That Should Be Me (Camren)

Chapter 10

I didn't realize that Camila was behind me when he told me it was Austin. I turned to look at her and she just looked blank. She walked back to the couch and broke down crying. I ran over to her and hugged her, she started crying harder. I was infuriated, he better be glad he's in jail because if he wasn't I would hunt him down and rip his head off. How could he hurt someone so precious?

The girls came over and I explained everything to them. Camila was crying the entire time. I wanted to cry too but I couldn't, I had to be there for her. Now that we know who did it, we need to figure out why. Think, think, think. That's it! The argument him and Camila had about her spending too much time with me. He was jealous that his girlfriend was spending more time with me than she was with him. Well now he isn't going to be spending any time at all with her.

"Lauren can you sleep with me tonight?" She asked, crying.

"Of course babe." I said.

We walked to her room and she laid down on the bed and held her arms out for me to come lay down. I walked over and laid on the bed and immediately she snuggled up next to me. Here come the butterflies again. I put my arm around her and soon she fell asleep. She's so cute when she sleeps. I kissed her forehead. She isn't making it any easier for me trying to keep my feelings inside.

~3 Days Later~

 Camila is starting to return back her normal self. Each day my feelings for Camila are growing stronger. I don't know how much longer I can keep it in.

We're hanging out tonight and I'm going to try my best to contain myself around her. We're watching a movie about two girls that are best friends and one of them falls in love with the other. How ironic huh?

"I can't believe she is in love with her. I don't know how I would react if one of my best friends told me that." Camila said.

That's it. I get up and go to my room, mad, confused, and sad all at the same time. I get to my room and I just break down crying into my pillow and I hear footsteps.

"Lauren are you okay? What's wrong?" She say, worried.

This is it. I am finally going to tell her so I grab my guitar and motion for her to come sit down. She sits at the end of my bed and I start playing.

Everybody's laughing in my mind
Rumors spreading 'bout this other guy

Do you do what you did, when u were there with me
Does he love you the way I can?
Did you forget all the plans that you made with me?
'Cause baby, I didn't

That should be me holding your hand
That should be me making you laugh
That should be me, this is so sad
That should be me, that should be me

That should be me feeling your kiss
That should be me buying you gifts
This is so wrong, I can't go on
'Til you believe that that should be me
That should be me

You said you needed a little time for my mistakes
It's funny how you use that time to have me replaced
Did you think that I wouldn't see you out at the movies?
Whatcha doing to me?

You're taken' him where we used to go
Now if you're trying to break my heart
It's working 'cause you know

That, that should be me holding your hand
That should be me making you laugh
That should be me, this is so sad
That should be me, that should be me

That should be me feeling your kiss
That should be me buying you gifts
This is so wrong, I can't go on
'Til you believe that should be me

I need to know should I fight for our love or disarm?
It's getting harder to shield this pain in my heart, ooh

That should be me holding your hand
That should be me making you laugh
That should be me, this is so sad
That should be me, that should be me

That should be me feeling your kiss
That should be me buying you gifts
This is so wrong, I can't go on
'Til you believe that that should be me, ooh

Holding your hand, that should be me
The one making you laugh, oh baby
Oh, that should be me, yeah

That should be me, giving you flowers
That should be me, talking for hours
That should be me, that should be me
That should be me

Never should've let you go
I never should've let you go
That should be me
Never should've let you go
That should be me

Never should've let you go
Never should've let you go
That should be me

"Camila, I know that we have been best friends for a while now but when I saw you in that hospital bed I couldn't help but realize that I couldn't live without you. I knew it wasn't just in a friendly way, I'm in love with you. I know it because every time I'm around you I get butterflies. I love everything about you, from your brown eyes that I find myself getting lost in every time I look at them, to the way you can never be serious. I want us to be more than friends. The whole time you were dating Austin, I couldn't help but think That should be me." I say, letting out a huge breath. She sat silently for a minute.

"Lauren, I..."
