The Stripper- A Camren Fanfiction

Chapter 15

"Fuck you." Lauren spat out whilst the boss tightened the grip of the rope constricting Lauren's hands.

"I think that you'll find that you're the one here that's fucked here," the boss chuckled. "And this time it's not by your pretty little girlfriend."

"Umm, actually we haven't-"

"Camz, don't." Lauren hushed the younger girl, who was also tied up in the same fashion.

"Oh wow. You guys haven't done it yet? Shame you never will." The short man burst into a fit of laughter, causing Lauren to clench her jaw.

Lauren, Camila and Alec were tied to chairs in the bosses office whilst he interrogated Camila, trying to force a password out of here. However, Camila was still just as clueless as she was before.

"Y'know what? I'm actually going to enjoy killing all three of you. Does anyone have any suggestions on how they want to go?" The boss asked, in a vulgar manner as he sat at his desk sharpening one of his spears that he hung on the wall as a 'decoration'.

"You're a disgusting man." Alec spat out, gaining the tiny man's attention.

The boss stood up from his chair and, leisurely, hovered over to the dark-haired boy, who now looked as if he was in a state of complete panic. The slower he walked, the more intimidated Alec became.

"And you're barely a man," he said ferociously. "You couldn't bring yourself to do the deed as much as that dyke over there could." Camila watched as Lauren's face flushed with complete anger at the demeaning she had been called. "So, for that you'll pay."

Alec bravely swallowed the lump in his throat and said, "I already know. You're gonna kill me, right? Just like everyone in this room."

The boss laughed non-humourlessly and bitterly.

"I'm not going to kill you yet. But you do decide how Lauren will die."

"What?!" Alec basically shouted. Lauren was in just as much shock.

"You have to choose or I'll choose for you. Bearing in mind, whatever I choose will be extremely painful and torturous."

"Alec, you can't do this. Please don't." Camila begged, tears evidentially streaming down her face. She couldn't watch Lauren be mercilessly killed before her very eyes.

The boss impatiently tapped his foot on the ground, signalling that he wanted an answer from Alec...and fast.

"You can't ask me to do this, sir. Lauren is one of my best friends. This is murder."

"It didn't bother you before." The boss said calmly, referring to all the people Alec had murdered as part of the 'job' he had.

"That was different! I can't do that, I just can't."

"Fucking choose. Right now." The boss growled in a low-clipped voice.

Alec turned to look at Lauren, who was uncontrollably shaking. Alec let out a sob before taking a look at the weapons on display.

"Alec, no! You can't. You can't fucking murder her!" Camila pleaded, but Alec was still looking at the variety of weapons.

Alec was a flustered mess at this stage. He was sobbing the hardest Camila had ever seen anyone cry. Then he mumbled something and everything went silent. It was as if the world had been paused.

"What did you say. Speak up boy!" The boss demanded. Alec raised his head slowly to look in his eyes.

"I said that I'll have the gun."

Camila let out a shriek of terror. He was actually going to shoot Lauren.

"Yes! That's what I like to here!" The short man cheered as Alec picked up the handheld weapon and hesitantly made his way over to Lauren.

"Alec, please no. You can't. Please Alec no." Lauren mumbled as Alec got closer.

"Lauren, I need to do this." Alec cried, if it was even possible to cry any more than he had.

"No you don't. Please Alec," Alec raised the gun and pointed it to Lauren's head. "For fuck's sake, you son of a bitch." Lauren sobbed. "Wait stop! Can I just say something before I go? Please." The boss rolled his eyes but still nodded.

"Make it quick. I don't want to waste anymore unnecessary time."

"Camila," Lauren said, turning her head towards the younger girl, who was in a shock-driven coma. "I love you, okay? And nothing will ever change that. I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry." Camila sobbed harder and Lauren reached out for her hand. "Please, you need to stay strong for me. We will meet again my love, I promise you. We will meet in another lifetime and fall in love all over again. Do you know how I know that?" Lauren asked and Camila lightly shook her head. "Because when I hold this hand," Lauren slightly shook Camila's hand. "It feels right. It feels that I was made to hold this hand. And that in every lifetime I've ever had, I've held this hand. That's how I know we'll be together, my love. That's how I know we'll find peace." Lauren smiles causing Camila to smile, through her sobs, also.

"I can't take much more of this. Kill her now, Alec."

Lauren squeezed Camila's hand and shut her eyes as tight as she could. Camila's vision had become blurred from all of the tears but she saw Alec place his finger on the trigger.

"Goodnight, I love you." Camila whispered to her one true love.

"I never meant to hurt anybody." Alec muttered and then abruptly turned around and shot.

Lauren's eyes shot open when she had realised that the shot missed her completely. When she opened her eyes, she realised that the shot wasn't meant for her.

"Fuck!" The boss hissed as he put pressure on his shoulder. The bullet had been lodged into it and not Lauren.

"I couldn't do it, Lauren. I'd never be able to live with myself, even if it was an extra 30 minutes or whatever. You're my bestfriend and I-" Alec rambled but was cut off when a huge spear went flying into his skull. He stood there for a moment before falling to his knees and then hitting the hard floor brutally.

Camila screamed in complete fear. However, everything stood still for Lauren. Everything turned into slow motion as the boss tore the impaled spear from Alec's head and wiped it delicately with his white cloth, staining red in the process.

"One down. Two to go." The boss cackled to himself as he carefully placed his weapon back onto the shelf.

(A/N) Sorry for the bad ending considering it's Christmas. But anyway, Merry Christmas everyone (if you celebrate) and Happy Hanukkah (if you celebrate)! I hope you've all had an amazing day and spent it with the people you love and care for the most. Christmas is a time for giving and it's a time for cherishing the ones you love and keeping them close to your heart. Never let a day pass without remembering all the things that those you love have done for you. And if you ever feel unloved, which I hope none of you do, then just remember that I'm always here for you and I'm only a message away. I love you all. Happy holidays! Stay safe everyone x.

P.S...Lauren's speech to Camila was totally inspired by the Klaine proposal. Blaine's words were absolutely beautiful so I just had to add them. Christmas cookies for you if you noticed the link!
