Don't Go There (Camren)

Chapter 11

Camila couldn't sleep the whole night. She looked to the side but her friend was deep asleep. She stood up to go to the kitchen and get herself something to drink. She went into the living room and buddy came towards her with a wagging tail. "Shh!" Camila whispered kneeling down to pet the dog. She had to keep him quiet or else Lauren would wake up. They walked to the other couch as Camila layed on it momentarily closing her eyes. She then opened them and looked at the older woman who was so peacefully sleeping. She wondered what she was dreaming about and if it was a good dream. She then felt her eyelids getting heavy as sleep took her over.

-----

"Dreams can be good too." Camila woke up to voices talking. She opened her eyes and was met with fur. For a moment she was confused but then quickly remembered she had fallen asleep on the couch and buddy was laying beside her curled up. "Hey sleepyhead." Clara said. Camila couldn't believe it. "Clara!" She said jumping up and hugging the elderly woman. "Hi sweety slept well?" She asked. "Yeah!" She answered and then glanced at Lauren who was smiling at her adoringly. "Oh look!" Lauren said while scrolling through her phone. "You and buddy were so cute sleeping together this morning that I just had to take a pic of the two of you!" She said in adoration. Camila's eyes widened at the pics. Her hair was a mess, her mouth half open as she was hugging buddy tightly. She found the picture anything but cute except for buddy yeah. But Lauren didn't. Lauren found Camila beautiful, always. Even when she was sleeping. Camila's heart warmed at that. She just smiled at the pic pretending she just didn't think all of that. Camila sat down on the couch as she read the messages people had sent her last night. They all were asking why they didn't came to another party there was again last night. "Well then why did I dreamt that I was throwing rocks at him?" She suddenly heard Clara say and she got a little curious as she typed messages while listening to the conversation. "If you dream about someone you love a lot like that it can mean that there is a problem between the two of you that needs to be discussed." She explained. Clara still looked at her confused. "For example if I would have a dream where I am killing Camila." She started and Camila's head shot up. Why did Lauren take her as an example? This did mean she loved her though. Clara nodded her head waiting for Lauren to continue. "Well it would mean that we have a fight or there is something unresolved between us, like feelings or something.." She finished. Clara nodded understandingly. "That makes sense." Lauren locked eyes with Camila and smiled. Camila started to panick internally. Why did she say feelings? Was this a hint? Lauren needed to stop being like this. Driving Camila insane.

The whole afternoon the girls helped Clara and cleaned around the house a little bit. Clara was now laying on the couch watching tv. She was very weak ever since she came out of the hospital. "Come play with me now, Mila!" Chris yelled excited. Camila sat down on the ground as she began to play with him. "No Mila! Come play with me!" Lauren yelled jokingly. Camila nervously laughed. Dinah got a feels attack and ran out of the room. "I can't play for long though.. I need to go to my own house soon." She explained. Chris face fell. "I don't want you to go.." He replied sadly. "You know I have a different mother though." Camila tried. "I know but it was fun having you be here almost every day." The small boy said genuinely feeling happy that his fave sister spent so much time with them. "I liked it too. And I will come again after this weekend ends." Camila said cheering the boy up. "Yes!" He was happy again. "Come on let's play then!" Camila said trying to sound cool for him.

-----

"Now I really am leaving." Camila announced. "Ahh.." Chris said sadly. "I will come back sooner than you think." Camila reassured the little boy. He smiled weakly. He never liked it when Camila had to leave. Even if he knew she would come back. She hugged him. She then went to hug Clara and then Lauren. She took a deep breath before hugging Lauren. This wasn't the first time she had hugged Lauren it was no big deal but with everything that had happened between them this past week Camila felt different hugging Lauren. They hugged and suddenly Lauren lost her balance as they fell on the couch, Camila on top of her. "Wow lost my balance there." Lauren chuckled. Camila was blushing by now. "Yeah." She said pretending she wasn't flustered. "I'm leaving too." Dinah came in the room and also hugged all of them. She and Camila then left. Sinu picked them up and drove them both home. "So happy to come home again?" She asked Camila as they drove off. "Yeah I am." Camila answered honestly. As much as she disliked her mother she was actually happy to go home again. She could rest there. "Are you staying with us, Dinah?" Sinu asked. "No can you ride me home?" Dinah asked politely. "Ofcourse." Sinu said and drove to Dinahs house. After a while they reached Dinahs house. "Thank you." She said. As she grabbed her stuff and stepped out the car. "I will text you later, okay?" She told Camila. Camila nodded. Sinu waited for Dinah to get inside before she drove away.

"Are you staying home for good now?" Sinu asked Camila as they stepped into the house. "You can't stay there the whole time like you're living there." Sinu was once again jealous. She knew Clara was sick and she needed help but she didn't want Camila to replace her. Camila always talked about how amazing Clara was and how good they could talk together. Sinu had to admit it made her jealous. "No mom. I'm staying home for a while now." She groaned. Her mother nodded. "That's good." Sinu said satisfied. Camila rolled her eyes. Her mother suddenly cared about her and missed her. She knew it was all just a game. She didn't like it at all. "I'm going upstairs." She announced and left. "Okay." Sinu said not really caring. Camila sighed. She pushed her mother away she knew that but sometimes it would be nice to have her mother make the first step for once. Sinu didn't seem to care. She only cares for one thing. Her man. Camila threw herself on the bed. Busy week. She was definitely falling for Lauren. This was so wrong. This wasn't real. She grabbed her phone and saw she had a text message from Dinah.

DJ:

Mila:

DJ:

DJ:

Mila:

DJ:
Goodnight babe!

Camila locked her phone and went to the bathroom to take a shower. After that she went straight to bed. Dinahs words still in her mind. Did Lauren really look at her like that? Did Lauren like her? She didn't know. She didn't dare to ask them. Why couldn't she be in love with someone that was available and where it was not forbidden at all. Someone who she actually had a chance with because they liked her too. With Lauren.. She wasn't so sure. Yeah ofcourse she had showed some signs of interest but there was never a green light that told Camila it was okay to make a move on her. Sighing deeply she got under the covers. Finally in her own bed. She closed her eyes hoping she would catch some sleep tonight. But who was she kidding, she knew she would barely sleep.
