Camila was just a teenage girl with autism, that's all she was ever defined as. Until she met Lauren, the psychiatrist's daughter and star softball player of her highschool.
Alright so people were confused on Chapter 19 because Shawn said she and then says that he was going on a date with Austin. The point of that was that Shawn was attempting to hide the fact that he liked a boy. Sorry it wasn't very clear. I'm at a camp for special needs individuals so my heart is happy and why I haven't updated yet. Enjoy the chappy and tell me what you think! Side note that I may or may not had forgotten about Camila's stutter quite a while ago.
"He touched me," is the first thing that is said when Camila opens the door to see a soaking wet Shawn standing in the rain. Camila stands there, shocked.
"Can I come in," Shawn ask, stumbling over every word. Clearly very upset over the whole ordeal. Camila nods, letting a wet Shawn in before quickly going and grabbing him a towel. Camila hands Shawn the towel and taps her foot as he dries himself off.
Once Shawn is all dry, he hands the towel to Camila. She folds it neatly before running and putting it on her sink to deal with later. She walks back to find Shawn sitting on the couch in the living room.
"Tell me what happened, Shawny," Camila says quietly, careful not to wake her family up since it is eleven o'clock.
"He reached for my hand without asking and at first it felt okay, but then he started rubbing his thumb. I freaked out on him and ran out of the movie theatre and-" Shawn continues to ramble before Camila cuts him off.
"Slow down, Shawn," Camila says soothingly, not being able to keep up. Shawn smiles apologetically before continuing his story.
"I ran out on him and he probably thinks I'm a freak now Cammy," Shawn says with a frown, letting Camila know that he is deeply upset over this.
"Just explain it to him on Monday," Camila answers simply. Shawn nods, letting her know that he heard her.
"Go shower and maybe you'll be warmer afterwards," Camila tells her best friend caringly. Shawn gets up and goes to Camila's room to shower. Camila hears her phone go off from where she left it on the other side of the couch. She goes to check it and sees a text from Dinah.
Cheechee: CANOLA
Milz: I'm sorry, but I think you clicked on the wrong 'C' name, Dinah. I'm Camila, not Canola. Tell your friend Canola that I am sorry for her unfortunate name, though.
Camila sends the text before following Shawn into her room upstairs. She hears that the shower is still on, so she lays face first onto her bed. Camila logs in to tumblr and is able to re log a few things into her Lolo tag before Shawn comes out of the bathroom in nothing but a towel.
"Clothes," he mumbles, embarrassed that Camila had to see him like this. Camila takes out some of her sweatpants because she only wears the guy sweatpants and a large t-shirt.
"Thank you," Shawn says, his eyes trained to the ground as he walks back into the bathroom. Camila gets back on her phone, but to Instagram instead this time. Figuring that it's been a while since she posted she decided to take a picture.

camila_cabello: I haven't posted in a while, so here ya go...
The replies to her picture came quicker than she expected that they would. Her phone as her friends would say is 'blowing up.'
dinahjane97: Hot damn, that's my bestie
laurenjauregui: I'm so gay.
traviss39: Well damn, think I need to hit that.
Camila laughs at her girlfriend's response to her post, ignoring the one below it. Shawn then walks out of the bathroom, dressed and looking a little better than when Camila had first seen him outside her house.
"Can we write a song," Shawn ask quietly, wanting to get his mind off of what happened earlier.
"I was actually just getting a new song started, I have all the chords done. Just need lyrics," Camila answers excitedly, happy that Shawn seems a little better. They work on the song for a few hours until they hear the doorbell ring. Camila goes downstairs and opens the door to find Troy on the other side.
"Hey, Troy," Camila says, confused because Ally isn't here.
"Hey, Mila. Is Ally here," Troy ask, walking into the house.
"No, she's out with Lauren right now. Ally thought that it'd be good to have 'quality time' with my girlfriend," Camila informs him, poking her fingers through the holes in her oversized sweater.
"I just wanted to warn you of my brother, Travis. I was planning on talking to Ally about it first before saying anything to you or any of the other girls, but since she's not here and you are... He's mentally insane, Camila and he's starting school with you guys next week. I just want you to watch out with him, don't cross paths with him," Troy tells Camila slowly, trying to not scare her.
"I thought your brother was in college," Camila says, confused because that's what her cousin had told her.
"That's a different brother," Troy answers simply.
"Why isn't he going to the same school as you," Camila questions, figuring that he'd go to the same prestigious school that Troy transferred to for his senior year. Troy had switched schools not even a week into their senior year, his parents saying that he could get into better colleges going to that school instead of the high school he'd known the last three years.
"They wouldn't accept him because of his track record, but your high school did. I begged my parents to take him somewhere else, I swear. I don't want to endanger Ally or you, or any of the other girls," Troy says, desperate for Camila to believe that he was being truthful.
"Cammy, you've been gone a while," Shawn says loudly, as he plops down the stairs. He walks into the living room to find Troy standing next to his best friend.
"Hey, Shawn," Troy says, flashing him a smile before turning back to Camila.
"I just wanted to come by and warn you guys, but I better get going now. I'll see you some other time, Mila. Bye Shawn," Troy says before letting himself out of the house.
"I better go too, Cammy. You know how my parents get if I'm out passed my curfew," Shawn states, noticing that it was already 10:30. He walks back upstairs to get his wet clothes, Camila waiting for him where she's been standing. Shawn comes back down the stairs to say goodbye to Camila.
"Bye, Cammy," he says before leaving the house, feeling better than he did when he got there. Camila then decides to go to sleep, seeing that her parents will be home soon and so will Ally.
She falls asleep to hoping that everything will be okay on Monday.
