The New Girl (Camren)

Chapter 27

This is dedicated to @babycakesandboobear because she helped me come up with this idea for this chapter and she's an amazing writer. Please read her cake fanfiction called "A Love Like War"

Lauren's POV

I couldn't believe how much my life had changed as soon as Camila and I were separated. I love her so much and my heart is broken because of the situation that we are in.

"So what's this idea?" I repeated again, not able to wait any longer.

"Ok. Let me finish before you call me crazy or anything. It's just an idea. My cousin's friend has been into me for a few years and he used to always ask me out until I told him to leave me alone and that I didn't like him. He finally listened after awhile. My cousin has not stopped telling me how much this kid likes me to this day. His name is Justin and obviously, he is not my type. So I will lie to my mom and tell her I'm over you and that I want to date Justin. I'll get my cousin to have him ask me out on a date and I'll go, but don't worry I won't let him do anything babe. I'll hangout with him a few times and then explain to him that I don't think it will work out. My mom will be so happy about me dating a boy and she won't worry about us hanging out anymore," she explained in detail before exhaling.

"That's a great idea! So just a few dates with no strings attached, then we can hangout again and show your mom that we're "over" each other, right?" I asked excited.

"Yeah and then if this goes on for months and she doesn't realize we're still together, we can tell her we have been together this whole time and she will believe we really do love each other and aren't confused about our feelings," she thought out loud.

"Camz that is an excellent idea," I squealed as she pulled me into a hug and kissed the top of my head.

"Ok, good. I'll call my cousin tonight and set everything up with that dork Justin. I haven't seen him since I was thirteen!" she laughed.

We both joked and laughed about how the date would go before Camila got hold of my hand and swung our hands back and forth as we walked down the hidden trail, which was vacant, to my house.

"No one is home because my parents are at work and Taylor has tutoring. You know Chris is almost never home also. He's probably hanging out with friends," I said.

She just nodded and stared at me for awhile before beginning to speak.

"I love you," she smiled.

"Aw. I love you too!"

After a few more minutes, we reached my house and ran inside. 

"So what do you wanna do? Wanna watch a movie?" I asked casually.

"I have a better idea," Camila smiled as she threw me down onto the couch.

"I know what this is about and I'm not disagreeing, but not here. We can go up to my room," I suggested smiling.

"Sounds good to me," she smirked.

We ran up the stairs as if there was a prize waiting for us, but I knew the only prize within my reach that I really wanted was Camila. 

"You have no idea how much it hurt to resist you that night," Camila spoke low.

I just smiled and nodded before she threw me down on my bed and hopped on top of me.

"I'm in love with you Lauren," she said once again before kissing me.

"I'm in love with you too Camila," I whispered in her ear.

She grabbed my face gently and kissed me over and over again, before our tongues began to wrestle each other. I pushed some of the hair away from her face and kissed her neck softly. 

I shifted, causing her to fall off of me and lay next to me. I pulled her into a big hug after kissing her a few more times. 

"Can we do this forever?" she asked smiling from ear to ear.

"Of course we can," I replied as I kissed her forehead.

We talk for awhile about how nothing can break us and about how we can survive anything. 

After about an hour, I decid I should get going before my mom gets suspicious, and Lauren agrees. I walke home which only takes me about 5 or so minutes and then text my cousin about how I want to go on a date with Justin.

Of course being the amazing wing man that he thinks he is, he replies right away.

From: Liam

So now you want him? jk he will 100% agree to this. I'll tell him to text you.

I laughed at my cousin's response and text him back to thank him. Within one minute, I hear my phone ring.

From: Justin

Hey Camila. Heard you wanted to hangout. How about Friday? I wanna see a horror movie if that's ok with you. Let me know what you think.

I texted him back quickly and told him I was up for anything fun. Lauren loved my idea and after all, what was the worst that could happen? He may realize he doesn't like me, but it won't affect me at all. I'm in love with Lauren Jauregui and no one can get in the way of that.

I realized I should tell my mom about this, otherwise there wasn't a point to my plan.

In a way, I feel bad for using Justin. But at the same time, I need to do this in order to save Lauren and I's relationship. 

"Mom!" I yell to get my mom's attention.

"Yes, Camila?" she responds curiously.

"I wanted to let you know that I am definitely over Lauren. Since I want to date new people, I have agreed to go on a date with Justin, Liam's friend, and offically move on," I lie the best I can as I smile through the pain.

"Aw, Camila! I told you it wasn't a normal relationship. Justin is a very nice boy and I know he will treat you right. It's time to move on and I'm happy you're over her," she tries to explain without even using Lauren's name.

I just nod and run upstairs to my room, bursting into tears. I hate that I have to hide the truth from the people that I love. She just doesn't understand. Why can't she accept me as I am? 

I cry for awhile, thinking about how I really don't want to go on this date. The things I need to do just to hangout with Lauren are ridiculous. Why was it such a crime to like her?

I dreaded Friday and going to the movies with Justin. However, I was willing to do anything to save my relationship, including that.

How will the date go with Justin? Will Lauren really not mind at all? Thanks for reading. I'll update ASAP.
