The Wake Up Calls (Camren)

Chapter 3-

Lauren-

Something was up. Or at least something must have happened in the past week for her to be acting like this. She was always the funny girl who cracked jokes around us every day not caring whether anyone laughed or not. The caring girl who cuddled with me every night because she couldn't sleep, was somehow missing. The sparkle in her eyes that gave me the strength to continue, even when I am having a total breakdown and needed a pick me up before an important interview.

She's just amazing... I can't help my feelings for her. And these feelings are not just friendly ones. I just...want her to be next to me for the rest of my life. To be able to sleep with her arms around me. I just...don't know if she feels the same way about me.

A couple of hours later we decided to go out for pizza. I know whe are ao healthy right? Camila didn't really say anything when we were discussing what we were going to have for dinner. She sort of lagged behind when we all climbed out of the black van and over excitedly headed straight into the pizza shop.

"Ok I'll order. Ham and pineapple right Mila?" Dinah directed her question to Camila who stood staring at the order boards behind the registerd.

"Uhhh...you guy's choose." She walked off taking a seat on the farthest cushion seated table next to the front window.

Dinah squinted her eye's biting the inside of her mouth.

"What's up with Mila?" Dinah looled up at me.

I shrugged and followed Camila to the table.

I sat down and slid across the bench wraping my left arm around Camz.

"You ok? You don't have to tell me now...but when your ready...I'm here." I smiled into her eyes as she looked up at me. "You mean so much more to me than just a best friend or... sister Camz. So much more...you will never know. I have this feeling around you...i just...can't help it." She pulled me closer to her so our faces were centimetres away. I caught myself staring at her lips. My body shook slightly in anticipation to her next sentence. My stomach started to get butterflies making me queasy.

She opened her mouth and the words that came out stuttered slightly.

"You mean...so much more to me too..." She tightened her grip around me, her eye's filled with disappointment." But I just...can't do this to you..." she pulled back almost immediately, sliding away from me. I sighed, tears began to cover my eye's.

The girls soon piled around the table opening the two boxes of pizza.

Hawaiian...

I grabbed two pieces which soon disappeared from the white, plastic plate in front of me. The girls did the same.

"Yo Mila here." Ally separated a piece pulling it into the air attempting to break the long strand of cheese stretching from the pizza to the singular piece. "You haven't eaten any. Better be quick or Dinah will eat your share!" She placed the piece in front of Camila.

"Is it alright if I go back to the bus? I'm just really not that hungry?" She looled up at Ally.

Ally caught my glance and shrugged her shoulders.

"Yeah. That's ok Mila." We watched the small, tired girl sluggishly slip out from the seat and head in the direction of the exit.

We each looked around between the four of us.

"Something is up with that girl." Dinah took a bite from her piece.

"Yeah. First she goes missing for hours, then she and Ally...well get physical." Normani started.

"Forgets lyrics." Dinah added with a mouth full of pizza.

"Now she's not eating." Ally looked up at me. "What's going on?"

"I honestly don't know. She'll come to us when she's ready. Let's just keep an eye on her ok?" I looked around the three of them."Agreed?"

They all nodded.

When we all finished up and got back to the bus we decided to call it a night and go to bed. We walked into the bunk room finding Camila already asleep. The book of 'The Fault In Our Stars' was opened on her chest. Her jacket was lying on the ground along with her phone. I smiled and turned around to see the girls doing the same.

"I'll clean this up. You guys go to sleep." They all smiled at me in response.

I koved to the side to let them squeeze past me. I watched as they all climbed into their bunks.

Bending down I picked up Camila's jacket from the floor as well as her phone. As I placed her jacket down at the end of her bed her phone buzzed in my hands. Her screen flashed up at me.

Hailee- Call me tomorrow after your treatment. I love you Mila♥♥ Everything will be fine. You will be fine, I'm here for you anytime xxx

I didn't mean to read it. It just sort of happened. What is going on! I need to call Hailee tomorrow.
