Impossible (Camren)

Chapter Twenty-Two

*Camila's POV*

"Mila." "Mila!" Dinah pulled the blanket off of me. I groaned. "Mila! Get up! It's almost 2 in the afternoon!" Dinah yelled at me. "I don't give a fuck." I mumbled. She leaned down to whisper. "Mila, come on please. I'll go get you pizza?" I lifted my head a little. "You know me to well." She smiled. "Come one. Get up. I'll be right back." She walked out  the door.

I sat there for a while. I hadn't really had the energy to do anything. I mostly sleep, read, and listen to music.  I spend most days thinking about her. And it's driving me crazy.

I finally decided to get completely up and take a shower. When I came out Dinah was sitting on the floor with two boxes of pizza. "Hi." I said. "Oh. hey." I sat down next to her and took a box. "Dang you going to eat that whole box?" "Got a problem?" I asked. "Just the fact that you eat so much and you are still small!" She said. "I'm fabulous." I replied stuffing my mouth. She laughed. 

We ate in silence for a while. "Mila" She said whipping her mouth. I looked at her. "Tell me, what is going on with you?" I stopped chewing. "What do you mean..?"  "You know what exactly what I mean." I looked away and took another bite. "Hello? Camila. Tell me." I swallowed and sighed. "I miss her Dinah." She looked at me. "Yeah, I know. I've known that for a while now" "How?" 

"Mila. you basically talk about her in your sleep,and sometimes you  spoke about her without notice." I kept silent. She took me hand. "It's not to late to talk to her, tell her you are sorry-" "It is too late. You know that guy, Luis? Yeah well I've seen them together at places" I interrupted. "Well, that doesn't necessarily mean they are together. She loves you Mila, and so do you. Give it a try, It won't hurt." I looked at her. "Okay. I'll try to talk to her." She shook her head "No you will do it. Not try. Do." I rolled my eyes. "Fine."

"Don't you roll your eyes at me" I did it again. She leaned over closer. "You asked for it." and she started to tickle me "Oh My God Dinah!!" I said between laughs. "Take it back." I tried getting away. "Take it back!" "Ok! Ok! I'm sorry!!" I continued to laugh. "Good" She let me go and ate another slice of pizza.

The next day at school I had one mission: Find Lauren. I stood and waited at her locker, but she didn't show up. I went ahead and went to homeroom, but neither was she there. I sat down. Maybe she was running late or something, but she didn't show up.

The next day I did the same, but again she didn't show up. I was starting to wonder what was going on. After school I called her. She didn't answer.

I waited again, and finally I saw her piercing green eyes. The ones that make me fall in love all over again. They seemed sad. She walked to her locker and saw me. She gave me a small smile. "Hi." I said. She gave me a wave. We stood there awkwardly. I cleared my throat. "Um, Lauren..I-" I was interrupted by Luis. "Lauren! Oh my god. I missed you." He gave her a big hug. I felt jealous. "Are you alright.?" She nodded. He looked at me. "Oh sorry. I'll wait for you over there" he pointed. 

She turned back to me. "I..I um can you come to my house later after school? I don't want to keep you from.." I trailed off. "It's okay. He can wait." I shook my head. "Can you?" She looked at me. "Yes." I took a step back "Okay. I'll wait for you. Bye"I turned around and made my way down the hall.

As I made my way I heard "Will you be my girlfriend?" I turned around to find Luis asking  her. She looked at me, but I walked faster. Not wanting to hear the answer.

*Lauren's POV*

I turned to look at Camila she must have heard. I turned to look back at him. "I...I'm sorry Luis. I've had a tough start of week. And I don't really..want a relationship right now.." He looked away. "It's ok. I understand. I'll see you around." He turned around and left.

And really my week has been rough. I got sick and since my health hasn't been as it should my body couldn't fight it very well. I've been a wreck. 

It really surprised me that Camila waited and talked to me. And she wants me to go over to her house. Could it mean something?

At the end of the final bell I met up with Normani. "Hey" I smiled at her. "Hey!" she replied cheery. "Guess what?" I asked. "Luis asked you out!" "Well yes that and Camila wants me to go to her house." Her mouth dropped "You're kidding." I shook my head. "She waited at my locker and told me." "Well that could mean something." "I doubt it" I replied. "Anything can happen. What did you say to Luis." "No. I have to go Mani sorry. I call you later and tell you everything okay?" She nodded. "Go on don't keep her waiting." I smiled and went to my car.

I pulled up in her drive way. My hands got sweaty, and my heart started to beat faster. I wondered why she asked me to come in the first place. I got out and slowly made my way up the steps. I took a deep breath before knocking. I waited my heart beating faster every minute. 

Her mom answered. "Lauren?" she asked surprised. "Hi" I greeted nervously. "It's nice seeing you again." She told me. I smiled. "Is, um Camila here?" She looked back. "Yes she is. Come in." She moved letting me in. "Go on you know where her room is." I nodded. "Thanks" She smiled. 

I walked to her door. Knocking slightly. "Come in." She said. I walked in. She was sitting on her bed. "Hi." I greeted. "Hi." she replied. I stood there awkwardly. "Um, so?" I started. "You are wondering why I told you to come?" She asked I nodded. "Yeah." She sighed. "I just...I can't...I-" She looked at the ground. "I can't take it anymore.." she looked at me "I'm sorry. I'm sorry Lauren. I really am"

She took a deep breath "I know I should of let you explain. But I didn't. And I was so stupid. So dumb. I was so hurt and determined to hurt you back. I didn't notice I wasn't only hurting you but also me." She stopped for a breath. "And I can't do it anymore. I think of you all the time. I miss you. Okay. I admit it. But I came to late. I realized to late. Someone else has you and I-" 

I needed to shut her up. I crashed my lips on to hers. She sat there surprised at the sudden move. I pulled back. "Lauren.." She began. I put my finger up to her lips to silence her. "No Camila. I'm sorry." I turned and walked out.
