Our secret { camren }

3. Strong.

Is that so wrong? That you make me strong. - one direction; strong.

Lauren's POV.

People behind me gasp in awe and shock. A smile plastered against my face.

"What would you uh-- " the cashier trembles in fear.

"Like." I finish the sentence that the lady could not.

"Yes." She nods.

"Uh large mocha." I look up at the menu.

"4.75" she whispered.

"Are you afraid of me?" I speak up.

She shakes her head.

"Everyone is, you're the talk of the town." She mumbles.

I nod my head and give her the five.

"Keep the change." She nods.

I move on to grab my mocha and walk out of Jed's.

I walk to Soundchecks.

"Late!" Normani protested.

"Yeah, I fucking know." I nod.

"You got more tattoos an piercings? You're ruining this band." Ally shook her head.

I scoffed.

I sit inbetween Dinah and camila.

"Hey mil." I whispered.

"Hey ren." She mumbled.

"Coming over tonight?" I mumbled.

"Maybe, I'll text you!" She whisper.

I nod.

"Okay, let's go over the top. Honeymoon avenue." Dave shouted.

"By the way, Lauren you're late. No exception. You have to stay later then the others." He added.

"Hell no, I am not. Fuck this all!" I shouted.

All the girls snicker.

"Lauren! Stop. No cursing during Soundchecks." Dave had a frown upon his face.

"I do what I want!" I shouted.

"Lauren, no you don't." Dave protested.

I got up out of my chair and rushed up to Dave's face.

"Oh, I don't, do you know who I am? I could kill you in over 3 seconds." I mumbled.

He shook his head. "No, please don't."

"Then repeat after me." I yelled.

Dave nodded.

"Lauren will not stay after Soundchecks."

"Lauren will not stay after Soundchecks."

"I should not underestimate Lauren."

"I should not underestimate Lauren."

"Cause she will murder me in over 3 seconds."

"Cause she will murder me in over 3 seconds."

I nod.

Dave nods too.

I spin around on my heels and walk back to my chairs.

"Nice-." Normani smiles.

I smile.

"Stop Lauren, stop that." Camila whispers.

"Shut the fuck up camila." I spit.

A tear falls out of her eye.

"Dammit, I didn't mean for you to take it to heart." I spit.

Fuck, I just made camila cry.

I watch camila she walks off set.

I jump up and chase after her.

"Camila!" I shout.

She keeps walking ahead of me.

She walks out of the building, and into this alley.

I'm almost on her heels, and I push her against the brick wall of the building.

She flenches.

"Camila.." I whine.

"What Lauren, what?" She yells.

"Leave me alone! I'm tired of being treated the way I am." She sobs.

"You know who I am, I won't change for anybody. And I don't see why you stick around.." I whisper.

"Cause I see the good in you; I see the light in you Lauren. You aren't just a murderer to me. You are something more. I love you. And I'm tired of being just a item with you. You're afraid that nobody will approve of us. You're afraid that nobody will like you and think of you as a softy. I'm tired of being sneaky. I'm tired. I'm tired I'm tired! And you tell me nothing. You're hidden. Part of you is hidden. You never tell me anything about your personal life. You keep me out of your life. You just take me home and you make me sleep in your bed. Cause you can't sleep alone. I hate it, I'm one of your toys! And you won't make me anything more." Camila shouted.

I placed a hard kiss on her lips.

"Just shut up, once you figure me out. And you know my past and everything behind me. You would leave, you would get up and leave. You wouldn't want to stay here. You would want to get up and run as far as you can. And I don't believe in relationships. They are just doomed to be trouble. Love is abstract, it brings nothing but trouble, camila. Do you think we could really work this out? Were just gonna be judged and hated. Goddammit. You aren't one of my toys. You're mine." I shouted.

Camila walked off into the alley even more.

"Camila stop!" I shouted.

But she didn't, she vanished.
