Unbroken (Demi Lovato Fan fiction) ft. Camren, Dinally, and Normani

I wanna hold you close.. Be my nightingale

Lauren POV

I woke up at an odd hour from Camila shaking. I pulled her closer to me and her trembling stopped momentarily before she started to cry. "Camila... Baby wake up," I said shaking her, not too hard though, not wanting to frighten the small girl anymore.

She curled into a ball in my side before finally waking up. She quickly wrapped her arms around my neck and buried her face in my neck. I sat up with her in my arms. "Baby... It's okay. It was just a dream. It isn't real." I said, trying to comfort her.

Her sobs continued to rack her body as if she couldn't stop her tears. I wrapped her up in my arms, doing the best I could to make her feel safe. "Shhh... I'm here... It's okay." I whispered, giving her a gentle kiss on the cheek. Her sobs turned into gentle little cries and she held onto me like her life depended on it.

*time skip*

I'd been up since 3 am with Camila clinging to me. I'd tried to get her back to sleep but nothing was working. In fact, trying to help her sleep had sent her into another fit of distraught tears. "Baby... Just close your eyes. I'll be here when you wake up, I promise. I don't have anywhere to go today." I told her honestly.

She'd calmed back down, but she refused to go to sleep. I laid back down with her still intertwined with me. I slowly ran my fingers through her hair as she sniffled. Hopefully, she'd fall asleep before 3 am tomorrow, it was already 10 in the morning and I was surprised Demi wasn't awake.

Then again, a lot of the time she'll not bother coming in here in case Camz is sleeping well for a change, which makes sense. My phone went off, it was Demi texting me.

Dems🍒: Hey Laur💕 Good morning, how'd you sleep & how is Camila?

Laur💓: Hi Dems, and I slept okay for the most part; I've been up with Camila since 3 am though. 😞 I'm worried I won't get her back to sleep at all today, not even a nap. What about Kenzie?

Dems🍒: Why are we texting exactly? 😂 I can come to your room Laur (If that's okay) Also, Dinah, Ally, and Normani are sleeping downstairs.

Laur💓: Sure thing Dems & okay.

A couple of moments later Demi came into my room with Kenzie in her arms, still sleeping. "To answer your question.." She said, shutting the door behind her and making her way over to Camz and me. "She had a nightmare and she got really scared and she had um... An accident, but she's okay." She kissed Kenzie's forehead.

Camila tensed up in my arms. I knew why, she'd had accidents before because she was so scared and she was embarrassed by it. I'd told her that it was okay, but she was still really shaken up by it. No one else knew about it but me, not even Demi, I'm surprised she didn't know by now honestly. I remembered the first time it happened.

*Flashback to a few years ago (sometime in 2012)*

I heard Camila crying, so I instinctively sat up worried. We'd moved in together with the rest of the girls not too long ago, we all had our own rooms, but Camila couldn't sleep unless she was in mine, I was perfectly okay with it. Her nightmares and insomnia concerned me though, she was always so exhausted. "Camila..? Baby are you okay?" I heard a thud and quickly turned on the lamp. Camila had fallen onto the hardwood floor, I couldn't tell if she was awake or not, but I quickly rushed over to her, scooping her up in my arms. She was awake. She hid her face in her hands and sobbed. "Camila baby... What's wrong? Did you have another nightmare?" She nodded and rested her head on my shoulder. "It's going to be alright? Did anything else happen?" I had to ask, she was more shaken up than usual. Her crying picked up and I went to set her on the bed, but she clung to me. "Hey..." I rubbed her back before realizing she was wet. That must be why she was so distraught, she'd had an accident. I set her down in front of me and looked into her eyes. "Camila... It's okay. Don't worry, we'll just get you all cleaned up and wash the sheets. It'll be alright." I said kissing her forehead. Her sobs became uncontrollable as she fell into my arms, wrapping her arms around me and burying her face in my side. I ran my fingers through her hair gently, "shhhh..."
