Just A Text Away - A Camren Fanfic-

"Lo?"

A long silence filled Camila's ear. She could hear breathing, she thinks. She's not sure though.

"Lauren, is this you?"

Dinah's eyes were fixed upon the phone at Camila's ear and her mouth was hanging half open.

"Lo, please say something.."

A deep breath sounds on the other side of the phone then. "Camz.."

Tears immediately brim Camila's eyes. "Oh my god, it's really you." She whispers, not having heard that voice in over about two months. "Lauren.. I- h-how are- are you okay?"

"Well the dark circles underneath my eyes tell me something different, together with my fucked up dreams. But.. I guess I'm okay." Lauren says, her voice deeper and raspier than what Camila is used to. "I'm even more okay now that I hear your voice." She adds. "How are you, Camz?"

Camila, who is trying her best not to start sobbing, nods and smiles. "I'm good now." She says, making Dinah grin at her as the girl squeezes her hand.

"That's very good to hear." Lauren says, and Camila can hear that the girl is smiling, so she can't help but smile as well.

"How is it in there?"

"Oh just great."

Camila laughs at the sarcasm in the girls' voice and nods. "I can imagine."

"Honestly, they do have great food. That's the only good thing though."

"I didn't expect any less than great food for that celebrity price you're paying for it. What was it 2 million?"

"Yup." Lauren laughs. "I bet they spend a million on food every night. By the way, guess who I met last night?"

"Michael Jackson?"

"Camz, he's dea-"

"Okay okay, I had my hopes okay?"

Lauren's laugh rings through the phone, making Camila's heart make all kind of jumps and twists. "Who was it though?"

"Demi Lovato."

"What!?" Camila blurts out. "Wait, she's okay though?"

"Yeah she came like three weeks ago but was placed on a different department than me, so yeah."

"Please tell me you're BFF's now so that I can hang out with her as well."

Lauren laughs again. "No, sorry." She says then. "But she's hot though, I mean I might try and ask her number or something."

Camila's heart sank then. "Oh." She says, looking down at her black jeans. "Y-yeah."

An awkward silence filled the phone conversation then before Lauren suddenly started laughing loudly into the brown eyed girl's ear. "Oh my god, Camz I'm only joking, you know that right?"

A small smile played on Camila's lips then as she nodded at a confused Dinah. "You're a dick."

Lauren's laughter sounded through the phone once more, so loud that even Dinah started laughing because of it. "Hey Deej, how's it hanging?"

"Good, now that Camila is finally smiling again!" Dinah calls out so that Lauren can hear it. Camila holds her hand up however and gives Dinah an angry look.

"I'm glad to hear you're smiling now." Lauren says in Camila's ear.

"Talking to you makes me happy." Camila says then. "Lo, are you okay though. I heard some shit on the news and it has made me so worried."

Lauren sighs and Camila holds her breath. "I- I'm feeling better now." Lauren says. "I've been clean for two months today."

A smile creeps on Camila's face again when hearing that news. "That's great Lo, congrats."

"Thanks." Lauren beams. "I do have to stay here for a little while still though."
