World of Chances

“Are you really in love with me?”

It was a simple ‘yes or no’ question that could’ve — should’ve been easily answered. But of course, like in every other situation, Camila was lost for words and she couldn’t find herself admitting to her that she was in fact in love with her. Lauren gave Camila so many chances, so many chances to be true to herself and everyone else. Sometimes it’d get so hard waiting around for Camila to accept herself.

Camila wasn’t completely afraid to love Lauren; well maybe she was a little, but the consequences that’d come after was what really scared the teenager. She didn’t know what her parents may think of her, she didn’t know what her friends may think of her, her family, her classmates, etc.

Lauren broke the silence with a sigh and buried her glove-covered hands in her pockets, “Okay then.”

And just like that, all Camila’s chances were gone.
