"Okay, Laur, so what happened?"

Lauren looked up at Justin and Dinah. "Lucy came over. She kissed me; I kissed back. I didn't mean to, originally. It just happened. I wasn't thinking straight. Then Camila barged in yelling at me, then left."

"You idiot. Camila loved you, Lauren," Justin said.

Lauren nodded. "I know. I'm just... fuck, I feel so stupid."

"Well you should."

Lauren handed a piece of paper to Justin. Dinah looked over his shoulder to see it.

"I wrote a song," Lauren mumbled.

Justin raised his eyebrow. "You don't write songs."

"This kinda inspired me."

"If These Walls Could Talk?" Dinah asked.

Lauren shrugged.

"Can you play this on the piano? I wanna hear it," Justin said, and Lauren got up, walked downstairs to the piano and sat down.

She began playing the song, her fingers skillfully pressing the keys.

"I can't make coffee,
Stare out of my window
'Cause that's the place you left me,
Standing there
I hate this hallway for
Memories in the frames are a
Sobering reminder you're not here

Yeah, I know I made mistakes
'Cause my pride was in the way
You slipped right through my hands
But if you were here right now
Long enough to hear me out
I can make you understand

If these walls could talk,
They'd tell you how much I miss you
How I'm trying everyday to forget you
How I'm crying every night
'Cause I wish you were here with me
If these walls could talk,
They'd tell you that I never deserved you
They know I never meant to hurt you
Baby, you would know it all
If these walls could talk

I lay in my bedroom,
And dream of when I had you
When I wake the sad truth closes in
It's really over, you're not coming back, no
I don't think I can handle all of this

Yeah, I know I made mistakes
'Cause my pride was in the way
You slipped right through my hands
But if you were here right now
Long enough to hear me out
I can make you understand

If these walls could talk,
They'd tell you how much I miss you
How I'm trying everyday to forget you
How I'm crying every night
'Cause I wish you were here with me
If these walls could talk,
They'd tell you that I never deserved you
They know I never meant to hurt you
Baby, you would know it all
If these walls could talk
Oh, if these walls could talk

You'd believe that everything I say I mean
You would know how much I need you now

If these walls could talk,
They'd tell you how much I miss you
How I'm trying everyday to forget you
How I'm crying every night
'Cause I wish you were here with me
If these walls could talk
They'd tell you that I never deserved you
They know I never meant to hurt you
Baby, you would know it all
If these walls could talk."

Dinah and Justin stood there in surprise.

"Dude, that song was great," Justin said, clapping.

Lauren smiled.

"Yeah, that was amazing, Laur," Dinah added.

"It was great, Lo," said Camila.

Everyone turned to look at the shorter brunette who had appeared out of nowhere.

"C-Camila... uh, hey," Lauren stuttered.

Camila gave Lauren a sad smile. "You wrote that?"

Lauren nodded.

"You've never been one to write..." She trailed off.

"That's what I said!" Justin said, earning a 'Shut up' look from everyone else.

"Camz, please listen to me-" Lauren started, but Camila cut her off.

"Lauren, I told you. I know. You're sorry. I don't wanna hear it. I just... I don't think I can trust you again. You cheated," Camila explained.

"We're just gonna..." Dinah said, her and Justin leaving the room.

"Please, Camz, can we talk about this? I can explain."

Camila looked up at the green-eyed girl and sighed. She leaned forward and softly kissed her. The kiss was short and sweet. Camila pulled away after 5 seconds.

"I love you, Lauren," she said quietly, almost whispering.

"I-"

Camila cut her off once again. "I need time."

Lauren took a deep breath and nodded. Camila squeezed Lauren's hand lightly, then left the room.

Justin and Dinah came back in.

"You okay, Laur? You look like you're about to cry," Dinah pointed out.

Lauren suddenly burst into tears, and Justin quickly pulled her into a hug. "I love her," she sobbed.

"We know. It'll be okay. She just needs time to sort things out. Everything will n back together in no time," Dinah said, running Lauren's back soothingly.

"I hope so," Lauren whispered, barely audible.
