I Knew I Loved You (Camren FanFic)

Chapter 6 - Judge's Homes (Part 3)

Lauren's P.O.V.

"Good luck, I hope your band gets through." Keaton says. I swear, this boy is just too sweet.

"Yea same.. I hope your band makes it through too!" I say back. I see two guys come right behind Keaton and my grip in his hand tightens.

"Ahh.. so who's the lucky gal, Keaton?" one of them asks with his arm leaning on Keaton's shoulder.

"Lauren, this is Drew, and that's Wesley, my bandmates" Keaton introduces, pointing to the guys behind him. Funny, they all look alike.

"Yea bandmate slash brother!" Wesley points out. I giggle at this. No wonder why they look alike. 

"So where are your bandmates?" Keaton asks.

"Oh, they're over at the table." I say, pointing to Ally, Dinah, Normai, and Camz. "Cmon, I'll introduce you to them." I continue, walking over to the girls with Keaton, Drew and Wesley.

"Hey Lolo what's up?" Ally asks, looking at the guys.

"Girls, this is Keaton, Drew, and Wesley. Guys these are my girls Dinah, Ally, Normani, and Camila." I say, introducing them to each other. 

We all sat down, getting to know each other, sharing laughs here and there. I'm really happy I was able to make new friends. Don't get me wrong, I love hanging with my girls but it's always nice to meet new people.

I couldn't help but look at Camz across the table. She looks out of it. I mean she laughed, and had a smile, but it's just.. a weird transition from the hallway to now. Maybe she did take a tablet. But why did those pills have to brighten her mood. I want to be the one who she can talk to about anything. I want to be the one who can bring her mood up. Keaton snaps me out of my thoughts about Camz.

"Hey Lauren, can I talk to you for a second?" He asks nervously.

"Yea of course. What's up?" I ask.

"Well I mean, privately.." 

"Oh yea.. um.. sure.. cmon." I say nervously. We both get up and he takes my hand, leading me to the living room. I'm so nervous. What did he want to talk to me about?

"So I was wondering if.. I don't know.. maybe next saturday.. we could.. go out and.. maybe eat dinner and catch a movie?" Keaton asks nervously, scratching the back of his neck, waiting for an answer. My eyes went wide at his question. I have no idea what to say. Yes? No? I have feelings for Camz and I  don't want to lead him on. My head tells me to say yes but my heart tells me to say no. But, maybe this could be a good thing. Maybe going out with Keaton can help me forget my feelings for Camz. No one will ever know my intentions, so what's the harm in going out on a date with him? I watched his eyes as he stood there nervously, still waiting for my answer. Why do I feel like I'm going to regret this? Oh well, I'm going with what my head says, instead of my heart. I need to get rid of these feelings.

"Sure why not! But on one condition." I say.

"Y-Yea.. su-sure. Wha-What's u-up?" He stutters. I find him so cute being nervous around me. Actually, I'm flattered.

"I get to pick the movie." I say giving him a wink. The corners of his mouth turn up and he takes the back of my hand like he did in the kitchen and gently places his lips on it. This made my heart flutter.

"Anything for you." He smiles.

We walk back in the kitchen hand in hand towards the table where everyone was. I can feel all eyes on Keaton and I.

"WOAHHH! Get it Lolo!" Dinah cheered.

"AYEEEE!!" Ally and Normani scream. I blush immediately and laugh at my friends. 

"Wow Keat, looks like you got some game after all!" His brother comments. Keaton starts to blush as well and gives Wesley that "shutup-or-I'm-going-to-kill-you-look". I feel his grip around my hand tighten as he gives his brother that look. 

"AWWW THEY'RE BLUSHING!!!" Dinah teases. All of us, even Keaton and I, start to laugh. I look up and I can see Camz out of the corner of my eye. She looks sad, broken, yet she put on this fake smile for everyone to see. Not me though, I can see right through her. We knew each other so well, that I was able to figure out whenever something was wrong. When all the girls are asleep, I'm going to talk to her. I care about her too much to let her swim in her own pool of sadness.

Camila's P.O.V

Jealousy, anger, and frustration. That's what I'm start to feel, looking at Keaton and Lauren together. I hate this more than anything. I feel like my heart has been stabbed and I'm just laying there with a knife in my chest while everyone seem to be so happy. To be honest, at this point, I don't even want to be in X Factor anymore. I just want to go back home to Miami and forget all this happened. I want this to be a nightmare and I would wake up from it soon. I want my anxiety, jealousy, anger, and frustration to end. But it isn't some nightmare that I would wake up from. This is reality and I have to deal with it, no matter how much it hurts, so I put on a smile so that no one would notice my true feelings. 

I stand up from my chair and start walking out of the kitchen. Lauren grabs my hand, looks me in the eyes, and asks where I'm going. She knows something's wrong. We knew each other too well. Whatever it is, we always saw right through each other.

"Upstairs. I just need to make a quick phone call to my mom. I promised I would call her." I say. It looks like she bought it so she released her hand and let me go.

I walk my way up the stairs to the bedroom and throw myself on the bed. I let my head sink in the pillow and scream as loud as I can until air became a problem. 

"Why? Why did I have to develop such strong feelings for her?" I thought. "Never in my life have I ever felt this way towards anyone, so why now? Great timing!" I continue thinking. 

I run my fingers through my hair and look to my left to see my anti-depressants. I pick up the small bottle  and start to think again. "I know I'm not suppose to take another until tonight but one more pill couldn't hurt right? What's the worse it could do?" I ask myself. I take one tablet in my hand still contemplating. Suddenly, I hear footsteps in the hall and without hesitation, I swallow another tablet, putting the bottle away in my suitcase. Wow I feel so light again.

"Camila..?" I hear someone behind me say.
