Chapter 12

Camila’s POV:

I was busy flipping channels on the television. I successfully moved on.. or so I think. I haven't talked to Lauren since that night. A very bad memory, I guess. I heard she's dating Ally again. Good for her. But I can't stop feeling a little bit... hurt? Nah.. can't be. I moved on... right?

"You sure you’re not coming to visit Grandma?" Mom asked. They're going to Grandma's today since it's cleaning day. I don't wanna recall past memories. Cause She and Austin were very close. Grandma still refuse to accept that he's gone so she keeps mentioning him over and over whenever I'm there.

"No. Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself." I mumbled.

"Maybe I'll call Lauren so that she'll keep you company." Mom added.

"I said I'm fine, Mom!" I froze as I realized that I just shouted at my Mom.  "No need to call her." I sighed. 

"Suit yourself." Mom kissed my cheek then slung  her bag on her shoulder. "We'll be back next week, food's on the fridge." Then she went outside to be with Dad.

I didn't bother to watch them as they go. I just continued flipping channels on the television since that's the best way to kill boredom.

Lauren’s POV:

"Lauren are you listening to me?" 

"Huh what?" I snapped back in reality as I watched her took a sip on her ice coffee. This is really not my day. Ally raised one of her eyebrow then let out a huge sigh. 

"It doesn't hurt to pay attention, Lauren." Ally said.

"Um... sorry." I mumbled. Ally just giggled softly then laced her hand on mine. I managed a weak smile as I look at her.

I'm on a date with Ally. But I'm thinking about Camila like crazy. How is she? Is she  okay? Is she dating someone? No can't be... Oh shit I'm at it again. Can't stop thinking about her. The hell is wrong with me?!

I suddenly slam head on the table... What the hell did I do? I looked around me and saw people looking at me like I was crazy. 

"I think it's time to go home." Ally whispered as she dragged me outside Starbucks. I let out a heavy sigh as I shook my head. Seriously, What's wrong with me?

When Starbucks was nowhere in sight, Ally stopped on her tracks. She looked at me with pity in her eyes slash hurt slash guilt.

"This isn't working." Ally said in a low tone.

"I'm sorry."

"No.. No... None of this is your fault. Let's just go back to our original lives." Ally tried to smile but it slowly faded as she looked at me. "I know everything, alright. You don't have to pretend."

"Pretend what?"

"About you and Mila. The things you're showing to me.... they're all an act." She said as she folded her arms. 

"H-How did you--?"

"Oh please... We've been together before. I know you, Lauren."

"Right." I muttered as I scratch the back of my neck.

"Lauren you're the most charming and beautiful girl I've ever met." Ally said as she held my hand. "But you’re not yourself anymore. What happened?" 

"I-I don't know." I said avoiding her gaze. "I just don't know."  It's her that's what. I can't stop thinking about her.

Ally searched my eyes for answers but then she suddenly looked down signaling defeat. "I think I'll just go home. See you around Lauren." Ally smiled then walked away.

"Be careful." I mumbled. 

Ally dumped me but it doesn't hurt. Just thinking about Camila hurts. Because I know she'll never treat me as a friend anymore.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Ally’s POV:

As I walk away from Lauren, I was suddenly pulled in a corner. I was about to scream but a sly smile form on the most cutest guy on earth.

"Gotcha." He whispered on my ear as he pulled me close.

"Don't scare me like that, Troy." I giggled. 

He was about to kiss me but then I pushed him away. "What are you doing here, anyway?" 

"I miss you." He smiled. I can't help but feel a little tempted on those lips. "I don't wanna do this cool-off anymore." 

"Me too." I giggled then planted a small kiss on those lips. "You dated anyone?" 

"Hmmm... two. But they're not exactly my type." He chuckled. " How about you?"

"Just Lauren."

Troy's smile disappeared then he looked down. "I knew it."

I sighed then cupped my hands on his face. "It was just an experiment, Troy. Besides, I couldn't do without you." 

"I love you, Ally." He smiled.

"I love you too." 

He was about to press his lips against mine but then I pushed him away. "What is it now?" He asked.

"Something's wrong with Lauren and I got a feeling Camila's in it." 

"Let's just leave them and focus ourselves in catching up." 

"No.. They're my friends, Troy." 

"So what's on your mind." He looked at me like he was figuring me out.

"You wait at my house... I think I'm going on a little detour."

Camila’s POV:

Slice half a butter then throw it on the batter. 

"Half a butter... Throw it.." I mumbled as I literally throw it on the batter. I got nothing to do... might as well practice my baking skills.

I was gonna do the next step when I was interrupted by the sudden ring of the doorbell. Who is it this time?

"Coming!" I shouted as I washed my hand. I hurriedly went to the door and opened it. 

"Hey."

It's Ally... What's she doing here? "Uh-Hey? What brings you here?"

"I'm here for a sudden visit." Ally smiled.

I awkwardly opened the door and closed it the moment she entered. She flopped on the couch and let out a heavy sigh. 

"It's been so long. When was the last time I'm here?" She giggled. 

I cleared my throat making her giggles fade slowly. The last time she was here was to celebrate my birthday with Austin, Lauren and Ally as my guests.

"Umm...nevermind that.. Let's just... move along." Ally bit her lip then looked around. "We've been friends for so many years but the air around us is very tense."

"Y-Yeah." was all I managed to say. "So...What brings you here...really?" 

"Just one question and one answer." She said in a calmed tone.

"And what is that?" 

"Do you love Lauren?"

Oh shit.

AN : There you go :))))
