Under the moonlight (Camren)

Camila's POV

I know I shouldn't spy, but I really don't want Austin to do anything to Lauren. Just because it's wrong to bully. Absolutely not because I might like her. Not at all. I just care for her. At least that's what I tell myself.

I follow her to the parking lot. I see normani talking to her, but I'm not close enough to hear what they're saying. They laugh and walk to her car. Shit. I don't like Lauren, so why does it hurt that she's going on a date with someone else? I see Lauren turning around so I hide behind a wall. Hoping she didn't see me, I peeked around the corner. I see the car driving away, Lauren nowhere to be seen. Fuck.

I decide to post a tweet. When I'm sad, and no one is really there to cheer me up, I make a tweet so random people can talk to/with me. Mostly they're really sweet, but the reactions under my recent are mostly stuff about me and Austin. Like I know we're not really broken up, but it's not like there's much between us anymore. He made sure that I don't want anything to do with him, after everything he has done to her. I read some comments before passing by one of a friend from Austin.

"Whore, fucking Austin and some dyke."  I'm very happy no one sees me right now, 'cause I'm pretty sure I've never been angrier. I looked at the user name. Maliksthebest.  That guy's dead.

Laurens POV

I walked back to my house. I saw a random car parked in front of my house. It kinda scared me but maybe it's just Brad. I grapped my key and opened the door. "Hello?" Complete silence was heard. I took off my shoes and left them at the front door. I walked into the living room, since I'm home alone, and I sat behind the piano. 

"What would I do without your smart mouth
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out?
You've got my head spinning, no kidding
I can't pin you down

What's going on in that beautiful mind?
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me
But I'll be alright

My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy, and I'm out of my mind

'Cause all of me loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me, I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose, I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh

How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you're crying, you're beau- Ow shit wtf! Dude you scared the crap outta me!" 

I saw Camila stand in the dooropening. "How did you even got in here?" She looked like she just caught murder someone. I looked better in her eyes and she has been crying. "I'm sorry, I-I didn't mean t-to scare you." 

"Hey, hey it's alright, what's up?" I walked over to her. She hugged me, surprisingly.

After a couple minutes she pulled away, much to my dislike. "Do you want to talk about it?" I asked. I still want to know why she was in my house, and how she got in. I'm very happy my parents aren't home right now. She nodded. "Should we go upstairs?" She nodded again. I'm guessing that she still can't really talk.

We walked up the stairs, into my bedroom. She looked around and smiled when she saw my 'the 1975' poster. 

"You listen to them too?" I asked her. "Yeah, I love them." She wispered. "Come here, you look uncomfortable." I said while plopping on my bed. She doubted for a second, before sitting next to me. She took a deep breath before starting to talk. 

"There's a lot going on in my life. Some good things, but a lot of bad things aswel. And I don't know w-what to do." Her voice broke, and she started crying again. It broke my heart. "Hey, calm down, it's alright, shht." I hugged her. She hid her face in the crook of my neck. Her breathing was very irregular, until she was barely breathing anymore. "Shit, Camila? Hey calm down. Camila?" She didn't react. 

I picked her up and walked to my balcony. I layed her down on some blankets. I heard her gasp for air. In less than a second I was sitting next to her. "Lauren?" She asked me, slowly sitting up. "Yeah." I smiled. "Shit you scared me." I laughed a bit. 

"I tend to do that a lot. How long was I gone?" 

"Not very long. Do you want me to bring you back home? It's almost 9 Pm." She fastly nodded no. "No please, don't let me go back there. Please." Her tone scared me. "Camila what happend? I can let you stay here or I can drive you to Normani or someone, but I need to know what happend." 

"Fine, I'll tell you. But please let me sleep here. Even if I scare you, please, I have nowhere to go." I was really scared now. But she looked even more terrified, so I talked before thinking. "Ofcourse. You can sleep here. I'll take the couch." 

"No, I can't let you do that. I'll sleep on the ground or something." 

"Not a chance." She didn't say anything, so I won. I noticed that she was cold, so I asked if she wanted to go inside. "No, do you mind if we stay outside? The moon always calmes me down." I nodded, and walked back inside to get a hoodie and some blankets.

I walked back onto the balcony and handed her my softest hoodie. I layed on my back and patted the spot next to me. She laid down and I put the blankets over us, completely wrapping us in. We sat in a comfortable silence. She shifted and I felt her put her head on my chest. Slowly I put my arm around her shoulder. I smelled her strawberry shampoo. I never thought that I would cuddle with Camila Cabello on my balcony. Scratch that, cuddle with her at all. 

I felt her breathing become more steady. Fuck, she fell asleep. I looked down and saw the most beautiful girl in the world, asleep in my arms. I calmed down, we could talk tomorrow. 

After a while, I woke up. Camila was sleeping, but not so peacefull anymore. Sweat was visible over her head, her hair and clothes clinging to her body. She moved her head a lot and her breath was very irregular. I heard her mumble some words. "No please. Please leave me alone. Austin. No!" She screamed, sitting up completely now. 

I tried to wake her up gently. "Camila. Camila wake up." Suddenly her eyes opened. She backed away fast. "Don't touch me!" She screamed, but she didn't look at me. She wasn't looking at anything specific, just some point behind me. 

I slowly approached her. I put my hand on her shoulder, and I ignored the fireworks that erupted my body. "Camila, it's me." No reaction. "Camila, calm down." No reaction, it seemed like she panicked even more after I said that. Crap. "Camila." Nothing. She really panicked now. I heard her slowly mumble some words. "No, no leave me alone, no! Please no." 

I sat completely in front of her now and I gave her a soft hug, carefull not to scare her even more. After some time I felt her hug me back. "Camila?" I felt her tighten her arms around my waist. "Camila, are you ok?" I felt her nod. "I'm here, nothing can get you." 

"I know, and that's what scares me."
