Lagoon (camren)

Chapter 28

Camila PoV
I woke up, smelling the familiar scent of Lauren's hair. I rustled a bit and held her tight, my head buried into her neck. I yawned and kissed her cheek lightly, the light burning my now opened eyes.
I squinted a bit and looked around, seeing tree's and houses. Wait...shit we fell asleep on the roof!
"Lauren!" I whispered, she groaned not opening her eyes. "Lauren wake up, baby" I said with more urgency.
"What the fuck Camz, let me sleep" She said annoyed.
"Lauren, it is morning! And we have school!" I didn't know what time it was, but i knew we had to get up soon.
"Ugh" She opened her eyes and let them adjust, she laughed. "Well i can cross falling asleep on a roof off of my bucket list".
"What if Vero couldn't find us and left for school, we are going to be late" I panicked a bit, not wanting to get another detention.
"shhhh" She put her finger up to my lips, "We will make it on time baby, everything will be ok. And if we did sleep too late, we can ditch and hang out together".
I calmed down a bit and smiled, looking up at her. "Can we please go inside now? I think i have roof burn on my back" I pulled down my shirt which must have rid up in the middle of the night.
"Of course babe" She giggled and i rolled off of her carefully, making my way slowly back to the window.
"Hold on" Lauren crawled past me and into the room, she helped me in, i fell into her arms.
"I'm so clumsy" I remarked as she kissed my lips softly.
"Yeah, but i wouldn't have you any other way". She walked over to the nightstand by the bed and picked up her phone. "It's 6:10 and we leave at 6:50 to get to school. Not too bad".
"40 minutes? I have to get a shower and get dressed and do my makeup" I rambled.
"Babe, you look perfect, just go to school like that"
"I'm sure everybody would appreciate my pajamas, nature smell and red blotchy face" I said sarcastically.
"If they don't appreciate you, they are blind assholes" She took my hand and led me down the hall. "Here is the bathroom, Vero texted saying we could use it, you can get a shower first".
"Thanks hot stuff" I kissed her cheek and watched her walk back down the hall.
I opened the door and saw Vero standing there in nothing but a lacy black thong and matching bra. I stood there in shock for awhile.
"Uh, sorry, i uh should have um knocked" I stammered.
"It's ok, like what you see baby girl?" Vero winked at me and walked towards me.
"Can you not uh flirt with me" I awkwardly said, rubbing the back of my neck.
"Last time i checked, you were the one staring at my body. I was just pointing it out" She confidently said, walking past me, brushing my shoulder on the way by.
Was i really? I mean i guess i was, but wouldn't anybody? She was just standing there, in almost nothing. No, she is just playing with my head, making me think i was staring at her. Damn she is manipulative.
I walked in and got in the shower, getting ready for the day.
At 6:50 we walked out to Vero's car, I sat in the passenger seat while Lauren sat in the back.
"How was your shower?" Vero asked me, smirking as she pulled the car out of the driveway.
"Great" I said looking out the window as she turned on the radio.
"Would have been better if i was there" Lauren called out from behind, i smiled.
"Yeah no shit" I responded.
"You just swore? I feel like i am rubbing off on you" She said.
"Yeah, don't be proud, i'm turning into a rebel child!"
"You guys are almost too cute, it's making me sick" Vero stuck a finger down her throat jokingly.
"Or just jealous" Lauren said.
"Jealous? Nah. I'm not the one who has to run away from their family just so i can be myself. I can't even imagine not being accepted, that sucks" Vero said.
"Want me to fucking strangle you? Don't say shit like that" Lauren snarled from the backseat. I looked in the mirror and say her face, i knew Vero hit a soft spot.
The rest of the ride was silent. I was just glad that Vero hadn't pushed Lauren any further.
Lauren PoV
We finally parked at school and got out of Vero's car. Teenagers glanced our way, the news of me and Camila must have spread like wildfire. I grabbed Camila's hand and smiled.
Vero outing us was actually a good thing as far as school went. Everybody knew not to mess with me, and we could be ourselves in public.
"Shit" Camila leaped forward.
"Did you really just trip on our grand entrance as a couple?" I snickered as she regained her footing.
"Nobodies perfect-"
"Don't even start singing Hannah Montana" I cut her off and we both chuckled.
"Shit..." Camila said again.
"Why are you swearing so much today?"
"Today is the start of the fourth quarter! I have gym this quarter!" Camila said. Our school was weird and we had gym for a quarter, everyday in the quarter each year.
"I do too! Yes! Maybe we will play softball" I gleamed at the thought.
"You are one of those kids who likes gym?"
"Yep, in elementary i was the kid who would yell at everybody who messed up" I said.
"No you weren't! I am dating a monster!"
"I've changed, now i don't try as hard. Don't worry, if we play dodge ball i won't hit you, even if it means losing the game" I shook my head up and down.
"Oh how sweet" She kissed me cheek and i walked her too first period.
"Get excited for gym" I remarked.
"Oh i will" She rolled her eyes playfully.
A few hours later, our gym period rolled around and soon enough we were all on the field in our gym uniforms. I stood with a few mutual friends until i spotted Camila nervously standing alone.
I walked over and grabbed her waist.
"Watcha doing all by your lonesome?" I bit my lip and inspected her beautiful eyes.
