The New Girl (Camren)

Chapter 29

Camila's POV

I spent Saturday locked up in my room, staring out of my bedroom window. I ignored all of Lauren's texts and calls despite how worried she was and I feel terrible. I haven't eaten since Friday and I'm beginning to feel a bit light headed.

Tiptoeing to Sofi's door, I realize I can't hide from Lauren forever and that really frightens me. I knock on the door a few times before hearing running approach it quickly as she opens the door. She's wearing her favorite Nemo pajamas and a pair of blue fuzzy socks.

"Hey. Wanna play?" she looks up at me smiling.

"Not now, Sofi. Maybe another time. Can you do me a favor?"

She nods her head sadly, dissapointed that I did not want to play with her.

"Can you go downstairs and get me a banana? I'm not feeling too well," I whisper so that my mom won't hear.

My mom is getting ready to go somewhere, but I don't know where. It doesn't matter to me at this point.

Sofi dissapears downstairs and returns a few minutes later with a banana and a glass of water. She is the cutest and sweetest little sister in the world.

"Thanks Sofi. You're the best," I take the items and pull her into a tight hug so that I can tickle her.

"Hahaha. Mila!" she laughs and begs me to stop.

I let her go and she runs back into room.

Sitting on my bed, I eat the banana and drink some water, which makes me feel a bit more stable. I pick up my phone to find 13 missed calls from today and they're all from Lauren. 

There is also a text message.

Camila pick up the phone! I haven't talked to you since Friday and I'm worried sick about you. 

I cringe at the thought of her calling me Camila. She must be really worried.

I crawl back into bed and close my eyes, causing me to fall asleep rather quickly.

A few hours later, I wake up to the sound of knocking on my door. I think about ignoring it and pretending I'm asleep until I hear Sofi begin to talk.

"Mila! Open up. Lauren is here to see you and mommy went to visit Grandma," Sofi spoke through the crack under my door.

My Grandma lived almost an hour away and whenever my mom visited her she spent most of the day there.

I realize Lauren is also behind that door and that she is going to ask me what is going on in the matter of minutes. 

I have to tell Lauren even though I have no idea how she will react. I cheated on my freaking everything and I have to tell her that to her face. My heart aches and I'm ashamed for what I am going to admit to her.

I unlock the door and open it slightly before Lauren bolts in with tears running down her face.

"Camila! We haven't spoken since Friday and you won't answer me! Is your phone broken or something? I didn't know if you were alive. Do you know how scary that is?! I haven't slept since Thursday night. Tell me what's going on right now," she instructed.

"Ok. I have to tell you something and I'm not going to say that you can't get mad or upset because you have the right to feel how ever you want about this. I know I made a huge mistake and I regret it every second I breathe. I just want to say I am so sorry beforehand," I try to begin.

"What is it? You're scaring me!" Lauren screams. 

"I went on the date with Justin and he wanted to kiss me at the movies, but I denied the whole time. We drove home and just talked and then he opened the door for me to get out in my driveway. He backed me up into his car and kissed me. I let him and I don't know why. I didn't feel anything like what I feel when I kiss you. I love you Lauren and I'm so sorry. I should have stopped him or ran away and I don't know what I can do to fix this," I explain with tears streaming down my face.

I can see Lauren's trying to hold back tears and her lips begin to quiver in shock. Then her face turns red with anger and she starts to speak.

"Oh my god! You cheated on me. I can't believe this! I agreed on letting you go on a date with Justin to save our relationship and you hookup with him in your own driveway! I should've realized what this was about. Why was I even worried about you yesterday?! You were probably too busy thinking about your kiss with Justin to pick up the phone! I can't believe I ever trusted you. I swore to myself that I would not date someone until I was confident they wouldn't betray me. I thought you fucking loved me! After all we promised each other, you went and did this! You probably were thinking about him the whole time we were together. Whenever we kissed..did that even mean anything to you?" She yells through her tears and storms out of my room and down the stairs. 

I follow behind until she opens my front door and turns around. Our eyes meet and I can see everything she's feeling. Her heart is broken and she looks destroyed.

"In case I didn't make myself clear, we're done. I can't believe you!" she repeats before slamming the door and leaving.

I stand in front of the door Lauren has just slammed in my face and fall to my knees.

I whimper and cry on the floor, finally realizing the damage I had done. I need Lauren and I love her, but I think I have ruined any chance of us being together. 

I'm sorry I left you all at a cliffhanger and didn't update for a few days. I was really busy. Also, sorry about the sad chapter. Continue reading to find out if things get better. Thank you for everything!
