Good Things

Chapter 6

"Belle!" Addison yells excitedly upon seeing princess Belle.

Marley was walking silently beside Camila, playing with her new necklace.

"Yeah. That's Belle, would you like to meet her?" Lauren asked softly.

The little girl nods her head and tries to get out of her stroller.

Marley gets distracted and starts to walk away from them, only Camila noticing.

"Marley," Camila called after her daughter.

The teenager doesn't seem to hear her as she continued walking toward a stand that had fried pickles and mozzarella sticks.

Camila sighed. She chases after her daughter.

Shifting on her feet, Marley stares at the menu, jumping when Camila pulls her back into her arms.

"Don't run off like that." Camila said immediately.

Turning around, Marley turns to look at Camila. "I'm hungry."

Camila seemed surprised by Marley's comment.

The line moved forward and it wasn't long until Marley was able to order her food using the meal plan bracelet they had gotten.

Marley collected her small meal and began to eat it.

As they walked, Marley keeps her eyes down. She couldn't look at Camila, when all she wanted to do is kiss her.

Camila smiled as they returned to their family.

"Where'd you go?" Lucy asks in confusion, not having seen them walk away.

"Marley was hungry." Camila said.

The teenager was silent as they began walking again, she was still tired.

They met Belle and Beast and saw the show.

"Mama, I'm going back to the hotel. I don't feel good." Marley says quietly, Camila knew she needed to take a test.

"Do you want me to come with you?" Camila asked softly.

The seventeen year old shrugs. "You can if you want."

Camila looked at Lauren and Lucy. "I don't want her to be alone." She said, hoping Lauren will understand.

Lauren nods her head. "Okay, but call and tell me how she is."

"I will." Camila kissed Lauren's cheek. "I love you."

"I love you too." Lauren says softly.

Lucy kisses Camila gently and smiles at her. "See you when we get back?"

Marley bit her lip and looked away, she couldn't watch them be together like that.

"Yeah." Camila said with a soft smile.

"Can we go now?" Marley asks, she was growing frustrated.

"Okay, calm down." Camila said.

Marley doesn't respond, just walking off.

Camila sighed, she ran her fingers through her hair and chased after Marley.

Marley looks up at Camila as she stops at the bus stop.

Camila sighed. "What's wrong?"

"It doesn't matter." The teenager responds softly.

"Marley, don't do that." Camila said. "Don't shut me out. What's wrong?"

Stepping onto the bus, Marley sits down and looks out the window as Camila sits beside her and grabs her hand.

"Marley, please." Camila begged.
