One Month (Camren FanFic)

Day 26

Lauren's POV:

Ally's words revolved around my mind all night.

It's not like she suggested I shouldn't marry Luis, she told me I can't and begged me not to. How was I supposed to sleep after a phone call like that one? Ally didn't even give me a proper explanation, the only words coming out of her mouth repeated the same command; "you can't marry Luis."

After an amazing day with Camila showing her around the city and having the deepest conversations I've had in a really long time, I can't deny I had the time of my life. If I was just half as happy as I was yesterday for the rest of my life then I'd feel extremely lucky. Camila brings out the best of me, and every second we spend together makes me feel alive. She has this ability of making me feel so many different emotions at the same time. When we're together, I can just be myself and let it all out, and consequently allow myself to be happy. With Luis, things aren't that easy.

Still, Ally's phone call took me completely by surprise. When I first saw her name on my phone I expected her to ask me something about the party or the accommodations for when she comes to New York, but never in a million years I'd think she'd make me question my engagement like that. I don't think Camila had something to do with it, but I'm having the hardest time trying to imagine why she'd just call me like that out of the blue when she seemed to be okay with my engagement before.

I had already made up my mind, and after some torturous weeks, my friendship with Camila finally went back to normal, but what if Ally's right? What if marrying Luis is a mistake? It's not like I hadn't thought about it before, but the fact that Ally, who has one of the clearest visions of love ever, thinks I can't marry my fiancé, really changes everything.

I can't keep questioning my choice though. If I do, I'll end up going crazy, and fleeing the country and moving to Dubai away from everyone I know until I forget this shit happened. I just can't live like this eternally, but I can't stop thinking about Ally's call either. I mean, there's gotta be a reason why I'm even considering calling off this wedding, even if I had already decided marrying the Brazilian was the only possible choice for me.

The only thing I knew for sure was that having Camila's friendship back in my life is the best thing that has happened to me lately. Setting things straight with my former bandmate is really relieving. Now I can finally be the friend Camila deserves after spending more than a year away from her, and I wouldn't trade that for the world.

Maybe the conversation we had about destiny wanting us to stick together was indeed true, and the fact that it might want us to be together in a different way kinda scares me to death, but in a good way. She just gets me, and that's why she's the only person I wanted to talk to in that moment. I knew Camila was the only one who could actually help me sort my troubled mind, even if she was one of the main reasons for my confusion. I patiently waited for a couple of seconds, and after several beeps, I heard her soothing voice on the other line.

"Hello?"

"Hey Camz, are you busy?" I asked her nervously. Just hearing her voice made my heart beat quicken instantly, even after talking to her on the phone more times than I could ever remember. But I'd be lying if I said things hadn't changed lately. We're not the same innocent best friend we were back in The X Factor. Everyone with a working pair of eyes could see there was a hell of a lot more happening between us than just a simple friendship, even if we had agreed to just be friends.

"No, not at all. What's up?" She answered sweetly.

"I umm... I don't know really." I told her honestly and lay down on my unmade bed. "I just wanted to talk to you, I guess." I added sighing.

"Okay, let's talk then." Camila said easily. "What's going on in that beautiful mind?" She sang softly to the popular song by John Legend and I couldn't help but smile.
