Solely (Camren)

Chapter 4

"Go in."

Lauren lowered her window a bit more, and stuck an elbow over the edge. She watched as Camila climbed out of the car, and ambled forward on a paved sidewalk.

"Thank you for the ride - "

"Lauren, go walk her to her door!"

A glaze flashed over Lauren's eyes, and she remained affixed to her seat. Liam let go of the steering wheel, and opened the door handle to her side. Lauren's arm fell from the window and she sighed greatly. He ejected her seat belt, and gave a small nudge to her as he hissed.

"Go!"

Camila started fretting.

"It's fine! You guys already gave me a ride and everything! I'll just - I'm going now!"

She scampered up to her apartment's entrance, and tripped forward on a fallen leaf. She got up again frantically, and waved her arm once before disappearing inside.

Liam still had his body leaned over to Lauren, and he tilted his head to meet her eyes.

"Why didn't you walk her to her door?"

"What do you think about Camila?"

Ariana spat out her drink, and mindfully wiped a foamy dribble off her chin.

"Why?"

"Just asking."

No one else was at the soccer field, as it was a weekend, but that did not stop Ariana from dragging Lauren out.

Lauren nonchalantly drank from her can, and a breeze swept her hair. She dangled her feet over the bench, and hunched her shoulders. Her voice echoed as she spoke into her can.

"What do you think about her?"

"She's... pretty?"

"Looks like you're the stupid jock."

"What?"

"Nothing. Do you like her?"

Ariana lowered her can to her feet, and swung her feet gently as well.

"No... I don't really know her. Besides I like someone else..."

Lauren raised an eyebrow and lowered her can.

"Who?"

Ariana flushed and jerked her head into a shake. She hopped off the bench and inspected her shorts. She rubbed its textured cloth and answered Lauren.

"I'll tell you later."

"Just tell me now!"

"Later - c'mon, we should start practice."

---
"Back already?"

"Ari promised it would only be a few hours."

Lauren took off her sweater, and shot it across the room. Harry looked on disapprovingly at the careless act, but resumed to his reading. Lauren walked to the cabinets, and rummaged around for a bottle of water.

"Where's Zayn?"

"Out with Liam."

"Where - "

"HEY! It's you!"

Lauren whipped her head around and before her stood Louis. Harry's chair creaked as he twisted his torso and questioned earnestly.

"You two know each other?"

Louis put both hands onto Lauren's shoulders and smiled broadly.

"Sure, we do! My sisters know her - Camila and Sofi! You never told me Lauren was your sister!"
