The RoomMate (Camren)

Chapter 38

"Go sleep in your own fucking bed,"

Lauren stood there for a moment, processing the words that Camila had just spat at her, ignoring her phone that lay face down on the floor.

"What?" Lauren asked, taking one step towards Camila slowly.

"Don't take another fucking step," Camila warned, her eyes widened and her face paler than it was five minutes ago.

"Babe, I... I don't understa-"

"Fuck off Lauren! I don't want to speak to you or see you right now!" Camila shouted, her voice echoing around the apartment.

"Um... okay," Lauren mumbled, turning around defeatedly and picking up her phone before retreating to her bedroom, her head spinning with a thousand possibilities of why Camila had suddenly changed her originally loving tone. As Lauren sunk down into her bed, she began to rethink everything that had happened today, yeah she stormed off at the party and screamed at Camila, but they'd sorted it all out, she didn't understand. Unlocking her phone, Lauren noticed that the phone app was open, displaying a call that lasted two minutes from... Normani?? Why the hell was she calling me? Lauren asked, then realising that Camila must've taken the call.

Shit.

That's probably why she's mad but what the fuck did Normani say to her girlfriend?! Unsure of what to do, Lauren decided to call Normani to find out what venom she had spoke to Camila.

"Hello?" Normani's voice rang out sounding rather hoarse.

"Normani, what the fuck did you say to Camila?" Lauren hissed, her hands shaking with anger.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Normani calmly spoke, irritating Lauren even more.

"Yes you fucking do!" Lauren shouted. "You called me and Camila just so happened to pick up and now she won't fucking talk to me so what the fuck did you say?!" Lauren screamed down the phone, pacing around her room.

"I might've said a little something about how I saw you making out with Dinah when you stormed off but I don't know what possibly could've made her mad," Normani spoke in an annoyingly sweet manner. "Oh, and remember my computer skills? Take two pictures, suddenly it's one and it can easily look like two people are kissing,"

"Why the fuck would you do that?!" Lauren blew up, so much anger running through her veins. For fucks sake Camila kissed Shay and Lauren forgave her because she heard the full story. Lauren grew angrier when she realised that Camila didn't even give her a chance to speak.

"I did it because I could and you don't deserve a girl like Camila, she's way too good for you, she should be with someone like Shay," Normani said.

"Why do you want to ruin my relationship Normani?" Lauren asked, feeling tears brim in her eyes. "We used to be best friends and you know how hard it is for me to commit myself to someone, you know. You've already taken Dinah away from me, so fuck you for that and Camila is the last thing in my life that I want to lose so can you just fuck off and leave me and my girlfriend in peace?" Lauren concluded, the tears finally spilling over. Normani was silent for a brief moment.

"I'm not on your side anymore Lauren. I'm on Shay's," Normani said quietly.

"We're not fucking six Normani!" Lauren shouted.

"I have my reasons for doing this, I'm sorry it has to-"

"IF YOU WERE SORRY YOU WOULDN'T FUCKING DO THIS!" Lauren screamed, her barriers breaking down as she slumped down against the wall. "FUCK YOU NORMANI! FUCK YOU!" Lauren screamed, her throat beginning to feel sore as she hung up the phone and chucked it across the room. Tears continued to fall down Lauren's face for so many reasons. She hated being neglected by Camila and she hated not being able to explain herself. Even more so, she hated what Normani had done, she hated Shay and she wished they didn't go to the party. Her tears were angry and everything around her was blurry and the pounding in her head was almost unbearable. It was as if all the anger and tension was pouring out of her. The tears that fell were hot and filled with fury, it wasn't even because of the way Camila had treated her, however it was partially involved, but it was the fact that she felt betrayed and all the memories over the past few months were coming back and haunting her. Everything from the stress of her old job to the break up with Dinah.
