Fools

Chapter 16- it's cool dude

*Lauren's POV*

We sat there on the bathroom floor for a good hour and a half with absolutely no words spoken between Camila and I. My sobs had finally deteriorated and I sat curled up in Camz's comforting hold. Her fingers ran lightly through my hair while I nuzzled my face into the crook of her neck wanting this whole day just to be over. I don't even know where I'm going to stay now since I've been kicked out of my house for a week.

I can't stay here in Camila's house, her parents wouldn't allow her girlfriend to stay over, so I was shit out of luck, I'll probably end up at one of the other girls house. The tile floor was cold and it was too silent for anyone's liking. With a shaky breath I broke out of Camila's grasp and pushed myself into a standing position, Camz mirroring my moves. She looked at me with such loving eyes and put her left hand on my cheek.

"You okay?" She whispered

"Mhm..." I mumbled

"It's gonna be okay Lo."

I couldn't look in her eyes, I felt terrible for how my father felt towards my relationship. It made me want to slap him, does he not realize how perfect Camila is. "I should probably call one of the girls and ask them to stay at their house."

Her eyebrows furrowed together and her nose scrunched up, confusion clear on her face. "Why not just stay here??"

Although I felt like shit I couldn't help but laugh a little at how oblivious she was. "Camz, do you honestly think your parents would allow your girlfriend to stay over for a week?"

"Oh..." Was all she said as realization hit her

"You're adorable."

"Well thanks," she said her nose scrunching up like it usually does when she blushes. "Want me to come with you to get clothes from your house?"

I nodded and pulled out my phone, "let me just call Alexa real quick." I was gonna call Ally, Normani or Dinah but i feel as if Alexa has always had my back and I haven't been spending as much time with her lately, so I figured I'd call her. She answered quickly and I asked if I could seep at her house, saying I'd explain why later. Of course she said yes and we ended the conversation there.

From there I just grabbed Camila's hand, leaving the bathroom and heading out to my car. I ignored the awful feeling in my stomach as I drove off towards my house, wondering what I'd expect when I got home. We stepped out of my car and traveled into my house quietly, the eyes of my father glaring a hole into my head. Questioning looks were on Chris and Taylor's faces, but I ignored them and held tightly onto Camila's hand, taking her into my room.

I shoved a couple pair of pants into a duffle bag along with some sweatpants and t shirts, it was enough to last me a week. When my bag was packed, I took hold of Camila's hand and traveled back to my car. The funny thing was when I got back into my car, I couldn't start it, I just sat there and laid my head against the steering wheel, a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.

What hurt me the most was that my father just couldn't accept it, he couldn't accept my happiness. I was happy, I was with someone who was pure and genuine and who cares more than anything. I finally found someone who can make me happy with just a simple smile and I wasn't about to let it go. Camila rubbed my back in a soothing matter and my mind raced towards her again, like it always does.

She's such a genuine person, she's always so happy and so kind, it astounds me that no one picked her up before I did. But now that I have her, I won't let her go, I'll do anything to keep her as mine forever. In the past I had asshole boyfriends who would degrade me and act like I was nothing and my parents hated it, and now that I have someone amazing, my parents still don't accept it.

I lifted my head and started the car, needing to keep myself occupied so I wouldn't cry. I wasn't one to be vulnerable, that's not me, I like to keep myself shut off. "Camz, I'm gonna drop you off at home and head to Alexa's house. Me and her need to have a conversation about everything." Camila nodded understandingly and just held onto my hand as she glanced out the window.

She gave me a quick kiss as I stopped in front of her house and hopped out the car yelling "ill text you!," as she ran into her house. I smiled at her cuteness, quickly driving to Alexa's house. I pulled into her driveway and went straight into her house, not even bothering knocking seeing as I use to practically live there because is refuse to go home. I went straight to her room and of course she was there, waiting for me patiently.

"So go ahead, explain." She said as I took a seat on the foot of her bed

"My parents kicked me out for a week...." I muttered

"Why? Did you like come home drunk or did ya fuck someone in their bed?"

"I'm dating Camila."

I expected a surprised look but instead a genuine smile formed on her face. "It's about time, literally Lo, I thought you'd never ask her out!"

"Wait what?"

"Camila may have been totally oblivious to your feelings but I'm almost 100 percent sure everyone else could see it. You stared at her with such adoration in your eyes and you were always there when she was sad or hurt, it's cute."

"So like, you're okay with me dating a girl?"

"Dude, you're my best friend, of course it's cool. But anyway, back to your parents, so since you're dating a girl they've kicked you out?"

"My dad did, he thinks that if he gives me a week away from home I'll magically forget my feelings about Camila and dump her."

"What an ass. I love your family and all but dude, can't they see how happy you are!" Alexa exclaimed quickly adding, "well whatever you're always welcome here."

"Thanks Alexa."

"How about you get all situated and then come downstairs for dinner."

I nodded and she left the room. I threw my bag on top of her drawer and pulled my phone out, texting Camila and telling her it was all cool and Alexa was totally cool with me and her dating. Maybe everyone else will be this cool about me and Camz dating, I thought.
