Till Life Do Us Part (A Zauren Love Story)

Part Eight: Lauren Styles

Lauren's POV
I laid down on my bed and started thinking of everything happened today and what Camila did for me, she's amazing and I'll never forget how she helped me and how many times she stood with me, I'll never forget how many times she made me laugh when I couldn't even smile. she is the only one I can trust with my life and after a few hours I'll be saying goodbye to her. God, this is going to be so hard, but I have to do it, I have to start a new life. The worst part of new starts is not being able to take anything or anyone from your old life.

I checked my watch for the hundredth time this evening. It was 7 PM, my flight is going to be at 11. I have to be at the airport before so I make sure not to miss my flight. I got up and started checking my bag to make sure I packed everything. Well, there weren't many things to be packed, the bag was so small and I don't have many clothes to put them inside.I made sure that I put the file on the bag too, it was my only evidence, the only thing that proves I'm Lauren Styles..

Everything was ready, it's 9 and I have to go now. I grabbed my bag and opened the window, I made sure that no one is standing down before I threw it out, it landed safely on the grass, now it was my turn, I looked again from the window, it wasn't that high but I felt afraid, not only from the distance but from the noise I'm going to make when I land, if Jack heard anything he'll kill me. I sat with my legs hanging out the window, I took a deep breath, closed my eyes and jumped down the short distance to the floor outside..

I fell hard on my knees and they hurt me so badly that I felt something had broke, but the fear inside me made me forget the pain, I stood in the dark for five minutes to catch my breath and make sure nobody heard me, when I was sure that everything is ok I grabbed my bag and ran as fast as I my leg could carry me, I arrived to the club after 10 minutes, my legs ached and I was gasping for breath, the air I was drawing in not being able to satisfy my need, I tried to control my breath as I called Camila to tell her that I'm outside waiting for her, she got out from the door and ran to me hugging me and make sure that I was alright.

"I'm fine Mila! I ran away, oh my god I ran away!" excitement and fear rushed through my body as I spoke. I still can't believe that I'm out from that home! I can't believe that in few hours I'll be at another country, I can't believe that I'm going to meet my brother who knows nothing about me, I wonder how his going to react..

"yes you made it! I'm so proud of you girl!" Camila hugged me again, the hug lasted longer than usual before Camila broke it "you have to go now, I told David that you're leaving the job and he gave me your salary for this month" Camila handed me a small envelope

"thank you Camz, not only for this, but for everything, for every minute you spent with, for every tear you whipped from my face, for every word you said to me,... I will never be able to thank you enough!" I said trying to hold back tears..

"don't thank me Lolo, you are the one who should be thanked, , you were my only family here, you made me feel like I'm still at home....." Camila was cut off by her tears, she cried so hard and buried her head to my shoulder, we both cried for god knows how long before Camila finally spoke "you know, I would like to hug you for hours but you're gonna miss your flight , and you know I can't buy you another ticket!"

I laughed a little bit "yes, I will.. Mila... god, I'll miss you so much" I cried again, this is so hard, I hate goodbyes. but moving on with your life starts with goodbye..

"I'll miss you too, but I'll never forget you Lolo! you have our memories, whenever you feel depressed or sad remember all the times we spent together, the laughs we shared, and even the tears, remember them and they'll make you stronger.. and you don't know, maybe one day we'll meet again.." Camila said sarcastically, we both know that this is not gonna happen, but  Camila never loses her hope, she's always optimistic, and that's what  got me to believe that there is always hope, that one day the storm will pass and the sun will raise again,, and that day had come, the storm finally faded away.. 

"maybe! you never know.. life s full of surprises right?" I quote her words, she always says that to me

"yes.. that's right.." she smiled "now come on, go and live your life girl! be free, life is waiting for you, go and see the good side of it! live, love and be happy.. make sure that you love handsome guys only ok? " she winked at me and laughed, I laughed with her "I'll keep that in mind!" I gave her one last hug, and with that I said goodbye to her and went to the airport.

New chapter is going to be written now in my life, or should I say a new book? in this book everything is gonna change, I'll be living for myself, I'll be happy, I won't let anyone take advantages of me, I will be free, I will choose what makes me happy, I'll make my own decisions, I'll do the things I love, simply.. I'll be alive ! 

"attention please, this is the last for all passengers travelling on flight number KL1297 heading to London, please turn up to the boarding gate"

I took a deep breath, grabbed my bag and walked to the boarding gate, this is it.. now I'll walk away from this shitty life forever.. there is no Lauren Jauregui anymore .. from now on I'll be Lauren Styles..
