Who Should I Choose? (Camren/You)

Chapter 20

    "No way in hell is this happening!" Camila argues at the plan that's been formed by the family,
    "C, it's our best shot," Zayn calmly tells her,
    "It's way too risky! I'm not willing to put Sel through that. There's way too much that could go wrong!" Your girlfriend counters back. You grab her hand and gently begin to massage, hoping to ease her a bit,
    "It'll be fine, CC," Selena easily says, "I'll go in, tell her I need to borrow her lap top for work, when she's not looking, I'll put in a flash drive, I'll find some of her creepy stalker shit, save it to the flash drive, and bam! Bye bye Ari," everybody nods their heads in agreement, meanwhile Camila looks as if that's the most absurd thing she's ever heard of in her life,
    "And what if she sees you doing it? What if she's suspicious of you to begin with? What if—"
    "Girl, you gotta chill. You're giving me a damn headache," Dinah says while rubbing her temple, trying to get her best friend to quit with the what if's. Camila takes a deep breathe before speaking again,
    "Sorry, I'm just really worried,"
    "We all are Sweetheart, but chances are everything's going to be fine. If things do happen to turn sour, Sel will let us know through the wire and we'll rush in there," Kyle says,
    "I just don't like that someone has to do this for me, ya know? I feel like I should be the one doing the hard work, it's my problem," Camila honestly says,
    "You've had to deal with everything by yourself for your entire life pretty much. Let us help, just this once," Lauren says while looking her step-sister in the eye. Camila nods her head,
    "So when is this happening?" Normani questions,
    "CC's supposed to meet her at the airport at 8, so I say 5 would be good," Anna says,
    "That's only an hour away," Ally points out, "maybe we should wait a little more?"
    "Fuck no!" Selena says, "I want to get that bitch behind bars as soon as possible," everybody laughs at her statement,
    "Alright then. Sel, Ky, Lo, Zayn, and Y/N/N, prepare yourselves. You leave in 40 minutes," Anna says with a nod before standing up and walking towards the kitchen, ending the meeting. Everybody stays seated for a few more seconds, letting the new information soak in, before standing up and walking to their desired destinations. As for you, you're now standing in the living room, along with Camila, Lauren, and Dinah,
    "I still don't understand why you're going and I'm not," Camila says with a worried frown while facing you,
    "Because you need to stay as far away from her as possible and I need to be there just in case of an emergency," you respond back,
    "Why're you an emergency option? I'd prefer you be here with me. Plus, Dinah's stronger than you," you feign offense at her statement,
    "Hey! Have you seen these guns?" You flex your arm and jokingly say, "that's right Babe! I work out," although you feel like a complete idiot for doing that, you see your girlfriend crack a small smile for what feels like the first time in days, making it worth it, "Quit worrying about it. Everything's going to be fine, Love," you say while giving her a comforting hug,
    "You don't know that..."
    "Well I can assure you of one thing... If I'm going down, she's going down with me," you feel your girlfriend tense in your arms before removing herself from them completely. You're confused by her actions, especially when she stands in front of you with her arms crossed and a scowl on her face,
    "Why the hell would you say that?" You don't understand why she asked that. Then you recall what you had previously said, finally realizing your fuck up,
    "Oh shit. Babe, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that," you attempt to grab her hand but she quickly moves it away from you,
    "How did you mean it then, Y/N?"
    Oh fuck, she's pissed,
    "I—uhh—I just meant that like... Nothing, I meant nothing," you hear Dinah, who's standing close by with Lauren, snicker at your failure to come up with a descent explanation. What you really mean is if Ariana tries to hurt you, or anyone for that matter, you'll make sure that she feels even more pain, but you can't really tell that to your girlfriend, who happens to be extremely on edge and sensitive as of right now. Camila steps towards you while grabbing your arm and pulling you closer to her while looking you dead in the eyes in one, rather surprisingly, swift motion,
    "You bet your ass that you meant nothing. You're not allowed to 'go down' Y/N Y/M/N (your/middle/name). Stay out of danger at all costs, got it?" You quickly nod your head before diverting your eyes from your girlfriend's intimidating glare. She lets go of your arm and begins to walk towards the stairs while cussing in Spanish, something she only does when she's very angry. Even though you don't like to admit it, when Camila starts cursing in her native language when she's livid, it scares the shit out of you. By now, you know that the best option is to give her a few minutes by herself, then send Dinah to help her calm down, then eventually apologize to her for whatever stupid thing you did. When you hear the door slam, you finally unfreeze. You look to your right to find Lauren with a shocked expression and wide eyes, meanwhile Dinah has what you'd call an 'annoying' smirk. Your friend begins to make a whipping noise, resulting in you rolling your eyes, even more annoyed,
    "Shut the hell up Dinah Jane,"
    "You should've seen your face! Fucking priceless," she says while laughing. Instead of arguing back, you walk off towards the kitchen to grab the carton of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream from the freezer and two spoons. You return back to Dinah and Lauren and stick the items out towards Dinah. You expect Dinah to grab them and do what she's supposed to do, which is go upstairs and listen to Camila talk shit and rant about you while eating the carton of ice cream together, but of course Dinah wants to give you even more of a headache,
    "What? Is Lil' Y/N/N scared?" You send her a 'bitch, really?' look, "Admit that you're scared of Walz or I won't help you,"
    "I'm not scared! She just needs some space right now,"
    "Why? Are you worried she's going to bite your head off or something?"
    "Fine! I'm fucking terrified of her right now! Happy?" Dinah finally accepts the items while laughing,
    "Very, Sucker," after flipping her hair in your face, she begins to walk towards the stairs,
    "Fucking bitch..." You mutter to yourself. While continuing to walk up the stairs, she yells out,
    "I heard that, Asswipe!" You shake your head while quietly laughing to yourself before realizing you're not alone. The beautiful green eyes in which you admire so much have just witnessed the stupid, hectic drama that you have to deal with quite often,
    "Well damn..." Lauren speaks for the first time, making you giggle,
    "Ya, damn is right! Welcome to my dysfunctional life,"
    "I'd never believe that Camz would do that to you if I hadn't witnessed it myself,"
    "Eh, she's really stressed and scared right now, I don't blame her. I was an idiot for saying that to her,"
    "True. You're an idiot if you actually mean it too," you send her a questioning look, "We're going to be fine, Y/N/N,"
    "I know... I was just saying that I'd try to hurt her if she were to hurt any of us,"
    "I would too, but I don't think that it's going to result in that,"
    "Do you actually?"
    "Do I actually what?"
    "Believe that everything's going to go smoothly?" She doesn't speak for a few moments, seeming to actually ponder the question,
    "Ya, I do," you look into her eyes and see she does believe it, or she's trying her best to do so. Something about the green eyed Goddess's confidence makes you feel a lot better about the situation. You nod your head in agreement before thinking to yourself,
Yeah, we got this.
