I Knew I Loved You (Camren FanFic)

Chapter 6 - Judge's Homes (Part 4)

Lauren's P.O.V

I knew Camz was lying when she said she was going to make a phone call. As she made her way out the kitchen, she was the only thing on my mind. No matter how hard I try to push her out, I can't. Everyone at the table is laughing, smiling, cracking jokes, etc. I'm giving them fake smiles, and fake laughs, as Camila is still running through my mind. Should I go up and check on her? I want to, just so I can help her and be there for her. Or should I stay down here and give her space so that she can help herself? God, if only she knew how much she means to me. So many thoughts are running through my mind right now, and I'm still debating whether or not I should go see her. 

After a few moments of giving it some more thought, I decide to go check on her since she hasn't came back down yet. I stand up from my chair and make my way out of the kitchen to the living. I grab on the railing of the stairs and start to walk up until someone grabs my shoulder.

"Lo, maybe I should talk to her.." Dinah worries. I come back down the steps that I made and stand in front of Dinah.

"Do you have any idea what's wrong with her? D, I'm so worried about her.." I say with concern.

"I might have an idea. But let me talk to her first okay?" She insinuates. "When she's ready to talk to you, she will. Now you go back and hang with your boo!" She giggles trying to make light of the situation. I give her a fake smile and start walking towards the kitchen but then stop in my tracks to turn around to ask one final question.

"Dinah, how'd you know?" I ask.

"How'd I know what?" She answers with a question, furrowing her eyebrows.

"About Camz. How'd you know something was wrong?" 

"Same reason you knew. You're not the only one that can see right through that girl." She smiles, which makes the corners of my mouth turn up as well.

"I'm glad she has you as a friend Dinah.. thanks." I say.

"No problem. Remember I'm here for you too." She assures me. "Now I'm going to go, and you're going to go and hang with the rest of the gang!" She chuckles. I give her a fake laugh as she walks up the stairs.

I didn't want to be with Keaton, at all. The only reason I actually agreed to go out with him is to clear my head and try to rid my feelings for Camz. It's wrong on my part of doing this to him, but isn't it wrong to have these feelings too? Whatever. I go back in the kitchen and sit down at the table where Alyy, Normani, and the guys were.

Dinah's P.O.V.

"Camila...?" I ask looking at her back facing towards me. She turns around and gives me a smile.

"Hey cheechee what's up?" She asks.

"I just came to check up on you, that's all." I answer.

"Oh, you didn't have to, I mean it was just a phone call." She says. I kept looking in her eyes and I can tell, she's not okay. She starts to walk past me going to the door but I quickly ran past her and shut the door.

"Dinah, what are you doing? We have to go back down and hang with the girls!" She scolds me. I put both of my hands on her shoulders and make her look me in the eyes.

"Mila, I know something's up. Just talk to me, you know you can right?" I ask reassuring her. She looks away for a moment. I can see tears in her eyes and she's trying to hold back. 

"I know I can, but not this. Not about this.." She mumbles. I let go of her shoulders and sigh. Camila grabs her left elbow with her right hand and bites the bottom of her lip, still looking away from me. I talk to left hand and walk towards one of the beds and sit her down, as I sit down next to her.
