LAUREN POV

"Lauren," Brad called as I raised my eyebrow at him.

"Why are you here? I was meant to meet you back at your house," I called staring at Jacob in his arms.

My heart dropped at the sight as I carefully took him from Brad and cuddled him to my chest.

"Do you think I would let you get a taxi home? Especially at this time of night?" He responded as I rolled my eyes.

"Anyways did you see her?" Brad asked as I stared at him.

"Who?" I questioned.

"Camila,"

"C-Camila?" I replied taking a deep breath as goosebumps appeared over my body.

He nodded.

I shook my head in reply.

"Why?" I questioned as Brad shrugged.

"You saw her didnt you?"

He remained silent.

"Didn't you!" I raised my voice as Brad chewed his bottom lip.

"Why didn't you let me talk to her!" I said angrily out of frustration and Brad sighed.

"She....Uh, she came out with a girl Lauren, she told me to tell you that you deserved to be a stripper, that you're pathetic and.." Brad stopped and stare at me as tears pricked my eyes.

"She wouldn't say that," I said shaking my head.

"Lauren, she ruined your life, she's a monster. Of course she will sat something like that, I wanted to hit her so badly, but I didn't beacuse I knew it would've been much more mature to not,"he said smiling as I sighed, still heart broken at the fact that Camila could've said something as horrible like that.

Brad is still my bestfriend and I trust him fully and I know he will never lie to me But Camila...she wouldn't say something like that, would she?

"Come on, I'll take you home," Brad said, interrupting my thoughts.

I nodded softly and walked to the car, the soft snores of Jacob left from his lips as I smiled softly.

Brad opened the car door for me as I placed Jacob in his seat before getting in, sitting next to my baby.

"You know I don't want you getting hurt, it's been a 3 years and I'm still here, I'm always going to be wanting for you Lauren," Brad said as he started the car, looking at me through the review mirror.

I nodded slowly.

"I know," I whispered and he smiled.

"I love you," he murmured and the hole in my heart deepened.

"And I know you don't want to sat it back, beacuse of the past but I do, and I don't mind if you don't even like me a bit, I'm just letting you know that you have someone who truly loves you,"

A sigh escaped from my lips as I stared outside the window.

"Thank you Brad," I replied and I felt his smile take over his face.
