The New Girl (Camren)

Chapter 31

Lauren's POV

Everything has been so boring lately without Camila. I still love her and I miss her more than anything in the world. Sometimes I think about telling her I forgive her, but then I remember that what she did was wrong. I don't feel confident taking her back and risking it happening again. I have been cheated on before and I thought it would never happen again.

Camila had sent me a video message via email since I was not returning her calls and texts. I have watched it over a dozen times.

In the video, she tells me how truly sorry she is and that she misses me so much. She explained that it would never happen again as she started to cry and beg for forgiveness. I feel terrible that I can't just forgive her and I have been talking to Normani and Ally about that. They try to cheer me up by joking around, but nothing seems to work. I'm not the same person I am when I'm not with Camila. She completes me. 

I rewatch her video message one last time before shutting the lid to my laptop and taking a shower. Today at school was one of the worst days in awhile. Camila was crying at lunch on Dinah's shoulder and Dinah had a really hard time calming her down. It hurt me to see her that upset.

My parents have noticed that I have been extremely upset even though I won't give them details. They told me that they know that it has to do with Camila because they haven't see her lately. I just brushed it off and said our relationship didn't work out. It's hard to hold these feelings in and pretend nothings wrong all of the time.

I step out of the shower and get changed quickly so that I can go on tumblr. I scroll through my dashboard and reblog a lot about missing someone that I love. Camila will probably see it, but it's important that she knows the truth.

I have finished my homework extremely early and find myself bored for once. After deciding to go for a run, I put on my sneakers. Stepping outside, I put in my headphones and begin to jog around my neighborhood and through a few trails. 

Catch me by Demi Lovato begins to play since I put my music on shuffle, and I immediately skip to the next song. I hope one day Camila and I can sing that song to each other again.

I take a quick break to catch my breathe and see another runner in the far distance. She is wearing a neon t shirt and shorts and her hair is tied in a messy bun.

I decide to start running in the direction towards the person since it's the way back home and it would be getting dark soon. The person comes closer and closer until we become face to face.

My jaw drops at the sight of Camila standing inches away from me. I instantly pull out my headphones and she does the same. We are shocked to see each other even though we only live a few minutes away.

"Hi," she says lightly.

"Hi," I reply, not sure what to say next.

"Can we please talk? You don't have to forgive me, but please hear me out," Camila asks.

"Yeah, I guess."

We sit down on some grass and she begins to speak.

"Lauren, the past few months we have been together have been the best of my life. I thought moving to this town would be the worst experience of my life, but it was the complete opposite. Whenever we sing together with the other girls, I have this weird feeling take over my body. You make me feel safe and you make me smile like no one else can. I love you and I know that I made a terrible mistake. He took me by surprise and I was an idiot to go along with it. I never planned on doing that and it was never my intention to cheat on you. If anything, it made me realize how much more I need to be with you. You're the only one for me. Please forgive me," she explains looking into my eyes.

I think about everything for a few seconds,which feel like hours,and stare down at the ground.

"What you did was wrong and I have gone through this so many times. I thought you would never do that to me. It killed me to hear you admit to doing something like that. I still love you, though. I know that everyone makes mistakes, so I'm willing to give you one last chance. No more dates with Justin. I don't care what you did while we were seperated, but if we're getting back together there will be no more cheating. I have missed you so much. It will take a little while for me to be able to fully trust you again," I respond.

"I totally understand that. Thank you, Lauren. I just want to say that I'm so sorry and I also have to ask you a question."

"What?" I ask confused.

"Will you be my girlfriend Lauren Michelle Jauregui? I promise to stay committed to you and stand by your side through everything," she asks with a smile on her face.

"Of course, Camz. I forgive you and I would love to get back together," I respond before throwing my arms around her and hugging her.

"Now we just have to figure out how to tell my mom..." she thinks out loud.

"Don't worry, we will figure that out."

I reach out for her hand and we intertwine our fingers as we walk back home slowly and talk. 

I can't believe I got my everything back and hopefully this time it's for good.

Yay Camren is back! Will Camila tell her Mom? How will the others girls react? Keep reading to find out. Thank you all.
