Let's Capture It

"Guys I... I just know I need to go home." Camila says, standing up. After hanging up with Lucy, she really didn't know what to believe. What was certain was that she wanted to go home. She couldn't possibly enjoy her vacation here in LA. How could she?

"Mila, you just got here. You can't just leave. We barely hung out." Shawn was slightly annoyed. All he wanted to do this week was catch up with his best friend. "I had so much planned for us."

"I know... I'm sorry Shawn." she says, placing a hand on his arm. "... I just... I have to go. Something just doesn't sit right with me."

Dinah sat there patiently and quietly. She wasn't sure if Camila had told Shawn about Lauren yet. Of course she already knew why her friend was so upset.

"What exactly happened that made you wanna go home all of a sudden?" he asks.

Camila didn't really want to come clean but if she was being honest, she needed to vent. "I'm... sorta... I-"

"Mila likes this chick back at home. Only thing is, the girl is engaged-"

"Was engaged." Camila corrects Dinah. "What?" she asks when Dinah glares at her. "It's true. She called off the wedding so technically..."

"Technically my ass Mila!" Dinah mocks. "Shawn, point is-is that this girl did some fucked up shit to her. Basically cheated on her."

"Dinah!" Camila yells. It wasn't anyone's business but her own to tell. It's a huge slap in the face the way Dinah was telling Shawn. She knows she didn't necessarily like Lauren but there was a better way to go about it.

"I'm sorry Mila but she seriously isn't worth stressing over. It's none of your business what she does back home." Dinah tells her, getting up leaving the room. She slams the door leaving Shawn and Camila by themselves.

"You don't have to tell me anymore Mila. It's okay. I understand if you wanna go... but... let me just ask you one thing." he says, turning to her. "... is she worth it?"

Camila nods. "Yeah... Shawn. She is."

"Then who am I to stop you from going after this girl?" Shawn tells her. Camila pulls him in for a hug. "Although I looked forward to us catching up this week, I want you to be happy. And no matter what happens, I'll always be here."

"Thank you Shawn." she mumbles against his shoulder.

"Dinah stays with me though." Shawn says being somewhat serious. "You know she's just looking out for you right?" he asks, noticing the frown on her face.

Camila shifts uncomfortably, not really wanting to talk about it anymore. "I mean... yeah I know. I just-I just asked her to give her a chance before assuming the worst. My relationship with Lauren is complicated."

"I hope I get to meet her someday." her best friend smiles. "And don't worry about Dinah, I'll talk to her."

"Are you really gonna keep me tied up like this? People will start looking for me you know." Lauren tries once more to free herself.

"Babe don't worry, I got all of that taken care of. I've already emailed your boss saying you're taking a mini vacation... texted your parents telling them you're with me and I also texted Ally saying we fixed things between us." Lucy says, straddling her.

She slowly dots kisses along Lauren's face. Lauren closes her eyes, trying to think of a way she can talk Lucy into untying her.

"But things... they aren't fixed Lucy." she says. "... what's your endgame?"
