"Lauren are you sure you're okay with staying here?" James ask for the millionth time.

"Yes James I told you it will be fine." Lauren smiles. She tiredly walked into Camila's house. It was fairly large just for one person.

"I got you a phone. My number and Kiana's number are already programmed into it." James hands Lauren the phone.

"I don't know how to use this." Lauren says. James laughs.

"Yea I forgot. It's not hard though." James says.

"I'll show you to your room if you're ready." Camila says calmly. She had a bag around her shoulders. Lauren assumed it was full of medical supplies.

"Yes I'm ready." Lauren said goodbye to James and followed Camila into her new room.

"So this is the room you will be sleeping in. It has a bathroom and a balcony." Camila points to the balcony. "Umm I'm going to be downstairs getting diner ready."

Camila walked out of the room and Lauren was finally able to breathe. She hadn't realized how hard it was going to be, just standing by Camila and trying not to kiss her. Lauren didn't have anything to unpack so she decided she would look around. Lauren walked out of her room and into another.

The room was painted a dark blue, with a stripe of white going down the middle. Everything in the room was neat, and organized. Lauren was about to leave when she heard a creak in the floor. Before she could think she had turned around and pinned Camila up by her neck.

"Lauren." Camila says. She had a shocked look on her face. Lauren quickly let go.

"Sorry Camz." Lauren says.

"Camz?" Camila ask.

"Oh yeah sorry about that." Lauren says quietly.

"No it's okay it's different." Camila smiles. "I came to tell you that dinner is almost ready and that I have extra clothes for you."

Lauren nods her head. She was still on edge for some reason. She had no idea why she just got so defensive.

"Yea I think I need to shower." Lauren says. Camila opens a drawer and hands Lauren clothes to wear.

"I'll be downstairs if you need me." Camila walks out of her room and back to the kitchen. Lauren walks back to her room and into the bathroom.

She turned the water on and got undressed. When she stepped into the shower she felt relief wash over here. It felt like she hadn't took a shower in years. She allowed the water to run over her body. She took a minute to just breathe and think. She missed her life even if it was fake she wanted it back.

"Lauren are you okay in there?" Camila ask. It had been a hour and Lauren was still in the shower.

"Yeah I'm fine." Lauren says. Truth be told she is far from being fine.

"Okay. Dinners ready so I'll be waiting." With that Camila left. Lauren stayed in the shower a little longer before she got out. Lauren walked downstairs and to the dinner table. Camila was  sitting.

"Sorry for keeping waiting." Lauren says. She took a seat right across from Camila.

Camila hadn't cooked much but Lauren didn't care. She would eat anything Camila cooked.
