She's the music to my soul (Camren fic)

Chapter 37 (part 2)

It was showtime, and everyone in the building was excited, the band matched and looked hot, and the energy was high.

The lights shut off, the crowd got quiet but excitement was still afoot. The stages lights started flickering different colors in a strobe light pattern.

The entire show Camila was entranced by the younger cuban on stage, the passion in her eyes and voice, the way she looked under this lighting.

It was then that Camila realized it.

Holy crap, I'm in love. I'm in love with Lauren Jauregui! I love her, I can't believe it! I.. wonder if she loves me too?

That thought worried her a little, did she love her too or was it one sided? Was it too early for that or was she just delusional? She pushed her worries aside for the time being and just tried to enjoy the show.

At the end of the concert the crowd's screaming was ear shattering in the best form of praise. Camila loved the new music and the new edge the band presented tonight.

Lauren's family loved the high energy and couldn't help but feel a sense of pride for how far Lauren and the band had come, they were doing what they love and doing well.

The fans couldn't take their eyes off the band, they were hypnotized by the stage presence they had and they were moving to the music the entire concert.

Everyone started filing out, except the Jauregui family, the band, staff and Camila. The staff started cleaning up the place while Lauren's family stood patiently waiting for her to change.

Camila made her way to the younger girl's dressing room and knocked.
"Come in babe." Lauren shouted from behind the door and Camila obeyed, locking the door behind her.

"How'd you know it was me?" Camila asked curiously.

"Special pass baby, they wouldn't have let you back here without it."

"I could have been the guys though."

Lauren chuckled "Oh please, they take longer to get ready than I do." Camila chuckled along with her before Lauren's phone buzzed. "Hold on a sec, my dad wants me to invite Ash, Cal and Anne with us to dinner."

Camila's smile faltered a little knowing that she couldn't have that with Lauren's family, they don't even know she exists. She's hidden away in the dark being the smile on their daughter's face from afar, she wanted to be someone that Lauren could show off but she knew she couldn't right now and it hurt her a little. Her girl has to keep secrets from her family because of her.

"Camila?" Lauren's voice snapped her out of her thoughts.

"Huh? Sorry."

The younger girl's features were blanketed in concern, "You alright? You blanked out."

Camila put on the best fake smile she could manage "Uh yeah, I'm fine babe." She could tell by the raise of Lauren's eyebrow and stern look that she wasn't buying it.

"You wanna try that again?" Camila sighed, she knew her thoughts were stupid but she couldn't shake them, so she spit them out.

"It's just, I can't be that for you. I can't be that person you can take home and introduce to your parents. When I put a smile on your face and you're in front of your parents and they ask 'Who's got you all smiley' I can't be the who, I wanna be, I know you want me to be. But I can't, not without getting us both in trouble."

Lauren stayed quiet for a minute while she let everything process, she wasn't sure what Camila was trying to say. It kind of sounded like she wanted to break up, which Lauren was hoping wasn't the case.
