Seventeen

Lauren woke up to her shoulders being shaken frantically. She immediately sat up almost smacking her head off of Camila's.

"What?" Lauren asked in a stressed tone while rubbing her eyes.

"We slept through the alarms. All of them. Now get up or else we'll miss our flight!" Camila was out of breath from running around and pulling her stuff together.

"Okay camz chill, just take it easy alright? Don't stress yourself out." Lauren soothed while grabbing Camila's wrist. The small girl flinched away and continued throwing things in her large blue suitcase.

"No Lauren. We need to leave. Now. I can't afford to have fans hate on me because I showed up late to the show tonight okay? I-I don't want to deal with it." Camila shook her hands out and took a deep breath.

"Camz it's going to be fi-"

"Lauren. Shut up and pack your shit. We need to go." Camila zipped her suitcase and walked over to the bed and pulled Lauren off the bed.

"Okay. Okay." Lauren stood up and started to pack her suitcase.
Camila was a perfectionist, everything had to be perfect to her. She had to be on time or she didn't go at all, even the way she wrote had to look perfect to her or she would erase paragraphs of writing just because she didn't like her handwriting. She needed to get on the plane on time and it was stressing her out.

"We should have left yesterday. We should have went on the plane at the same time as the other girls." Camila ran her stand through her hair.

"Okay, lets go." Lauren called out 5 minutes later. Camila nodded her head and pulled her suitcase behind her and out to the car. Camila popped the trunk open and struggled to lift the suitcase into the back.

"I got it camz." Lauren smiled and pulled the heavy suitcase out of Camila's arms. The younger girl opened her mouth to stop Lauren but decided against it and got in the passenger seat of the silver car.
Lauren got in the drivers seat and fastened her seat belt before taking off down the road.
Camila had a tight grip on the center console and the bottom of her seat. The speed her girlfriend was going made her feel lightheaded but she didn't care as long as they got on the plane.
Lauren whipped into a parking spot and shut the car off. She took the key out of the ignition and tucked it under the seat so no one could see it. Her parents were going to drive down later that night and pick up the car.

The big building overwhelmed Camila but she kept a grip on Lauren's hand and followed her so she wouldn't get lost.

"Okay we need to go through security and then we need to book it to the gate okay? This needs to be fast." Lauren took a deep breathe and ran her hand through her hair. Camila nodded and bit her lip.

Camila took her shoes off and threw them in a bin, Lauren copying her actions.

They got through security and collected their at the end. It went faster then Camila expected.

"Okay. Ready?" Lauren asked while snapping her bracelet back on her wrist. Camila nodded as they made their way towards the gate.
Lauren started running towards the gate and tugged Camila along behind her. The small girl felt a wave of dizziness hit her and she pulled Lauren's hand back. The green eyed girl didn't react and kept her pace up.

"Lauren!" Camila yelled trying to hold herself together.

Lauren stoped dead in her tracks and whipped her head around.

"Camz what's wrong?" Lauren guided Camila to a chair.

"I just need a minute. I don't want to miss the flight. Just a little lightheadedness." Camila tried not to worry Lauren.
