Stealing Kisses

Chapter 4

It's been a couple weeks since Camila has even spoke to me. During interviews she will glance over, but if I look back she automatically looks away. I will walk past Dinah's room at night, and hear Camila in there sobbing. She now shares a room with Dianh.

Today we have an meet and greet thingy in Michigan, and I am really hoping that Camila will say something. I don't think I can handle another day without her. As we are getting out of the car I turn around to wait on Normani, Camila come up to me with her water bottle. "Hi Lauren"
"Hi Camila" I smile softly, happy that she even said hi. I look over and see Dinah with a big smile on her face.
"I'm sorry about running out on you, and not talking to you. I have been confused I mean I have known for a while that I am in love with you, but I never thought you felt the same. When you kiss me I felt something, and I know you did too. So if this is not to much to ask... Will you give me a second chance?" I needed a minute to understand this all. She was in love with me? She wanted a second chance? What does all this mean? I look over at the three other girls and they are giving me hopeful glances.
"Yes." Our manager Will came out and told us that we had 5 minutes until curtain, so we had to go before she got a chance to answer.

We were in the middle of an interview when Camila stood up. "Everybody! I have an announcement to make! I am in love with... Lauren Jauregui!" Everyone gasped, me included, and was saying things like 'CAMREN IS REAL!' And 'What about Austin?'

The crowd was getting to rowdy, so the body guards had us leave the stage. When we were exiting we came face to face with Simon. "What the hell was that Camila?"
"Me confessing my love to Lauren."
"What would you do if she doesn't feel the same way? Do you know how many fans that would cost you? Lauren? Do you feel the same way?"
"Yes, I am in love with Camila Cabello... I have been since the day I met her."
"Really? Lauren why didn't you tell me?" Camila asked in obvious shock.
"Because I was afraid you didn't feel the same way." I stated bluntly.
"Alright girls. You two have a meeting in an hour about Camren. See you then."

[...]
"LAUREN DO YOU LOVE CAMILA?"
"Yes."
"HOW LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN?"
"Ever since I met her."
"CAMREN IS THIS JUST SO THT YOUR YOU CAN MAKE YOUR FANS HAPPY?"
"No" Camila responded. "I recently found out my true feelings about Lauren, and I just couldn't take it anymore I had to confess my love."
"WHAT ABOUT AUSTIN?"
"..."
"WHAT ABOUT THE ENGAGEMENT?" That wasn't I couldn't take it anymore.
"There never was an engagement, and Austin and Camila are just friends now. That's enough questions we are really tired, and tomorrow we will answer more of your questions but we need to leave. Thank you for coming. " I stood up and grabbed Camila's hand and exited the platform.

"Lo?" Camila whispered quietly.
"Yeah Camz?"
"Do we have to go back tomorrow? That was too much in there."
"I don't know I'll ask Simon."
"Thank you."

We got on the tour bus only to be pushed out by Ally. "Lauren go in there. Camila go with Normani to get some pizza." Ally spoke frantically.
"Why?" I asked questionily.
"Because Dinah needs your help, and Normani wants pizza now come on." I didn't ask anymore questions. I just got in the bus to see Austin and Dinah in a screaming match.

I hurried to Dinah's side only to see Austin get even more angry. "Why the fuck are you here?"
"Because it is my tour bus, and why exactly are you here?"
"Because Camila belongs with me."
"Try again buddy... and is that alcohol on your breath?"
"Uh yeah... now let me see Camila." There was no way in hell that I was going to let him see Camila when he is drunk.
"Austin get out I'm not fighting with someone who is under the influence."
"Alright, but don't think this will be the last time I will be here." And with that he was gone. 5 minutes later Camila and Normani walk in with three pizzas.

~The Next Day~
Camila and I ended up in the same bunk, because there was a huge storm outside. I slept on the outside to protect her, but I think it was I who needed protection from Camila and her stuff banana. You do not know how many times I woke in the middle of the night with that in our face.

It was about 7:00 in the morning when Camila started speaking in her sleep. "No... No Austin.... Take me not her... No!" Camila was sobbing in her sleep. I automatically brought her into my arms.
"Hey Camz... Calm down you're safe now."
"Sorry I had a nightmare." She whimpered into the crook of my neck.
"Hey don't be sorry... Do you want to talk about it?"
"No..."
"Okay... Do you want breakfast?"
"Yes!" She screamed excitedly.
"Okay... Okay."

We walk into the kitchen and the other three girls are standing there. Smirking at us. "Can I help you guys?"
"So Lauren... How was it waking up with Camila's 'banana' in your face every five minutes?" Camila who was getting a drink of orange juice, sprayed the orange juice everywhere because she started laughing. "You know I figured it would be Camila who would wake up with your banana in her face..." Dinah exclaimed and I was about ready to fire back when there was a knock on the door. Dinah went to go get it, and four minutes later Dinah came back looking paled.
"Dinah? Who was at the door?"
"Uh Jessie... Camila's old neighbor... Camila there has been an accident"
