Through The Dark (Camren)

Chapter 10: Love Drunk

Lauren's POV

Camila and I have been hanging out pretty much all day every day for the past week and a half. Camila is different then all my other friends. Good different. Being around Camila is like heaven. Camila is heaven. Camila is perfect. Karla Camila Cabello is everything to me. I need her. I want her. I love her.

Camila's POV

Lauren and I have been hanging out every second of every day an it's fantastic. I love hanging out with Lauren and being close to someone besides my six year old sister for once. Lauren has been an amazing friend to me and I love that we can tell each other anything and everything. Lauren is my best friend.

Lauren's POV

"Camzi..?"

"Yeah Lo?"

"Um...there's an end of summer party tonight at my friend's house and I was wondering if you wanted to go..I know you don't really like crowded places and your anxiety is a thing but I'll be with you the whole time and you can meet my friends"

"A party? Like, kids drinking and loud music and crazy stuff happening kind of party?"

"Well if you put it that way it sounds kind of dumb, doesn't it? But yeah, that's what I'm talking about."

"You'll be with me the whole time?"

"Yes Camz I won't leave you."

"Then why are we still talking? I need to choose an outfit Lauren! Gosh, quit distracting me how rude"

Camila's POV

I GOT INVITED TO A PARTY KIND OF! I've never been to a real party! What do I do? What do I wear? What do I say? Do I bring anything? Oh god what am I doing... It's ok, Lauren said she'll be with me the whole time. I'll be ok. I hope.

I don't even know if I have 'party apparel' in my closet. I have lots of collared shirts and dresses but what if I get too dressed up or underdressed? LAUREN HELP ME!!!

"LAUREN WHAT DO I WEAR?"

"Clothes maybe?"

"LAUREN I'M SERIOUS!"

"Me too Camz clothes are important."

"YOU'RE AN IDIOT"

"Ouch Camz. I was kidding. Just wear something casual or whatever."

Lauren was really helpful. She's acting really weird but I guess I'll ask her about it later. I found a pink tank top and a white leather jacket Lauren let me borrow once and some black skinny jeans and converse, I hope that's socially acceptable...should I wear a bow? I need a bow. No I don't. Yes I do. Shit. I put a pink bow in my hair because I felt like it. I curled my hair a little bit and left it down. I put on my makeup and some red lipstick and I was ready for my very first party.

Lauren's POV

I picked up Camila and headed to Dinah's house. Camila looks amazing tonight. I love when she wears leather jackets, especially since the one she's wearing is mine. I wonder if she knows that...whatever probably not. I'm really excited for this party and I hope Camila has fun too. Dinah throws the best parties and I haven't really hung out with any of my other friends since Camila came into my life. I feel kind of bad waiting til the last Friday of the summer to hang out with them but I don't really care to be honest. I'm happy.

We pulled up to Dinah's house and the place was packed. It was only about 8:30 pm but there was already a ton of cups on the lawn and beer bottles everywhere. The music was blaring from the backyard and inside the house. I could feel Camila getting nervous as we walked up to the door and I felt bad. I grabbed her hand and told her it would be ok and I wouldn't leave her alone, and that seemed to calm her down a lot.

Camila's POV

I don't belong here. I'm not like these people. I don't know anyone here. Except Lauren of course. I met her friends Normani and Dinah, but it wasn't much of a meeting since they were both a little drunk and getting turnt to Beyonce. Lauren's trying to find her friend Ally so I can meet her but so far we can't find her anywhere.

Lauren found Ally talking to a boy named Troy, who I guess is her boyfriend, and made her come hangout with me while Lauren got us drinks. I like Ally so far. She's nice and very short. She told me who I would like to talk to, who I should stay away from, the gossip about everyone, the background of herself and Lauren's other friends, and she told me LOTS about Troy. She says they'll get married some day and live happily ever after with their children.

Lauren's been gone for awhile and Ally had to go to the bathroom, which means I'm alone. I'm terrified to say the least. Lauren should be back by now right? I should probably find her.

I pushed through the crowds of people and headed for the kitchen where Lauren went to get us drinks. As soon as I walked into the kitchen I heard Lauren laughing. I ran toward the sound and stopped dead in my tracks when I saw her. She was dancing very explicitly to the music and laughing as people watched her. She was gorgeous. Her hair was the perfect amount of crazy, her makeup was perfect, her t-shirt was clinging to her curves, her skinny jeans were the perfect amount of tight, and her smile was beaming. She looked amazing. Perfect. Stunning. Gorgeous.

Lauren's POV

I'm a little drunk to be honest. I'm not quite sure how long I've been dancing or how long Camila's been watching me, but I love this. I've been pretending to not notice Camila checking me out for awhile but I have to acknowledge her sometime. I looked over at her and she smiles. I signal for her to come dance with me but she says no, so I go to her. She looks at me in shock when I pull her close to me and start dancing again, but I feel her start to relax into it and dance a little herself.

After a few minutes of me dancing on her, Camila started grinding on me. Camila Innocent Cabello was grinding on me. She was doing this really hot thing with her hair when she did it too, and it was driving me crazy. She brushed her hands through her hair and bit her lip with her eyes closed. I think she was either lost in her own world or she was having a lot of fun, or both, but it was amazing.

"Lauren.."

"Yeah Camz?"

"We need to go somewhere. Now."

"Why Camz? Are you okay? Do we need to leave?"

"No Lauren, we need to go to a room or something..."

Based on the fact that we're both drunk I probably shouldn't have listened to he request, but I had to. I grabbed her hand and practically ran to the guest bedroom. Thankfully it was empty. Camila shut the door and turned to face me. I wouldn't tell her this but I was no longer very drunk, in fact I was on the edge of sobriety.

Camila's POV

I told Lauren to get us a room because I realized something while I watched her dance. Maybe it was the alcohol, the music, the sudden confidence I felt tonight, or just a sudden feeling, but I felt something for Lauren. Something more than friendship, more than best friendship, more than anything. I needed Lauren in that moment.

When we got up to the room I closed the door and turned to look at Lauren. I started walking towards her and when I had finally reached her I grabbed her waist with my left hand and swept some of her hair off of her face with my right. Her eyes were full of something I had seen them full of before, but I only now realized what it was. Love. She started to open her mouth to say something but I couldn't let her do that right now. I wanted this comfortable silence with Lauren. It was different than all of our others. I craved this moment between us and it needed to be a moment of pure us. When she was about to speak I pulled her closer to my and I stopped her with my lips on hers. I kissed her gently, and she melted right into it. her arms wrapped around me and we stayed like that for what felt like a perfect eternity. I don't know what brought me to this moment, but I guess you could say we're both a little love drunk.
