Camila's POV

I was looking at the door closing for a few seconds, I was lost in thoughts when she opened and I got scared.

“Calm down, calm down, it's me.” She said with her hands up, as if she was surrendering.

“I apologize Tay.” I said with my hand over my heart “I got scared.”

“I noticed. My mom sent me to bring you this.” she gave me an ointment “she told me that you got hit” she came close to look at my arm “that's not a mark of any blow neither here nor in China.” she said with a serious tone.

“I argued with your sister.” I sighed.

“I don't believe that this idiot had the courage to do that. I'm going to kill Lauren.”

She was heading towards the door,
but I ran to her, preventing her.

“Don't do anything, I hurt her too.”

Taylor: “ ”with all the right after what he did to you.”-he looked at me- “ ”that does not change anything Camila, she can not do this.“ ”

-“ ”Lauren apologized, I accepted, then finished. -“ ”I went back to bed

Taylor shook her head, unhappy at not being able to hit Lauren.

Taylor:“ ” What you did today was incredible. “ ”-he smiled- “ ”thank you for not having left her there.“ ”

-“ ”I did not do it for her, I did it because I was not going to let her hurt you, little sister. “ ”I smiled, Taylor hugged me.

Taylor:“ ” thank you very much. he said when we let go.“ ”

I smiled for her and winked at her, she sat next to me and we talked, until we heard three knocks on the door, then a scream.

“Dinner is ready.” Lauren said, and we noticed.

Taylor got up and I followed her to the living room. The dinner was silent, Lauren didn't look at me once, she didn't look at anyone, she just sat down and ate.

“Can you pass me the salad?” she asked with her hand stretched to Lauren.

She didn't move.

“..please ” She said, already impatient. Total silence..

“LAUREN!” she screamed.

She looked up at Taylor.

“What is it?” Lauren asked.

“The salad Lauren” she said tired
“give it to me”.

Very slowly she took it and handed it to Taylor, who was already irritated at having to wait so long.

“...thanks.” she spoke in her own silence.

Taylor rolled her eyes and ignored her, keeping quiet, eating, like all of us.

“Mila, do not you want to call your parents?” Clara asked “You only called them the first day you arrived.”

“No it's okay. I don't want to cause so many expenses.” I said and  looked at her
“also, I talk with them every day, by email.”

“When you want to call, don't hesitate to do it.”she said sympathetically.

“thanks, when I feel the need, I will call.” I smiled, going back to eating.

We were silent for a while longer, until Lauren finished eating and left the table, then we all did the same.

“I'm full.” she leaned back on the couch.

“She says she's satisfied, Taylor.” Michael corrected her.

“Well, she is..” she spoke with her hand on her stomach.

“I still have space for a candy...” he smiled, heading to the kitchen.

We kept silent, watching the news on television, sometimes commenting something or talking about different issues.

Some time later they all went to sleep, except me. I'm not used to this schedule, much less with the habit of everyone here going to sleep early, so I stayed in the room, looking for a movie.

I was sitting on the couch, when I heard the sounds of someone coming down the stairs.

“Taylor, is that you?” I asked, not looking to check.

Silence.

Everything was completely silent again, until I felt someone behind me, I turned to see who it was and then ...

“AAAAAAAHHHHH!” I screamed, scared to see Lauren behind me “why didn't you answer when I asked who was there?!”

She turned around and came to sit next to me.

“Because I'm not Taylor.” she shrugged. one

“And why didn't you tell me that?”
I said looking at her

“I just told you.” she said

“Before you scared me..” I sighed

“It's not my fault if you get scared easily.” she said taking the control of my hands

“Do you want to watch the political propaganda?” she raised her eyebrows, down the channel that was on the television.

“I don't get scared easily. I said between gritted teeth “no, not really.” she said and I sighed

“hmm, let me see what's good here”
she began to change the channels, slowly looking at each one, until she stopped at one of them.

“This is good...” she smiled, watching television.

I took me a few seconds to realize what channel I was on...

“Lauren, I'm not going to watch pornographic movies.”

“Then cover your eyes.” she told me and gave me a victorious smile.

“Changed the channel, now!” I ordered, but she ignored me “Lauren, change it” I said on the side, in order not to watch television, but the sounds that came from her were unbearable.

“Look, look, look...” she said with her eyes fixed on the screen.

“I'm not going to lose anything good.
That channel is already changing..” I said

“When it will finish, imma change it.” She looked at me quickly.

“Can you give me the control? I will stretch my hand..” nothing happened “give me the fucking control.” she continued ignoring me

Before I knew it, I was on her trying to take control of her hands, but her arm is bigger than mine, which prevents me from reaching her.

“Come on, baby, take it if you're capable...” she challenged me

I put my hand on her leg, to push my body up, but still I could not, after a while, I realized that she wasn't watching TV anymore, she was too busy leaving me upset... but there's more than that..
she was laughing, really, without ironies,
a beautiful laugh.

“Do you give up?” she said when I stopped.

“Never.”

I came back on top of her, but now Lauren placed the control inside her pants.

“Hey, that doesn't count.” I said and made a pout.
