SpiderMan - Camren

(Lauren's POV)

"Hey, Uncle..."

It was now the day after Lauren and Camila had their first fight as an official  couple. Camila was currently at school and Lauren decided to come visit her Uncle. As for her Aunt, she's at home looking for jobs in the newspaper.

Sitting in front of her Uncle's grave is weird to her. Not in the necessarily "strange" way, but weird in the confusing way. She still couldn't even believe that all of this was real life.

"So-um-I know you're watching me right now"

Lauren knows that to other people, she's talking to herself. But to her, she's talking to her Angel of an Uncle.

"And I know you might be disappointed in what happened with Austin yesterday" Lauren could feel the tears starting to fill her eyes.

Her voice was shaky. She shut her eyes and let a single tear drop down her cheek before she quickly wiped it off. She didn't know what to believe right now. She didn't know whether she should believe in the fact that her Uncle was actually listening right now or not. She opened her eyes and felt another tear roll down her cheek as she opened her eyes back to the sight of her Uncle's grave.

"I don't even know if you can hear me right now" her voice cracked at the end. She wanted to believe that he was listening, but as she stared upon his grave, she couldn't help but think about  how his lifeless body is basically right in front of her.

"I don't know what's going on right now" Lauren laughed bitterly through her tears. She swallowed the lump in her throat and took a deep breath before continuing.

"I want you to know that I let go of Austin because of you... I want you to know that the only good in me is because of you... I want you to know that you're my angel now... It's funny how you never thought that you could be anywhere close to a dad to me when that's all you ever were. So, if you still don't think that you're nowhere close to being my dad. Than I want you to know that you're my angel now. And I love you with every piece of me"

Lauren didn't want to move. But she knew that her Uncle is her angel now and that he's with her wherever she goes.

"Okay" Lauren breathed out, standing up to make her way back to her car.

(Camila's POV)

"You finally gonna tell us about your girlfriend?"

Camila, Dinah, Normani, and Ally all looked back and forth between each other. Going through the hallways was bad enough, with everyone talking about the big fight yesterday. But lunch was proving to be even worst. Sandra and Marielle had been asking her about her girlfriend all day long and they all had to try their best to dodge the questions. But now, they were all sitting at the lunch table and they had no idea how to dodge the questions here.

Camila would obviously love to gush about her girlfriend, but she knew they wouldn't "approve" if they knew about her girlfriend being the one that almost killed somebody yesterday. Luckily, Dinah, Normani, and Ally didn't care much, but Camila knew Sandra and Marielle would just freak out.

"Come on. Can you at least tell us what her name is?" Marielle grumbled. They all shared another look before Camila decided to finally speak up about the matter.

"Her name is Lauren" Camila mumbled, so quiet that they couldn't hear a word she said.

"What?" Sandra asked, squinting her eyes and crossing her arms, visibly annoyed.

"Alright, you know what" Camila sighed, letting go of her fork and leaning back in her chair.

"Her name is Lauren" Camila stated louder this time while crossing her arms. Everyone at the table stared at Camila with wide eyes. Dinah, Normani, and Ally with wide eyes because she actually told them. And Sandra and Marielle with wide eyes because they only knew Lauren as the girl who got in a huge fight yesterday.

"Lauren?" Marielle asked, jaw dropped and eyes still wide from shock. Camila closed her eyes and let out a defeated sigh. She knew the gig was up, now she was just hoping for the best.

"Jauregui" Camila mumbled. Although she mumbled, they actually heard it this time. Sandra and Marielle's eyes widened even more as Dinah, Normani, and Ally just glued their mouth's shut.

"She's worst than Austin, Camila!" Marielle yelled while Dinah, Normani, and Ally just watched the drama go down.

"No she's not!" Camila yelled back, furrowing her eyebrows and letting her arms fall back down to her sides.

"Didn't you see the fight yesterday, Camila?!?" Sandra yelled back. Camila felt her blood boil hearing them say that Lauren's worst than Austin.

"Lauren's not like that!" Camila honestly didn't know what to say to make them believe that Lauren's the sweetest person ever. She knew that it was easy to assume that Lauren was a bad person after that fight, but she wanted people to know that that wasn't Lauren.

"How bout you guys just calm down!" Dinah yelled, making everyone at the table plunge into silence.

"Try meeting Lauren before you make assumptions. Cause the Lauren we met is pretty frickin awesome" Dinah stated, sending an understanding smile over to Camila.

"Dinah's right" Ally said, making Sandra and Marielle let out a huff and lean back in their chairs.

"Well, when can we meet her Camila?" Sandra asked, dropping her arms back down to her sides.

"Friday?"
