The exchange (camren) English Version

Chapter 26

Camila's POV

Later, after lunch, I was sitting on the bed, wearing a jacket with my hair tied a little disheveled, writing in my travel diary, I heard two knocks on the open door, I looked up and I saw Lauren.

“Hello?” I said and stopped writing

 “Can I ask you something?” Lauren said

“Yeah” I said and closed my notebook, placing it next to me “come in, the house is yours.”

She came in and sat in front of me, on the bed.

“I kept wondering, why did you help me yesterday?”she asked

“Because you forced me to go where you were.” I answered jokingly

“You could have perfectly let me call my parents and let fuck me up yesterday, but you didn't...” she continued having a point

“Truth is I don't know why I helped you.. something in your gesture of calling them and telling them the truth made me want to do it.”

“You knew I would end up telling them..” she said

“Yes, I knew it. I think I never saw you as bad as yesterday, since I arrived here..I only see you as unbreakable, yesterday I saw that you still have a heart and that there's a salvation in this situation you are... You needed help and you asked for it, that's very nice.”

Lauren looked at me, she kept quiet for a few seconds, then I knew that at least I managed to sow a small seed of happiness inside her and now I just needed to make it grow up, until I meet 'Lauren' Taylor mentionent.

Lauren's POV

And once again Camila gave me a lot to think about...

I left her room a little stunned, the way she expresses herself is simple but incredible.

Every sentence has something behind, something that deep down I know what it is.

I just don't understand why she is getting so wrapped up in me.. with my problems.

I entered my room and I heard my cell phone ring, I ran a little to the dresser to reach it before it stopped.

Keaton's calling
I sat on the bed, pulling away my tennis

“Are you ready to leave today? I have some first hand herbs here.”  Keaton asked

“Can't come Keat, I did my biggest bullshit yesterday. I crashed the car.” I said

“As if you care. See you at nine at the club?” Keaton asked

“I told you no. Things were serious this time.” I asnwered.

“Stop being boring, take a walk over there.”

“I know what I'm saying, not today. It remains for the other."”I answered

 “Fuck you then.” he said and ended the call.

I took a deep breath, running my hand through my hair, knowing the big lie I invented.

If I wanted to leave, no one would stop me, but today, I'm really not eager to do it.

I stayed in the room until night, I prepared a sandwich for dinner and I watched TV, the heat began to invade the room, I opened the a/c and suddenly I saw someone sitting in the garden of ourhouse.

Later than 2 seconds I could identify who is. Camila was in the backyard, already dark, alone, sitting Indian, before I knew I was out of the house.
