Three days later and Lauren is assisting a very banged up Camila to the newly repaired door to their apartment. Lauren had the door fixed on Camila's second day in the hospital. Their friends took it upon themselves to clean up the apartment while Lauren spent every second with Camila in the hospital while the brunette recovered.

"Almost there, Camz." Lauren breathes, with one hand under Camila's arms supporting her as she walks down the hallway and the other hand carrying their bags.

Camila fondly shakes her head, letting out a small giggle that steals the wind from her damaged ribs. "I still remember where the apartment is, Laur."

They stop in front of the replaced door just in time for Lauren to obnoxiously roll her eyes while trying to fight the inevitable smile forming on her lips.

The smile quickly vanishes when she tries to stick the key in the lock, realizing that the door is unlocked. Panic shoots deep in her chest at the thought of one of Scott's minions waiting inside to get revenge.

"Lauren?" Camila cautiously questions, sensing the hesitation.

"Baby when we get in here, I want you to wait by the door. I'm gonna check the place out." Lauren waits a second to get a nod of agreement from her girlfriend before nudging the door open and slowly tip-toeing into the apartment. It's absolutely ridiculous to be afraid of walking into your own apartment. How did they get into this mess?

Lauren quietly set the bags down next to the door before helping Camila prop herself up against the wall. Just as the raven haired girl turns around to inspect the apartment she's spun back around, not even a second later a nervous kiss is planted on her lips. "Be careful," Camila whispers against parted lips.

The green eyed girl nodded her head, flashing a reassuring smile before turning on her heel and slowly walking through the foyer. She started in the bedroom, checking the room thoroughly before making her way through the office down the hall, and bathroom before she winds up in the kitchen.

Suddenly a voice in the living room pipes up and makes Lauren practically jump out of her skin. "Oh thank god, Lauren!"

Green orbs whip around to witness her siblings running full force towards her. A huge relieved sigh falls from her lips just as Taylor and Chris scoop their big sister up into a huge hug, the relief nearly bringing the older Jauregui to tears.

"What the hell are you guys doing here?" Lauren gasps through the tight embrace.

"Dinah called and told us what happened, we were worried fucking sick." Taylor replies as her grip subconsciously tightens on her older sister. "Thank God you two are okay."

"Speaking of, where's Camila?" Chris questions once they all break apart.

Lauren's eyes bulge out of her head momentarily, "Shit." The raven haired girl rushes back to the foyer where she's met with her girlfriend's worried expression.

"Is everything alright?" The brown eyed girl questions as her arms loop around Lauren's neck as soon as she's in close proximity.

A large smile breaks out on Lauren's face as she slowly nods her head in agreement. "There's two people here that you need to officially meet in person."

Camila's brows stitch together in confusion as she's led to the living room by Lauren's arms. "Is this a good surprise or a bad one?" The brunette whispers, causing a smile to break out on Lauren's face.

"I'm not sure yet," The older girl replied, causing brown orbs to widen in worry.

As soon as their feet step over the threshold into the living room, the pair are bombarded by the younger Jauregui's. They scoop the couple into a hug that surprises Camila and makes Lauren chuckle. "Good to meet you, Camila." Taylor and Chris mumble through the hug.
