The Back Up Plan (Camren)

Chapter 10

Camila laid in the guest bed in a tank top and short, shorts. Buddy was at the end of the bed and Camila didn't even bother to put blankets over herself. She had tears streaming down her face. I always ruin a good thing when I have it.

It was now morning and Lauren was sleeping on the couch, she didn't even want to go in her room. She was angry last night. As soon as the sun rose, Camila took her bags and her dog and headed for her car. She was in the car and she started it. When she tried to drive, the whole front bender was off so you heard it scrape across the gravel. This made Lauren stir because she heard it through her living room window.

Lauren got up and looked outside to see Camila leaving slowly and she ran outside in her pajama pants and a t-shirt, with no shoes.

"hey! where are you going?" Lauren shouted running towards Camila's car not realizing that Camila could hear her perfectly fine, her windows were down.

Camila looked at her and then stopped her car once Lauren approached on the passenger side window.

"I just thought this would be easier."

"to what? disappear at the crack of dawn? don't I get a say?" Lauren looked at her.

Camila rolled her eyes and shrugged. "You said everything there was to say last night"

"No, I didn't"

"Oh, you left out the part that you had a girlfriend. that was pretty convenient" Camila scoffed.

"I don't have a girlfriend" Lauren says in a shocked confused voice sounding more like a question.

"That girl... from the Farmers market." Camila said with a duh voice.

"That's not my girlfriend" Lauren sighed. "She was but that was a few years ago"

Camila just stared at her questioningly.

"Ariana's in my class. We study together"

"Study what?" Camila said back quickly.

"I'm a student. I'm still in school, I go at night." Lauren says ashamed.

"why didn't you wanna tell me?" Camila says softly.

"Because it's embarrassing... your this incredibly accomplished woman and I didn't even finish college" Lauren looked down. "I mean I have this great life but I'm barley passing economics you know?"

Camila looked down and sighed. She finally looked back up and put the car in drive.

"Where are you going?" Lauren gets upset.

"Look, let's not drag this out okay?" Camila looks at Lauren. "I lied to you, you lied to me, we both have other plans and being together Is just messing everything up." A tear slips her eyes. "We should just go our separate ways".

"Camz.."

Camila just drove off. Her car broke down in the middle of one of the roads and it got towed.

It was the next day and Camila got home by Dinah and Camila no longer has her car. It's towed and she can't afford the cost right now. She's been crying all night missing Lauren and hating herself.

Camila was gonna walk around today so she took the same train she took everyday.

Getting off at the same stop that she got off of when Lauren followed her, she was walking across that street. She looked back remembering when Lauren told her to flip the penny. A tear brimmed her eyes but she just shook it off.
