9. Everybody likes Carmen

*New message (1) from: Lauren*

Lauren: You fucking lied to me. I don't want to talk to you, ever again. And if you send me one more text, I'll tell everything to Lucy. So stop it. Leave me the fuck alone.

------Lauren POV------

I've been able to ignore Y/N for almost the whole weekend, but I knew I wouldn't keep doing it for a long time since I would see her in my english's class Monday morning. I knew that she wouldn't just let me go without trying to talk to me. She has been texting me for two days straight but I was so mad at her... after the last text, I decided to not answer again. I didn't want to say something that could her, even if she deserved it somehow. She kept telling me she wanted to explain but I was not ready to hear it. I was so upset, she has been lying to me while she was on a date with Lucy. Actually, she was lying to both of us, I don't care if she hurt me, I'm used to it, but I usually don't accept people hurting, disrespecting my best friend is the entire world. Sometimes, I want to tell everything to Lucy. I want to tell her the truth and I want to force Y/N to take a decision between us two, but I know it would end our friendship, I would lose Lucy and probably Y/N too. I wanted revenge, a little one. I wanted Y/N to realize how she screwed what we had, so I did the first thing that went through my head: I called Camila. I knew that if she cared even just a little bit about me, seeing me with my ex-girlfriend would affect her. I didn't enjoy the idea of using Camila, but I wouldn't go too far, maybe just try to talk to her, then maybe hang out. I haven't been properly talking to Camila since we broke up six months ago. I mean, I've been dating her for three years and she cheated on me, so it was pretty hard for me to talk to her like nothing happened. When I say "she cheated on me", I don't have real proofs, to be honest, just rumors but some reasons,  I believed them. I mean, she was pretty close to that guy, Austin... so when someone I trusted, told me they saw Camila kissing him, I believe it. So, I ended it. I've never seen somebody crying like Camila did the night I told her I was leaving. She kept screaming she didn't do it, but I left anyways. She kept texting and calling me non-stop the first month, sometimes she cried in front of my front door all night, but when she understood that I wouldn't come back, she started to text less and less, she wasn't sleeping in front of my door anymore and she wasn't calling. One day, she stopped it all. The last text that she sent me was "I get it, I've lost you forever. But you have to know that I will always be there for you." After that, she stopped everything. It was hard to resist it at first, but then I realize I deserved so much more that someone "maybe" cheating on me...But here I am again, in an even worst situation (if that was possible), I was seeing a girl who openly cheat on me. I mean, I know we're not dating but...still. Anyways, as I was saying, I called Camila. At first, she was obviously surprised.

"Lauren? Is everything okay?"

Of course, she thought I was calling her because I needed something from her.

"Hey, Camila... What's up? Hum... I think it's time for us to talk... I'm ready."

She didn't answer the same second, I thought she has hanged up, but then she finally spoke.

"Are you? Six month later?" 

"Yeah... do you want it?"

"Do I want... what?"

"I don't know...hang out? Tonight? So we can talk?"

"Is that really what you want, Lauren?" 

I thought twice before giving my final answer.

"Yes."

So we decided to see each other the next day. I was kind of happy to finally get to talk to her. In a way, it was not just an excuse to make Y/N jealous. It was the perfect occasion to fix things with Camila. She wanted to go to that ice cream shop 100 meters away from my house, we used to go there a lot when we were together, and sometimes, we hanged out there until 3 a.m. without getting bored of each other.
