Let's Capture It

She didn't know why Lucy was here. There was no way she was here for professional business. Lauren had already informed her that they had paused the wedding.

And then it clicked for her.

Lucy's here to confront her.

"Stay away from my fiancé Camila." Lucy berated, point a finger in her face.

Camila was trying to hold back the tears. It couldn't possibly be true that they had gotten back together. "She told me she felt it too.." she says to herself.

"You got some nerve to sneak behind my back when I hired you."

"Woah woah woah first of all," Camila begins defending herself. "Lauren told me the wedding was off at this point, so you didn't hire me yet. Second, maybe you should start paying attention to her a little more and maybe she wouldn't have confided in me."

Lucy steps back, a little taken back by her words. "You know what.. I don't even know why I came here in the first place. It was all a misunderstanding. But you won't see Lauren again. Trust me on that."

Just as she turns around to leave, Camila stops her. "I need to hear it from her. Why should I believe anything you say?"

Lucy exhales deeply. And looks her straight in the eyes. "Because she fucked me last night. And after round two this morning, we're finally back together. So. Fuck. Off." With that, she stormed out of her office and slammed the door.

Camila brought her hand to cover her muffled sobs. Although there wasn't anyone else in the office, she couldn't hear herself cry. It was painful. Austin led her on for so long, and lied to her. This was different.

It was like.. Lauren abandoned her.

She gets up to grab her keys and bag, heads out of the office and gets in her car. She didn't necessarily want to go home. What was she going to do differently than cry her eyes out at home?

So Camila starts her car and heads back to Dinah's place.

It still didn't feel real. She really wanted Lucy's words to be all lies but if it was actually true.. "she used me then.."

—————

She couldn't play the radio on her way back to her friend's place. All they were going to play were their top hits. Camila wasn't in the mood to sing and dance in her mind. She wanted to sulk.

So she plugged her phone in and did exactly that.

"And tell me,
that we belong together..

Dress it up, with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated,
I'll hang from your lips,
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above.." she sang out.

Pandora never fails her. If she wanted to be sad, then damn it she was going to wallow in her own sorrows.

After twenty minutes of singing sad love songs, she parks her car in the same spot and bangs on the door. Dinah opens it quickly and looked as if she was about to kill her.

"Oh thank god it's you because I was about to cuss a bitch out for banging on the door like that." She says relieved.

Once Dinah noticed the tear stained cheeks on her face, she grew worried. "Mila..?"

Camila walked right in and threw herself flat on the couch with her face buried in the cushions. Dinah shuts the door and Normani comes down the stairs to see what's all the noise about. She immediately ran to Camila's side to sit next to her while rubbing her back for support.
