Camila's P.O.V.

"Lauren!" I call once more. Still having not turned around, she quickly took off her heels and started running to the bathroom. I tried to open the door but Lauren locked it immediately.

"Lauren, please open the door.." I say, my voice cracking at the last words. Not one sound came out the bathroom as I put my ear against the door. After a while of trying to get her to open up, I gave up, figuring maybe she wanted some space.

Even though Drew helped send Wesley and Keaton to jail, I hated him right now. He kissed me, knowing I didn't like him more as a friend, and by doing so, he just ruined my relationship with Lauren. Two months of pure happiness, are all going down the drain, because of one stupid, idiotic, forced kiss that meant absolutely nothing to me. 

As I kept walking, I saw the girls further ahead, eating whatever their stomachs desired. My heart ached too much that the girls would notice that something was wrong so instead of walking over to them, I left and made my way to the park; where Lauren and I had that special moment that I will cherish forever. Sitting down on the same bench where we shared our very first kiss, the memories came crawling back of Lauren and I; us sitting here on this very bench, talking, snuggling up to one another. Looking further beyond, I see the ducks, swimming peacefully across the pond. It's almost perfect, if only she were here sitting right next to me.

I hadn't even noticed it was getting dark until I felt my phone vibrating, bringing back to reality. Looking at my phone screen, it was Dinah calling. I hesitate for a moment, debating whether or not I should answer. If I answer, she's just going to ambush me with a ton of questions, but if I don't, I'll just have to answer here later face-to-face. Knowing how Dinah is, I'd rather not be interrogated face-to-face. 

"Hello?" I ask answering the phone.

"Mila where the hell are you? Do you know what time is it?!" she yells in to the phone. "And let the questions start," I thought to myself. 

"Dinah, I'm fine. I just needed some air," I tell her.

"Oh... is everything okay?" she asks in a soft tone. I don't know why, but right then and there, I start crying my eyes out. "Mila don't cry, where are you? I'll go get you and we can talk," she says.

"Pa-park," I manage to say through my sobs.

"I'm on my way! Stay where you are!" Dinah commanded before hanging up. I put my phone down on the bench, and waited for her. Several tears were streaming down my face and even though I kept wiping them away, it was no use; they kept coming.

Lauren's P.O.V.

I didn't want to talk to anyone, especially Camz. After witnessing the kiss, it felt like my heart was being ripped right of my chest. My eyes were starting to cover themselves with tears and before I k new it, I ran to the bathroom locking it so no one else would see me in this state. I backed away from the door hearing her call me, begging me to open it.

"Lauren, please open the door.." she said, her voice cracking a little at the end. Hearing her voice, made my heart ache even more than it already is. I fell to my knees, slamming my hands over my mouth while tears were still spilling from my eyes. After a while, I heard her walk away. I was finally able to bring myself together after sitting on the cold tiled floor for what felt like so long.

Walking over to the sink, I turn the faucet on, letting the water go down the drain, like my relationship. Slowly, I cup the water with my hands and throw my face in it, feeling the coldness hit every centimeter of my skin above my neck.I quickly dab my face with a paper towel, taking my make up off while doing so. As I made my way back towards the door, I hear someone knock.
