Second Chances

Chapter 2

"Ahh... what the fuck?" Not my ideal wake up call, as I said I was not a morning person so being woken up is my biggest hate. But as I opened my eyes, I realised where the hell I was and why I was being woken up that way. I knew exactly whose voice that was and why she was shocked. "Dinah, shit, I didn't expect you to come in here." Camila sat up immediately. "And I didn't expect to walk in on you sleeping with your ex?" She sounded a little bit mad, but more concerned. "It's not what you think." Camila said sternly. Dinah sat down on the end of the bed and raised an eyebrow at the both of us. "Last night I went out with the girls, which you know, and we bumped into each other in the club and accidentally grabbed the wrong phones so Lauren came here on her way home to swap phones and we just ended up chatting and I told her to just stay because it was late and it was easier." I mean I know it probably didn't look too good when she walked in, but they live together so I'm sure they trust each other. "What about your girlfriend?" Dinah glared at me. I know that I wasn't her biggest fan, that was the obligation of the best friend when her best friend gets broken up with, she has to hate the ex, it was understandable the way I treated Camila in the last couple of months of our relationship. "Ah, we broke up 4 months ago." I confessed. Her glare softened, there was almost some sympathy in her face. "I'm sorry to hear." I just nodded, I didn't want to get anymore on Dinah's bad side. "Well, I did come in here for a reason." She said laughing, "oh what you didn't come in here to see if I was sneaking ex's in here?" Camila was making jokes now, they must be okay. I laughed at the comment, Dinah was always the type of 'mother' friend. "I could sniff her out." Dinah laughed, fuck I probably did smell like alcohol and weed. "My bad, I probably don't smell the best." I confessed. "Well, you two better get up and get ready because we're getting breakfast." Dinah said jumping to her feet. Camila looked at Dinah with concern on her face and before Camila could say anything, Dinah knew what she was worried about "How about we have breakfast in the city?" Camila was worried about anyone seeing us together, I understood that, I didn't really want anyone to see us together either, it would cause too much confusion and drama which I didn't need in my life right now. I was still confused as to where Shawn was, there hadn't been any mention of him but then again maybe they were the type of couple who didn't do everything together.

I was showering and there were many thoughts going through my head. I was showering in my ex girlfriends house about to go have breakfast with her after staying in her bed, only 4 months after the worst thing that's ever happened to me. After the biggest heartbreak and pain that I've ever been through. This surely wasn't happening, I had to still be high or having a dream or something. Does this mean we're friends again? Does she forgive me? Do I forgive her? What if Lucy found out? Ah who cares if Lucy found out, she was the one who left me, she was the one who ignored me for months then came into my life and fucked me over again. I snapped out of my thoughts when I figured I'd been too long in the shower. I was getting changed in the bathroom when I could hear Camila and Dinah whispering, I put my ear to the door so I could hear clearer. "But she slept in your bed? Why didn't you make her sleep on the couch?" "I don't know, I was drinking, I didn't think anything of it." "And what about Shawn?" "What about Shawn!" "Does this mean you guys are friends now?" "I don't know, I think we still need to have that conversation but maybe she was meant to come back into my life for whatever reason." "Just be careful okay? I don't want her leaving you again if Lucy or someone else comes back" "I know, I don't either" I opened the door and walked into the room, I understand that Dinah was concerned but I really didn't wanna hear anymore. "I'm somewhat cleaner." I shrugged my shoulders, laughing because I was wearing the same clothes from the night before.

I think we were friends again? I mean she had been messaging me during the week, we hadn't seen each other since breakfast but we had been talking, just about our days or if something interesting or funny happened. It was Friday, I received a text from Camila.
