"Dinah?" she says, not looking up, sobbing in her hands. Fuck is all I can think at this very moment. I decided to comfort her and talk to her even though she hasn't noticed that I'm not the one she wants at the time. "Lauren, what's wrong? Are you okay?" I say while hugging her tightly. We may not be talking to each other but I know when I have to put my pride to the side and help others, even those who did me dirty. "Y-Y/n?" she says sobbing on my shoulder. "Im here, don't worry." I say rubbing her back then pulling back from her, wiping the tears that were running down her face. "Let's go inside to the living room, I'll help guide you." I say while guiding her to Dinahs living room. Once we sat down, it was quiet. There was still tension and may I just say this shit is hella awkward and I'm so uncomfortable. 

"What happened Lauren, why are you upset and crying?" I ask pulling her into my chest to her comfort her. "C-Camila" she says, crying even more than before. I should've known that it had something to do with that girl. She always used to pick on Lauren and give her a hard time. Why did Lauren even hang out with her. "Lauren, mamas, you have to more specific." I say pulling away to look at her face. "C-Camila got hit by a car again." she says (lol, sorry I just had to. Those of you who know, you a real one). Oh shit, I wasn't expecting that. I thought she was gonna say that Camila broke her heart or sum shit. "Oh mamas, it's okay. Im sure she's gonna be okay. Don't worry about it." I say, helping Lauren to lay down on the couch since she looked like she didn't get much sleep lately. "How did you find out?" I ask hoping that it's not too early to ask her. "I got a call from her mom last night saying that she got in an accident. I tried to go to the hospital but they wouldn't let me see her." she says slightly calming down. I suddenly start to feel the back pocket of my jeans vibrate, I start to reach for my phone and see that Dinahs calling me. 

You                                Dinah

Where are you, you're taking freaking long. Im gonna start to play the damn movie if you take longer. 

Dinah, get yo damn ass down stairs. 

Why?

Just get down stairs. 

And with that I decided to hang up the phone. I looked down and started to play with Laurens hair and she started to look at me. "You should get some sleep, it looks like you haven't slept in a while." I say wiping tears that were still on her face. "I haven't, bu-" "Y/N, WHY THE HELL DID YOU HANG THE PHON- Oh, hey Lauren." she says not noticing that Lauren was crying. Once Dinah got close enough to see Laurens face clearly, she starts to get worried. "Lauren, are you okay? Im sorry I didn't mean to yell. What happened?" she says quickly. "Dinah, I'll explain later. Right now Lauren needs to get some rest, she hasn't slept at all." I say while trying to get up to make Lauren get more comfortable on the couch. "Lauren, get some rest, we can talk again later. I love you so much and I hate seeing you sad and exhausted." I say while getting the blanket on the other couch. I decided to to cover Lauren and after 5 minutes, she fell asleep. "So what happened?" Dinah whispers as we went to the kitchen. "Apparently, Camila got hit by a car." I say while sitting on the stool. "Again?" Dinah asks grabbing two bottles of water from the fridge then handing me one. "Am I the only one who doesn't know about the first time." I say while opening the bottle of water to take a sip from it. "Y/n, this is the fourth time she had something happen to her that dealt with a car." Dinah says getting sad.

"Okay, spill. Whats going on with you and Lauren? Why are you both so close to Camila now? Like did I miss something over break? How did yall get so close to each other?" I ask all these questions at once, completely confused about what happened. "I don't think you're gonna want to know." Dinah says averting her eyes to the wall. "Spill. I want all the details." I say in a serious tone. "Well, you already know that Lo, Mani, Als, Camila and I are in a band right?" Dinah starts. "uh huh and?" I say looking at her face to see if she would lie to me. "Well, idk, Lauren and Camila started to have feelings for one another and one thing lead to another and BOOM. You have Camren." Dinah says making me confused. Lauren used to always talk about how she hated Camren and that it wasn't real. ever. Now there is a Camren and Im just.... baffled.

"I thought Lauren hated Camren and I thought she didn't like Camila." I say confused. "Y/n the only reason she said that was because you don't like Camila and as your best friend, she always took your side and now that she's in a relationship with her or whateva. She's following her heart and you know how it is to love someone. You'd do anything for them even cut out friendships with your best friend that you love with all your heart." Dinah says, giving me an apologetic look. I don't respond and just start to stare at a blank wall, thinking about all those times that Lauren did show that she liked Camila but I just ignored them because I didn't want to believe it. "Why don't you like Camila?" Dinah asks, rubbing my arm to get my attention. "I didn't say that I didn't like her." I say, looking down to the ground, ashamed that I made Lauren feel like she couldn't be with someone she wanted. "Y/n, be honest, I know you don't like her. Tell me the truth, we're best friends and don't keep shit from each other." Dinah says sternly. "Theres a lot of shit I don't tell yall." I murmur, playing with my hands. "What?" Dinah asks, lifting my face up so she could see me.

"Nothing, Dinah" I say, starting to get angry at the fact that she wants me to tell her things I don't want to. "Y/n, just tell me, you know you can trust me. Stop being so secretive. You used to be hella close friends, almost best friends with Camila and one day you just started to hate her." Dinah says looking a little hurt and getting angry too. "OK THEN, IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW. I DON'T LIKE HER BECAUSE I ALWAYS KNEW THAT SHE LIKED LAUREN AND AT THE TIME I LIKED LAUREN TOO. I DIDN'T WANT HER TO HAVE LAUREN, BUT I ALSO KNEW THAT LAUREN LIKED HER BACK AND IT HURT. IT HURT SEEING LAUREN LOOK AT SOMEONE THE WAY I USED TO LOOK A HER. IT HURT THINKING THAT I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO BE WITH HER AND IT WAS EVEN HARDER FOR ME BECAUSE LAUREN WAS MY BEST FRIEND SINCE WE WERE IN DIAPERS AND I DIDN'T WANT TO RUIN OUR FRIENDSHIP. I DIDN'T WANT TO LOSE MY BEST FRIEND TO SOMEONE ELSE OR EVEN FOR A STUPID RELATIONSHIP THAT I DIDN'T KNOW HOW LONG WOULD LAST. The thing that hurt the most was the fact that even though I didn't do any of these things like date Lauren and make them date, I still lost my best friend in the end." I whisper the last part, sobbing into my  hands. Someone starts to hug me from the side and I turned to see that it was Lauren. "Im so sorry." I say sobbing in her shoulder. "Its okay, Y/n. I forgive you and I love you so much, more than you'll ever know." She says hugging me tighter. Dinah starts to hug me from the other side and I start to break down even more, repeating "Im so sorry." to the both of them.
