The Walking Fanfic (Camila/You)

Chapter Eight

When the door opened everybody immediately stopped talking and shot their heads in your direction. 

“Soo, there’s obviously an elephant in the room. One bigger than I expected honestly” you began addressing everyone, Camila giggling at your word choice. 

“We had a misunderstanding due to miscommunication god y/n that’s all you had to say. LET’S EAT WOO!” Camila said, dragging you to the table as she was still holding your hand.

“Yeah to put that into non-weird people terms, Cami here is my new girlfriend” you said smiling. 

“Yassss!” Jake, Normani, and Dinah said. Ally just smiled and gave you a loving look. Lauren on the other hand gave you an unsure look, an aggressive one, with her eyebrow cocked. 

“Heyy Camz, mind if I steal y/n here for a quick minute” 

“Go ahead” Camila said between stuffing her face. 

“Great, thanks” Lauren said with an obviously faked smile. You gave a confused look to Jake and he looked back kind of guiltily. God what did he do. You were shaken from your thoughts when Lauren grabbed you by your collar pulling you into the hallway. 

“What’s up Laur-”

“Can it. I know your game y/l/n” 

“What are you talking about?” 

“Jacob told me all about you. Last night he and I were the last ones up. I decided to interrogate him a bit, y’know, find out about you since my Camz is falling hard and fast for you. I mean I can see why, there’s no doubting the fact that you’re hot. You’ve got crazy charm, you’re charismatic, you got a hot body, gorgeous, hypnotizing eyes. And I know your type. You’re the kind of person to love and leave. I will not have that happen to poor innocent little Mila. I know about your past love affairs. How you used people to make yourself feel numbed against your pain. Let me tell you right now if you don’t intend on giving that amazing girl in there the world then walk away right now and never say another word to her” 

“Lauren..”

“Don’t deny any of this. I know it’s all true”

“Yeah, that’s the problem. It is all true. And anyone who knows it is so quick to judge me, they all assume I’ll be like that to everyone I meet. That was so long ago. And I already told Camila about it” you said, dropping your shoulders in shame. Lauren’s face softened a bit. 

“You.. You told her?? And she still wanted to be with you?” You nodded. 

“And I still want to be with her. Actually there’s nothing in the world I want more. I used to dream about this kind of thing happening to me. She became a drug that I was addicted to and I found myself watching X Factor every week just for you guys, for her, to see her, hear her, I always voted my ass off because the look on her face every week knowing you guys were going through to another week gave me such joy. I was pathetic. It hurt that I couldn’t be with her, that she didn’t even know I existed. The only thing that could satisfy the craving was her smile, her laugh, her voice, her words.. I’ve always wanted to know her heart is mine. And not so I could control her and break her heart, but because I want to keep her happy at all costs. I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for her and her gorgeous smile and bubbly personality. I love everything about her.. Over and over I fall for her.. And over and over I try not to. For the reasons you already know. I didn’t want to hurt her. I still don’t want to hurt her. Hurting her would be hurting myself. I was scared of liking her because I didn’t want to hurt her.. But now.. Now I love her. And I have for a while but now I’ve accepted it, I’m gaining control of myself so I won’t hurt her. Now that I’ve met her.. I can officially say that I’m in love with her. And hurting her is the last thing that I want to do Lauren” You finished. Giving Lauren a last look in the eyes and then turning and opening the door, where you found Camila waiting for you. She had a big smile on her face and it confused you, but before you thought about it too much you realized that she might’ve just heard you tell Lauren you love her. Shit. She wrapped her arms around your neck.
