That's my Girl (Camren) REWRITING AND UPDATING!!

Ch. 6

Authors Pov:

Three movies and two more bowls of popcorn, all four girls were asleep. The credits were rolling for the last movie they had watched. Somehow in their sleep Lauren and Camila had gravitated towards one another and were currently cuddling on the small armchair while Normani and Dinah were sprawled across the rather large sofa. What the other girls didn't realize was that Camila wasn't resting peacefully. Sure, when she first fell asleep it was peaceful but as the night moved on, her nightmares had started to make an unwanted appearance. Dinah, having been Camilas best friend for a long time now, and not to mention they were in the same pack, knew about the nightmares.

She knew how her best friend would often wake up in the middle of the night screaming in pain. Not physical pain, but it was pain nonetheless.

'The two girls were walking side by side to their cabin. The younger girl enthusiastically pulling her sister through the forest. 

"Hurry up Kaki" the little girl giggled causing her sister to laugh a bit too, still being dragged along by the eight year old.

"Slow down Sof" Camila called out, her voice falling upon deaf ears as the little girl kept running. The brown-eyed fifteen year old was starting to grow anxious. Her parents always told her that she should be back in the cabin by nine and it was nearing half an hour past. She knew that Tyler was still out, but that was because he could protect himself against the vampires. Camila could too..... but when she was with Sofia, she didn't want to risk her getting hurt. With that in her head she twisted her head to try and see where her sister had gone.

"Sof!" she began repeatedly calling the young girl. When she got no reply her heart race started to increase and she was incredibly worried. Several minutes later, she still could not find the bundle of happiness that was her sister. Her breath hitched and her head snapped up at the sound of twigs crunching.

"SOFI!!!!"

And that's where the dream ends, it always end there. The now almost seventeen year old jumped up. Sweat covering her forehead and her whole body trembling. She felt arms wrapped around her and for a second she panicked, but soon calmed down once she realized her surroundings and that the embrace she was in was with none other than the green eyed girl she'd admired. But unfortunately for Camila her panic didn't go un-noticed by Lauren. In fact, she had been looking at Camila intensely ever since she had started tossing and turning.

"Are you okay?" Lauren asked the younger Latina, sitting upright so she could see her properly. Anybody who saw the concern in Laurens face, would have been able to guess then and there that she was already in the depths of falling for the girl sitting cross-legged beside her.

"No, it was my fault I c-cou-could've been more careful. I s-screwed up Lauren" after Camila managed to choke out her words, she started sobbing uncontrollably. She didn't have to think twice about it, Lauren already had Camila pulled into a comforting hug. She felt her shirt getting damp from the younger girls tears but she didn't care. She just wanted to make sure that Camila was okay, and that she stopped blaming herself for whatever happened.

"Hey hey hey, look at me" Lauren pulled back so that she could look into the brown eyes she had really grown to like within these last few days. "I'm sure whatever happened wasn't your fault" 

"What?" 'At least she's speaking properly again' Lauren thought to herself.

"Whatever it is that happened, wasn't your fault" and she knew she shouldn't have said it once she laid eyes on the girl beside her. Camilas' eyes puffy and red from crying, but now had a certain fire in them.

"You. Don't. Know. The. Half. Of. It" She spat out before hopping up and walking out to the hallway to retrieve her shoes. Finding them and quickly shoving them on her feet she darted towards the door but was stopped by the black haired beauty.

"What are you doing?" blocking the door and raised one of her eyebrows. She didn't want Camila to go out and do something stupid without a clear head.

"I need to do something, tell Dinah I'll be where I always go and that see her later" and with that said, the brown-eyed girl had swerved around the taller girl and made her escape. To say she felt like shit, was an understatement on Laurens part. She didn't mean to upset Camila, she had only wanted to comfort her.

Camila, however, was racing to her refuge. Her safe haven. The place she used to take her little sister when everything was too much. She felt hot tears pricking her eyes for the second time that night. She made her way through some bushes before finding the secluded area she was looking for. She sat down on a rock and looked up to the sky.

"Hey" her voice came out soft, barely above a whisper but strained nonetheless. "I know it's my fault, but I miss you. All of you, and so does Ty he just wants to be strong for me. If I could go back in time and let them take me instead, I would. I should have listened to you mom. God, I should have gotten back to the house in time, I thought we were fine. I'll get him dad, like I promised. Brad will pay, and Sof, I hope you are happy up there too. I'd join you, but I cant get myself to do it. I can't" her cries were heard by no one particular that night, but this was a regular thing to happen at this stage, it was routine. And although she blamed herself, nothing could be pinned on the young girl who was currently sobbing her heart out. Her older brother always kept up a brave face for his little sister, but she knew that he missed them.

'Its my fault' that was the recurring thought that made Camilas' head spin. She felt exhausted. Almost two years of the same self blame did that to a person, but one thing she assured herself of, was that she'd get Brad, even if it meant disobeying her pack and getting herself killed, she didn't care. She knew she'd do it even if that was the end result and it didn't even scare her. She fought off sleep until she physically couldn't keep her eyes open and when they closed she succumbed to the darkness she was emerged in.
