Famous (Lisa/You/Lauren Cimorelli)

Chapter 38 - Laurisa being jealous for +/- 10 mins

Narrator's POV

"Waddup, my favorite Cimorelli," Y/N greeted as she walked into her studio. "And the rest."

The music producer's schedule had been tighter than ever lately. With the first couple of recording sessions, they got lucky that Y/N had enough free time to squeeze out for them, but now it was tour date after tour date. So it was either the sisters going to the cities that the Y/E/C-eyed girl had a show at, or Y/N would just have to be coincidentally in the same city as them. This was one of the fewer occasions where they could arrange together to work on the album back at her home. 

Most of the time, Y/N would make her 'fashionably late' entrance. And it still amazes the sisters how they can arrive at the studio earlier than the music producer self when the studio is literally situated at her own house. 

Though this might be the first time Y/N is not only late, but also bringing someone along with her. The Cuban, who was kinda shielded by Y/N, stepped forward and gave everyone a small wave. "Hi."

The sisters all raised their eyebrows at the stranger. They knew that the music producer had girls swirling around her all the time, but they just didn't think she'd be so unprofessional to bring one to her work too. Lauren felt her heart sunk at that thought, she can't believe that she's actually become one of those many other girls around Y/N who also didn't mean anything to her-- Wait. 

Wait, wait, wait. 

"Camila Cabello?!" the raven-haired girl called out confused once she's gotten a better look on the 'stranger'. Maybe she wasn't that much of a stranger after all. 

Camila gave her an awkward tight-lipped smile. "Hey, Lauren," she said as she carefully made her way over to her. She hung her head down in guilt and fidgeted with her fingers. "I'm really sorry about what happened in high school. I get it if you'll never forgive me for it. I was just being dumb and jealous, and it was so, so fucked up of me. If I can travel back in time, I'd punch myself in the face for even thinking about doing that."

Lauren frowned at her. The girl did seem remorseful for what she did, and... she was one of the least bad ones if she remembered it correctly. Apart from that she pushed her in the showers and drenched all her notes, and almost threw her backpack at her, she didn't do that much. That was barely anything compared to what the other people did to her. And since she's obviously still friends with Y/N, that kinda helped her case a lot too. 

Finally, she heaved out a sigh. "I can't promise that we'll be friends, but I guess I can forgive you," she said unsurely. What she didn't expect was that Camila would tackle her in a tight embrace as her reaction. 

"Thank you, Lauren. I really appreciate it," the Cuban said, hugging her even tighter. 

And then it clicked for Amy, Dani, and Lisa too. "Wait, Camila as in your high school bully," Dani asked confused. 

Despite that Camila was classmates with Amy, tried to harrass Lisa but failed miserably, and had seen Dani a lot around in the hallways, they were never close. That is actually a pretty big understatement, they've barely ever talked back in high school except for maybe two, three times. So they only knew her as Y/N's best friend and one of the many girls that bullied Lauren. And in which the latter would stand out more. 

Camila nodded her head in really deep shame. She was about to cry with how bad she's feeling over it, and Lauren, who was standing next to her still, picked that up pretty quickly. "Guys, if I can forgive her, so can you."

And that just made Camila burst out in tears. Y/N sighed and walked over to her before scooping her in a hug. She knew the girl was gonna get overemotional because of this, but she's gonna be touring a lot, and there aren't a lot of people in this industry that she can trust, so it just somehow came down to her asking the Cuban for this favor. And also, she knew for a fact that she won't say no because she knows how bad Camila still feels over bullying Lauren all those years ago. It just worked well with her plan.
