Teacher (camren)

XXXVI

"I'm waiting for an answer." Tori says, standing above me with her hands on her hips. I'm still laying in the middle of the kitchen with a joint in my hand.

"An answer for what?" Lauren asks, walking up behind Tori while sliding her shoes on before looking up and then staring at all three of us. "Shit." She mumbles under her breath, staring at me.

"So are any of you going to tell me what's going on?"

"Um..." I mumble, standing up and then running my fingers through my hair, while still having a half smoked joint in my left hand. Lauren glares at me and then mouths at me to put it out.

"Camila is meeting my sister here, and then I'm driving them somewhere." Normani says, praise Jesus for Normani. I stub the joint out while Tori just stands there staring between all three of us, still looking slightly confused as to why I'm in Lauren's apartment.

"Okay now how about you tell me the truth."

"That is the truth." Lauren says, letting out a sigh and then attempting to pull Tori out of the kitchen. I glance at Normani as she just jumps off the worktop, walking towards me and then placing her hand on my shoulder.

"You know you're going to have to tell her right?"

"Yeah I know."

"Just be there for Lauren because she's going to need you, a lot." She says, smiling at me before we're interrupted by Lauren and Tori yelling at each other.

"No we're not going anywhere until I find out what's actually happening!" Tori yells, pulling her hand out of Lauren's grip and then glaring at her, fuck. Normani walks out of the kitchen, sending Lauren a reassuring smile before walking towards her room.

"Fucking hell." Lauren mumbles under her breath as Tori sits on the sofa and then stares at Lauren as she makes her way into the kitchen. She walks towards me, she's about to cry so I wrap my arms around her, pulling her close to me and not even caring if Tori is looking at us. "We're going to have to tell her."

"I know, do you think she'll tell anyone?"

"I-I don't know, she might." Lauren mumbles against me as I run my fingers through her hair.

"I suppose we should get this over with then." I say, placing my hands on her shoulders and pushing her back slightly before pressing my lips against hers, she smiles against my lips as her arms wrap around my neck. I pull away and then rest my forehead against hers, staring into her eyes. "I had to give you one last kiss in case I can never do it again."

"I love you." She whispers, grazing her lips against mine and then pulling away from me, wiping the tears off her face and then walking out of the kitchen.

"I love you too." I reply before taking a deep breath before following her and keeping my eyes on the ground as I walk towards the sofa that Lauren is sat on.

"So are you going to tell me or what Lauren?"

"Just shut up for a minute okay, I'm fucking panicking and I don't know what to do so please just shut the fuck up." Lauren says, staring up at Tori, she then glances towards me and I slowly place my hand in hers because she looks lost and I know that she needs me to be here for her. Although all I want to do right now is to run away because I can't deal with this right now.

"Just tell me, because it's pretty obvious that something is going on between you two."

"Fine, I'll fucking tell you!" Lauren screams standing up and then attempting to walk across the room, I grab he hand and pull her back to the sofa because the last things we need happening is Lauren beating the shit out of another teacher. "I'm in a relationship with Camila."
