Lauren POV

*The Next Day*

Everything ached when I woke up the following morning. My head was pounding from a migraine and my wrist still burned from the cuts. I figured Dinah is awake already since she is no longer on her side of the bed. I was going to go see Camila today. I was nervous. After everything that happened yesterday. All the emotions. I feel like I would be out of place or something.

I got up lazily and changed into some fresh clothes. I dealt with my morning hygiene and some simple eye liner, eye shadow, and lips. I put my hair in a ponytail and added some spiked collared wristbands on my left arm. Not only is it my favorite accessory, but also to help hide the cuts for now.

I walked to the living room to be greeted by a beautiful Polynesian girl.

-"Hey Lo.", Dinah greeted while hugging me.

-"Hey Dj.", I greeted back with a hug as well.

-"How was your sleep?", Dinah asked.

-"Ok... I guess.", I trailed off.

-"You're nervous aren't you?", Dinah questioned.

-"Hell yeah I am.", I admitted.

-"Don't worry Lo me, Ally, your parents and brother, and Camila's mom will be there to support you.", Dinah said reassuringly.

-"Dinah they don't even understand the situation. I didn't say anything to my parents when I barged in at home. I just went straight to my room and wreck the place, not to mention these.", I showed her my arm.

-"Camila did the same thing. And she tried to kill herself.", Dinah said sadly. She looked at my arm and held it carefully. She tried to run her finger over the cuts, but she immediately stopped when I winced in pain.

-"Lauren these look horrible. Why would you do this?", Dinah asked.

-"I was angry, confused, and... many other emotions. I wasn't thinking and only acted. I haven't did this since the 6th grade. I was doing well while it lasted.", I informed Dinah

-"They still look horrible. You're gonna talk to your parents about all this right?", Dinah questioned again looking at me expectantly.

-"I'm not gonna have a choice. What I'm scared about is that they don't know about Camila and I's relationship. I don't think Camila's mom knows either.", I said.

-"Wait a minute. After all these months they still don't know?", Dinah asked surprised.

-"Yup.", I stated.

Dinah's jaw dropped, but shrugged it off.

-"Do you want something to eat? I got up way earlier and went to eat.", Dinah asked.

-"No... food is the least of worries right now.But thanks", I said.

-"Alright then. Ready to go?", Dinah asked as she grabbed her car keys and opened up the door.

I nodded. I hesitantly moved towards the door and out into the open world. I walked down the stairs and naturally turned towards Camila's front door of her house. Everything that happened yesterday recollected instantly and it felt like know was seeing it replay itself. I saw myself walk out the door with tears flooding down my eyes. I saw myself hurriedly climb up the stairs and barge into my home. Lock myself into my room and destroyed everything that was precious or worth something. I was snapped out of my head by a hand that rested on my shoulder.

-"Lauren? Are you ok?", Dinah asked concerned.

-"Uh... yeah. Sorry, let's go.", I pushed my way around Dinah and hopped into the back seat of Dinah's car.
