Heart Of Gold

💐بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم💐

And I wasn't trying

To melt this heart of iron

But the way you hold me makes the old me pass away

And I would be lying

If I said I wasn't scared to fall again

But if you promise me you'll catch me, then it's okay.

Camila's P.O.V.

As Shawn and are walking around town after we left the bar, my phone buzzes with a text in my pocket and I pull it out to find a text from Lauren.

[7:54 p.m.]
Lolo👑: Camz your psychopath stepmother just called to check if you were here

I furrow my eyebrows and type in a reply. That's a first.

[7:54 p.m.]
Me: And what did you tell her?

[7:54 p.m.]
Lolo👑: I told her that we were working on a biology project with a few other girls.

I just love the fact that my best friend and I have identical minds.

[7:55 p.m.]
Lolo👑: she even asked to speak you but I told her that you were in the bathroom

[7:55 p.m.]
Me: good girl! :D

[7:55 p.m.]
Lolo👑: you know me Camz ;)

[7:55 p.m.]
Lolo👑: where are you though?

[7:56 p.m.]
Me: I'm just out in town. I needed to clear my head a bit

[7:56 p.m.]
Lolo👑: oh ok. Be safe and call me once you get home. xxx

[7:57 p.m.]
Me: sure thing Lo xoxo

[7:58 p.m.]
Lolo👑: 😘😘

I lock my phone and shove it back inside my pocket.

"So, how old are you?" I ask Shawn, making an effort to create a conversation. "I'm nineteen." He replies.

"Oh, so you're in college now." I say and he shakes his head. "Actually, I'm not."

"Oh," I say as I look down at my shoes and bite my lip, internally cursing myself for saying that. "sorry." I mutter.

"Nah, it's all good." He smiles and waves me off. "I'm still applying, though."
