Camila watched as her girlfriend put her makeup on. She did it so precisely, even if she messed up a little bit, she would get upset. Camila knew that her girlfriend had low self-esteem. That she wanted everyone to like her, so sometimes she would go to the extreme.

Lauren, on the other hand, knew she was doing what she had to do. She hated all of the dresses and make up she wore, but if people liked it, she could suck it up. As Lauren started working on her hair, Camila walked into the bathroom. She moved Lauren's hair, out of the way to kiss the dragonfly tattoo that was on the back of the girl's neck.

"Leave your hair down baby. We both know you want to." She says, but Lauren shakes her head.

"I can't. I have to look beautiful." She says. That hurt Camila.

"Lauren, stop." She says. Lauren puts down her hairbrush and faces her girlfriend. She took a deep breath, anticipating what Camila was about to say.

"Why are you trying so hard, babe?" Lauren looks down at the ground and starts playing with her fingers.

"I have to look beautiful enough to be your girlfriend. So I have to do this." She says shyly. Camila moves the hair out of Lauren's face to see her better.

"You already are beautiful, Lauren. You are so beautiful just the way you are. You don't have to try to be something you're not for people to like you." She explains but Lauren just shakes her head, still not making eye contact.

"But people say that you deserve better than me, and I know that's true so I want to make myself beautiful to prove them wrong." She says. Camila lifts Lauren's chin to finally get the eye contact she needed.

She kisses her girlfriend passionately.

"It doesn't matter what they say. I love you. Only you. I don't deserve better because I already have the best." She says and Lauren starts to blush and hugs Camila.

"You told me you love me." She says in disbelief. Camila nods and giggle slightly.

"I love you too Camz. So much." Lauren says and pull out of the hug. Camila can't help but kiss Lauren over and over again. This was the first time they have ever said "I love you" to each other. The circumstances that it was under aren't that great but they still said it because they truly felt it.

Camila takes out her phone and starts recording.

"Hi everyone! I just wanted to say that I love my girlfriend and that you shouldn't be attacking her with rude words because you guys don't know her and therefore, you don't know that she is the most beautiful and kindest person I know and ever will know." She turns to kiss Lauren.

"I love you, I love you, I love you and I don't care who knows it." She says and kiss her once again. She posts the video on Twitter and Instagram.

"Now go take your makeup off and come cuddle." She says to Lauren. Lauren nods and goes to take it off.

"See? Beautiful." Camila says as Lauren walks out. Lauren lays down with her head on Camila's chest.

"Your beautiful baby. Don't try too hard to make other people happy. Make yourself feel happy instead." Camila says and kisses her girlfriend's head.
