I Would Find You In Any Lifetime.

Conflicts

*MEDUZA - Paradise*

Lauren POV

We all made our way down to the second floor to find nobody around, so we headed down to the first floor soon hearing everyone socialising in the kitchen. I instantly scoped out my parents in the swarm of people littering the kitchen. I walked further into the kitchen catching there attention before speaking up.

"I was just going to go for a walk, just wanted to let you know "I announced mainly to my dad because I knew my mom would have something annoying to say about it. They both looked me up and down taking in my attire then looking behind me with a happy grin.

"All of you ?" of course they were going to have to be my selling point from now on... great.

"Of course " mission accomplished, i watched as all the parents exchanged proud nods and my dad gestured that i could leave.

Normani waited until we made it out onto the driveway before congratulating my easy excuses, there was a moment in her congratulations were i looked back to the other girls. There expressions were a mix of annoyance and judgement, if they were anyone else i would of spoken up and confronted them about it but i held my tongue because they were going to be my key to staying off my parents raider for the summer.

We had all left with no real destination in mind because quite honestly we had no idea where anything was or even if there was anything around.

After walking for around twenty-five minutes we finally came across something that wasnt just more trees. It was a clearing in the vast amount of trees which reviled a water hole, the water hole was enclosed by large brown rocks. The water shone a mix of blue and green, it didn't look deep from the edge but i assumed it dropped of towards the darker centre.

"Its beautiful" Ally breathed out coming closer to the water and standing beside me. "Dont get this type of thing in Texas, i can assure you of that" she chuckled staying focus on the water in front of her.

"Anything like this in Miami is either polluted or full of alligators" Dinah joked stepping forward along with Ally and Camila.

"i dont think there's anything like this in Cali, it mainly just beaches close to were i live. Is there anything like this in the concrete jungle ?"Normani nudged taking her eyes off the water and placing them on me.

"Probably somewhere but not anywhere I've been" i informed. It was in that moment when i heard Normani's phone that i realised i never messaged Mateo back, at the thought i quickly rummaged in my shorts pocket for my device. "i need to make a call" i announced separating from the group and stepping off to the side.

"Calling your boo-thang ?" Dinah mocked as i walked away. I just a mumbled a 'yep' not really to interested in her comment as i dialled his number.

"That reminds me, i need to call Troy too" Ally also announced walking in the same direction as me but stopping a little further ahead.

The phone only rang a total of two times before he picked up.

"Hey baby girl, how is it up there ?"

"Boring, we are literally in the middle of fucking nowhere. There's barley any service, I've just had to walk like thirty minutes from the house to get one bar to call you" i huffed leaning against a nearby tree.

"I'd fly out there and get you if i could, you know that right ?"

"Yeah, it just suck that I'm gone all summer and cant see you"

"Maybe you could fly home one weekend ?"

"I doubt it, my mom is constantly on me about everything."
