LAUREN

"Hey, Lo! You're just in time Mani and I prepared everything for our movie night! Junk food, pizza, alcohol... what's wrong?"

I forced a smile and told Ally nothing was wrong.

"Then tell that to your face." Ally put the wine, cheetos, and pizza on the counter. How did she manage to carry all that? I thought while she was probably examining my face.

"Stop staring at me, Ally!" I said covering my face with my both hands. I peeped through my fingers and she was still staring but didn't say anything. "What? Just say it, Als."

"Did you do it?" Ally asked.

"Did what?" I asked confused.

"Broke up with Ty."

I told Ally two weeks ago that I was going to break up with Ty after Normani saw him at bar making out with a girl. Which was obviously not me because I was at home when Mani left the house. Ally insisted that I should have broken up with him the same  night Mani told me, but somehow I couldn't do it. I told her that I would wait for Ty to come clean and tell me he was cheating. It was a stupid idea I know even Mani and Ally had told me a million times how stupid it was. "How can a person be so smart and stupid at them same time?" "Get out of your funk, Lauren he was cheating! Nobody tells when they cheat! Do you expect him to say "hey I made out with a girl at a bar, I'm sorry." No one does that Lauren! Tell him you already know!" These were just some of the things Mani and Ally told me to convince me to break up with Ty. Still, I made them think that I was stupid because I needed time to realised that I wasn't hurt when I found out he cheated. I waited for two weeks to feel anything that was close to anger but I didn't instead I felt kind of relieved that he gave me a reason to finally break up with him. And I think I would've broken up with him still if even I didn't find out he was cheating.

Why? It's Camila, that's why.

That pain in the ass had always on my mind this past few weeks. Yes, I avoided her for three weeks but I did that to sort out my feelings towards her.

I finally did and I realised how did I survived not talking to her for that long. I missed her so much. I tried to talk to her but I was too much of a pussy to make a move. When I was about to talk to her I always chickened out and ended up just staring at her. And when I saw her at the parking lot earlier today I was glad I had an excuse to finally talk to her. We had a great talk I mean we always have a great talk because Camila was so damn charming and funny.

A great conversation that should've ended with us kissing, but Camila pulled back.

Why didn't she kiss me? She was about to but didn't maybe she realised she didn't like me anymore. God, I was too late!

"Lauren! What the hell? Are you that upset about Ty?"

I snapped back to now and realised Mani was now standing next to Ally her arms crossed.

"She didn't do it, she was too much of a pussy to break up with Ty. Give me 10 bucks, Mani." Ally whispers to Normani that I could clearly hear.

"Later, Ally! I'm not giving up with that dumbass I know she would. I still believe in her." Normani turned to Ally and "whispered"

"You do realise I'm not deaf, right?" I said rolling my eyes at them and reach for the bag of cheetos that was snatched away before I could even touch it.

"No eating until we watch! You know the rules, Lo." Ally smirked at me before walking to the living room with all the food. "Deal with her Mani I'm gonna start the movie so I could eat already." I shook my head at Ally's antics.
