Far far away

Chapter 11

Camila POV

"Camila open your eyes." a soft raspy voice hummed against her cheeks.

"Hmm" I snuggled more into the warm soft body. It smelt like lavender and mint and it made my head dizzy with a pleasant sensation.

"You need to wake up." the voice gently kissed my cheeks and I felt my blush burning my entire face. I wrapped my arms around the body and snuggled my head into their neck.

"Camz..."

I instantly opened my eyes and met with those green emerald orbs which took my breath away. Her eyes were ethereal and it glowed with love as she moved her lips to speak. I was lying on my bed and Lauren was lying right next to me.

"Camz." "Lolo." we both started to speak.

"Go ahead." she prompted as she ran her fingers through my hair and rested her hand near my cheeks. I closed my eyes and leaned in to her soft palm.

"I missed you." I whispered as I opened my eyes to meet her gaze. She looked at me as if I am a fantasy.
Lauren smiled softly as she stroked my cheeks.

"I missed you too." she said but no sound came out. I narrowed my eyes as no voice came out of her mouth as she kept on speaking.

Everything began to get blurry.

"CAMILA!! CAMILA!! WAKE UP!!" Sofi started shaking me hardly as I gasped. That was a dream? But it felt so real! As if it just happened few minutes ago.

I looked around my room still trying to find an evidence of Lauren's little visit.

"I'm sorry Sof." I shook my head trying to get the dream out of my head.

"You were talking about this girl Lauren in your sleep? Is it the blonde girl you talk to in school?" Sofi tilted her head still wearing her onesie.

"No, she's an old friend" I reached over to check the time on my phone. It was 10am...the flight is at 12pm and I haven't packed yet!

"Sofi we need to pack!" I panicked jumping out of my bed tying my hair up into a bun.

"I already did it Mija" she pointed at her Mickey mouse backpack which she had already kept near bed.

"Good girl! Now go get ready!" I gently tapped her nose as she ran out of the room to get ready.

I just stood there in the middle of the room still confused about the dream. I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair. Suddenly I could smell an overwhelming scent of lavender and mint.

I widened my eyes "It can't be real." I said to myself and tried to find the origin of the smell.

"Nah, I'm just crazy." I hit my forehead and walked towards the bathroom to freshen up.

*Time 10:30*
I walked towards the Hansens house and rang the doorbell.

"DINAH GO OPEN THE DOOR" I heard a man yell from inside. I tapped my fingers against the door frame impatiently.

"DAD IM SLEEPING!"

"WELL NOW YOU'RE AWAKE! OPEN THE DOOR SLEEPING BEAUTY!" replied her dad which made me chuckle.

"HONESTLY IM RUNNING AWAY FROM THIS HOUSE!" I heard footsteps approaching so I straightened up my dress and put on my best smile.

"It's 10:30 somebody better be dying." I met with Dinah's stone expression as she was dressed up in a white tank top with blue shorts. Her hair was poking out here and there and she looked as if I had woken her up from her hibernation.

"Chanch!! ITS 10:30" dinah dragged me inside.

"Serious?! It's 10:30! I wake up at 6 everyday!" I chuckled as I walked up the stairs to her room.

"You don't fall under the human category." she flipped her hair and pouted as we sat on her bed.

"Dinah, it's something serious." I said with a sad look. Dinah looked at me and softened her expression. She scooted closer to me.

"What is it, Mila?" Dinah asked. "I am going to Cuba." I said. "WHAT?" she said shocked. "You are moving back to Cuba?!" She wondered. "No no, just for a short while. It depends." I said vaguely.

She saw my eyes tearing up and gave me a hug. "Depends on what Mija?"
"It's my abuela." I started but couldn't continue. "Hey, it's okay. Let it out." I toke a breath and said everything about her being sick and my mom breaking down.

"Oh Mila, you don't know what will happen. But make the best of it. Make her last moments the best moments." She kissed my forehead and squeezed my hand. "But I can't lose her. She means so much to me Dinah. I won't be able to handle this." I said.

I lay down on her legs while she tangled her fingers through my hair. It felt good. Good to have someone near me. Someone who is there no matter what.

"Thank you" I closed my eyes and hummed as she rubbed my scalp gently. She gave me warm smile and nodded her head as if she understood every single puzzle in my head.

"So tell my about this Lolo of yours." she smirked and I groaned and sat up.

"First of all she's just a childhood friend." Dinah quirked her eyebrows and showed an amused expression.

"And she's gonna remain the same." this made Dinah laugh. "What is so funny?" I folded my arms and gave her a questioning look.

"You don't see it do you?" It was her turn to fold her arms. "Mija... Mija....you are clueless" she laughed with amusement.

"What are you talking about?" I asked her with a slight hint of annoyance.

"You're in love with her!" I couldn't help but laugh.

"Hilarious I'm impressed Dinah" I laughed exaggeratedly.

"Fine don't listen to me! But I SHIP IT!" she frowned and walked towards the bathroom.

"WAIT" I ran towards her and blocked her from walking into the washroom. "What do you mean "ship" us?" I raised my eyebrows.

"You know like a relationship-ship! Like I want you guys to date!" She explained and tried to push me out of her way.

"But I'm straight!!" I whined as she shut the door.

I could hear her laughter clearly even from the bedroom as she laughed at my sentence.

"CAMREN!!" she yelled as I quietly left her room.

"IM NOT GAYY!" I yelled back before closing the door.

I couldn't help but laugh about the whole conversation as I walked back home. I mean me being gay?

I gotta admit Lauren is pretty...umm....well good looking but she's my childhood friend! I could never look at her in such a way.

Ya all she hella gay, right?