"I don't know, but thanks for saving me from looking like a loser with no friends" She looked at my lips then back at my eyes.
"No problem" I kissed her lips, glad that nobody cared about us kissing. I deepened the kiss, until i felt something hard hit by back. I angrily turned around and saw some random guy laughing with his friends. The soccer ball he hit me with was lying on the ground next to me.
"Sorry to interrupt you lesbianess! Please continue!" He snickered with his friends and I picked up the ball walking over to the group. The boy looked a little scared and i smirked.
"I go both ways ya know?" I got close up in his face and he put his hands on my waist.
"Prove it hot mama" He had an annoying grin on his face.
I then hurled the ball at his balls and it hit him with perfect precision.
"By the way, i was kidding, i don't go both ways" I said.
He crouched on the ground and moaned in pain, his friends were laughing and clapping.
"Ever comment about my girlfriend and me again, i will injure every single inch of your boy parts so badly that sex won't even be enjoyable". I watched him wince in pain.
"Fine you bitch" His voice was higher pitched and i walked back to Camila. Everybody's eyes were on me.
"What is going on?" Our gym teacher, Mrs. Brown said as she blew her whistle, running over to us.
"I just hit that douche bag in the balls" I said loudly.
"Excuse me?" The teacher asked again.
"I hit that fucking asshole in the fucking balls, must i elaborate?" I repeated.
"Everybody we are playing soccer" She ignored my comment. "Girls vs. Guys".
We all get set up and ready to play, i watched Camila who was standing on the other side of the field. The coach blew her whistle and the game had begun. I ran as fast as i could towards the ball and got it in my possession I ran it down the field and got close to the goal. I saw Camila was open and kicked it in her direction.
"Ahh!" Camila squealed as she looked confused with the ball . I giggled and a guy quickly took it away from her. She just stood there and i ran over to her.
The rest of the team was on the other end of the field but i didn't care.
"Why'd you kick it to me?" Camila whined.
"Cause i like watching you play sports"
"So you can make fun of me?" She pouted.
"No..." I giggled.
"You are a meanie pants" She kicked my shin.
"Jauregui and Cabello get your asses back in the game!" Mrs. Brown yelled at us as she blew her whistle. She always got really into the games we played.
We ran back to the field and the game kept raging on. It came down to the last few minutes and the guys had the ball. I looked at the idiot i had hit earlier and he kicked the ball at Camila, it flew in her face.
"Sorry!" He said, laughing.
Camila was on the ground, a few girls rushed over to her. I felt my anger boiling up inside of me.
"You did that on purpose dick head!" I walked up to him and pushed him back by his shoulders.
"What if i did? Whatcha going to do about it, dyke" He said. This guy was such an idiot.
I slapped him hard across the face and the teacher came running over. He then swung his hand at me, punching me right in the jaw by my lip. I fell over from the force of the punch and laid on the ground.
I tasted blood on my lip and could feel my jaw aching.
"Matt to the office, now!" The coach called out at the kid, whose name was apparently Matt.
I wasn't one to back down, but this kid had muscle.
"He hit a girl, Oh shit" Everybody was mumbling around me and i felt sick.
A few tears escaped my eyes, even though i tried to hold them back,
I felt some girls help me up and take my to the nurses office. The nurse gave me ice and i put it on my jaw, i sat in a chair. This hurt pretty bad, in more ways then one. Just the way he said dyke, with such hatred in his voice.
"Baby!" Camila ran into the room and hugged me tightly.
"Camz" I embraced her with my arm that wasn't holding the ice.
"Are you ok?" She put her hands on either side of my face, inspecting my injury.
"Yeah, how about you? That soccer ball had no mercy"
"Yeah i'm fine" She giggled and we stood up. "Only you would make a joke when you are in horrible pain".
"I called your parents Lauren, but they refused to come" The nurse said as she walked into the room and shrugged her shoulders.
Of course. Their daughter got punched by a male and they still won't come to see her. This is unbelievable. Have they ever even loved me?
I walked into the hallways, angry.
"Lauren, your parents will come around" Camila caught up to me.
"No they won't Camila! They don't fucking love me! Your parents at least accept you for being gay! My parents hate me, they hate that i'm not perfect!" I yelled. It echoed off of the empty hallway and i felt like bursting into tears.
"Don't say that" Camila placed her hands on my arms and forced me to look at her.
"It's true! Don't you realize that you could just break up with me? Your family would take you back, accept you..love you" I started to cry even though i wanted not to.
"Stop!"
"People are always going to hate us, this is only one punch, just break up with me." I shook my head side to side.
"Leaving you is never going to happen. I love you Lauren. And if you break up with me i might as well be dead. Because i only feel truly alive when i am with you". She pulled me into a hug.

I hugged her back so tightly and just let myself cry into her shoulder. I felt the pain in my jaw, the rip in my lip, the tear in my heart over my family.
How was it possible to be so in love and happy but miserable and depressed at the same time?
All i know is that Camila is the only one who loves me for me, and as long as i live, she will be mine and i will be hers.
