Lost (Camren)

Chapter 5

*Lauren's POV^

The week seemed to go by soo slow. it seemed like the days were extra long. I don't know why it felt like this, but I wanted the week to end already. 

I've tried to look for the girl and ask her if she is going to the party. I really want to get to know her she seems nice, Not mention cute and attractive. Oh what am I kidding she is probably straighter than who knows what.

"Lauren!" Ally waved her hand in my face. "Helloooo" I smacked it outta my face. 'What?" She chuckled. "Who ya thinkin' about?"  "No one." I took a bite of my chicken sandwich. Dinah spoke up. "I bet you its that girl you told me about." Normani's eye widened. "How come I don't know about this!" "Yeah!" Ally joined. I gave Dinah a death stare. She smiled at me and I rolled my eyes.

"Its no one guys. Just a girl who gets picked on and I want to be her friend." "More like girlfriend" Dinah whispered to Normani but loud enough for me to hear. "Dinah, shut up." She laughed "It's the truth!" "No it's not." Ally spoke up. "Either way. I think it's a good idea to be her friend. I mean maybe she needs one since you said she gets picked on. And while you are at it make a move." She winked at me. "Oh my god. No okay. I don't want a relationship right now.  Plus she is probably straighter than a ruler"

"Maybe so, but it might change." Dinah said giving me a wink I rolled my eyes and playfully punched her arm. "Ouch!" "I didn't hit you that hard cry baby" She rubbed her arm. "Still hurt. For that I will take your pudding." I shrugged. "Take it. It's gross." She stuck her tongue out at me.

Crazy.

*Camila's POV*

It was Friday and I still was surprised I was invited to the party. I had a feeling green eyes had something to do with is. I wasn't sure if I should go or not. I'm not a party girl I rather sit in my room with a book and my ear buds in.

Maybe one party wouldn't be bad. Just to see what it is like. I went to the kitchen. "Mami?" My mom looked up from what she was reading, "Yes, mija?" "Um, is it okay if I go out tonight?" She put down her book. "Estas bien?" I looked at her confused. "Why wouldn't I be okay?" "I'm sorry it's just that you never go out!" I sighed. "Well I'm sure it won't hurt." She smiled at me. "Yes, you can." I smiled and gave her a hug. "I love you stay safe." she kissed my head. "I love you too"

The address I was given was not to far from my house so I chose to walk. I could hear the loud music from a distance. Well obviously this was a party. There were people walking in and out of the house. I reached the steps and a guy offered me a red cup. I assume it had alcohol. "No thanks" I told him and went in.

There were a lot of people, many I didn't even recognize. some were dancing. Others making out almost having sex. There were a bunch of drunk people. Everyone was in groups talking and laughing. I have no clue why the hell I came.  I could be reading right now. 

Just then I felt a cold liquid being dumped on me. "Oh. my bad. I did not see you there." Andrea. Yeah. I should of stayed home.  I just looked at her. "What a surprise you are here I thought you would be home cutting yourself." A few people had noticed her. They laughed. At the word 'cut' my hand brushed over my thighs.

I guessed her noticed. A smirk formed on her face. "Ohh, I bet that you do. Is that why you never change for gym class. huh?" I was wrong about it not hurting to go out. More people were crowding around. "Well you know Camila. You should go home and cut some more,  After all no one cares or likes you." I could feel tears building up. She laughed. "Aw poor baby is crying." Everyone laughed. "All you can do is cry. You are such a failure. Worthless ugly failure piece of shit."

I couldn't take it anymore I ran out of there.

*Lauren's POV*

I noticed a crowd forming around something. I nudged Normani. "Hey look" I told her. She pulled me over. "It's that girl and Andrea" she told me. And sure enough it was. I felt anger come over me. "All you can do is cry. You are such a failure. Worthless ugly failure piece of shit." She told her. And the girl ran out. I pushed people out of my way. "Lauren what are you doing!" Normani called out. I ignored her and went to Andrea.

I pushed her. "Does it really make you feel better by putting others down that way?" I said getting closer to her. "And if it was, so what?" She said with a smirk on her face. I smacked her across the face. "Then you need mental health and a new personality. Bitch." everyone ooo'ed. She tried to hit me back but I caught her punch and shoved her back causing her to fall. 

I looked at her and ran out to try and catch up with the girl.

I wasn't sure what way she went so i took the direction I my gut told me. And sure enough I saw her in the distance crying. I ran to her. "Hey" I said. She looked at me and hid her face. "Hey it's okay it's just me." i tried to hug her but she pulled away. "Leave me alone!" She yelled. "I'm not leaving you crying like this." I told her. She gave me her back. "What do you care. No one does" she sobbed. 

It tore me to see her like this. "Well news for you I do."  She shook her head. "No you don't, You pretend to. Why would you care about me. I'm worthless good for nothing ugly. I shouldn't even be here.!!" She yelled. I grabbed her shoulders. :Stop. Okay stop. Look at me." I raised her chin so she could see me. Her brown eyes were full of her and sadness. It made me want to cry.

"You  are not worthless. You are from that. And don't say you are ugly. Look at you, you are so beautiful. Your brown eyes and your hair it makes you perfect. Don't listen to what people say to you. They just put you down because they know they will never be as good of a person like you. They are jealous of how amazing you are. I am not saying this to make you feel better. I'm telling you this because you need to be reminded of the truth. Someone does care and that is me."

She cried even harder. She buried herself in me. I held her tight.  After a long time she calmed down and looked at me. "Why do you always defend me. Why did you come looking for me?" She asked. I smiled down at her. "I told you. I care about you.." A small smile appeared on her face. "I don't know how to thank you." "Nah. It's okay. I just want to be your friend." She smiled. 

I walked her to her house. "I hope you feel better. Remember someone does care." She smiled and nodded. "Thank you again. Really." "Like I said it's alright you don't need to thank me." She smiled and gave me a hug. My heart skipped. "hey if you are going to be my friend I need to know what your name is." She nodded "Right, I'm Camila."
