Don't Get Caught • Laurinah

Thirty-Six

The week leading up to my coordination went by fast and I found myself sitting in my bedroom holding an invitation to Zendaya and her new group. I'm not sure how this is going to go but I'm really hoping for the best if I'm being absolutely honest. I really just want this to go well.

As I drove to where Zendaya was staying I couldn't help but think of what could actually happen with this meeting. Yes I want everything to go well but things could go left very quickly and I'm not sure how I'm going to handle that.

"See I knew you'd come crawling back." Zendaya says as she steps outside.

I shrugged "I actually came by to invite you to my coordination." I told her. "I really hope you can come." She hums as she crossed her arms over her chest. "And why would I do that? I mean you didn't care about me when you choose Lauren over me. So why should I care about your stupid coordination?" She asked angrily.

I sighed "honestly? I don't know. I just really want to fix this with you because the last thing I wanted was to hurt you." I told her. "I didn't me to hurt you." She just shook her head as she sends a mean glare my way. "But you did hurt me Dinah! I love you yet because I'm not a worthless witch you tossed me aside." She says. "Do you know how cruel it is to love someone and for them to tell you that you're worthless, your love is worthless?"

I couldn't help but feel guilty because I never meant to hurt her like this. "Z I never meant to hurt you but I can't control who I love." I told her. Zendaya just shook her head. "You know what, it's fine. I'm fine on my own without a soulmate. Especially one who doesn't even try to love me." She muttered bitterly.

"Zendaya we never dated. We were best friends." I argued.

She rolls her eyes as she scuffs. "No but we were best friends and honestly if anyone should be your soulmate it should be me!" She screams. "Honestly why is Lauren your soulmate? You knew her for like a year yet you choose her over someone like me who has known you for years! That's just so unfair."

I huffed as I ran my fingers through my hair. "I didn't choose Lauren to hurt you. I mean before you said anything I didn't know we were soulmates. I choose Lauren because I tell her anything," I sighed. "I can go to her with any problem and she will always put me first and talk to me or just let me rant. We can spend hours laying outside looking up at the sky and say nothing but feel so content with each other that we don't need words," I chuckled. "When I'm just upset, sad or angry she always knows how to cheer me up and make me happy again. I feel whole when I'm around her and that's a feeling I have been looking for, for a long time and I found it with her."

As everyone was setting up for Dinah's coordination I was in her bedroom watching her with my mirror necklace. With what Zendaya did to me I don't trust her very much and I just need Dinah to come home safe. I need her in one piece when she comes back.

Seeing that everything was going ok I could tell that Zendaya wasn't going to do anything so I decided to go down stairs and help everyone set up. As I was walking down the stairs I noticed Camila was moping as she set up chairs. I didn't know her for long but I can tell when the girl is not herself and right now she is not herself.

"Hey is everything ok?" I asked softly.

Camila just looked at me and shook her head. "No, I'm not." She answered sadly. I couldn't help but from at how sad she was. "What's wrong? Is everything ok?" I asked quickly. Tears slowly fell down her eyes as she looks at me. "Zendaya's my soulmate." She whispers. My eyes grew wide "since when? How long have you known?" I asked quietly.

She sighs "since you brought me back. I was outside that night looking up at the roof and she came to talk to me," she chuckles. "We spent hours on the rooftop just talking and laughing, and she made me feel comfortable. I felt safe when I was with her and I knew in that moment that she was my soulmate." She said. "Unfortunately she doesn't want me. She wants Dinah and I'm not her. I'll never be her."
