seriousness, no matter what sexuality, race, ethnicity, weight, religion or gender you are. You do have a life worth living. Never stop fighting. Never let anyone get the best of you.

Keep being who you are and doing what you do. One day you will find someone to love you and all your secrets.
