Give Me A Chance(camren)

Chapter 14

Camila POV.

"Explain. Now." I demanded as Lauren and I sat across each other on my bed.
Lauren just finished taking a shower and I gave her some of my clothes to wear.

She lets out a shaky breath and looked down at her fingers.

I raised my eyebrows and scooted closer, pulling her against my chest.
Lauren lets out a loud sob and cried against my chest.

I wrapped my arms around her body and pulled her closer to my body. Careful not to overstep any boundaries as I carefully wrapped my arm around her properly.

I didn't know what to do so I hugged her tightly and rubbed her back softly.

"Sshhh... You're okay... I'm here.." I whispered on her hair as I placed a soft kiss onto her forehead.
She continued to cry and I was getting worried about her.

What was happening to her? I've never seen Lauren cry before, but then again... I could fill up a book of things that I do not know about Lauren.

She started to calm down after a few minutes, not fully as I could still feel her shaking against me.

I sighed and ran my fingers through her hair.

"You don't have to talk about it if you're not ready.." I said softly.

She shook her head and looked up at me.

There were still tears running down her cheeks, I reached up my hand and wiped it gently with the pad of my thumb.

She smiled softly and sighed.
"N-No... I wanna tell you.. I trust you.." She whispered.

I kissed her forehead softly and rubbed her back gently.
"Are you sure? I don't wanna force you..."

She gave me a small smile and nodded her head softly.
"I'm sure..."

She moved gently out of my embrace and composed herself.
She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

I sat still, waiting patiently for her to get herself ready.

She let out a shaky breath before speaking.

"I-I come from a very broken family.... My mom left me,my siblings and my father when I was only 7..."

She stopped and took a deep breath and I placed my hand on her knee comfortingly.

"M-My father loved my mom so much and when she left, he broke down completely... He started drinking and was never home most of the time.... One day, h-he hit me.."

"You can stop if you want, Lauren.." I said softly as I cut her off.

I didn't want to force her into saying something she wasn't to say yet..

She looked at me and smiled gently as she shook her head.
"No, its okay... Like i said, I trust you.."

I smiled softly at her and nodded my head, urging her to continue.

She cleared her throat before speaking.
"Anyway.. He was drunk and when I tried taking the beer out of his hand, h-he punched my face and threw me against the wall... It was a good thing though that my siblings weren't there, they stayed over at my aunts house that night...
Ever since that night, I never looked at him as the loving father that I once had anymore....."

"Is that where you got all those bruises on your face..?" I whispered.

She nodded her head slowly and some tears rolled down her cheeks.

I pulled her back into me as I wrapped my arms around her body tightly and hugged her.

I could feel her tears soaking up my shirt once again.. But I didn't care...All I care about at the moment was to protect her and keep her safe.. To comfort her.

She pulled away but I still kept my arms wrapped around her.

She sighed and laid down on my chest.

"Thank you..." I whispered.

She looked up at me with her eyebrows quirked up.

"For what?" She questioned.

I smiled and shrugged my shoulders.
"For trusting me..." I mumbled.

She smiled at me and sighed out loudly to herself.
"No... Thank you."

Now it was me this time to question her. With my eyebrows quirked up I bend my head to glance at her quickly.

"Me? Why?"

She smiled at me and nuzzled her head further into my chest.

"For being there for me...For being on my side this time... Thank you.." She mumbled against my chest.

I smiled down at her and stroked her waist tenderly.
I felt her relax instantly.

"I'll do anything for you lo.."

I felt her smile against my chest.

We laid down on my bed and she snuggled up to my side.

I stroked her back gently and hummed lightly to myself.

A few minutes passed and I felt her steady breathing on my chest.

I smiled and leaned down to place a gentle kiss on her forehead.
I tighten my hold around her and sighed to myself contently.

"I'll always be here for you Lo.. No matter what..." I said gently as I too drifted off to sleep.
