Twenty three

Something scared Lauren about being in love with Camila. The way she opened he heart up so easily to Camila. She had to admit. She was whipped and she would do anything and everything in her power to keep Camila alive. Camila is the best thing that's ever happened to Lauren. But the thing that scares her is how dependent she is on the brown eyed beauty. And the fact that Camila could quite literally drop dead at any minute. Taking all Lauren's strength, happiness, and desire with her. That's why she's so scared to be with Camila.

She's never loved anyone as much as she loved Camila. All 90 pounds and all 62 inches of her. With all her hearts capacity. With everything inside her.

Lauren needed to monitor Camila closely. She could not loose Camila. Not again. Not ever. Maybe that's why Lauren was pushy and over protective. Maybe that's why Lauren wanted to marry Camila at some point and spend the rest of her life with the tiny girl.

Maybe that's why Camila needed Lauren so much. She needed someone to constantly monitor her. She needed some to make sure she ate something everyday. She needed someone to be dependent on her.

Lauren couldn't go a day without hearing Camila's infectious laugh. Or staring into her beautiful brown eyes that held so many stories. The thought of never being able to hear or see Camila again scared her.

Lauren heard thunder clap and echo through her bedroom, snapping her out of her thoughts. She immediately flipped over and reached for Camila. She frowned, unsatisfied with the empty space beside her.

Her and Camila still haven't talked since last nights fight. Lauren wasn't even sure Camila came home last night.

Lauren glanced at the time, seeing it was 4 in the morning. She swung her legs over the side of her bed and slipped on a pair of socks. She slipped out into the hallway silently. Everyone was obviously sleeping.

Lauren peeked into Camila's room and found no sign of the small girl. She checked the couches downstairs next. But still no sign of Camila. Lauren slid Ally's door open, she was asleep and she wasn't hiding Camila. Lauren moved on to normanis room next. She slid the door open.

"Dude what are you doing?" Normani squinted her eyes at the light that came from the hallway.

"Looking for Camila. Did she come home?" Lauren was met with Normani's confused look. "We got in a fight, she told me she would find a way home." Normani shook her head and shrugged, laying back down and motioning for Lauren to leave.

The green eyed girl quietly opened Dinah's door next. The Polynesian was on her bed. But no sign of Camila. Until Lauren looked to the floor right beside Dinah's bed.

Camila must've snuck into Dinah's room and made herself a bed on the floor. That used to be something Camila would sneak into Lauren's room and do. Every time it stormed.

Lauren felt a pang of hurt go through her body. She would always go to her. She would sneak in Lauren's room. But she snuck into Dinah's.

Camila absolutely hated the storms. She almost scared Lauren to death the first time she did that to her.

Camila flinched as she saw a lightning bolt emerge from the clouds. She knew the thunder was coming next. And she hated thunder. A loud boom echoed through her empty room in the x-factor house. Camila squeaked and pulled her knees into her chest. She felt like a child being so scared of storms. But she couldn't help it, she couldn't control the storms.
